This is my first Blog - it is a test!

Hello All this is a test but I hope it is filled with some useful information. Maybe you or someone you know is going to try to quit smoking this New Year (or some other habit). This may be of some help to them.

"How to Quit Smoking Easily and Effortlessly"

Do not attempt until YOU are ready to quit. It does not matter what others want you to do.

If you are looking for specific step by step instructions this is not it. If you are a little analytical this may not be the best approach for you.

If you can FEEL, if you can transition or evolve - go with the flow, you will enjoy the power this process will give you.

What will change is how you identify with yourself over time. If part of your identity is that you are a smoker, that part of your self-perception must shift first.

Be easy about it and allow this change to occur do not force it. Love yourself right now for who you are!

When ever you think about it - once a month, once a week, once a day, or while smoking a cigarette at your favorite time of day, think or say to yourself something positive about your smoking habit. "Wow, I did not smoke as many cigarettes as usual yesterday." or Wow, this cigarette does not taste as good as usual." or "Every day I am smoking less and less!"

Id does not matter if it is "true" you are creating a new truth for yourself. Speak or feel these works with excitement. Be amazed, be happy about it!

Never condemn yourself, recognize and clear any guilt feelings - and always praise your progress especially the baby steps.

In time - what ever time it takes, what ever time will serve you best, you will eventually find no use for the because you identity of yourself will change.

This process works for things you want to improve as well. You are "Youthful", "Creative", "A Good and Patient Parent", "An Appreciative and Loving Spouse", etc.

The resistance you will feel is the contrast or conflict between your mind trying to keep the facts straight and your subconscious mind willing to experience something new and different. Your are not under oath, you are daydreaming the possibilities. Day dreams become reality all the time.
