Enjoy having a non smoke...

My clients often ask me, during a session, what they should do when they see groups of smokers outside having a chat in the sunshine, apparently enjoying themselves. Sometimes a recent stopper can fall into the trap of feeling envious when seeing their pals out choking themselves.

I tell them to enjoy having a non smoke! Enjoy the fact that while the weather is good (like today) you can go out and breathe in huge lungfuls of uncontaminated air, the very lifeblood of human existence, without having the worry about the black cloud looming above you full of fears about what smoking is doing for you.

My favourite author, Kurt Vunnegut Jr, says this: when you're having just a normal, ordinary time with no worries, just stop and ask yourself - if this isn't good, what is?

Go outside today and enjoy the sunshine and most of all, enjoy having a non smoke.

Then ask yourself, if this isn't good, what is?
