So Ashley, I've always been a big time procrastinator, stopping after every chore to admire my work and having a smoke as I plan my next project. Eventhough I didn't need it or want it~it just got to be a habit which was hard to break as everyone here is well aware of. Over time I took part in many quit programs, learning strategies along the way and putting them into practice.

This latest book offers many and varied suggestions and practices which basically amount to 'doing something else,' and changing habits to something positive like just quit procrastinating and get on with what has to be done.

Now I spend more time on doing my nails, for example, pampering my feet..you know I spend hours walking,-hiking up and down hills and exploring new directions.

An old friend always used to tell me, "It's all in the mind." and I laughed but now it just seems to be fact after breaking habits of long standing and thinking of better things, more positive ideas of health, etc. You know the drill.

My son took me shopping today and called me a Hero. Have you ever seen a peacock fan it's feathers? That was me today.

I am very happy and sending my son lots of text messages on my new cell phone.

Don't worry; Bee Happy. Live long and prosper:)

Hi. I've been reading a good book on Overcoming Addiction by Corinne Sweet. It's a great book that explains all about addictions and how to deal with them. The best suggestions for me were all the other things she lists on things to do instead poluting our bodies.

It's all about understanding, choice and change and looking on the bright side.

There is an article in the newspaper of an 83 years old man who tossed his smokes in a drawer 35 years ago, got out of the dumps and started running. He has a heavy box filled with awards and is still running marathons today. People like this man give us a lovely example of overcoming addictions and living the good, clean life.

Go for it:)

Members,

Depression is clearly associated with negative stressful life events and problems in living. Stressful life events have been found to be associated with problems with general health and well-being and research has shown that people report an increased number of stressful life event in the weeks leading up to a depressive episode.

Any change in a person’s environment, even a positive change, can result in the experience of stress.

A major behavioural change or embracing a new lifestyle, the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or the end of a relationship is often considered to be a significant stressful event. But even positive changes such as marriage, promotion at work, birth of a child, going away to school, or moving to a new home can also cause stress.
