Look for the Positive

There are days in our lives that it seems nothing is going right.  This can amplify the stress, which we are feeling, and drive us right back to smoking.  Whether you are the type of person that believes in the glass being half full or half empty really doesn’t matter.  People seem to bounce back and forth between these two extremes depending on what is going on in their lives.  When handling stress after quitting smoking it is important to look for something positive each and every day.  Don’t ignore the situations or events that are causing you stress, just don’t dwell on them and miss out on the good things around you.  You may at times have to wipe the tears from your eyes and take your eyes off the ground to see them.  At least make an effort to look for and find the positive and write down what you saw or even felt.
