Still Saying No To Cigarettes??

Today is the 9th day of me quit smoking, cigarette that is.

If you didn't know, cigarettes were my greatest struggle. I smoked a lot during the day, as soon as I woke up, the first thing I did was smoke a cigarette and the last thing I did was smoke a cigarette. So for me not to smoke, and now for 9 days in a row, is a great achievement.

I still get cravings, especially in the mornings and sometimes when I'm done eating but it's not as much as in the beginning. Overall the cravings are not as hard as I  thought they would be. I would imagine myself pulling my hair out, going crazy & unable to continue my day without a smoke. But the cravings turned out to be way easier to handle. 

I also have a different mindset now, I try not to think that I'm missing something without that smoke. I see it more as, 'I've tried a lot of years to quit smoking and now that I finally succeed I don't want to go through those struggles again'.


The things that reminds me not to cave as I'm having cravings are;

• Once I take just one puff, I have to start all over again with counting my quit days 
• It's not like smoking is delicious and I'm missing out, it's the withdrawal in me that's letting me think that I need to smoke.
• I know from the past, that if I just take one puff from a smoke I would be addicted in no time and smoking a pack a day again, and the struggle to quit smoking is way too hard to do all over again.
• I'm saving that €7-, a day, which I love.
• I don't have that awful smell, following me around like a second skin.
• I can finally start living the live I've always wanted as a non-smoker.
• I don't have to spent countless hours being depressed thinking of how smoking ruins my life, but at the same time feeling like you can't quit.  

Smoking weed is not something I do all day long. Mostly I smoke at night, if I have time I smoke in the morning and around 4/5 pm. But it's still something that I have to get rid of. Because as long as I'm still smoking weed, I'm not a non-smoker and I'm still addicted to something that doesn't benefit my life.

Make a Change!!

Let's make this year different from all the previous years. Let's end this year with a lot of our goals and dreams accomplished and as a way better person then how we entered this year.

As I've mentioned in a previous post, I'm really excited about this year, I'm ready to work hard on achieving my goals and seeing my life change. It's all because of changing my mindset, this time it won't stay at a change of mindset only, but I will work on achieving my goals as well.

I didn't accomplish any goals I'd set for 2016, but my eyes have opened in a lot of area's of my life, and on the decisions I'd made in life that got me where I am right now.
And let me tell you, I'm not even near where I want to be in life at this moment, but I know I will get there.

I'd lack motivation to do anything in life because my life wasn't how I wanted it to be. And don't get me wrong, I had the mindset, I educated myself on how I had to do the things I needed to do to accomplish my goals, I was at the start of completing some of my biggest goals in life. But I'd fallen in a depression and started to believe that my goals were out of reach.
It's only because I always had this feeling deep inside of me, that knew there's more in life for me, that I shouldn't give up on my dreams. The only one that can make a change in my life is ME, so I need to start and take steps towards recreating my life.


I've always written down my goals in life, it's something I started to do at an early age. Over the last couple of years I still wrote down my goals, but I didn't follow up on them. This year will be different. I've set my goals for these years, I broke it down in a 5 year goal, a 1 year goal, and then in my weekly goals. Every week I write down the goals I have to accomplish to come closer to achieving my 1 year goals. Based on my weekly goals I can plan what I have to do every day to achieve my goals.

It's important to write down your goals and break it down in steps on how to achieve them. This will keep you motivated and determined to get you where you want to be in life, to work harder towards your goals and it will also keep your mind focus on why you're doing this

So I challenge you to set some goals for yourself this year and to work daily on achieving them.
Get out of your comfort zone and recreate your life so you can do what you desire to do in life.

Get Rid Of Toxic People

It's about time to make this the best year of your life. Maybe it means getting rid of  toxic people out of your life. If you want to get anywhere, or achieve your goals, it's necessary to get these people out of your life. You may think that their toxic ways will never effect you or rub of on you, trust me, it will.
You'll take over each others bad habits, which will hurt you in the future.


Get rid of these toxic people
You know for yourself who these toxic people around you are, maybe you'll have to make a list for yourself, whilst writing this list be honest to yourself. Perhaps the most negative people around you, could be your closest friends or family. But if you have a vision for yourself, your future, and what you want to do with your life, you have to get rid of these people.

Everybody knows the saying 'Show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are''.
This is so true, that's why it's important to choose your friends wisely, especially these days.


Surround yourself with positive people. People who educate themselves, who have good ambition in life and strive to achieve their goals. Having these people around you will challenge you to do better for yourself & to go out there and achieve your own goals.
Listen to motivational speeches and uplift yourself with positive words.


Educate yourself and better yourself in any way possible. If you don't have a lot of money, try to get as much free information about the things you want to learn. You can find a lot of free information on the internet, get a membership at the library, maybe there are free workshops you can join. Just go out there and find a way to educate yourself and improve your skills.
