I started something new today and it kind of surprises me. I keep a log of when I smoke, so today I wrote down my goal times on the side (2 hours apart), every time I made the goal (4 times today) I draw a star next to the goal time. I kind of like getting the stars. There have been at least a couple of times today that I did not smoke early just because I wanted the star! Really, must be the inner child incouraging me you think?
So I am on track for 9 today 15 more minutes and I get another star. This is so immature of me...but at this point whatever works, right!?
Not immature, I think. Our inner child remains with us, but only if we're lucky. You must be lucky!
ReplyDeleteYou know, Weight Watchers does a similar thing. They give rewards during their meetings for every 5#s lost.... little red bookmarks that say 5! Each time I got one, I loved it! I had those, you have stars. Same thing. A reward to collect. So what if it pleases the inner child - she needs it, and... she wants it:)
