I think I'd lean toward effective and/or constructive. I think it's excellent awareness of the consequences of a particular action. Then you get to decide if you want to deal with those consequences or not. But what happens if you're in such a mood that you don't care about the disappointment or dissaproval of someone else? Those times can come all too often, specially early in a quit when our emotions seem to be so unstable and 'extreme'. I think that when push comes to shove, a quit has to be based on what we want for ourselves. I'd like to think more about this one. It's an issue that's central to a quit .... "How do I refocus my thinking to the objective perspective that allows me to make rational choices re: my goal of smoke free?" Steve Hi Kelley,
I’m not sure ‘healthy’ is the word I’d use. I think I’d lean toward
effective and/or constructive.
I think it’s excellent awareness of the consequences of a particular
action. Then you get to decide if you want to deal with those consequences
or not.
But what happens if you’re in such a mood that you don’t care about the
disappointment or dissaproval of someone else? Those times can come all too
often, specially early in a quit when our emotions seem to be so unstable
and ‘extreme’. I think that when push comes to shove, a quit has to be
based on what we want for ourselves.
I’d like to think more about this one. It’s an issue that’s central to
a quit …. “How do I refocus my thinking to the objective perspective that
allows me to make rational choices re: my goal of smoke free?”
