Being Outdoors
Quitting Smoking is one of the biggest suggestions the American Heart Association recommends to combat heart disease.
I have never had to quit smoking, so I do not have any first-hand experience in kicking it. However, when I kicked Sugar I had to use many of the same techniques recommended to make the transition permanent
1) Being careful of triggers. Many smokers association driving with smoking, so finding something else to do with their hands is recommended
2) New ways to decompress. Instead of coming home from work and having a cigarette, how about going for walk? Do it until it becomes a routine and you do not have to even think about it
3) Be patient with yourself and others. Remember you are going through withdrawal and might not be your best self for a while. It will pass.
This concludes the American Heart Association 7 Guidelines
Tomorrow we start with Love. I’m starting with friendships.

As a Holistic Health Coach, it is Erin’s big hairy audacious goal is to change the dialogue around how we look at weight loss. It is not a matter of being it Ketosis or Food Swaps but the feelings we have that we are avoiding by overeating. Why are so many of us not tackling the real issues we have? It is easier and safer to obsess over the latest diet fad. Whether it be with our job, or our Mom, boyfriend, politics… until we address how we manage our feelings in the world, we are not going to.
