How much of our lives do we spend seeking control? We want to control our weight, our smoking, ourselves, our impulses, our tempers, our loved ones, our circumstances. It's maddening. Every now and again, though, we are given the chance to exert a little bit of control. Done in the proper context, with the proper motivation, it is a great thing.
I'm feeling great about the smoking cessation program I've begun. The hypnotist has given me a great gift, a little extra self-control. I've been seeking it for months now. I feel good for having taken this step and I want to hold on to this feeling. That is one thing, one positive of quitting that I didn't figure into the equation...it feels so damn good.
