lack of motivation

17 років тому 0 +0 / -0 763

Beckylynn,

Lack of motivation can be part of the quit. Its always been a bit of a tough one for me. But today, I took the dogs for a long walk, and honestly, when I got back home, I really felt good. Go with the flow. I have days where I feel great and I really take advantage of them.

The blah days do get fewer and far between. I really try to listen to how I'm feeling, and I'm learning not to "judge" myself on my down days. Now I block thoughts like, "you should be over it by now!"

The last time I went to see the doctor, he told me that it takes about 3 years to HONESTLY be over the quitting process. And...God willing...one day at a time...I'm in for the long haul.

Hang in there!

Cheers, Jan

Becky,

It is normal and it will pass, but don't wait for that to happen, get involved. Make a list of rewards and relaxation techniques. Have a summer fun list. Get out and enjoy yourself, you have more time and if you have been saving, more money!

Beckylynn, Hi....

when you're preoccupied with your quit there's always an underlying anxiety which is beyond the cravings and the shocking triggers that occur. It does get better as the weeks pile up. You'll stop having your mind bombarded by "smoke" this and "smoke" that thoughts... Just remember that this quit is what your life is all about right now and that your work and social life are secondary to the act of saving your life once and for all from smoking... don't get worried that it can flash "boring" in your mind right now... it will pass when you're more comfortable with your quit...

It should go away or get better. You are just healing right now and your body is under a lot of stress, it tires easy. It is hard enough to get through one day mentally, thats all. Hang in there, hopefully sunnier days are ahead for you....

I just read Jans comments about lack of motivation. That is where I am at right now. Just feel like I am existing and getting through a day. Not much excitment and work is a drag. Will this go away or is it caused by something else? I hope I am not like this all summer.
