Life Essentials Magazine - June 2017
At Life Essentials Magazine, we understand that every day, a new door opens. What lies on the other side might be a bountiful gift at times, and at others it will be a monkey wrench you weren't expecting. Rather than allow life's unexpected events throw you around, you can take control. Together, we'll find a way to deal with whatever lies on the other side.

GET SOME EXERCISE<br />
Joining a gym, exercising or finding<br />
new and enjoying activities, can keep you<br />
away from cigarettes as well as improving<br />
your overall health. Exercise is also a very<br />
effective stress reliever. You should start<br />
off slowly if you have not exercised in<br />
quite some time. Going for a short walk<br />
is a great example of a beginner exercise.<br />
Speak to your physician before beginning<br />
an exercise routine.<br />

TRY THE DELAY TACTIC<br />
When you feel like you need to<br />
smoke, try the delay tactic. Try to distract<br />
your mind and your body for 10 minutes<br />
by going for a walk or calling a friend; in<br />
this time your urge will probably have<br />
passed. If you do not see the results you<br />
are looking for right away, you should<br />
keep trying.<br />

CHANGE THE WAY YOU EAT<br />
Try changing your diet habit by<br />
eating more veggies and fruits to avoid<br />
gaining the weight which results from<br />
quitting smoking. This will prevent<br />
the likelihood of weight gain that is so<br />
common for people who’ve recently given<br />
up cigarettes. You must remind yourself<br />
that your body will want to eat when you<br />
are quitting, you should eat healthily.<br />
