I've got a metric ton of coffee and all the telework I can handle.

Bobby McFerrin did Don't Worry Be Happy Here is Marley.

Great thread as those RED FLAGS do pop up, especially during times of anxiety like we are experiencing right now around the world! I can start my quit all over again once the storm has passed! ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS~ Never has it been more important to KEEP YOUR QUIT ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS~

Nope, not today.

It is more important than ever to have healthy lungs at the moment. The virus will love smokers.

Huge Congratulations on your 1st year of freedom. It is a great achievement. All the best as you go into your second year. The ride certainly will be a lot easier from now on.

Congratulations Forestgreen! Celebrate your first year of freedom!

With current events effecting everyone in different and many ways, stress and anxiety levels for most people are understandably higher, the best thing that has worked for me now and in the past are: Breathing exercises Here are a few techniques, I encourage everyone to try just a few minutes a day to do a technique that feels good to you, its a case of experimenting as everyone is different but the rewards are worth the time. Deep Breathing Most people take short, shallow breaths into their chest. It can make you feel anxious and zap your energy. With this technique, you'll learn how to take bigger breaths, all the way into your belly. Get comfortable. You can lie on your back in bed or on the floor with a pillow under your head and knees. Or you can sit in a chair with your shoulders, head, and neck supported against the back of the chair. Breathe in through your nose. Let your belly fill with air. Breathe out through your nose. Place one hand on your belly. Place the other hand on your chest. As you breathe in, feel your belly rise. As you breathe out, feel your belly lower. The hand on your belly should move more than the one that's on your chest. Take three more full, deep breaths. Breathe fully into your belly as it rises and falls with your breath. Breath Focus While you do deep breathing, use a picture in your mind and a word or phrase to help you feel more relaxed. Close your eyes if they're open. Take a few big, deep breaths. Breathe in. As you do that, imagine that the air is filled with a sense of peace and calm. Try to feel it throughout your body. Breathe out. While you're doing it, imagine that the air leaves with your stress and tension. Now use a word or phrase with your breath. As you breathe in, say in your mind, "I breathe in peace and calm." As you breathe out, say in your mind, "I breathe out stress and tension." Continue for 10 to 20 minutes. This is just 2 but there are many more you can do on google and youtube and trusted medical sites.

Let's order wombats!

Walking and running with the dogs today starts a new regime, going to add in some punch bag work and weights and back to more Yoga

Turn and face the strange...changes

Congratulations Forestgreen!! The 1 year mark is HUGE! No looking back now. Forge ahead with your freedom. Best wishes.

Nuh-uh

I guess Stand By Me wouldn't be appropriate.

Congratulations Forestgreen! Flying Free!

I'm doing the same thing I was doing before the virus crisis, Nothing No I've had 72 hours off from work but have to start back today. They gave me a letter that exempts me from all travel restrictions if there is any associated with the CoronaV. So it's back to work for me. I wish everyone the best and hope this scare calms down soon.

Just in after inspection of courtyard. No snapped rats. No sign of rats for the first time in months ! The restaurant down the street is closed due to the COVID-19 shutdown, removing the rat's major food buffet. Maybe, will get ahead of the rat game, at least temporarily.

Welcome aboard helmethermit, it's a great decision you've made to quit during the lockdown. Hopefully as the days go by and you start seeing the health benefits quitting brings you'll decide to defend your quit. Smokers don't quit by accident. I smoked 35 years and always made sure I had cigarettes. You quit because subconsciously you want to quit. And trust me if you think you're having an easy quit now then you should probably keep this quit because the next time may not be so easy. One other thing, I waited until I had serious breathing issues to finally be ready to quit. Don't be stupid, dragging around an oxygen hose 24/7 sucks....

Turles Toes Yum

Ants taste shitty

Ask doc if the test can safely be delayed

Spring air smells so sweet Benefits of a lock-down Automobiles stink House so very clean Even the cracks and corners Mop 'n Glow-ing me Glad I do not smoke This virus is frightening Our lungs so precious.

Okay, good job. So far for me it's 10 squats (after watching 10 videos to see how to do them correctly -- easier said than done), and 10 push-ups (definitely been a while). Will also continue doing every other day arm exercises with baby weights.

Congrats

practiced yoga for 20ish minutes...watching the snowflakes fall actual snowflakes, not people
