37. Stop Smoking - Once you start smoking it becomes an endless cycle. Even if you have wanted to quit in the past and failed, the Law of Attraction can help you overcome this habit. Whether you have been smoking for many years or are nipping it in the bud quickly, it can be done. What to do: Remove the reasons behind your smoking by addressing the emotional and physical issues. If you smoke because you are bored, find something else to do with your time such as reading books or playing a quick game on your phone. If you smoke because you are stressed out, try meditating and relaxing some other way. There are plenty of ways to unwind without lighting up. If you are trying to be cool around others, understand that smoking makes noone "cool". True friends won't care if you don't smoke. If you feel like you're out of control, use positive affirmations and visualization techniques to rewire your mind so that you feel more powerful.
