Perokok ?? Kalo Ingin Berhenti Ikutin Tips Ini !!!

ROKOK

siapa diantara kita yang sama sekali tidak pernah menghirup asap rokok? Baik secara pasif maupun aktif, pasti pernah menghirup asap beracun ini. Dulu sempat pernah kecanduan rokok selama beberapa tahun. Awalnya karena sering berfikir sambil menyendiri, dan membayangkan seandainya sambil merokok, bakal lebih terasa santai.ternyata setelah mencoba, rasanya memang seperti yang dibayangkan. Ada keasyikan sendiri saat menghirup dan menghembuskan asap yang memuat ribuan racun itu.

Namun tentu saja belakangan efeknya mulai memperparah kesehatan tubuh saya. Rokok saya memuat 33 mg tar dan 2,3 mg nikotin yang saya hirup setiap pagi untuk menemani perjalanan membosankan ke kampus, sewaktu jam santai di kuliah, dan sewaktu pulang kuliah. Apa bila sedang merasa terbebani oleh masalah, kebutuhan merokok pun bertambah. Ditambah lagi dengan penyakit keturunan dari ayah, maka akhirnya penyakit jantung semakin parah dan memperburuk kondisi kesehatan sehingga pada akhirnya memaksa saya untuk berhenti membunuh diri sendiri dengan perlahan. Untuk itulah saya mulai mencari artikel demi artikel untuk meyakinkan saya bahwa rokok memang sudah sepantasnya dijauhi

apa anda yg pada merokok tidak kasian dengan tubuh kalian?? Kalo kasian sebaiknya dihentikanlah kebiasaan merokok tersebut!! Dan ikuti tips-tips dibawah ini!!!

how to stop smoking!!

analisis kebiasaan

lakukan analisis atas kebiasaan-kebiasaan merokok yang telah dilakukan selama ini. Misalnya:

* kapan waktu tersering agan untuk merokok
* kapan agan secara otomatis ingin merokok

hasil analisis ini akan membantu dalam mengerem keinginan merokok.
susun daftar alasan

lakukan segala hal yang membuat agan tidak kembali merokok. Selalu ingat alasan-alasan yang mendasari agan untuk tidak merokok. Jika perlu susun daftar alasan itu.

* menghindari kanker, gagal jantung, gangguan pencernaan
* kehidupan sosial yang lebih baik
* ingat kesehatan dan kepentingan anak / keluarga
* makan lebih enak
langsung berhenti

pilihlah sebuah hari di mana agan akan berhenti. Dan pada hari itu, langsung berhenti total tanpa melakukan tahapan-tahapan. Umumkan rencana agan kepada orang-orang dekat agan agar mereka bisa membantu.
waspada pada hari-hari awal

hari-hari awal akan terasa sangat berat. Cobalah mengalihkan perhatian dengan mengkonsumsi permen atau permen karet tanpa gula. Sementara waktu, kurangilah kegiatan yang berkaitan dengan rokok, seperti pergi ke bar.
nikmati hidup

uang yang seharusnya dipakai untuk membeli rokok dapat dipakai untuk membeli hadiah bagi diri sendiri, seperti membeli buku, membeli kaset, nonton bioskop, dan hal-hal menyenangkan lainnya.
konsumsi rendah kalori

selama minggu-minggu pertama (sampai kira-kira empat minggu), makanlah makanan yang mengandung kalori rendah. Juga minumlah banyak air.

-----

sebelum saya lanjutkan, saya ingin bertanya apakah saat ini agan ingin menghentikan kebiasaan merokok? Kalau benar ada keinginan itu dari lubuk hati agan yang paling dalam, saya pribadi mengucapkan selamat. Keputusan yang agan ambil tersebut sangat tepat demi kesehatan diri agan sendiri dan orang orang di sekitar agan.melihat tingginya harga sebungkus rokok akhir akhir ini, keputusan tersebut juga sangat bermanfaat bagi kesehatan kantong anda.

setelah agan mantap dengan keputusan itu,mulailah membuang segala hal yang berhubungan dengan rokok. tidak hanya rokok dan alat penghisapnya, buang juga korek api, asbak dan semua yang berhubungan dengan rokok. Saat ini agan bukan lagi perokok jadi agan tidak memerlukan benda benda itu lagi.

bersihkan semua benda yang ada di rumah agan yang masih menyimpan bau rokok. hal ini bertujuan untuk menghindari munculnya ingatan lagi akan bau rokok. Cuci baju, sprei, handuk, selimut dan semua semuanya. bila ada dana,belilah pengharum ruangan sehingga ruangan anda betul betul berubah dan tidak tercium lagi aroma rokok yang bisa memunculkan kerinduan terhadap rokok.

jangan mencoba coba mencari pengganti rokok yang mengandung nikotin. banyak dijual di pasaran permen karet yang mengandung nikotin sehingga agan bisa terbebas dari rokok tetapi agan akan makin terikat dengan nikotin. memang banyak ahli yang menganjurkan cara ini, hanya saja harus dilakukan sesuai dengan anjuran dan dosis yang tepat.

alangkah baiknya bila permen nikotin agan ganti dengan permen karet atau permen mints sehinggamenghilangkan aroma rokok pada mulut agan. Hilangnya rasa rokok pada mulut lama lama akan membuat agan melupakan rokok untuk seterusnya.

biasanya perokok mempunyai jadual merokok yang tidak tertulis. misal mereka merokok sehabis makan, merokok saat ngeblog/kaskus-an, merokok saat antre kendaraan dan lain lain. buatlah kegiatan lain pada waktu waktu itu sehingga agan tidak mengisi waktu itu dengan merokok. misal sehabis makan agan bisa mengunyah permen atau makanan penutup. Saat ngeblog/kaskus-an agan bisa makan cemilan, saat antre kendaraan anda bisa browsing atau membaca buku. tidak mudah memang tetapi bila dilakukan dengan tekad penuh maka akan bisa agan lakukan.

berolah raga dan minum cukup air akan membantu agan melupakan rokok. aktifitas ini akan membuat tubuh agan tambah sehat dan membantu mengeluarkan toksin dan bahan bahan buruk dari rokok keluar dari tubuh. berolah raga juga membuat agan melupakan rokok karena asyik berolah raga apalagi bila olah raga dilakukan di lingkungan yang banyak ada orang sehingga agan bisa bergaul juga.

Demikian sekelumit cara untuk mengenyahkan rokok dari hidup agan. semua cara diatas akan berhasil bila memang ada tekad dari diri agan untuk berhenti merokok.

semoga bermanfaat bagi kita semua

yuk kembali sehat dengan meninggalkan rokok
mohon maaf, tidak ada maksud menggurui
karena asap rokok juga dapat menimbulkan rasa tidak nyaman bagi orang lain yang tidak merokok

Life is Like Chocolate ♥

Indulging myself with a bar of dark chocolate. I may not a connoisseur, but I’m enjoying each and every bite. Sweet with a bit bitter. Just like life. Life is sweet. Sweeter if you have someone to share with, but might be bitter to loose our companion. Life’s like eating chocolate, we do taste the bitterness, but we still continue to savour it.

Life goes on whether it is sweet or bitter. Maybe not as simple as eating chocolate and not as easy choosing our favourite out of diverse range of chocolate but we’ll find our way to cope with our new life. We, human are survivor. Sometimes we didn’t notice our abilities are beyond what we really capable of. We can’t pick who we want to be, but we can decide how we want to live our life.

We All Need Somebody To Lean On

It’s very important to learn to be self-sufficient and independent, but the truth is that we can’t go it alone, and we shouldn’t. Just as vital as possessing drive and determination is building a strong support system of people who have our best interests at heart. We need supporters in every aspect of our life, personal and professional, to be there for us when we need words of encouragement, a vote of confidence, or confirmation that we are, in fact, not crazy.  Developing these relationships takes time and effort, but is well worthwhile.

In your personal life, realize that different kinds of friends provide different kinds of support. When you’re going through a tough time, sometimes laughter can be the best medicine. Know which friend tells the best jokes and always seems to lighten the mood, and which friend is the best companion for a night on the town. It’s also important to have someone you can spill your heart to when you’re happy or sad. Not everyone is a good listener in person, but some people write really thoughtful responses to novel-length e-mails, so use technology to your benefit. Also, make sure you share good news with your supporters, instead of just going to them when disaster strikes. If they are true friends, they’ll find as much joy in your happiness as they would in their own.

We don’t all become friends with the people we work with, and that’s okay. But, it’s important to find at least one co-worker who you can trust to give you their honest opinion.  Even if it’s just running an e-mail by them before you hit Send, practicing a presentation, or getting advice on how to deal with a particular client or co-worker, having someone to turn to in the office is incredibly helpful. Having these types of professional relationships can also prove beneficial when you move on to another job. You will have someone, in addition to your supervisor, who can speak knowledgeably about your work and vouch for your skills and experience.

There is nothing wrong with asking for help, even though it might be easier for some people than others. As the classic song says, we all need somebody to lean on. But, we can’t just expect people to be there for us if we haven’t given them a reason to be. Building a strong support system is a process much like building any structure. You have to start with a good foundation; in this case, things like trust and reliability are key. Certain parts serve different purposes, just like the various types of friends and acquaintances we have in our lives. Gratitude is like a roof; it tops it off and keeps it secure for the future.  The process of building is hard work, but hopefully the finished product will last for a long, long time.

Who do you lean on?

Whatever Happens, Hold Onto Hope

In case you missed it on Twitter yesterday, I was feeling pretty gloomy. The complicatedness of certain life situations finally got to me, and I was totally overwhelmed. But, some incredibly good news at the end of the day ended up turning my frown completely upside down. So, I wanted to take this opportunity to share some things I’ve learned from all of this tough stuff craziness:

• Whatever happens, hold onto hope. Even when it feels like all is lost, never allow yourself to give up completely. Even a shred of hope could end up being the empowerment you needed.
• Understand that you’re going to have overwhelming moments. That’s called dealing, and as long as it doesn’t take over your entire life, it’s okay. Allow yourself some of those moments and truly feel your emotions instead of ignoring them.
• Crying is not a sign of weakness! In my opinion, it’s a sign of strength. It’s easy (although very unhealthy) to bottle up your feelings inside and not speak a word of them. The difficult thing is to let them out, to express them fully, to just let yourself cry.  Guys, this goes for you too, no matter what “they” say.
• There is no greater feeling than relief. Embrace it and be grateful.
• Having faith in yourself is so important. It gives you the strength you need to keep on going, even through the worst of it.
• Let others be there for you. Don’t think less of yourself for asking for help. Doing so doesn’t mean you’re an inadequate person. It’s okay if you can’t handle things alone. In fact, it’s normal. Accept the support that loved ones and friends offer you.
• Recognize that there are some things you have no control over, and some times when worrying won’t do anybody any good.

Most importantly, don’t take a single second for granted. 

I hope you realize that life is a precious gift. It is beautiful and fulfilling, frustrating and exciting, but it is also unpredictable.  So, make every moment count, and don’t take anything or anyone for granted. Stop making excuses. Say things like ‘thank you,’ ‘I love you,’ ‘I appreciate your hard work,’ and ‘You mean so much to me.’ Appreciate your life and all of the wonderful, beautiful, people and things that make it all worthwhile.

If I Am Not For Myself, Who Will Be For Me?

“If I am not for myself, who will be for me?

If I am only for myself, what am I?

And, if not now, when?”  

The meaning and interpretation of these questions, posed by Hillel (rabbi and scholar) many years ago, have long been the subject of discussion and debate.  They are questions that force us to look inward and truly consider the way we are living our lives.

“If I am not for myself, who will be for me?” When it comes down to it, we have to take care of ourselves. We can’t fully depend on others, or let others depend fully on us. There comes a time when we need to be selfish. Go to that doctor’s appointment you’ve been putting off. Take a day off from work and do nothing. Call it a “mental health day.” If there’s a movie you really want to see, but all of your friends laugh when you suggest it, go by yourself. (You won’t have to share the popcorn!) If you’ve got too much on your plate, say no. Stand up for what you believe in. Take a hard look at the people in your life. If you’re giving 110% to a friendship and the other person is only giving 30%, cut your losses. It’ll hurt at first, but you’ll be better for it in the end. Look at yourself in the mirror until you can see your own beauty. Buy yourself that special something you’ve been admiring for months. If you need justification,  call it a holiday present to you, from you. It’s great to be a giver, to be generous and take care of others, but you have to accept things from others sometimes too.

“If I am only for myself, what am I?” Be careful with this one, because the answer could easily be “an asshole.”  Let yourself be selfish sometimes, but not all the time. Put yourself first, but be conscious of the feelings of those around you. Find something that brings you joy andbrightens the lives of others, whether it be sending holiday cards to friends and family, or volunteering at a local food bank. It may take time, but find a balance between selfish and selfless. Too much of either will undoubtedly affect your quality of life.

“If not now, when?” Carpe diem, seize the day! The truth is, that we never know what tomorrow will bring. We don’t know how much time we have left on this Earth. So, ask yourself this third question whenever you have doubts about doing something fulfilling.  Don’t wait for a “better time,”  because there may not be one. One of my mantras is “make every moment count,” and it’s all about not taking a single moment of our lives for granted.

This all sounds fine and dandy, but sometimes life gets in the way.  We are faced with crippling challenges and seemingly insurmountable obstacles. But, no matter how crappy our lives might be at any given point, we are still so lucky to be alive. Be there for others, but remember to be there for yourself too. It’s okay to be sad for a little while, as long as you pick yourself up afterwards and keep on going. It all comes back to Hillel’s first question: “If I am not for myself, who will be for me?” Sure, we all have amazing people in our lives who love and care for us, but in the end, if we are not for ourselves, then the chances are that no one else will be either.

How would you answer these questions? Do you think they apply to anyone of any age and background? Are they a good moral compass?

The Power Of Smiling :)

STORY of a woman .

One of my favorite movie quotes is from Will Ferrell in Elf, “I just like to smile. Smiling’s my favorite.” Personally, I’m a big fan of smiling, and I hate that I haven’t been doing it as much as I would like. There’s been too much sadness, nervousness and worry in my life recently. I have spent far too many days with a frown on my face. I knew that I needed fun, and friends, and smiles, but I didn’t realize just how badly I needed them.

On Saturday night, my boyfriend and I went out with one of my best and oldest friends, and some of her friends. We went to a bar in the Village and hung out for hours. For the first time in a while, I felt like a normal 24-year-old in NYC. I had fun, I laughed, I smiled…I even talked about my mom without getting too sad to enjoy the rest of the night. My friend and I reminisced about people we grew up with, and told funny stories from when we were younger. She got to spend some quality time with my boyfriend, and I got to know her friends better. For a good hour, I talked about football with one of the guys. It was awesome!

I guess the lesson I learned here is the power of smiling, and the importance of letting loose every once in a while. Setting goals for yourself and working hard to achieve them is great. Being sad and worried about a sad and worrisome situation is totally understandable. But, make time for fun, and friends, and smiles.  Remember that you only live once, and once your 20s are over, they’ll be gone forever. So, live, love, laugh, and smile.
