Send your body the gift of loving thoughts. Imagine those thoughts penetrating your cells giving them the strength they need to heal. Envision your body returned to health.
The living body is the best pharmacy ever devised. It produces diuretics, painkillers, tranquilizers, sleeping pills, and antibiotics. It applies the right dosages with minimal or no side effects, and the directions are inbuilt. Deepak Chopra

2. Compassion. Without self-judgment, recognize how the habit you are trying to change creates suffering and stress(including our habit of being hard on yourself).Then acknowledge your desire to be free from this suffering.
3. Joy.Give yourself credit for and celebreate, any positive actions you have taken to support yourself in this change. Also add gratitutude for any support you have reiceved from your family and friends.
4. Equanimity.If you are feeling bad about a recent setback, remind yourself that mistakes are only human, and theyre an important part of the path of change. Instead of berating yourself focus on your larger goal, to be happy, healthy and free from suffering.
