I have a bad habit and its name is
smoking.
I haven't always been a smoker but it
is my firm belief that I am not that bad when it comes to smoking.

To be fair I only ever smoke when I'm
relaxing. This was on the recommendation of my uncle, the Padre
James.
Unfortunately with the massive influx
of a heap of stress, I've taken to attempt to relax a lot. I have
found that my smoking increases as stress does because the need or,
to be true, the wish for relaxation increases.
I stress about a lot of things. I tend
to worry. This does mean that I stress easily. I stress about work,
about university assignments, classes and life in general.
Although after two blood pressure
checks, Sunday and today (the latter being for a project I'm part of
- info to follow later, I guess?) I don't actually have a medical
problem because of it, so that's good. To be fair, I'm not the
healthiest feeling person and I know there's a billion ways that I
can improve but I guess the important thing is to GET CHECKED.
All that aside, I'm a lazy human being.
I'm not uber healthy because of this. Now, my smoking of course tends
to make me lazier. So, I suppose upon this realisation and knowing
that I need to make a change at some point means I want to start now.
That said, I do plan on keeping my
smoking where my drinking is: a social activity bystander. I will not
smoke unless I feel like it anyway, but I guess I'll save it for a
time that I know I'll enjoy it.
So with that, I guess I wanna throw
some advice to the wind. I read somewhere that things like alcohol
and cigarettes should never be something you think you need to have
or consume, but rather should be something you enjoy. Your health is
your business and so you need to figure out how you work and try to
keep everything is check.
They say health is wealth and I've been
pretty poor of pocket so I might as well try to pull myself up by my
ears knowing only I can change myself.
