I'm doing 20 things
It’s not hard to acknowledge feelings of lust and passion towards someone, but that is not what love is. Until I can let myself BE LOVE, I cannot give love, and therefore being “in love” won’t happen. It’s far, far away, if at all, for me.

How I did it
It made me
Sexy 
How I did it: I took a class and then downloaded a bunch of belly dancing music so I could practice at home. It's necessary to practice regularly since you will continue to improve. It has made me love my body and discover muscles and ways of moving that I didn't think existed. I also read about the history of belly dancing which kept me inspired to continue. Read how I did it…

Good morning!
How I did it: Got a clock radio stereo that would wake me up to any song I picked out on my ipod. I choose songs I do yoga to, and that just opens me up... I wake up happy and ready to greet the day. Getting enough sleep is imperative to mastering the wake up. Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: My good friends adopted a puppy who I met and adored, there happened to be 3 more from the same litter so I decided to visit them. I went out to a farm in the middle of Oregon and met the dogs. Two of them jumped all over me, and the third didn't bother waking up from his nap to come meet me... he was just snoozing in the sun, belly up. So I called him over and he came, sat, let me pet him, with this… Read how I did it…

It’s not like it’s necessarily bad for you. In fact, it could be the reason I have such a strong immune system. I give up… there are more important things in life.
I was able to quit by using Nicorette gum (2 mg) whenever I had a craving for a cigarette. Once the smoking habit is gone, you sort of forget to chew the gum. It worked for me and is worth the investment. I still keep some gum around just in case I’m ever tempted (like when I’m around smokers or have been drinking)
As an incentive, keep a “piggy bank” of cash that you would have spent on a pack of cigarettes (so for example, in my state cigarettes are $7 a pack and I would smoke about 1 pack every 3-4 days, so every 3-4 days I would put $7 in the bank. Then, when you have quit and are totally free of nicotine… take that money and buy something cool for yourself as a reward.
Good luck… be one of the 5% who actually remain non-smokers after quitting! It is hard, so you should be proud of yourself when you do. Who wants to be a wheezy, yellow, wrinkly, stinky old person anyway?
