This year we are trying to quit smoking.
It's my fourth retry in my life. Today is 30 days of no smoking, just a month. Except for those who had been forced to quit smoking for more than a month as a trainee, it is the longest maintained voluntary quit attempt. My parents, who knows my will, wondered.

-How do you stay this long? What's up?

= What does it mean to say that we have passed on the key to quitting smoking and life?

-You heard something so great. where?

= At the health center.

It is time when we went to public health center for the third day of smoking cessation. I didn't actually go out to the public health center. I was just walking, why don't you go to the convenience store? So I closed my eyes and entered the public health center next door. It was a brief refuge. I stopped by the smoking clinic.

But in fact, I didn't expect much from smoking clinic itself. Because I've already gone three times, but all my failures have failed. There was a dizzying nicotine patch and dizziness due to overdose of nicotine, and I sighed, 'I'm really bad ...' Even if you are eager to help, my will is this shape.



After all, doing this time was similar. Fill out the questionnaire, hand out some smoking cessation tools, text a few times and call a few times. Please guide me ... But the teacher called me at the end of the door.

“ Ah, Jang Jaeyeol. You might be smoking. Think about it. 'Oh, I made a mistake!' Think of it as a mistake, not a failure. If you fled today, tomorrow is not one day again, but it is four days of smoking cessation. You can keep counting dates like that. You don't have to count again from day 1. Did you know? ”

Oh, it was an unexpected calculation. As a result, all past smoking cessation was thought to be "screwed" the moment I smoked a cigarette, and then counted and exhausted from the first day. Did you just quit smoking? It was the same with the diet and the exam study. "Today, it's ruined, let's start a new plan from the rest of the date." It was a habit.

Now, two months later, aren't you similar?
Since you aimed to diet all month long, did you not think the project failed as soon as you inevitably ate chicken? How about studying English every day? And don't you hate me so much, and don't you just turn away or discard it as if you didn't have it? A typical obsessive perfectionist.

A perfectionist can't give you a name.
What do you mean? The 'perfect ending' is not often met and usually fails. 100 or 0 only, but the ratio of the two results is 1: 1, not half. Perfectionists think. '99 to 1 is not 100, so it's just 0. ' In other words, the idea of ​​substituting zero for everything except 100 is a probability of 99% failure and 1% success.

In other words, the name is perfectionist, but in real life people are much more likely to fall apart in moments that are not perfect. If you hit it with plants, you can't become a reed. One word from the health center teacher came to me with the message, "Why don't you acknowledge 97%?" I was thinking about resilience.

Recovery resilience is not a difficult concept of overcoming great adversity or overcoming wounds dramatically. It's just the power to return to its original place. Like a reed that rises when you fall back in a typhoon. In real life, even if you smoke a cigarette, you can come back to the race to quit smoking and say, "Okay, next day." Even if your calendar doesn't have a 30-day diet success circle, it's about 20 days of success, and you'll keep trying again next month.


I've made two mistakes today, 30 days, but still are days of successful quitting, not failure.

How many mistakes have you made in your decision?
Isn't it already defined as a failure?
