If you would like to change your behaviour, stop smoking or become healthier in other ways. Ask yourself, your wise self, what is the positive intention of those unwanted behaviours? Is it the actual behaviour you want or does/did the behaviour get something for you (a good feeling etc).
I can work with you to identify those positive intentions and assist in generating new behaviours that are consistent with your health and well being that could achieve the positive intention of the part of you responsible for those unwanted behaviours but in (new) ways that are consistent with your personality, personal ecology and overall well being.
