HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU! MY PERSONAL PARTING 2017 MESSAGE TO YOU
To all my new friends and real connections here on Steemit... you are wonderful pioneering amazing people leading the edge of the new world that we want to see happen. It is US who have seen the light, and are taking action and being courageous, different, and taking on any and all the things that most people choose to ignore or deny. My FULL respect goes out to SO many Steemians.. you Know who you are!
I have learned SO much here, and i don't just mean about ideas, thoughts, and issues! Whilst Steemit has been an intellectual fiesta, it has also challenged me to my core. IT has made me question my actions, my motivations, and my integrity! To show up and Be who I really am, and say what I really want to say, without being too swayed by the results is a constant challenge. I have delved into so many topics and have really challenged myself to ask, what do I think it Important to share. What can I offer to Steemit and the world beyond that has real value and can make a real and lasting difference.
Through all of my posts and sharing I have also been dealing with life and the challenges it brings. I know many of us are very brave and courageous and each of us is dealing with challenges that really push us far beyond our comfort zones. I wish for you all to have enough detachment and faith that things happen for a reason, and we can greet these times with the knowing that they are a great opportunity to grow and evolve. The resistance and struggle against change can often make things many times worse than acceptance and trust. Therefore, a I would like to offer you the gift of surrender as an option when times are tough and we feel very small or vulnerable in our personal lives.
I would like to improve many things next year, and most importantly I would like to declare that I would Really like to learn to overcome my dependance on 'smoking' . This has been one of the greatest challenges for me, to be vulnerable and to not run to the safety of a smoke. I know that i use this sacred herb like a crutch, and that is not honouring it or myself. This is maybe my Greatest challenge that once overcome may lead to the real changes that need to happen for me. SO, please do support me with your words of encouragement and share your experiences, as I'm sure many of us know HOW hard it is to have addictions, and how difficult it can be to break long standing patterns.
Sending you all Very much love wherever you are in the world. Whether you are alone or with friends or family, I hope that you can have even just 5 minutes of peace and acceptance in your hearts as we move into the next cycle of life. Whatever you are doing, or not doing, whoever you are with, or not with, I hope you can all share a moment of total acceptance of the present moment, that it is just perfectly perfect, just as it is.
<3

Happy New Year!
An amazing message Alex ! I too need to stop smoking, it seems to take a toll on my positive Energy and vitality.
So I guess that I will join you in this struggling adventure once I get back home to Bulgaria <3
Happy New Year !
You got this!
I personally find bad habits to stick to contradictory beliefs we are programmed with, when you change the program, the addictions just kind of go away. I tried for years to get over my chocolate addiction. As soon as I stopped feeding my negative thoughts and focusing on positive, the addiction just went away. There are some deep programs though, very hard to find and root out, but you can do it!
I wrote a feature on ecotrain, let me know if there are any details you’d like me to add or change. Are you guys still doing a slack that’s open to anyone?

hello @eco-alex, I resonate with your words, these are indeed challenging times but those of us who woke up to a deeper truth have a responsibility, almost like a sacred duty, to share and lead the way by really speaking our truth, loud and clear, when everyone else might think differently, and most importantly embodying our truth, that's the more complicated part!
But we are all works in progress, and we are doing great considering what is happening here on Steemit, I've only just landed here a few weeks ago and I am... stunned.. there are so many genuine, real, caring and supportive people here, and I found you to be one of them. Very pleased to meet you.
I fully support and encourage you to honour your body and especially your lungs, by quitting smoking. I myself have quit since Xmas and there has been a huge difference in the clarity of my mental acuity, the purity of my energy, the determination in my heart to become a better me. I know you can do it, it's a matter of finding something deeper to fulfil you in those moments when you feel like the temptation is too agonising..
I would love to know how this has been going for you since the beginning of the year. Much love!
