Tactical and Practical Help

Our programme is arranged around 8 themed sessions, each in harmony with your race stage.

Using the insights from those who have succeeded, we help focus on the tactical 'beacon' topics.

We also suggest a range of tips, tricks and techniques for your practical day-to-day life.

Positive Action

The switch to smoke-free cannot be passive, it takes postive action.

Positive action flows naturally from a combination of three things:
  • knowledge: understanding what to do
  • skills: the capacity to do it
  • inspiration: the desire to get it done

Each week we share with you knowledge, skills and inspiration designed to keep you resolute.

Your Race-Plan

Your race-plan is a map for moving forward. By keeping a few important themes 'top of mind', you will find it easier to stay on track.

We provide a broad range of insights. You select and include the ones that suit you.

Each week you will refresh your plan to reflect your progress and to fine-tune what's working for you.

Okay, so we highlight what to expect in your cross-country race, and you develop your race-plan.

You also need a way to stay on course and in stride.

Levers of Change

We explain how to use 'levers of change' for managing your progress.

Each lever is a made up of three everyday, down-to-earth ideas that you use all the time.

There is no secret! You are simply becoming mindful of existing habits while you complete your switch.
