During your break, it arrives in full in your inbox: you can use it without opening My ALO.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<article class=\"alo21-start__sample\" aria-labelledby=\"alo21-start-email-subject\" data-alo-email-sample=\"2.0.0\/en\/core.day_01\">\n<p class=\"alo21-start__eyebrow\">SAMPLE \u00b7 DAY 1<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"alo21-start-email-subject\">Start with one small part of today<\/h3>\n<p class=\"alo21-start__sample-preheader\">The whole day can wait. You have somewhere to begin.<\/p>\n<p>Day one. Your mind may already be asking about Saturday, sleep, and what happens after day 21. It has a remarkable talent for putting the entire month on today&#x27;s agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#x27;s start with one part: the first moment that usually ends with a joint. That might be waking up, closing your laptop, or finishing dinner. It doesn&#x27;t have to look like anyone else&#x27;s evening.<\/p>\n<p>When it arrives, go to the place you prepared and spend ten minutes there. If you never opened the preparation email, here&#x27;s the whole plan: move somewhere else and start something quiet you can do there. A page, a song, dinner. Pick one and begin.<\/p>\n<p>The urge may come with you. Moving doesn&#x27;t promise to remove it; it gives you a way through that first stretch while doing something you chose earlier. Today&#x27;s intention is still not to smoke. The ten minutes help you hold that intention. They aren&#x27;t a reminder to put it to another vote.<\/p>\n<p>Afterward, carry on with what you&#x27;re doing if it&#x27;s helping. If you&#x27;re still about to smoke, put your supplies out of reach if it&#x27;s safe, and ask for company: \u201cCould you talk with me for a bit?\u201d You don&#x27;t have to explain the whole month. If nobody&#x27;s available, you can leave that scene for somewhere safe. You can also write to me during the published support hours to prepare another option.<\/p>\n<p>And if you&#x27;ve already smoked, you can still take care of the next part of the day. Put what&#x27;s left away if it&#x27;s safe, and decide where you&#x27;ll spend the next stretch. You don&#x27;t have to wait until tomorrow to return to your break.<\/p>\n<p>Albert \u00b7 ALO<\/p>\n<p class=\"alo21-start__sample-reply\">When will you try that change of place?
