I would remind myself to believe in myself and my ability to do things. To trust my instincts and follow my heart, rather than listening to the negative voices of others. To be passionate and focused and never give up. I would treat myself with kindness love and accept myself exactly as I am now, warts and all.

No thanks, I don't smoke!

Dear Younger Sharona,
Keep believing in yourself. The little things matter. Walk on the beach, watch the sunrise. Sing songs to make you feel good. Find something to laugh about.
Dont worry about nothing. It never changes the situation. It only causes stress and wrinkles.
Enjoy your health while you can. It can all be snatched away from you in the blink of an eye.
Dont start smoking at any age. You are to young. If you do I recommend that around 30 have your lungs tested. This should give you incentive to quit. Hopefully you caught things before they are to serious. Take care of your lungs before they get worse. You dont want to lose quality of life forever.
Only marry one person. If a man abuses or cheats on you its the clearest sign God can give you to move on with your life. Dont be afraid to leave. Dont listen to one word. Remember you cant change how people treat you. All you can change is how you react to it.
Dont punish yourself. Its not love that hurts its the one you choose to love that hurt you. So dont harden your heart. Not all men are the same.
Put your heart in Gods hands he will place it in the hands of a worthy person. One day someone will look at you with love in their eyes that youve never seen before. Wait, for it Sharona. Dont settle for less.
Write a journal describing what occurs each day. Read it every couple months to see what has changed in your life. I think youll be amazed.

Yea to all the above messages. That's love talking to you AnnZ11. Read this over a few times and realize that these people care about you and your health. You are loved. God bless
