Many people find hypnosis a useful tool to quit smoking. It
can be a really effective method to give up what many
people consider a nasty, expensive and unhealthy habit.
Quite simply smoking is bad for you and the use of
hypnotherapy to overcome this habit once and for all is
highly recommended.
So if smoking is really so bad, why then do so many
people continue to smoke? The following are some of the
reasons why this habit persists.
- Smoking is addictive.
The body becomes used to nicotine and develops a dependence
upon it. It actually misses it when you try to stop. This
is why there are so many short lived and unsuccessful
attempts to quit.
- Smoking is a habit
Like many habits smoking is one that is hard to give up. It
becomes associated with various activities both when
relaxed and anxious.
Talking on the phone, reading a book, having a break at
work during a busy day, having a drink etc. Indeed most
cigarettes smoked during a day are smoked as a result of
habit.
* Planning To quit Smoking
Before your appointment with the hypnotherapist it is worth
considering the following actions. This will provide you
with the best chance of successful smoking cessation.
•Choose the right time to quit
Plan carefully to choose the correct time to quit. This
should be at a time when your life is settled and on an
even keel.
Make sure there are no major life events looming – these
will only provide extra stress and lessen the chance of
giving up for good.
A good time might be before you go on holiday. Here, the
change of scenery together with a more relaxed environment
will assist greatly
• Tell the world "I'm going to quit smoking"
Really commit to this action. Inform all the important
people in your life.
They will be able to encourage you and support you through
the difficult times should they subsequently arise.
Also, do try to choose those who will actually support you
– avoid those who you think would secretly like you to
fail. Other smokers might fall into this category.
• Throw away all your smoking props
Make sure that you throw away your cigarettes, your
ashtrays, your lighters and anything else that reminds you
of your smoking habit. Remove all temptation from your life.
Manage your home environment – make sure that you instigate
a non-smoking rule. You do not want the waft of a cigarette
to tempt you from your chosen path of smoking cessation
• Build in a treat for quitting
Give yourself a goal to work towards as a result of giving
up smoking. Promise yourself a treat – a new dress, a
holiday, a nice meal.
Whatever gets you excited and motivate to stop. Try to make
this an exciting and pleasurable experience – you are
making an exciting change to your life.
There is so much more that hypnosis can offer in helping
you to give up smoking.
We have merely scratched the surface here – do research
further for more information on methods and techniques to
assist you in smoking cessation.
You will feel happier, healthier and wealthier when you do
quit. So get to it!
