Prepare To Stop Smoking – Write Down Your Reasons

Suzanne — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 20:19:40 +0000

Preparing to do anything is well worth the effort, and this is just as important for giving up smoking as it is for anything else. And one important aspect of becoming ready to stop smoking is to have motivation to start the quitting process. The first step is to remind yourself of why you want to stop.

It has been found that people are more successful in realizing their goal if they write down their motivation and put it somewhere they can easily see every day. So write down your reasons to quit and put them up on a wall or on your fridge to remind yourself of why you want to stop smoking. Write down about 5-10 reasons, and when you are ready, you will find yourself much more motivated to quit. I have listed below some popular reasons cited by ex-smokers before they quit. Of course, your reasons may be completely different, but these should give you ideas to get you started.

Upon hearing from the doctor that you need to quit, maybe because of lung or heart problems.
To be around for your children and hopefully one day grandchildren. Or to be around for your partner, nieces, nephews, or god-child.
To set a good examples for impressionable youngsters in your life.
To join your partner in becoming a happy non-smoker.
To be kissed without that disgusting tobacco taste.
To save money. Think how much you will have saved in a year; what would you do with that money, go on holiday, buy something you have always promised yourself, save it for a rainy day?
To be fitter and look healthier instead of sprouting extra wrinkles and yellowing skin.
To be free from slavery to those cigarettes that dictate to you every day what you have to do.
To be free from having to keep going out for a quick cigarette in all those places where you cannot smoke.
To be able to taste your food and enjoy it.
To be fresher and happier.
To be free from that smell on your clothes and in your hair.
To live a healthier lifestyle. Some people run marathons at 80 years old, and the average smoker finds it challenging to run up some stairs sometimes.
To cut your chances of cancer, emphysema, and other nasty horrible diseases you can get.
To live a long and fulfilled life.
To gain self respect.
Better chance of getting a date who is not a nicotine addict or any kind of addict.
If you smoke at home or in your office, to have your home of office smell nice instead of like an ashtray, with yellow curtains and walls that you have to keep washing and painting.
To stop that horrible greying skin look after a heavy night out smoking.
To get pregnant or conceive. Even for men, the quality of sperm is better if the man has quit for 6 months.
To have more energy.
To be free without worrying where your next fix will come from.

Now you have the why. Write yours down and put them in a prominent place. When you are ready, you can move on to the how. My favorite method that I recommend is Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT for short. EFT can remove all the reasons why you smoke, leaving you free to stop smoking when you want to. If EFT does not appeal, there is hypnosis, NLP, NRT, and many other ways that help you quit.

Wishing you every success on your stop-smoking journey…

A virus caught along with 5 other students at university at the end of 1986, plus medical negligence, meant that I got smokers lung at a relatively young age. In desperation for help with my symptoms and quality of life, I turned to complementary therapy, and I have outlived one doctor’s prognosis by many years now.

If You Want To Stop Smoking But Smoker Friends Are Against It

Suzanne — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 19:10:01 +0000

There may be someone you considered to be a very good friend that gives you a horrifying reaction to your good news of quitting smoking and tries to re-addict you. Some people on their quest to stop smoking have several of these friends offering pro-smoking opinions as well as cigarettes.

It is often challenging preparing to stop smoking. For example, do you tell friends, colleagues and family of your plans? Maybe you wish to avoid the constant questions about whether you have quit yet, or about how you are getting on, how you are coping, and all the bombardment that simply piles on the stress when you really do not need any extra stress. That can make you feel like you are doing it for everyone else and not for you. The pressure to succeed and fear of failure are simply extra stresses. And we all know a wonderful quick fix for stress, namely a cigarette. So it makes sense that you keep the stress from friends, colleagues and family at a minimum.

However, when you proudly announce that you have quit for a week or so and a friend throws a challenge of why bother at you, that is not nice. They may say that they do not see the point of you quitting, or that we are all going to die anyway, so what is the point of stopping smoking, an activity that you used to enjoy. Of course what the friend omits is that it was an activity that you used to enjoy together. And the friend also omits that they miss sharing their drug of choice with you.

Some friends feel threatened that if you successfully quit, then eventually they will have to. They may feel pressurised to quit even though you may be totally supportive and understanding of their need to smoke.

To make matters worse, such a friend will wait until you are really stressed (probably by them deliberately getting you to breaking point) and then offer you a cigarette as a caring friend. The odd smoker friend may even threaten to withdraw their friendship or start distancing themselves from you.

It really makes you realize just how deep in denial nicotine addiction can take you. You have to really feel sorry for these people because they are almost how you used to be in their need for that nicotine.

If tempted in this way by a friend or someone who is supposed to care for you, it really is just an issue that you can tap on. Tapping is usually with EFT, or Emotional Freedom Techniques. It involves stimulating special acupressure points whilst repeating a releasing phrase. And before you know it, all that pressure or threats of rejection from the smokers in your life will fade into the background, and you can carry on with your journey of heath and well-being.

Is EFT an Instant Cure from Smoking?

Suzanne — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 10:33:37 +0000

EFT, which stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques, is a great tool that helps you help yourself. It is used for almost any physical or emotional condition. And it works relatively quickly. Because of that, and because professionals using it want to encourage others to use it, it is mainly the stories about fast recovery that abound on the internet and in the press. For example, most ex-smokers that I have helped in the UK to quit did so in one session with EFT and did not need to use EFT for smoking again; and I wrote about it to encourage others to quit. This leaves some users disappointed, as they think that the EFT is not working and give up. For example, about 70% quit in one session and 30% came back for more sessions. There was nothing wrong with the 30%. Not at all. They just had more blocks in their path that we needed to remove with EFT, and that´s perfectly OK.

Let me give an analogy. Most of us have used headache pills or powders at various points in our lives. And most people have a bottle or box of pain-relief pills in their home. The reason is that we might need them. And in that case, we might just pop a pill and the pain would go away and we would just get on with whatever it is we need to do. And I know that for a lot of us who prefer holistic alternative health, popping pills is not the answer, but hey, there were times when I have just wanted a pill and so took one. What I am trying to say is that as a society, we think nothing of taking a pill for a headache or other pain if needed. And that we do so because it works. We know it works, because the pain goes away, and then we can get on with our lives.

Let me show you this from a slightly different angle. We take a pill for a headache, and it makes the headache go away, and we accept that. And even though that particular headache is gone, we still keep a stock of pills available. And we never even question why. It is obvious; we keep a stock of pain-relief tablets in case we get another pain later that we need to quickly get rid of. And that, realistically speaking, is OK. We are happy with that.

But let me ask you about another scenario. We get a physical or emotional pain, use EFT on it, and it goes away. Some people then become very surprised if that pain comes back, and then say the EFT did not work. But they are still happy to take a painkiller, even though they have taken many before in their life and the pain came back!

And just like the pain tablets do work, so does EFT!

Additionally, just like the pain may re-appear or a different pain may appear, we think nothing of taking another pain-killer. And so we should think nothing of using EFT again either!

Now, I am neither advocating taking pain-killers nor pushing doing EFT instead of taking a pain-killer. What I am saying here is look at the way we happily consider pain-killers effective, even though we may have to take them again on another occasion, and that we should look at EFT in the same light. Despite whatever anyone promises you about EFT, yes, most of the things that are said about its quickness and effectiveness are totally true, but it is a tool that can be used over and over again for many physical and emotional issues, and it is OK to keep using it on one issue for a few months before a more permanent solution is found. And even then, we are continually exposed to emotional hurt and physical mishaps, so it makes sense that we continue using EFT in our lives; just like most of us use that handy headache tablet.

EFT is a great way to release the vast majority of physical or emotional conditions gently and effectively.

Stop Smoking and Preserve Your Face

Suzanne — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 05:45:46 +0000

Stopping smoking is the probably the best way to preserve and even improve your looks. Smokers typically have deeply lined faces after 40. Compared to non-smokers, it is a stark difference.

And if this is what smoking is doing to the outside, can you imagine what it is doing to your insides?

Cigarette smoke that is inhaled causes lung cancer, sinus problems and chronic obstructive lung disease. Smoking increases your chance of stroke and heart attack. Smoking causes smoking-related illnesses in other people that you force to share your smoke, like Roy Castle, a great comedian who died of lung cancer, killed by his audiences.

But there is an easy solution that can help you quit, starting the next few minutes. It is based on a mixture of specific wording and self-applied acupressure, to help you quit without feeling you are giving up anything. This technique is my own adaptation of EFT, Emotional Freedom Techniques. It really should be renamed Smoking Freedom Techniques! Visit my website and find out how and what others say. Study my guarantee. Get your freedom, starting today.

Do You Smoke by Habit? Stop These 7 Habits And Stop Smoking

Suzanne — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 10:32:02 +0000

It is often said that smoking is a habit. In a sense, I kind of agree with that.

People that see me in Cape Town for hypnosis to stop smoking often expect to be brain-washed to no longer have the habit. However, what if the act of smoking in itself is not the habit? What if there were underlying habits that need to be addressed? And what are those underlying habits?

Let us examine the act of smoking first. If that in itself was merely a habit, then all you would need to do to stop smoking is to stop the act of lighting up. For example, if I had a habit of wearing black all the time, to stop this habit, I would start each morning by wearing different colors. And if I wanted to change into evening wear for a night out, I would simply select different colors from my wardrobe. If need be, I would buy a few items that are not black. And it is as simple as that.

Take another example. A friend of mine had the habit of leaving all the lights on at home while relaxing in the evening. Then she found out how much electricity she could save by stopping this habit, and she stopped straightaway. The next electricity bill was a lot less, and she was pleased to be doing her bit for the environment. It was very easy.

But what about smoking? If you smoke and the act of smoking in itself was a habit, then all you need to do in order to stop is just to stop. You will be saving a lot of money and will be healthier, and it will be easy.

Not so convincing, is it?

There are 7 reasons why.

The smoker has a habit of considering smoking as a mere habit, and so is totally powerless to solve the real reasons why they smoke.
One habit is the abdication of responsibility. “I smoke because it’s a habit” or “I smoke because there is a monkey on my back telling me to smoke” and various other excuses.
The third habit is to tell yourself that if you stop smoking, this in itself will cause withdrawals. You will be irritable, nervous, lose sleep, or become ravenously hungry. Whereas in my experience, the cigarettes are there to help drug away irritability, nervousness, insomnia, or hunger. If the drug is simply stopped, naturally, the symptoms return. But it is easier to have the habit of blaming cigarette withdrawal for one’s emotions. After all, who wants to admit to being emotional?
Another habit is to take a drug instead of dealing with problems. As this becomes more and more of a habit, more and more negative emotions are swept under the carpet. It becomes instant conditioning to smoke in order not to feel angry or sad, or to smoke in order not to show nervousness, or to smoke in order to feel satisfied after a meal or whilst having a drink.
The fifth habit is not to consider cigarettes a drug like any other. How many times have you read this phrase “smoking and drugs”? As if there is any real difference. What I find particularly poignant is seeing someone smoke one cigarette after another whilst saying passionately how they would never take drugs.
The sixth habit is the need to be perfect. Many smokers are exceptionally calm when handling conflict, because they are drugged. Many women smokers are exceptionally fashionably thin, because they are drugged. But neither state of being is normal or sustainable. And neither state of being is perfect either.
The seventh habit is to hold onto denial, the “smoking is just a habit” belief, holding on tightly, till (literally) death.

So if you are a smoker who wants to quit, change these 7 habits, and you will find quitting an easy process. Hypnotists and other practitioners that use tapping techniques, such as EFT, TFT or MTT, can help you to be totally free from the underlying reasons. Change is easy when you know how.
