Stop Smoking Advice to Help You if You Wish to Quit
Smoking:
Everyone knows the reasons why they ought to stop smoking.
Unfortunately, we are rarely motivated to do the things
we ought to do; we find we are
naturally motivated to do the things we want to
do and becoming a non-smoker is exactly the same.
Be honest with youself, do you want to be a non-smoker? What
do you imagine when you think about it? Can you
clearly picture the benefits?
Have you got to a point in your life where you have got
reasons that are important to you and you alone? Is it your
decision?
Here are some suggestions to help you get clear:
1. List all your reasons why you want to stop smoking, not
the reasons you think you should.
2. Next, identify your top reason for stopping smoking; what
is important to you about this?
3. Ask yourself, what will stopping smoking do for you,
ultimately?
4. Still unsure? Imagine where you will be in five years
time if you don’t stop smoking: Be honest with yourself. How
will your health be affected? How much more money will you have
sent up in smoke? How much more difficult will life be as a
smoker? Think of your job, your friends, your family, the time
wasted, your self esteem.
5. Compare the benefits of stopping smoking with the
consequences of continuing to smoke.
6. And now, it’s time to decide the best time to stop
smoking. Ask yourself now, when would you like
to quit smoking? Pick a date and
start now to imagine yourself as a non-smoker from that date
forward, along with all the benefits:
- Picture what you will see when you
have made the decision and are free from tobacco.
- Hear what you will hear, what others
will say to you, how you will be congratulating
yourself.
- Imagine how free and in control you will
feel - in your mind, in your lungs as your
breathing improves. Feel how good you’ll feel about
yourself as you imagine that fantastic sense of
achievement, and how your self esteem improves. Imagine how
good you'll feel when you can go anywhere, socialise with
anyone, free of worrying about having that next
cigarette.
- Imagine how your sense of smell and taste
improves and over time you reap the rewards in
terms of health and energy, as your skin improves, looking
and feeling younger, not to mention the money you'll
save!
