Quit Smoking – Get The Smoke Out Of Your Brain

2006-11-19T10:21:00.000-08:00

If you are a chain smoker, you know how it’s hard to quit. But maybe you are even not willing to quit. You could even think that smoking gives you pleasure, relax and helps you to concentrate.

Well, if this is the case, then it’s time to get the smoke out of your brain and your thoughts out of the smoke, such that you can see things clearly...

Pleasure?

Ok, probably you find smoking pleasant. The point is that this pleasure is fake, as many other things relating to smoking: in fact this pleasure relies on giving your brain its expected drug dose. Of course this drug is nicotine.

As addiction increases, you already know that to regain the same level of experience of the previous one you need a higher dose, and this makes the vicious cycle perpetuating.

Relax?

You probably find smoking relaxing. The addiction issue on pleasure applies also to relaxation: if you are a smoker and are not giving your brain the requisite dose, you are going to experience agitation.

The feeling of easiness you feel after going for another cigarette is just a side effect of addiction to nicotine, which intoxicates your mind and makes you relax for a short period of time.

If you were experiencing restlessness, this quick relax will make you feel much better and your mind will start thinking that smoking is your best friend.

Concentration?

Many smokers think that smoking is going to help them to concentrate. Well, there is no medical support for this; instead, the contrary is true: a non smoker has usually a higher concentration power than a smoker.

The simple scientific fact is this: smoking will block arteries capacity and this will reduce the supply of oxygen to the brain. You can easily understand that this lack of oxygen will cause lack of concentration.

The psychological perception that smoking will increase you concentration is just a perception. It comes from the same addictive vicious cycle of pleasure and relaxation: addiction makes things for you uneasy, fulfilling the addiction makes you feel better in a short time and you think that fulfilling the addiction has a positive effect on you.

Back To The Present

Fulfilling the addiction cycle is not a solution. If you want to experience real pleasure, relax and concentration, you have to quit smoking.

Taking the smoke out of your mind is an essential step in your physical and psychological health. And, of course, the starting point is changing your habit.

What Really Minds

Your mind can help you to get rid of the smoke in your mind. Talking with your subconscious mind is one of the best effective means of achieving this result.

Hypnosis is the practical way to do it and you can find more on how to Stop Smoking With Hypnosis at my website.

Quit Smoking - The Fake Smoking Mirage

2006-11-15T13:32:00.000-08:00

The Hidden Enemy

If you are a smoker, you are probably already aware that your life is conditioned by your smoking habits. And as with any other habit, you are probably finding hard to quit.

Quitting any habit requires time, exercise and willpower; furthermore, you have to win the hidden enemy: the desire to continue with your beloved habit.

How does this work? Well, trying to quit will expose you to two big temptations…

The First Temptation: Relax After Withdrawal

If you persist in your quit smoking purpose, you’ll experience soon withdrawal symptoms.

These symptoms may not last long, but they will get enough of your resources to let you exhausted. This will make you restless and exasperated and will trigger your desire to be calm again.

The Trap

Of course your mind will address you towards your cigarettes, just to feel at ease. Well, you will feel at ease if you smoke, and this will trigger the trap: you’ll think that trying to quit smoking has a negative effect on you and smoking is going to restore your feeling of control.

The trap is now done: you increase your psychological dependence on smoking, and your next trial will be harder.

The Second Temptation: Easiness After Failure

After a few of such kind of experiences, you’ll start thinking that smoking is helping your survival. At this stage you start to develop excuses to retain it.

The point is that you find so hard to quit that you find much easier to not quit. If you start failing in your purpose to quit smoking, you are going to build a few reasons to have the easy road taken instead of the difficult one.

In a short time you are going to surround yourself of some excuses to not quit.

The Vicious Amplifier

Nicotine will be this temptation amplifier. It will act as the vicious circle engine. As any addictive drug, you’ll have to get more to experience the same level of effects of the previous time.

You’ll have to smoke more to have the same relief you got the first time smoking after the first or the second temptation.

The game is now complete: nicotine will hold you in such a way that you’ll begin craving for more and more of your dose.

Your Ally

If you are trapped in these games, the simple way is to use your resources to come out from the same game.

Taking with your subconscious mind is one of the best effective ways. Discover how to Stop Smoking With Your Mind at my website.

Your Willpower can save your Life

2006-11-11T13:21:00.000-08:00

Smokers do want to quit smoking and they are waiting for that auspicious day eagerly.

But still quitting the smoking becomes impossible for them. They do try but again got caught in the same grip of an addiction. They want to get succeed but again find themselves standing on the same point from where they have started their journey for a good cause.

This does not happen with one or two smoker. It is a case with every other smoker. They are trying hard to quit it but are not capable because of the love for nicotine.

Nicotine is a deadly drug but its addiction is very powerful. The fortunate thing is that thousands of people are successfully trying to escape its grip and many have already succeeded. They are same people who once have thought that they would not be able to quit. Finally they won over evil and turned their dream into the reality. Their determination has worked for them.....

Stop Smoking With Hypnosis - To Smokers Who Have Had a Bad Time With Nicotine Replacement Pills

2006-09-22T10:11:00.000-07:00

There are currently many ways to quit smoking, or at least to start the quit smoking process. Two mainstream approaches are based on getting some relief and making your life easier: using nicotine replacement pills and going for hypnosis. If you had a bad time with nicotine replacement pills, you can find here how a completely different approach based upon hypnosis could give you another chance.

The quit smoking pill trap

A standard approach to quit smoking will have usually some benefits, but carries the risk of starting to smoke again. One of the psychological reasons for this is that your mind can’t easily let go the need of help or fulfillment that comes from taking pills or having a cigarette. This will often retrigger the desire of smoking and your risk of restarting again will be high.

Many kind of medical replacement are going to help your withdrawal symptoms just giving you some nicotine in the healing. This is true for example for quit smoking pills. Of course this won’t completely help if your aim is to recover a completely health body free from any kind of toxins.

The inner working of hypnosis

Hypnosis therapy acts at a different level. It acts at this psychological level and changes the pulse of the smoker towards smoking.

You can understand that when you are no more looking subconsciously for some kind of “fulfillment toy” (be it a patch, a pill or your cigarette), quit smoking will be much easier. You’ll have finally a chance to never take up your bad smoking habit again.

Lasting, easier and faster

According to statistics, smokers who will try to stop smoking with hypnosis will change their mindset to wanting to be a non smoker in at least 70% of times. This is not true for nicotine replacement pill, where the result is about 50% of the times. This is in line with what we said before about the psychological replacement role of pills (you are still trying to smoke, just in a different way).

Also hypnosis will help you to get fast results. Acting at a very inner level, you could be experiencing an astonishing recover if compared with quit smoking pills or medications. Some methods will make you free in an hour instead of the many weeks a pill based therapy could require.

Also don’t forget that in many countries you can deduct the cost of your quit smoking therapy from taxes (they can be added to the medical expenses), while this is not true for pills.

So give a trial to hypnosis and you’ll make your quit smoking quest much easier.

How The Three Glass Jars Game Will Help You To Quit Smoking

2006-08-31T22:23:00.000-07:00

What have three glass jars and your quit smoking goal in common? Let’s see how a few quit smoking tips based on the three jars game can help you succeed...

1) Take three glass jars and fill one of them with water.

2) Every time you smoke a cigarette put the butt to the jar with water.

3) Then put the cost of your cigarette in the second jar.

4) Every time you smoke, see how much cigarettes you have already smoked (they’re in the first jar), their impact on your money (it’s in the second jar).

5) Smoke every few days one cigarette less.

Every time you get rid of a cigarette you would have liked to smoke, put in the third jar. Then….

6) In your free time focus on the advantages after quitting cigarette, while looking at the third jar. Look at the butts in the first jar and consider that each of them is increasing considerably:

a. Your risk to get heart disease, cancer and other deadly diseases;
b. Being tired up more easily (if you quit smoking, you’ll have more energy).
c. Your bad resistance from cough, cold and flu.
d. The quantity of carbon monoxide in your blood, that decreases the quantity of oxygen.

7) Likewise, look at the third jar and count all those cigarettes you have decided to leave out of your lungs. For each one of those cigarettes you have right now:

a. A considerable increment of oxygen in your blood.
b. More glow at your face and your skin is more pink
c. Your heartbeat is be more regular and nearer to the ordinary range.
d. Your lungs are clearer.

Quitting smoking has much more advantages than smoking and your “un-smoked” jar is reminding you how much health you have recovered. We are in fact measuring your health in… cigarettes.

8) Count your money savings in the money jar (the third one) each and every week.

Just see how quickly this amount is increasing. Compute also your monthly savings.

9) Finally reward yourself when you win

Now, you have acquired your destination. It is the time to reward you for your achievement. Get the money glass jar and you will be amazed to find the amount of money you have saved.

These quit smoking tips can help you to stay focused on your goal. Quit smoking is just a discipline act and keeping your mind on track. You can find further quit smoking tips at my website.

The three jars game will keep you focused. Start organizing your resources, get momentum and finally start quitting smoke.

How two psychological traps prevent you from quit smoking

2006-08-07T23:57:00.000-07:00

Even if many people are well aware of disadvantages that are caused by smoking, the vast majority of them aren’t able to give up the habit and quit smoking.

Studies show that reason behind this is the myth of addictions. Smokers are overestimating the power of addictions, so they aren’t able to quit smoking.
Put another way, smokers think that nicotine is not allowing them to quit smoking.

This is the trap and adds laziness to your quit smoking trials. This is what gives real power to the physiological addiction: you think your addiction has more power than you, so you try to resist weakly, so you fail, so you have confirmed that nicotine addiction is powerful, so you can’t do anything against it, so you can continue smoking. Then you restart this cycle with more evidence that you are addicted to nicotine and you can’t do anything against it.

So you continue smoking and develop (what you think is) a pleasant habit. Soon you’ll need to smoke to satisfy your habit. As every other habit, it has its own environmental triggers that activate your smoking desire (after meal? At the phone? In a coffee break?).

So the two psychological traps that prevent you from quit smoking are:

Thinking your nicotine addiction can’t be beaten.
The pleasure habit you develop smoking.

These traps merged with the physiological increasing addiction, make your quit smoking trial weaker and weaker.

Thus smoking is more a problem of mind than is of body. It is not an easy habit to get rid of but the good news is that studies show that quitting smoking is an easy task with modern therapies. For example hypnotherapy is an effective mean that can help you to quit smoking easily.

To start you have to drop your nicotine addiction belief and then drop the habit.

To drop your nicotine addiction belief, just consider what we have said before and grasp that it’s true.

Quitting habit is much difficult than quitting anything else. You can start organizing your resources and do something about it.

You need to act in a cohesive manner. Behaving in a new way in a consistent manner will, as you guess, develop a new habit. The more you apply it, the more the old habit will weaken. At the start it will be quite hard, as only your effort will sustain you. But in a while your new habit will support you. So it will become easier and easier the more you go.

So, get all the help you can and start. My free Quit Smoking Special Report available by sending a blank mail to QuitSmoking-155@nicheresponder.com and at my quit smoking website is going to help you to Leverage your 5 Resources to Quit Smoking.

Quit Smoking Lozenges – The Secret to Quit Smoking is Simply Using the Right Supports

2006-08-05T09:03:00.000-07:00

Stop smoking is a difficult task. You are going to encounter any kind of psychological and physical discomfort and this will make you more and more uncomfortable until your decision weakens and you finally restart smoking.

These discomforts can be lightened recurring to appropriate quit smoking products. Quit smoking lozenges are one of such products and a very popular one for many reasons.

A reliable quit smoking product has to satisfy all the following:

It must be easy to carry with you; quit smoking lozenges are OK as they are in the form of a small candy.
It must deal with the nicotine addiction symptoms (nervousness, anxiety, sweating, headaches, depression, etc) that make smoking cessation an impossible task for many smokers. Quit smoking lozenges can help you with these.

Soon after you start taking the quit smoking lozenges you will discover that your cigarette desire diminishes and so does the nicotine addiction.
It has to reduce the withdrawal symptoms and especially the cravings. The use of quit smoking lozenges will in fact reduce the cravings (which are may be the hardest part of all).
It must help you if you are a fast early-day smoker (i.e. you wake up in the morning and then you light up your first cigarette in less than half an hour); quit smoking lozenges are particularly good for these people as most lozenges come in various forms depending on this time-factor.
Should possibly give you a way to avoid undesired quit smoking effects that are threatening your success. I’m referring especially to weight gain, a typical ex-smokers problem that tends to prevent women to stop smoking. Quit smoking lozenges are helping you also with this issue, as they will not only keep your mouth busy, but they will reduce your appetite.
Should be easy to access and buy. The most popular quit smoking lozenges are available at most of the drug stores and in many online shops including Amazon. You can find online promotions to save some money and auxiliary services and support to help you quit smoking.

So quit smoking lozenges are a very good product that supports your quit smoking efforts. You can find a review of other popular quit smoking products at my quit smoking website.

As usual, remember that quit smoking lozenges (as any other quit smoking products) can help only if you want to match your quit smoking desire with engagement and a change in behaviour. The quick version of this is: “Just decide to stop smoking, do it and stick to it”. Maybe your first week will be terrible but if you survive without your cigarettes, you will discover that it is really not that hard to stop smoking.
