Break The Habit – With Self Hypnosis Your Smoking Will Stop
Lung cancer, coronary heart disease, gum disease and stomach cancer – all these are possibilities if you continue to smoke. The list of health problems related to smoking is lengthy. The result is painful. Severe impairment and even death are the possible results of this habit. Yet, every day people like you continue to smoke. They may try to quit, but nothing seems to work.
You may really want to stop smoking. Your heart says yes. Your mind seems to agree, but you blame the addictive habit. Your friends and colleagues sympathise but many may believe you just lack the will power. Sure, they know it is an addiction, but they think you just are unable to do it.
To a certain extent, your friends and colleagues are right. You do lack something. You say you want to quit and you do mean it. Yet, your conviction has not filtered down deep into your subconscious. Your mind does not really want to let go.
Using nicotine gum is not going to make you a non-smoker. Talking to your doctor will not help you be successful. What you need is to learn about self-hypnosis. The smoking will stop when you use this method.
Defining Self-Hypnosis
Hypnosis is the use of the power of suggestion on your subconscious. Self-hypnosis is the same process. Otherwise known as autosuggestion, self hypnosis is everything hypnosis. The difference is the dynamics. To be hypnotised, you require another person. To self-hypnotise, you only need yourself. In other words, self-hypnotism is a simplification of the process.
Self-hypnosis is comparable to meditation. It is a trance-like state of mind and being. You reach it easily without letting go control of your active or waking mind. In fact, you need to be aware, to process the necessary words into your subconscious. What you are doing is conditioning your mind to a new way of thinking about smoking. You are retraining or reprogramming it to abandon its perception of the old habit of smoking. In its place is the very real description of you as a non-smoker.
Self-Hypnosis and Visualisation
The key to the success of your self-hypnosis session relies on you knowing visualisation. This is a simple but effective means of directing your goal or goals in the right direction. It is fairly easy to teach yourself to visualise. You can see what you want to see and hear what you want to hear to achieve the goal of non-smoking.
To accomplish this, you need to empower yourself through words. You need to create a script of goal-directed words. These words and phrases help to create a picture in your mind. They filter down to your subconscious and rewrite the current script. They replace the image of you as a smoker with that of your goal. It is all part of a movement towards your decision to be a non-smoker becoming a reality.
In order to reach this goal, you need to make sure the language is appropriate. You must first incorporate into your visualization the negative aspects of smoking. You need to implant into your subconscious the very real difference between what is now and what will become now. See in your mind’s eye the ill-effects of smoking. Paint a portrait of how horrible smoking is. Make it very real using strong language. It should conjure up images of bad air, poor health, feeling sick and other ghastly images associated with smoking. You must make it clear to your inner self how awful smoking truly is.
The next step is to replace these images with a positive vision of non-smoking. The words you use must be active and positive. Try to use statements that are made using the present or very near future. Consider “I am a non-smoker”; or “Today I am quitting smoking.” Empower yourself with a vision of life without smoking. Combine these statements with images of you walking in pleasant places free of all smoke. You will breathe in fresh air. You will feel free, healthy, happy and very much alive. In this manner, you will remove the positive image of smoking habitually with the definite belief you are a non-smoker.
Visualization is the ideal tool to use with self-hypnosis. You will be able to escape your habit. While it may take time to accomplish this, through persevering in your use of self hypnosis smoking will stop. You will be able to enjoy life and live it without fear of the ghost of cigarettes past.
