HEALTH (QUIT SMOKING TECHNIQUES)

HARSHRAJ04
One of the first techniques that I recommend to my client's who want to quit smoking, is to begin visualizing themselves as a non-smoker. Creative Visualization is a technique where you imagine or think about yourself as you want to be. It's like replaying a mental movie about you successfully achieving your goal. Using the power of Creative Visualization will help mentally prepare you to become a non-smoker.
Creative Visualization steps:
1. Center yourself
With your eyes closed, take a moment to center yourself by taking a few deep breaths while becoming aware of your surroundings (What are you sitting or standing on? What color is it? How is your body touching the earth? Can you feel your heartbeat? What sounds can you hear?).
2. Start visualizing
Think about where you are at this moment. This is where you will begin your one minute visualization. (How much are you smoking per day? How confident and motivated are you?).
3. Enjoy a benefit
Quickly move past your quit date, and create a mental picture of a moment in your first days/weeks as a non-smoker enjoying one of the ways you are going to benefit. (If being healthier is one of your benefits, you can imagine what it's going to be like to breath fresh air into your lungs).
4. Bring in details
Enhance your visualization by bringing in more details into your mental movie. (Where are you? What are you doing? What are you wearing? Notice your surroundings, Who else is there?).
5. Bring in all your senses
Bring all your senses into your visualization.(What else do you see in the scene? What sounds do you hear? What emotions are you feeling? What do you smell and taste?).
6. Positive affirmations
Give yourself positive affirmations throughout your visualization. (I am a calm, healthy, and happy non-smoker).
7. Visualize each day
Repeat your one minute visualizations at least two times each day. Visualize yourself in different situations enjoying one or multiple benefits at the same time, always imagining yourself how you would like to be as a non-smoker. You may visualize yourself as if you were watching yourself on a movie screen or from the perspective of looking out of your own eyes. The ideal time to begin visualizing is as soon as you think you want to quit smoking.

Using subliminal messages as a tool to help you quit smoking is an excellent idea if you have been struggling with a nicotine addiction, and need an extra boost to make that nasty habit disappear from your life. Subliminal messages can’t make you quit, but they can help you reach a point where your willpower becomes stronger than your addiction.
Tools to Stop Smoking
When you are trying to quit smoking, you will probably use several different tools to help you. For example, you may want to start using nicotine gum or even hard candies as a diversion for the physical craving for nicotine. Since smoking is a multi-dimensional addiction, however, these tools may not give you what you need to overcome the addiction.
Smoking is also a mental addiction, and one that quickly become part of your normal routine. You may find that, at least in the first few weeks, you constantly need to do something with your hands. You can use many different tools, including subliminal messages, to help you overcome these psychological and physiological addictions.
Using Subliminal Messages
Like other tools that you use to help you stop smoking, subliminal messages do not control you. You must want to stop smoking, and do everything that you can to resist the temptation to smoke even if you are using subliminal messages as a tool to help you quit.
Many people still hold the common misconception that subliminal messages are a form of mind control that will make you follow the suggestions without your consent. The truth is that subliminal messages are simply suggestions that are subconscious, so that you are better prepared to deal with temptation when it does strike.
Quitting smokingis the number one thing that you can do to improve your health

, and subliminal messages are a wonderful tool to use to help you.
