Why do I smoke? Give this question some thought!
To get you started, we have hear "I smoke when I":
Did you know that nicotine is a stimulant not a sedative? It will not relieve stress. Deep breathing, however, is proven to reduce stress, plus many other benefits.
We have many misconceptions around smoking and its personal “benefits”.
Nicotine is highly addictive, but dependency is only low to moderate with nicotine. If it were only the addiction keeping us from being a non-smoker, a nicotine patch or some other form of nicotine source would be sufficient to see us through quitting cigarette smoking.
A nicotine supplement helps with the addiction portion of smoking but habit, yes habit is the behaviour that needs to be addressed to see our plan through to fruition. Habit is the biggest stumbling block to a life as a non-smoker.
We are creatures of habit, and we do many things throughout the day on auto pilot because we have done these things every day for most of our lives. Some habits are very constructive: eating regularly, brushing our teeth, hydrating regularly, working out daily, meditating and the list goes on.
Fear of illness or death from smoking, smoking now being socially unacceptable, or the cost of smoking breaking the bank is not enough to force us to quite smoking or there would not be smokers. We have repeatedly heard every reason in the book to quite smoking, so we are not going to relist them here. You already know the benefits of being smoke free.
Are you ready to be a non-smoker? Let us address your habitual need to smoke. With knowledge and understanding we can give you tools to constructively carry out your smoke free plan.
When you reach for a cigarette due to your own personal reasons or trigger, you will find that the reason or trigger still exists after the cigarette. I can hear you arguing that you are much less stressed after having a cigarette. Remember my earlier statement? Deep breathing is proven to reduce stress……not cigarettes.
Enhancing Perceptions can plant seeds that, if nurtured, can give you back control to incorporate new patterns of behaviour that may actually eliminate your reasons or triggers.
