quitting smoking tips

  • search the web for images that shows you exactly what does a lung having lung cancer looks like, print the photo and put it everywhere at your home, and see how will you get motivated to quit. note that this sounds really weird but that's if you are really serious, if you are not then don't bother reading further
  • make a list of all smoking health effects and print it then put it beside your computer, beside your favorite chair, and above your bed.
  • contrary to common belief, picking a day where every thing is good to start quitting is incorrect, you should pick one of the worst days you have in your life and start at it, simply because when you are happy and having no problems your will power will be at its peak, and then when something goes wrong your will power may shake , that's why lots of people quit and as soon as a new problem appears they do return back. if you did quit while your mood was at its lowest level then nothing else can shake your will because it can't be weaker than it was on that day you did quit at.
  • break the anchors, usually smoking is anchored to something else in your mind, like certain places or certain times, try to smoke at different situations and different places instead of your usual ones, that means that if you are used to smoke just after having launch, never do that and instead smoke some other time. by doing this you are breaking the relation between smoking and other external factors .
  • create a new anchor that is really awful and associate it with smoking. there was once a company that wanted employees to quit smoking at work, so it made the smoking area centered in the company while having glass walls, everyone who wanted to smoke had to sit into that small area while the smell was awful and in addition everyone passing by used to look at them through the glass as if they were test subjects. few weeks later lots of people did quit smoking at the company premises. you too can do so, only smoke at the worst places ever, only smoke when your mood is down, never smoke while you are happy or while you are at good place or even when having a good company of friends.one of the most effective things you can do is get the same image you downloaded from the web (the lung cancer one) and put it in your wallet, and then keep watching it everytime you smoke
  • know that some people do quit on the first try, some on the fifth, some on the tenth, so don't give up trying and you will do it
  • developing self disciplineis another thing that may help you to quit smoking, by making you able to resist the emotions that leads you to smoke, developing self discipline is learning how to reach your goals with disregard to your feelings or emotions.
  • if all of the previous methods failed you can use hypnosis to quit smoking,hypnosis is one of the very powerful methods for quitting smoking,most people stop smoking on the first hypnosis session and never return back again!!

Hidden Bad habits

Other than the well known bad habits we all know of, there are other hidden habits that are really bad and are sometimes worse than these common habits. Waking up late, wasting time, losing our temper and even failing to get over someone are examples of bad habits that skip unnoticed. in my book How to get over anyone in few days i described how some people developed the habit of becoming broken after a breakup instead of recovering.

These bad habits are really dangerous because usually people doesn't warn us of them thinking that they are not bad habits, but in fact, some of these habits may have a bigger impact on your life than other popular bad habits.
