Advice from a Stop Smoking Hypnotist-Quit Smoking and Do This Instead

Do you want to quit smoking and kick the bad habit forever? George Bernard Shaw – the great English dramatist had once jocularly remarked that quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world. He had, after all, quit smoking several times in his lifetime. He’s not alone. Most smokers do try several times before they finally quit.

Breaking free of your urge to smoke isn’t as difficult as you think or people make it out to be. Believe me, this is the advice of stop smoking hypnotist. I broke free after 37 years with one stop smoking hypnosis session. Breaking any habit takes approximately 21 days and involves creating some new healthy habits.

So the next time you feel the urge to puff on a cigarette, create a new habit instead. Here are several simple habits you create to replace your smoking habit.

Drink a glass of water

Instead of giving into smoking, why don’t you drink a glass of water?

Breathe Deeply

Whenever you feel the urge, just close your eyes and take 3 deep breaths, and feel your urge melt away.

Send a text

Next time you reach your hands towards your cigarette pack, change directions and move your hand toward your mobile phone and send a text message instead. It will distract your mind.

Distracting your mind with other activities can help you break the habit. So, the next time you want to puff away, why don’t you walk around the block, call a friend, floss your teeth, hug your spouse, light a candle, turn on the radio, ride a bike, hug your pet, or take a nap instead.

Chew sugarless gum

If you can replace the urge to smoke with something harmless or even beneficial, then you will be satisfying your urge without experiencing the negative impact of nicotine or gaining weight. You can chew on sugarless gum or better still try chewing on mint sticks, mint leaves or cloves.

There are sugarless gums available in a variety of flavors and which are shaped just like cigarettes. Not a bad idea to chew on these instead, is it?

Listen to a hypnosis CD

Take advice from a stop smoking hypnotist (who quit smoking with hypnosis) and listen to a hypnosis CD. Studies demonstrate that hypnosis methods can successfully help you quit smoking forever.

Chew on a toothpick

And last but not the least; you can indulge in the luxury of chewing on a cinnamon flavored toothpick to kick the habit of smoking.
