When you have decided to stop smoking, look forward to the day of seeing your hypnotherapist to begin your new life free from cigarettes. When you stop smoking, did you know that the nicotine has left your body in 48 hours? So, for those of you who have tried to go cold turkey and let the irritability and cravings return you to the cigarettes, this is the proof that it is your mind that wants the cigarettes, the nicotine is gone after 48 hours so there is no physical need for a cigarette. When you smoking a number of physical things can happen - your absorption rate of Vitamin C is decreased. So in the first few days when you stop smoking, you need to increase your Vitamin C intake either by having a least 3 oranges or pinkgrapefruits a day (or take Rubex - an effervescent tablet that dissolves in water, it is the equivalent of 6 oranges). Smoking increases the stress response in the body but you may feel smoking helped you to relax - take a Vitamin B complex which eases the nervous system. Make an effort to be out to get some Vitamin D from the sun (I know, what sun - if you’re in Ireland).
And the best tonic of all - water - drink plenty of it for flush out all the toxins and rejuvenate the cells of the body.
Finally, remember the great reasons for stopping smoking and be proud of what you have achieved. Listen to your CD to help you remain and stay free from smoking.

Hypnotic CDs and MP3s can be very effective for some people to stop smoking and my own MP3 have been successful. However, you do increase the likelihood of staying a non smoker forever if you visit or indeed have a personalised CD recorded for you. In a session we are looking for the habitual patterns of smoking i.e. when you automatically reach for a cigarette and are smoking before you realise what’s happening. On questioning you can find out your triggers for smoking and finds alternate ways of which are more positive for you. You needs and reasons for wanting to stop smoking will not be the same as anyone else. So the personalised CD is for your specific needs. Buying a generic CD/MP3 will be tailored to overall reasons that the hypnotherapist has come across in their experience and will be beneficial for habit smokers but if you feel stress is an issue then consider seeing a hypnotherapist face to face.

Have you ever noticed that your mood affects how you view things? If you are feeling happy then everything has a positive slant, you can even see something positive from something negative. If, however, you are in a low mood (not depressed) but not feeling on top of things, then the universe seems to put more and more obstacles in your way. Thoughts like “typical, it always happens to me”, “serves me right for doing I was doing something right” will not improve your mood or lift your spirits. Hypnotherapy helps you become aware of the power of your thoughts and your self thoughts. If you don’t feel good about yourself, that comes across in your tone of voice, how you hold yourself. For others, you can put on “a front”, the energy expended not being true to yourself is unreal and they end up feeling worn out and burnt physically and mentally.
When you hear the little voice instead your head telling you that you’re not good enough or who did you think you are - hypnotherapy and NLP can help you create a STOP sign in your mind so that you can silence the voice and change the thoughts have held you back.
You can change the thoughts and the little voice that holds you back - so make the change, make the appointment and email me at zita@zitastanley.com or call 086 1038892. I am always happy to take your call and if distance is a problem, then online therapy using Skype is an alternative way of communicating.
Also email me if you would like a personalised CD/MP3 - you will need to fill out a questionnaire and I record an MP3/CD for you.
What fears do you have about stopping smoking?
Anything familiar? Add whatever else you need to with regard to your fears.
All of these are valid fears - smoking will (if you’re in your 30s) be the most consistent and reliable thing in your life. It will be like losing a friend and for the more chronic smokers (30+ a day) they will, of course be a grieving period. You cannot underestimate the relationship you have had with cigarettes.
But it can change, you can lear a more positive way of dealing with stress, build confidence, deal with your food issues - because the cigarettes do not actually make you the life and soul of the party, relax you or give you something to do - you control you. You can learn to use your time more productively.
To finish with, remember fear is an acronym for:
False Expectations Appearing Real
So why not belief in yourself and use hypnosis to help you overcome the habit of smoking for ever!

In a typical stop smoking with hypnosis - one of the questions I ask is:
“what benefit do you get from smoking?”
EVERYONE answers “none”. But there must be some benefit otherwise you wouldn’t smoke. While in a deeper trance, I ask the question again - responses will vary from “it helps me with stress”, “I feel more confident with a cigarette in my hand”, “it stops me getting fat”. With these answers, the client is recognising the benefit cigarettes and smoking has been giving them. With all hypnosis, the wonderful side effect is relaxation, it will be the only time your mind and body will relax totally. Suggestions on deep breathing and visualisation techniques on stress reducing or stress proving the client’s life will be added or confidence building techniques. With regards to the weight - again we do not substitute one oral habit with another, we look at why the client may think they will gain weight if they stop smoking.
In a stop smoking with hypnosis session, the more exploration into the client’s fears of stopping smoking is done, the better the result.
Then we move into the future pacing stage, seeing yourself free from cigarettes, you are a non-smoker and you look and feel great. You are so proud that you have regained control of your habits and have taken responsibility to remaining and staying a non-smoker. (Hypnotherapists prefer the term “smokefree” - the positive of non-smoker).
With an image of how you want and desire to be free from cigarettes, a image begins to form inside your mind, just a like a photograph developing, darker at first and then images become more clear until it is so bright and full of colour that you can feel that excitement of having lovely skin, smelling nice, feeling so proud of yourself. Get that image forming now you are full of energy, breathing is easier, you look great and feel fantastic.
Don’t you deserve this image of yourself? To stop smoking now call me on 086 1038892. Upper Baggot Street and Portlaoise.
Using hypnosis to stop smoking can identify that part of you that has sabotaged your efforts in the past. Your subconscious mind works for your benefit and will not relinquish a habit unless the underlying need it serves is met with an alternative more beneficial substitute is offered. This is the re-programming aspect of hypnosis and NLP to help you remain and stay free of cigarettes so that you stop smoking forever.
So, you must want to stop smoking for yourself. We look at how smoking has “helped” you in your past and devise new coping strategies for, say, stress (if you feel smoking relaxes you - it doesn’t by the way it actually increases the stress cycle going on in your body). So that you are armed with new techniques to help you in the future, where before you reached for a cigarette. Stop smoking with hypnosis is a pleasant experience and the emphasis is how wonderful it will be for you to finally kick the habit for good.

With the past it is not the event itself that triggers the unwanted response/habit, it is the meaning we attribute to the event that gives it significance. for example, when I think of my grandmother, I’m immediately transported to the smell of freshly baked bread and I’m in her kitchen, remembering the love and warmth of it - not the actual technique of making the bread! When you can see the difference, that’s when we get change happening.
I’ll leave with a quote that I have used before:
“if you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you always got”.

You know that you can have insight and be logical about your problem but it doesn’t seem to make any difference to the blushing, anxiety, stress with attempts to stop smoking, lose weight etc. Why? Because we reason with the logical part of the mind, the left side, and where is the hurt that prompted the problem in the first place - it’s in your subconscious mind! The only way to access your subconscious mind is with the use of hypnosis. Hypnosis is a deep relaxation where you are fully aware but are just so relaxed you keep you eyes closed. When in this relaxed state, the subconscious mind will offer up its secrets to the conscious level and in therapy, this can help you to overcome your problem - we find the cause and make it lose its effect! For suggestion therapy, for stop smoking, wart removal or any of the more habit problems, when you are relaxed, suggestions are offered to the subconscious about new ways of looking at what used to be a problem for you.
Only your subconscious mind knows what caused the problem in the first place and only your subconscious mind can make the change. But it is not a magic pill or cure. It is about empowering you. Internal acceptance and validation help you to become the person you really want to be. There is no dependant relationship with me. Solution focused therapy is the method I use so that you are in therapy for the shortest time possible maximum 12 weeks. That is because we start with your goal and work towards it whether it is to feel relaxed in social situations, relaxed being a non smoker, more confident and assertive - with hypnosis you can your own magic happen and it is a tool for life.
Call me to overcome any unwanted habit or to stop the cycle of anxiety which begets more anxiety so that you are going round and round. Be free from your problem, you have the power within you and I can help you access it.

Hypnotherapists do not “rescue” you from whatever problem you have whether it is anxiety, smoking, nail biting etc. Your hypnotherapist helps you to discover or learn more resourceful ways of thinking, behaving, acting, responding so that you are empowered. It is only with finding these resources from within will you ever truly overcome your problem.
So whatever emotional upset or habit you want to break, let me be your guide and call me on 086 1038892 now.
