What fears do you have about stopping smoking?
- how will I deal with my stress
- what will I do with my hands
- I’ll have no confidence with cigarettes
- It gives me something to do
- I’ll put on weight
- I won’t be able to deal with the cravings and irritability.
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!
