STOP SMOKING THROUGH HYPNOSIS

At Premier Life Coaching, we have helped people to change the manner in which they perceive everything around them and overcome their smoking addiction.

The process of quitting smoking is difficult, but you can be successful. Your mind will be the key to you achieving your goal. You have to begin believing that you dislike cigarettes and what they do to you. This may require you to rewire the way in which you think about smoking.

Neuro-linguistic programming helps you to quit smoking by helping to change your thoughts, behaviors, and reactions. It is a therapeutic model that was developed in the 1970s. NLP practitioners identify the unconscious thoughts that lead you to smoke and helps you to change the way that you think and react to cravings, triggers, and withdrawal issues. NLP is an alternative therapeutic approach that helps you to become a more effective communicator and to change your patterns of emotional and mental behavior.

NLP Techniques to Quit Smoking

Smoking Hypnosis introduces a method called anchoring. Under this approach, you start by thinking about specific times that led you to want to quit smoking. For example, if you became very sick with bronchitis because of your smoking, you can think about the way in which you felt. You will then want to visualize this experience and amplify the memories of it in your mind.

An anchor is a physical action that can bring back the memory that you have chosen. You might try something like pushing your fingernail into your palm or some other physical act that is mildly painful but not overwhelming.

You can then reinforce the negative anchor that you have created. Every time you feel an urge to smoke, press your nail into your palm while thinking about the memory of the time that you wanted to quit. The images or memories that you choose will be specific to you.

Why is it so Hard to Quit Smoking?

Smoking is not just a habit. It is also an addiction. The habit portion of smoking is something that you have grown used to doing at specific times and in specific situations. In addition, nicotine, which is found in tobacco, is very addictive. When people stop smoking, they may undergo the following withdrawal symptoms:

Flu-like symptoms

Difficulty sleeping

Irritability

Cravings

Fatigue

Cough

 

When you experience a craving to smoke, you may have little willpower to resist the urge. Each time that you smoke a cigarette, you place yourself back inside of the never-ending process of attempting to quit smoking.
