If you are trying to quit smoking, you know how hard it is to break this injurious habit. It is possible however, and half of all adult smokers quit smoking forever. Many smokers succeed in quitting smoking cigarettes by replacing them with different, positive habits without having to suffer through withdrawal symptoms. By far, the most effective and easiest method to quit smoking and accomplish this end is stop smoking self-hypnosis.
Hypnotherapy for smoking cessation is one of the most commonly practiced forms of hypnosis. It is often cited as a tool to quit smoking along with strategies such as the use of nicotine patches or gums and other popular means. It helps to end the smoking addiction by combating cravings for cigarettes, keeping you committed to quitting, and promoting stress relief and relaxation so you will not be tempted to smoke.
The smoking addiction contains both psychological and physiological components. The physiological addiction is a physical addiction the body acquires for nicotine. This aspect of the addiction causes the withdrawal symptoms that make it initially feel near impossible to quit smoking. However, this is a short, temporary phase in the overall progression of quitting the habit, which lasts only between three days and one week. By the end of this period, your body adjusts to regular, nicotine-free functioning. Based on thirty years of experience, I believe that the physical need for nicotine constitutes a mere ten percent of the smoking addiction.
By far, the most challenging part of quitting smoking is overcoming the psychological addiction, which are the mental and emotional aspects of smoking. I believe this makes up ninety percent of the cigarette addiction. When you develop a smoking habit, you unconsciously develop a desire to smoke at certain times, such as every morning after breakfast. This is called a conditioned response. Quit smoking self-hypnosis helps eliminate the unconscious relationships that cause one to crave cigarettes, thereby eliminating the conditioned urge to smoke. Hypnotherapy also helps you stay motivated to give up smoking by reinforcing your beliefs that gave you the wish to break the smoking habit in the first place.
Smokers get stuck impulsively lighting up and smoking. This is why many people who attempt to quit smoking using nicotine gums or patches alone have such a difficult experience. They quickly overcome the physiological addiction, but they have no relief or replacement for the ritual of smoking, which has become a habit and comforting source of stress relief. Self hypnosis techniques eliminate this mental addiction and serve as stress reducers as well. As a relaxation tool, hypnosis helps effectively relieve anxiety and stress so you will lose the desire to smoke cigarettes.
By adding some effective NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) techniques, stop smoking self-hypnosis can keep you motivated to kicking the habit by training the unconscious mind to focus on the benefits of quitting. Eliminating tobacco benefits you in many ways. Within days of quitting, body parts damaged by smoking begin to heal, damaged nerves re-grow, and your sense of taste and smell improves significantly. Within a few weeks, blood circulation and lung function improve. Within one year, your risk of heart disease is less than half that of a smoker. Within five to fifteen years, your risk of having a stroke is the same as a non-smoker. Your risk of heart disease is the same as someone who has never smoked at all, and the risk of dying from lung cancer and a number of other cancer risks have decreased.
Despite the dangers of smoking and the health benefits of quitting, some smokers never overcome their addiction. For the most part, this is because they have never really committed to quitting. Other smokers are often afraid to suffer from withdrawal symptoms or let go of the smoking habit. Quitting smoking does not have to be the difficult process that makes so many smokers unwilling to even attempt quitting. Hypnosis acts as a very simple, natural method of quitting.
Hypnosis is an effective tool for crushing cravings for cigarettes, providing powerful motivation, and promoting relaxation and stress relief to completely eliminate the psychological component of the smoking habit. Stop smoking hypnotherapy techniques can be easily learned from specialized self-hypnosis programs that have been developed after decades of experience using hypnosis, NLP, and Neuro-VISION video hypnotherapy to help clients kick the cigarette addiction.
Stop smoking hypnosis programs make it easy to quit smoking permanently because they break the smoking habit in a process that helps extinguish cravings and the desire to smoke. Whatever your motivation is for breaking the habit, hypnosis programs makes it easier to focus your mind on these reasons, which makes you feel a strong urge to quit. Stop smoking hypnotherapy programs eliminate the conditioned urge to smoke. Even though quitting smoking can be a painful and unsuccessful endeavor for some, those who take advantage of self hypnosis programs have a far greater percentage of success because it makes the process a ’slam-dunk’. It is the most effective method for smoke cessation.
