Follow These Stop Smoking Tips And Make This Attempt To Stop Smoking Permanent

If you are reading this article and are really serious about putting an end to your

smoking habit then you may find these stop smoking tips extremely useful.

1. Grab your diary and pick a date in which you are going to stop smoking. Then tell at least three people that on this date you are going to be a non-smoker. Hold yourself accountable.

2. On a sheet of paper write down all of your reasons why you want to stop smoking. When you do this it is important that you state these reasons positively because your mind will always give you what you focus on. This is very similar to what would happen if I asked you not to start thinking of blue, by trying not to think about blue makes you think about it. For example:

Negative Reasons: "I don't want my clothes smelling of cigarettes". "I don't want to get ill".

Positive Reasons: "I want my clothes to smell clean and fresh". "I want to stay healthy".

3. Read through the positive reasons why you want to be a non-smoker daily and imagine having these benefits in you life now. This exercise will help you to do this.

Find a nice quiet place where you can relax, close your eyes and take a deep breath in. As you slowly exhale mentally say the word relax and imagine a wonderful wave of relaxation washing over your entire body. Repeat this process until you feel relaxed and then mentally say this suggestion to yourself;

"I am a non-smoker and I am going to remain a non-smoker for the rest of my life"

Once you have said the suggestion, imagine yourself in a situation feeling the benefits of this positive change. So if one of your reasons for stopping smoking is to save money you could imagine putting the money that you used to spend on cigarettes into a jar which is full.

Once you have played out this mental image inside your mind you would then repeat the suggestion to yourself again and create a new mental image. Once you have gone through all of your positive benefits you will then count upwards from 1 to 3 and open your eyes.

4. Don't tell yourself that stopping smoking is tough because doing that only makes quitting much more difficult. One of the real keys to change is to focus on what it is you want. Stop telling yourself that stopping smoking is difficult and start telling yourself that stopping smoking is easy.

5. If the urge to smoke strikes, close your eyes, take a deep breath in and as you exhale imagine that urge leaving your body in a cloud of black smoke. Repeat this three times and use as and when it is needed.

6. Purchase a stop smoking hypnosis CD and listen to it at least three times per week.
