It provides step-by-step directions to help you manage your conscious thoughts and actions around smoking, deprogram your subconscious thoughts about smoking, and eventually walk away from this habit that is killing you.
Why is it so hard to quit smoking?
First, there is the physical addiction, which takes over your mind. Most of the time, you don't even know why you light up a cigarette; it is a completely automatic response to the addiction.
Next, you have conscious thoughts that guide you through the physical acts of smoking, such as buying cigarettes, lighting up, and the physical act of smoking itself. While you may be consciously aware of these thoughts and actions, ingrained habits have become your default behavior, and they usually override your conscious awareness.
You also have deeply embedded subconscious thoughts, which work in the background to justify your smoking habit. These little thoughts, underneath the turbulence of your mind's conscious dialog, keep saying you're missing something if you don't have the cigarette. Thoughts such as:
1. It helps calm my nerves.
2. It gives me something to relieve anxiety and stress.
3. I have few other pleasures in life, so I'm going to enjoy this cigarette.
4. It's my choice, and no one is going to tell me what to do.
5. At least I'm not doing drugs or something much worse; this isn't so bad.
And so forth.
Of course, the higher part of you knows that the smoking habit is damaging your body, the people around you, and all who are associated with the after-effects, including the entire population of the world at a deeper level. Your loved ones will most likely see you suffer the dangerous health effects, especially as you grow older.
Your higher self wants to quit, but it is in conflict with your ingrained conscious thoughts and habits, and your unconscious thoughts. So you need to deal with those illogical thoughts and habits, which in their purest form are actually killing you. How do you deal with them? By becoming aware of, observing, and managing them.
If you constantly pay attention to your conscious thoughts, and work to deprogram the subconscious mind to rid it of the illogical justifications for smoking, you will soon cut way down, and eventually rid yourself of this terrible habit altogether. In the end, this is the only technique that worked for me. It can work for you, too.
