If you are one who is trying to quit smoking, you know how challenging it is to overcome this damaging compulsion. However, it is possible, and half of all adult smokers will successfully quit smoking forever. Many smokers succeed in quitting smoking cigarettes by replacing them with new, positive habits without having to experience withdrawal symptoms. By far, the most effective and easiest method to stop smoking and achieve this end is stop smoking self-hypnosis. Hypnosis for smoking cessation is one of the most frequently practiced forms of hypnotherapy. It is often cited as a tool for quitting smoking along with strategies such as nicotine replacement therapy and other popular methods. It works to end the smoking addiction by combating cravings to smoke, motivating you to stay committed to quitting, and promoting relaxation and stress relief so you will not feel the need to smoke. The smoking addiction has both psychological and physiological components. The physiological addiction is a physical addiction the body develops to nicotine. This aspect of the addiction is what causes the physical withdrawal symptoms that make it feel near impossible to stop smoking. However, this is a short, temporary phase in the overall course of quitting the habit, which lasts only between three days and one week. By the end of this time period, your body adjusts to usual, nicotine-free functioning. Based on thirty years of experience, I believe that the physical addiction to nicotine constitutes a mere ten percent of the addiction to cigarette smoking. 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 represents ninety percent of the tobacco addiction. When you develop a smoking habit, you develop an unconscious desire to smoke in certain situations, such as during work breaks. This is called a conditioned response. Stop smoking self-hypnosis works to eliminate the unconscious associations that cause one to crave cigarettes, thereby eliminating the conditioned response to smoke. Hypnotherapy also helps you stay motivated to stop smoking by reinforcing the ideas that gave you the wish to break the smoking addiction in the first place. Smokers get stuck in the habit of following a ritual of lighting up and smoking. This is why people who attempt to stop smoking using nicotine gums or patches alone usually are unable to successfully quit. They quickly overcome the physical withdrawal, but they have no replacement or relief for the ritual of smoking, which has become a psychological addiction and pleasurable source of stress relief. Stop smoking 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 cravings for cigarettes. Combined with some effective NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) techniques, quit smoking self-hypnosis can keep you committed to stop smoking by training your unconscious to focus on the benefits of quitting. Eliminating tobacco benefits you in a great number of ways. Within days of quitting, body parts damaged by smoking begin to heal, damaged nerves re-grow, and the sense of taste and smell improves significantly. Within weeks, lung function and circulation improve. Within a year, your risk of heart disease is less than half that of a smoker. Within five to fifteen years, the risk of 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 your risk of death from lung cancer and numerous other cancer risks have decreased. In spite of the harmful effects of smoking and the health benefits of quitting, some smokers never overcome their habit. For the most part, this is because they have never seriously committed to quitting. Other smokers are often afraid to experience withdrawal symptoms or let go of the smoking habit. However, quitting smoking does not have to be the difficult process that makes so many smokers hesitant to even attempt quitting. Hypnosis is a very simple, natural method of quitting. Hypnosis for quitting smoking is a powerful tool for extinguishing cravings for cigarettes, providing powerful motivation, and promoting relaxation and stress relief to completely eliminate the psychological part of the smoking addiction. Hypnosis techniques to stop smoking can be learned with ease from specialized self-hypnosis CDs that have been developed after decades of experience using hypnosis, NLP, and Neuro-VISION video hypnotherapy to get clients to quit smoking. Hypnosis CDs make it easy to stop smoking completely because they break the smoking compulsion in a process that helps obliterate cravings and the desire to smoke. Whatever your motivation is for quitting, hypnosis makes it easier to focus your mind on these reasons, which makes you feel a powerful urge to quit. Stop smoking hypnotherapy CDs eliminate the conditioned urge to smoke. Although quitting smoking can be an unsuccessful and painful experience for some, those who take advantage of self-hypnosis have a much greater percentage of success because it makes the process much easier. Hypnosis is the most effective method for smoke cessation. Article Source: http://www.ArticleBlast.com |
