Are some methods of
quitting smoking easier than others? Is there an easy way to stop
smoking and if there is, which method is it? It's obvious that all
methods of stopping smoking work for some people but not for all people.
However, no matter which method the successful quitter uses the reason
it is successful for them is that during the process they begin to think
in a different way.
Therefore, without realising it, they mimic
the way hypnosis works. Hypnosis to quit smoking works by focusing the
mind on a successful outcome and by guiding the quitter to imagine
themselves as a non-smoker. The practised hypnotist, knowing how mind
works, can facilitate a process that some people stumble upon
accidentally.
In each case of successful quitting smoking the
credit may be given to the placebo, the patches, the nicotine
replacement therapy, the imitation cigarette or even willpower but the
actual reason is a change of direction of mind. Sometimes stopping
smoking is hard while for others quitting is so easy it can seem as if a
miracle has happened.
When stopping smoking seems like hard work
and a struggle you can guarantee the quitter is using willpower.
Willpower can work and often does but even willpower has to be used in a
certain way to become 100% successful. When used incorrectly the
willpower method can make matters even worse and may mean the quitter
will spend years still wanting a cigarette and still wishing they could
smoke.
Hypnosis as a stop smoking method overcomes all the normal
problems associated with stopping smoking and that is why it is often
called the, 'the easy way to stop smoking.' It is true that hypnosis to
quit smoking has a failure rate; it doesn't work for everyone but there
are valid reasons for failure.
If the client is mentally arguing
with, disagreeing with or has a dislike of the hypnotherapist or the
consulting rooms the therapy can fail. If the client is uncomfortable;
too hot or too cold or the consulting rooms are too noisy the therapy
can also fail.
However, the most common source of failure is due
to the clients mental state directly prior to therapy. If you choose to
succeed it is vital that you prepare yourself mentally prior to the
therapy. Whether you choose one to one therapy or a CD mental
preparation is the key to success. Before you begin take some time to
decide what you want as an outcome of the therapy, your success or
failure depends on it.
If you focus on the things you don't want you'll get them. The following statements or any like them will create failure:
- "I hope it's not a waste of money."
- "What if it doesn't work?"
- "What if I can't be hypnotised?"
- "What if I still want a cigarette when it's over?"
- "I hope it's not a waste of time."
If you want to stop successfully use the following statements:
- "I hope it's money well spent."
- "If it's worked for others it can work for me."
- "I reckon I can be hypnotised."
- "I wonder what it'll be like to be free?"
- "I reckon this will be time well spent."
Think positively if you expect positive results. Talk
only about what you want to have happen. Take the advice I was given
just before I stopped smoking (after years of struggle). "If you
really want to stop you will, there's nothing so sure as that. All you
have to do is keep wanting, keep trying and it's inevitable that one day
you will." I took that advice and I did stop very soon afterwards.
Some
people who choose the hypnosis method to quit stop successfully while
listening to a CD while others benefit from one to one therapy.
Whichever method of hypnosis you use to stop smoking I wish you all the
success you deserve.
