In the first Chapter of this post, I talked about how as an infant, your mind was programmed to receive relaxation and pleasure from things going into your mouth. And as an adult, when you feel stressed, since you would look pretty silly walking around with a baby bottle in your mouth, you do the intelligent adult thing: You stick a poison cancer stick in your mouth instead!
Today I’m going to talk about how to eliminate the cravings for cigarettes that are based in stress. Along the way you’re going to learn a “way cool” mental exercise, that you can use to produce instant relaxation. Once again, I’m going to reassure you, there are ways for you to quit, and not have to suffer through withdrawal. And you won’t have to gain weight either!
There is a law of nature, called the law of equal exchange. The law states that if a person wants something, they must pay for it with something else of equal value. If you’re out shopping for clothes, and you find something that you would like to have, you must pay for it with something else of equal value, which in this case is money.
THE TRICK
If you are smoking for relaxation and pleasure, and you want to quit, then you have to substitute some other behaviors that will provide the same exact relaxation and pleasure, in place of your cigarettes. You will need to substitute behaviors based on the following criteria:
1) They must be as effective as smoking is at providing the relaxation and pleasure.
2) They must be as available as smoking is (can be done almost anywhere on the spur of the moment) for providing the relaxation and pleasure.
3) They must be more consciously acceptable than smoking is, for providing relaxation and pleasure.Are you wondering how you are going to accomplish “The Trick?” Hypnosis? What else? But NOT the kind that you are probably thinking of. Not by using post-hypnotic suggestions in the traditional sense, because for most people, post-hypnotic suggestions will definitely NOT work!
Do you hate to be told what to do, like most people? If so, programs that use post-hypnotic commands and suggestions are NOT going to help you one little bit.
Be patient, because in Chapter number 5, I’m going to reveal the magic pill to you.
A MENTAL EXERCISE
Remember the most beautiful sunset that you’ve ever seen. If you can’t remember one, fantasize one. But just see the sunset. Don’t picture yourself or anyone else in the image. Put in the colors of the sun and the sky, and imagine the comfortable temperature of the air against your skin.
Finally, recall the smells and any of the nature sounds that you heard. Please take a few moments and do this exercise right now.
If you did the exercise correctly, then your thoughts made you feel nice and relaxed. The source of our feelings is our thoughts. So just as thinking about a sunset made you feel more relaxed. The source of happiness, joy, peace, sorrow, stress, and upset is a person’s thoughts!
The essence of hypnosis is relaxation, so by practicing self-hypnosis, we can dissipate much of the tension that causes our oral cravings.
The Neuro-VISION® Video Hypnosis Technology trains your mind thru computerized digital optics, to instantly take your stress producing thoughts, and automatically exchange them for relaxing mental pictures and movies. This makes you feel relaxation and pleasure, and eliminates the thoughts that cause you to feel oral cravings and urges for cigarettes that are based on stress.
The second “Element” or reason that people crave cigarettes is called a conditioned response. This is where they have associated cigarettes with simple activities like watching TV, driving, reading, drinking coffee, etc.. So when they watch TV or read, they feel compulsions to smoke.
In our next installment, we’ll learn about cravings and compulsions that are based on conditioned responses. So that’s it for today. See you next time.
Until then, the best thing that you can do for yourself is to visualize yourself as a healthy person who has never smoked a cigarette. See yourself in all of the situations that you “used” to smoke in, only see yourself as a non-smoker.
Picture all of the good things that you would like to have happen for you because you are a non-smoker. Do this exercise on a daily basis.
