Face It, Smoking Just Isn’t Cool Any More

The Great American Smoke Out is scheduled for November 20, 2008. Although it’s still a few weeks away, it isn’t too soon at all to be thinking about taking the last puff of your life. Hundreds of thousands of people all across the United States have quit or cut down because of the increased pressure on smokers to extinguish their butts.

Smoking used to be considered “cool.” Popular movie and television stars smoked. Hospital staffs smoked. Soldiers once received cigarette rations along with their meals.

Since then, scientists and doctors have learned a lot about smoking. Many people today know how dangerous it is to light up, but they just haven’t been able to kick the habit and free themselves of the addiction. If you’re one of these people, you know it’s time to quit and regain your health before it’s too late, but you just haven’t figured out how.

Most quit smoking programs aren’t very successful, either, and that doesn’t help matters. Most programs have a success rate of less than 20 percent. Even hypnotherapy for cigarette smoking has a success rate of less than 25 percent.

If you’re a smoker, these figures probably sound pretty depressing. Who wants to try to fight against all odds to conquer an addiction that’s been part of daily life for decades? Those figures are almost enough to make someone give up and decide it’s not even worth trying!

Are you ready for some good news? Are you ready to hear about a treatment approach that actually works? Would you like to take advantage of an alternative that’s almost three times more successful than counseling or nicotine replacement therapies?

Let me tell you about Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). This treatment offers a plan that really works. Why? Because NLP doesn’t just focus on the physical part of the addiction. It focuses on the aspects of the addiction that are controlled by the unconscious mind.

Most people hate to be controlled by anything, especially by their unconscious. Slavery to addiction just isn’t American. They wonder what to do about it, while they continue to live in their chains day after day, longing for a chance to escape.

If this describes you, you don’t have to be told. You already know. So are you going to keep on living in your chains, or are you ready to break free and really live?

Struggling with Insomnia & Sleep Disorders?

Having trouble sleeping at night? Do you wake up frequently or have trouble falling asleep? Are you tired of feeling like you have never gone to bed, and aren’t rested after spending 8 or 10 hours in bed?

If you don’t sleep well at night, you’re not alone. Up to one-fifth of all adults have a problem sleeping at night. The problem with sleep disturbance, though, isn’t just that you feel tired and miserable throughout the day. If you don’t sleep, you are as dangerous as a drunk driver.

Now, that may sound like a pretty bold claim to make, but studies have shown that people who drive after having stayed awake for 24 hours are as likely to be involved in serious accidents as people who have been driving while intoxicated.

It’s kind of scary when you think about it. Most people think of drunk drivers as people who shouldn’t be allowed behind the wheel of a car (which is true). They would never dream of letting their friends or loved ones get into a car after having drunk too much. But these same people often don’t realize that people who haven’t slept are just as dangerous.

There are medical causes for sleep problems, like sleep apnea or narcolepsy. These conditions may require a doctor’s treatment. If you are pretty sure that yours is related to anxiety or stress or poor sleep habits, though, you may be ready to do what it takes to get a good night’s sleep.

Before you reach for a bottle of sleeping pills, or resign yourself to another round of sleepless nights, read about the effective self-hypnosis programs that will help you to fall asleep without spending hours counting sheep.

First, self-hypnosis CDs can program you to relax and allow yourself to fall asleep without the use of sleeping medicines or other costly aids. These CDs use direct suggestions and offer simple ideas.

If you’re a person who finds it difficult to accept suggestions from other people, you may find that either Ericksonian hypnosis or NLP is more effective for you. These methods use metaphors and conversations to install ideas that will create the expectation of sleep, making it easy to enter dreamland.

You will be so busy concentrating on the conversation that your conscious mind won’t have time to fight the suggestion to fall asleep. You’ll be getting a good night’s rest before you know it!
