If the option of living on a desert island for a month, or smoking a
fake cigarette for the rest of your days do not appeal to you, and you
don't want to be a stop-start quitter, you do have other options. And
although going cold-turkey is one, you want to give yourself as much of a
chance of success as possible. After all its your health and life
that's at stake.
So how do you actually quit? You're craving
that next cigarette, but you don't want to smoke it. Well great then,
that means maybe its time for a little NLP.
NLP stop-smoking
programs focus on both the physical and mental aspects of quitting
smoking. NLP stands for Neurolinguistic Psychology and its all about
empowering brain messages, and patterns. It was created by Bandler and
Grinder (a linguist), in the 1970s as a way of overcoming learned
limitations. If you're new to NLP, then start by asking yourself these three questions as they relate to your desire to stop smoking:
What do you want to accomplish? What has stopped you until now to quit smoking?
You
have to have a personal desire to quit, and one that's internal. For
example, you might say: I want to breathe properly again, now that's a
great personal motivator. More powerful than, lets say: I want my
partner to stop nagging me about the smell of cigarette smoke on my
clothes. The greatest predictor of your success in quitting smoking is
self-motivation. It makes something like a 20% difference.
