Smoke Less, Butt Out, Live More and Kick your Smoking Habit for Good

Congratulations on wanting to give up smoking! Many people have picked up the habit during COVID-19, so don't be too hard on yourself. Simply taking the first steps and displaying an interest in quitting is already a tremendous achievement - you're well on your way to becoming smoke-free! Being healthy, having more money, feeling great... these are all things that come from quitting smoking. You can do it whenever you choose; put your mind to it and take control of your life today!

Your brain's Nicotinic Acetylcholine (Acetil-Co-lieen) receptors have been trained to anticipate the nicotine hit each morning, causing an urge and excitement - yet these emotions dissipate immediately after you smoke. As time progresses, your body begins relying on cigarettes as a source of pleasure; if deprived of that stability, the receptors become agitated.

Even though hypnosis is an incredible tool, let us be honest: quitting smoking will still involve some pain in the initial 48 hours. It might even take up to a month before you have absolutely no cravings for tobacco again. However, those who manage to quit "cold turkey" usually set themselves up for success beforehand through careful mental preparation - making cigarette smoke so unpleasant that it finally drove them away from their addiction. To achieve such results, you need to embrace yourself as a pattern-breaking tyrant and persevere until your goal is achieved!

To break free of your smoking addiction, try something different: start with the wrong hand, face into a windy breeze so it blows smoke in your face, and stand in front of a mirror while you're puffing away. Continue this routine for the next week or two until you've finally had enough. Acknowledge that you are indeed a prisoner to this unhealthy habit – no more yellowed fingers and stinky clothes! Once that feeling has set in; well then something wondrous happens –you have unlocked your inner liberation from cigarettes.


Breaking the addiction

Quitting smoking can be a daunting mission, yet it's definitely worth the effort - your body deserves to heal and you'll look years younger! To reduce nicotine cravings, there are plenty of unique gum patches and gel packs available online. Additionally, inhaling or nasal sprays containing nicotine have been known to help manage withdrawal symptoms. Ultimately however, speaking with your doctor is key for discovering the best treatment plan for you.

If you’re determined to quit smoking, we have a few helpful tips that will get your journey off the ground:

  1. If you're looking to quit smoking for good, be sure to ask your doctor about available options. From counseling services to effective medications, there are countless ways that can assist you in breaking the habit successfully and forever.

  2. It's time to devise a plan. When and where are you going to quit smoking? Make sure that you remain committed to it, and don't forget to notify your friends and family about this important decision of yours so they can be there for support!

  3. Now that you have chosen to abandon smoking, get rid of any cigarettes and ashtrays in your home. This way, when you spot them, the temptation to smoke will be eliminated.

  4. When you have the urge to smoke, find an alternate activity such as going for a stroll, having a relaxing bath or reading a book. Identifying healthy activities will assist in keeping your goals of quitting smoking on track.

Hypnotherapy isn't a quick fix; it won't make you quit smoking in an instant. Quitting is a process, and hypnosis can be used to assist with that journey - working on physical cravings, psychological doubts, and any emotional issues related to your addiction. If you're ready for lasting change and want the help of hypnotism's healing power, here's how to begin!

You have absolute control over what goes on inside them – so take charge and let that power shape your experiences! Before we move on, let's establish an efficient way to communicate with your Unconscious mind. Whenever I ask you questions and the answer is "yes," please raise your right index finger as a sign of confirmation - that is yes or right.

Is that clear? Wonderful! Go ahead, Name...and now direct your thoughts inward. Focus on the sensation of your feet and acknowledge how hard they work for you - taking you everywhere life leads. Give yourself permission to relax those tired toes; let them take a break from your busy mind. Notice how good it feels as peace envelopes each part of your body from head to toe. Speak to your feet and encourage them to let go of all tension. You may notice the relaxation start in either foot, so don't be afraid for it to spread up towards your waist and down into both legs until they become completely limp, just like a rag doll's!

Your eyelids become so heavy with comfort that you could barely muster enough strength to open them - just like a rag doll! That's right! As you resist opening them, the locks become heavier and tougher to move. But Name, think of this: by using nothing else but your own mindpower, you've already managed to relax your body in a brief amount of time! You're doing an amazing job; as you keep relaxing more and more deeply with each word I say, my voice will sound even clearer as if it was present right next to you.

So dive deep within yourself and access your creative side: unlock the right hemisphere of your brain to give birth to imaginative ideas that will lead you towards marvelous new possibilities. Tap into your creative side and give me a positive response to proceed (Awaiting your reply).

Wonderful! Now, as you recall the optimistic aim of that part of your past (insert clients positive intention) which was previously running on autopilot. It's time to find alternatives that would replace the detrimental habits of our past and offer us better, more effective ways to achieve our desired objectives. We need behaviours and responses that provide similar positive intentions as before but are healthier for us. For example, eating less while being satisfied with what we eat can lead us down a beneficial path away from unhealthy foods. Name, I am asking you to take the initiative now and inquire within yourself as to whether your former smoking habits would be willing to transition into more productive behaviors. Can you feel a response of yes or no? Wonderful! Let us express our appreciation for that part of your past which has communicated with us today.

Are you willing to listen to your creative side and work with the pieces of your past in order to create new, positive habits and behaviors? I am immensely grateful for your team's creativity in proposing new solutions. For the sake of illustration, let us imagine that your creative part is represented by a spinning slot machine with three wheels. Each wheel represents a response or behavior that surpasses any existing habits you want to modify. When you name your wheel, a vivid picture of the future will appear in your mind. Let this image come to life without forcing it - allow yourself to observe and listen as an internal voice encourages positive behavior: "Yes! You can do that instead." With no effort required on your part, the wheel will eventually stop spinning and guide you toward a new destination.

Congratulations! You have managed to create a single more effective behavior that surpasses the old habit. As you await for the second wheel to stop, you will be presented with another alternative which can provide your desired outcome when it is practiced. When this new response and behavior become visible in your thoughts, simply proceed ahead without hesitation.

Congratulations! You have taken two significant steps forward, and created new reactions and behaviors to bring into your routine. I'm so grateful for the creative side of you that was able to come up with these solutions and alternatives. Now, all we need is one last spin on the wheel; observe closely as it gradually comes to a complete standstill. Take a step back and let the process flow naturally. Think of something you could do differently in order to be different, then when you can envision or feel that new behavior or response within your mind, take action towards it!

Great job! You've now successfully acquired three new self-generated behaviors and responses. Do you agree that these newly obtained habits are far more advantageous than those from the past?

Fantastic! Now, I want you to request your former smoking self to accept accountability for employing the new behaviors and reactions in the foreseeable future when needed.

Congratulations, Name! You are well aware that you contain multiple parts within yourself; for instance, the smoker part of you is now replaced by a newer version which remembers how to be smoke-free.  As you may be aware, there is more than just one side of yourself. It's essential that all these parts come together to ensure a successful journey towards optimal health. Take the time to let this inquiry sink in and become conscious of your response: Do any of the inner components inside yourself have hesitations or objections against using new behaviors and responses? Once you gain clarity on that answer, then go ahead with what resonates best for you!

Fantastic! Now that your parts are all aligned with being a non-smoker, it will be far easier for you to abstain. Your unconscious mind has already looked ahead and transformed the same positive intent of smoking into three new ways to achieve the desired outcome. To guarantee that this continues in future, I want to make sure everything remains alright so if you would like assistance in assuring lasting success over time then please let me know.I urge you to apply the newfound knowledge and conduct with a new perspective in potential future scenarios. Allow yourself some time for visualization as you do this so that those newfound responses become more ingrained. Do you feel a difference already? You are likely more relaxed and at ease than before, without even having to make an effort - easy! Now imagine another context or situation in which these newfound skills could be put into practice. Visualize it vividly whilst taking along your newly-honed abilities for the ride; use these new eyes of yours to see things from different perspectives.you can realize that already you have changed that your unconscious mind has not only raced ahead in the future and made the adjustments but has also raced in the past and made some changes, it has made changes to whatever would need to be changed in your past to change your beliefs about yourself beliefs that would allow you to tap into your true potential into the reality that you weren’t born a smoker and realize that your most natural state is to be smoke free! on that though you relax even more allowing the changes to generalize over time. Recall back to your life before you started smoking cigarettes, when everyday was a breath of fresh air. You knew how to cope with the challenges that life brought without needing nicotine as your crutch. Choose a healthier lifestyle and say no to poisoning your body; smoking is like holding onto a loaded gun! Can you imagine walking around with one by your side?Resisting the temptation of smoking can be a difficult task, as it often feels like you're just waiting for an opportunity to seize and succumb. However, being mindful that every cigarette is poison for your body should give you enough incentive to say no from the very beginning. Remind yourself constantly - second by second and minute by minute- that even one puff would mean having to start all over again, so make sure this time around you choose honesty with yourself above anything else.

Today is the day - your opportunity to choose health and wellness by committing to a smoke-free life. Take this decision for yourself, Name.... I am here with you in making this commitment; let us both be inspired by the magnificence of clean air breathed into our lungs! Feel the universe's approval sweep over us in a wave of white light as it supports us on this journey towards clarity and transformation. Visualize a 10,000-watt beam of white light emanating from the very core of the Universe and cascading directly above your head. Feel its warmth as it envelops you in an infinite source of love and healing. Allow yourself to bask in this energy - knowing that everything is possible when we allow ourselves to be filled with grace and hope for what lies ahead. Envision a window on the top of your head, an opening that allows light to shine through. As this illumination flows in, it penetrates each cell, molecule and atom within you--all the way down to infinite quantum particles which affect all systems. As you awaken, imagine the light radiating from your neck area down to your chest and lungs, like thousands of tiny sparkling stars transforming into scrub brushes that cleanse every organ in its path. Feel invigorated as this bright energy renews all aspects of your body. Now, let's start the journey to clear away all tar, toxins and poisons from your lungs. You will feel a sense of lightness as you say goodbye to the heaviness that has been in your chest for so long. Some people experience tingles during this cleansing process while others simply find their lungs gently restoring themselves back to their natural state. The changes you are experiencing now have been perfectly tailored to your needs. As the light continues its detoxifying process, feel all of the impurities such as toxins and tar being cleansed away from your body. Envision a lukewarm orange liquid being released from your body, as if tubes were attached to the bottom of your feet. You can observe and sense this solution draining out of you until you feel invigorated! Gradually feeling much better than ever before; light will continually protect and fortify you through every tribulation ahead. Picture yourself engulfed in a cocoon of light, feeling calm and secure as the detoxification procedure advances over the next few days. Your body will necessitate more water to ensure it can complete its repairs - this healing requires that you drink two to four liters of pure, revitalizing water daily. This is the place where you can wave goodbye to all your cravings, addictions and yearnings for those risky cigarettes. No more will they be in control of your life; today marks the beginning of a smoke-free journey - one full of clean air and clear lungs! By the time you awaken, cigarettes will be a distant memory. You won't even remember them at all; they'll have been wiped away as if they never existed in your life. Picture what it would be like to open your eyes and find that each cell and organ in your body is no longer burdened by the harms of smoking. It will feel as if you never lit up a single cigarette, or lived with any smoker inside of you--like all those moments were just another bad dream, one so forgotten that it can't even be remembered! You have now come back to that center of wisdom within you, understanding that there are times when things must transform and the resolve to succeed is essential. You recall how in the past you accomplished whatever goals you set for yourself. Embrace this as a new beginning, just like having an extra breath of life. You no longer have to live your days on borrowed time; you've been given another shot at living! As hard as it may be, the more effort you put into uncovering the old smoker inside yourself, the harder that part will continue to remain hidden. So take hold of this fresh start and make something out of it! As you come closer to your goal of quitting, it can feel like the habit is slipping away from you. The memory of smoking has completely disappeared and now all that remains is for you to remember to forget about the past once and for all. It's time for a fresh start: forgetting what was and remembering where you are heading! Although it may be difficult to determine precisely which past behaviors you should forget and those that you need to remember in order to avoid the harmful effects of smoking, your unconscious mind can make these important adjustments internally. That way, when faced with someone lighting up or smoking, you will naturally think about its toxic consequences. You know which one there is, no mistake about it, You know the one, I remember in some movie seeing it on the pirates black flag, see it in your minds eyes, each and every time, you see someone smoking, you will see this black losers flag in your mind. Whenever you come across cigarette smoke, or when you see someone smoking, remember the feeling of liberation that comes with having left this habit behind. Congratulations on ridding your life of a dangerous poison and taking back control of your health – it is all thanks to the power of your own mind! Are you feeling liberated to make more conscious and healthy choices? One good indication of this is a sudden, intense craving for fresh water! Your body knows that by drinking clean, invigorating H2O it can cleanse itself from any residual toxins. With the right nutrition shift and plenty of pure hydration, your health will be in tip-top shape once again! I now urge you to begin drinking two to four litres of pure, fresh, vibrant water every day as you make your transition toward better health. Today upon awakening, you will feel very relaxed and remain relaxed throughout the rest of the day. Tomorrow morning, you will be very surprised to find out that this wonderful feeling of relaxation and wellbeing is still with you. You feel great!

Picture in your mind's eye what it would be like to rise up tomorrow morning in the comfort of your own bedroom. As you come awake, notice how liberated you feel from all restrictions--you have full freedom and choice for this day ahead! Notice those positive vibes inside and recognize that they are a sign; a signal that within you lies balance between yourself and all components of who you are. After eagerly coming together in unison, the parts rejoice for their delivery and liberation from toxicity. You are invited to experience complete health and personal power anew. Then, I will count from one to five; with each number you will reawaken slowly but surely. As I begin counting from one to five, your Unconscious mind will recognize the number and prompt you to open your eyes. Upon reaching five, you'll be relaxed yet alert. By this time, an awareness of your surroundings should come over you as well - feeling revived and prepared to embrace life once more.Become increasingly alert and aware to merge with your body again. Rejuvenated, endowed with abilities, talents and determination as the union of mind and body is achieved. Feel sensory sensations coming back into your hands, feet arms and legs.

1 - Now, embarking on the journey through space and time--uniting your mind's energy with that of your body.
