Quit Smoking Help

 FOR THOSE TRYING TO #QuitSmokingToday. Written notes from my recording and reminders of the changes to your body the second you stop. You can #stopsmoking now and I hope below inspires you to do so or forward it to someone thinking about stopping.Stop SmokingStop Smoking MG Hypnosis

Smoking is an illusion…cravings are an illusion. We create the story of why we smoke in our heads. The first reason you started smoking is not the same reason for why you continued to smoke. Cigarettes DO NOT help us relax. Cigarettes do not give us confidence. Cigarettes do not go great with a coffee or drink…Cigarettes do make us ill, smell terrible, shorten our life span, and hurt others we care about through second hand smoke…you know as well as I do, smoking is not a smart thing to do.

When you actually take the first puff out of a cigarette and think, “Ah, that is good”, before coughing, you should realize it is actually the rush of fresh air that came in with the nicotine that make you think “that is good”. Try it now…take a deep breath and just notice how nice it does feel to take a good clean breath of fresh air. Better without the smoke actually.

The excuses, or fears, we create in our heads are also illusions. We won’t gain weight, be stressed out, or have terrible withdraw symptoms, as long as you don’t focus your attention on them. Instead you will focus on eating better and healthier foods, drinking more water and taking more exercise. IT IS EASY if you think it will be and are 100% committed to stop smoking. The success is based on your commitment to yourself to stop smoking for the rest of your life.

Some reminders as to what you will gain and the changes to your body when you stop smoking to encourage you…

Smoking cessation and the new tax bill

Okay people, let's get serious now and do the math:

20 cigarettes now cost £7.70 a packet. This multiplied by 365 days a year equals £2,810.50.  Not only that, but that is you putting poisonous tobacco into your body 7,300 times a year.

A hypnotherapy smoking cessation session costs £300.00; saving you £2,510.50 a year. And let's not forget, it cuts out the poison!

Smoking cessation for 2014 – e-cigarettes?

Electronic cigarettes... really?!  Why?  If you are going to stop, stop.  It's like choosing low fat cookies; they don’t really exist.  It is an illusion to think changing to e-cigarettes are going to really help you stop.  I don't know anyone who has tried them and not gone back to the real thing.

The reason you wanted to try to stop should be your focus to help you quit for life.  If you focus on what you will gain in the end, not what you "think" you will lose from them, it will make it easier.  At the end of day, what you think was great about smoking was just an illusion you created in your mind.

It does not relax you, makes you look cool or anything else. It is killing you as the pack says. Just STOP!

Stop smoking on 1st October NHS campaign

On the 1st October the NHS is promoting a smoke-free campaign encouraging smokers in England to stop smoking for 28 days during October.  I completely support it and will give everyone, during the month of October, £25.00 off my normal fee and donate it to Cancer UK.

Take the 28 day challenge but make it a life long change.  You will feel so much better for doing it.  The best way to commit is to think of all the things you hate about smoking and then list all of the things you will gain from stopping.  You can start November feeling healthier, happier and proud. 

Hypnotherapy and Smoking Cessation

by Marygrace Anderson

Some stats: 

Please love stats, but I personally find them boring. However, for those of you who want them please see below and enjoy. I enjoy the facts, like smoking kills you and those around you. I enjoy knowing people who think £250.00 to stop smoking for a longer life, spend £6.00 - £7.00 on a packet of cigarettes (almost £80.00 a month). Talk about burning away your money and health. I was a smoker and quit with hypnotherapy. When you are ready, I’ll be waiting to hear from you.

Good health.
