Quitting smoking - Believe In Yourself
 When smokers say, “I will quit one day, when I am ready”, all they are saying is, “Im not sure I can quit, but will say this to reassure myself”. Already the seed of doubt has been planted. Smokers are unaware that they set doubt within themselves, when they say they want to quit, without truly comprehending quitting. Smokers know that it is hard and try to counter those thoughts with reassurance. To seek reassurance, doubt must be implanted within our subconscious.

 

We must remove this doubt in order to succeed. We must truly believe that we will become non-smokers.

 

The steps are simple. Start believing now. Start believing in yourself. The practice of believing yourself as a non-smoker should commence immediately. It will become the stepping-stone for your success. Mental preparation shall become the foundation of your freedom.

 

The good thing about this is it is not difficult to do. Start everyday, believing you are a non-smoker. Make mental notes on all the positives of quitting. Picture yourself as a non-smoker. Envision yourself, happier and healthier. Constantly remind yourself everyday, that you will be happier as a non-smoker. Points to highlight are belief and visualization, the next step will follow; you as a non-smoker.

 

As humans we are born with a powerful asset; our brain. Our problem is we fail to use it to its full potential or are unaware of the possibilities. Do you think that the Americans, when planning to reach the moon, began their journey with thoughts of doubt? No, they believed they could reach the moon; they visualized, prepared and achieved the unimaginable. Belief is a powerful tool

 

As a smoker who wants to quit, using techniques of belief and self-suggestion are powerful tools. It is a beginning, but a very crucial one. Believe that one day you will be free from the smoking prison. Free yourself.
