Two Games Your Mind Plays To Prevent You From Quit Smoking

Even if many people are well aware of disadvantages that are caused by smoking the vast majority of them arent able to give up the habit and quit smoking.

Studies show that reason behind this is the myth of addictions. Smokers are overestimating the power of addictions, so they arent able to quit smoking. Put another way, smokers think that nicotine is not allowing them to quit smoking.

This is the trap and adds laziness to your quit smoking trials. This is what gives real power to the physiological addiction: you think your addiction has more power than you, so you try to resist weakly, so you fail, so you have confirmed that nicotine addiction is powerful, so you cant do anything against it, so you can continue smoking. Then you restart this cycle with more evidence that you are addicted to nicotine and you cant do anything against it.

So you continue smoking and develop (what you think is) a pleasant habit. Soon youll need to smoke to satisfy your habit. As every other habit, it has its own environmental triggers that activate your smoking desire (after meal? At the phone? In a coffee break?).

So the two psychological traps that prevent you from quit smoking are:

  1. Thinking your nicotine addiction cant be beaten.
  2. The pleasure habit you develop smoking.

These traps merged with the physiological increasing addiction, make your quit smoking trial weaker and weaker.

Thus smoking is more a problem of mind than is of body. It is not an easy habit to get rid of but the good news is that studies show that quitting smoking is an easy task with modern therapies. For example hypnotherapy is an effective mean that can help you to quit smoking easily.

To start you have to drop your nicotine addiction belief and then drop the habit.

To drop your nicotine addiction belief, just consider what we have said before and grasp that its true.

Quitting habit is much difficult than quitting anything else. But you can start organizing your resources and freeing from smoking diseases

You need to act in a cohesive manner. Behaving in a new way in a consistent manner will, as you guess, develop a new habit. The more you apply it, the more the old habit will weaken. At the start it will be quite hard, as only your effort will sustain you. But in a while your new habit will support you. So it will become easier and easier the more you go.

So, get all the help you can and start.
