Dear Health Conscious Friend,
Quit smoking plans do they really work is a good question. Recent studies show former smokers took on average five (5) times to successfully quit. If you asked them was it worth it they would unanimously say YES!
Getting started in constructing a workable plan is not that difficult if you know how. In this post we will share with you the essential ingredients of the best laid plans. Then, all that is left is for you to get going. And I can guarantee your success if you stick with it for the next twenty-one (21) days. That is it and you'll be home smoke free.
One of the old fashioned ways to come to a decision is to take out a blank sheet of paper. Draw a line on it right down the middle of the paper. Now on one side label it Pros. On the other side label it Cons. Next, I want you to get yourself a timer or just use your watch to time yourself. Set aside no more than 10 minutes. That is, on each side you'll spend ten minutes. Ten minutes writing out the pros. Then ten minutes writing out the cons.
What you have as a result of completing this exercise, is your motivational list. This is pure Anthony Robbins teaching here. He teaches that your brain and mine has a built in desire to be drawn towards avoiding pain more so than gaining pleasure.
Don't believe me?
When do most people in America do their taxes? Right. Okay, right up until the day when they have to pay them. Why? because we hate paying taxes and it brings so much pain to have to sit down and face it. The only thing that changed was the date creeping up to 15 April, which is tax day in the United States.
You can now take that same knowledge that we've given you up above and use it to your advantage. In your quit smoking plans, you must have an alternative way to deal with your tension and stress brought on by quitting. Your body will crave the nicotine more than you ever want to admit. But there are aids and supplements you can take to curb this. Even though, you can take quit smoking pills and such like, you still must have a very determined mind. Nothing can replace that.
On your quit smoking plan, you will place the date for when you will enact this plan. Avoid being in a rush to get going. I suggest you take the time to really get your plan together. Do the steps mentioned in this article first. This will build up your courage to face this addiction.
Some of the best laid plans include using chewing gum, how to handle the weight gain issue (if there is one), should you exercise, if so which will you start doing, any affirmations or mantras that your will use. Some people even quote the 23rd Psalm (from the Bible) as their mantras.
As you can see there are many resources available to assist you with quitting. These are all useful in building your quit smoking plans today. Get started sooner rather than later in building your healthier body today.
