Replace smoking cigarettes with a healthy habit

I was recently visiting a friend of mine when he declared to me whilst clutching his electronic cigarette, that he had stopped smoking.

At first, I did not know what to say but I then said but aren’t you still smoking? He replied no, he wasn’t smoking cigarettes any more. When I asked him if the liquid in his electronic cigarette contained nicotine he said, yes it does and it is pure nicotine.

I was stunned and amazed to think that he felt that he had stopped smoking because he had stopped smoking cigarettes.

All he had done was replace one bad habit […]

I love what I do

The other day I pulled into the parking lot of my local shops. As I got out of my car a guy came running up to me. At first, I was a little alarmed, not sure what it was all about. The guy said, I’m really glad to see you again. I’ve been meaning to get in contact with you. It’s been six years since I saw you to stop smoking and I’m still a non-smoker, thank you.

I was blown away by this and I thought that I have the best occupation in the world.

Life must have been feeling kind […]

A great tip to successfully stop smoking

Recently a lady phoned me to enquire about my process to stop smoking.

She said that she loved smoking but it was getting to expensive to smoke cigarettes. Immediately the alarm bells went off in my mind. I asked her what was her main reason to quit smoking cigarettes. She replied that it was because it was too expensive to smoke.

Why did the alarm bells in my mind go off? They went off because if your main reason to stop smoking is the cost the chances of you succeeding are remote. You will always find money to smoke! The average person […]

How to relieve stress without smoking

Many people who smoke cigarettes say that they do it to relieve any stress that they may have. Smoking does and it does not relieve stress.

When you inhale the nicotine from a cigarette it causes your blood vessels to constrict, this interferes with your blood circulation. When you get stressed your blood goes to your muscles so that they can react, they tense up. Smoking interferes with the blood circulation and makes the stress worse!!

On the other hand, the act of putting a cigarette to your mouth and taking it away plus the deep breathing of the smoke helps relieve […]

Become a permanent non-smoker who breathes fresh air

I had a 70-year-old lady come to see me to stop smoking. She had been smoking for 50 years and was smoking 40 to 50 cigarettes a day.

When I asked her why she wanted to quit smoking at her age she replied, I’ve still got plenty of years left to live and smoking is getting in the way of me enjoying them.

You will be surprised at the number of 70-year-olds that come to stop smoking and who all say the same thing, they still have a lot of years to live.

This week I got an email from this lady and […]

Smoking Cigarettes makes you an Outcast

Smoking Cigarettes makes you an Outcast

When you first started smoking cigarettes it was probably the in thing. Your friends or family might have smoked around you and it was cool to smoke. It was a way to fit in. You may even have started to smoke as an act of rebellion.
Now days, the pressures of society are to be fit and healthy and smoking does not fit into this model.

In Australia especially, it is becoming more and more hard to find a place to smoke. People look at you as if you are an outcast when you are standing outside smoking.

It is ironic that most […]

Hypnosis, an excellent way to stop smoking

I recently received this from someone who I helped to stop smoking cigarettes.

Before I came to you I was smoking 30 cigarettes plus a day. I had been smoking for 30 years and I was sceptical about hypnosis. It’s now three years later and I’m still a non-smoker and I have not had any cravings from the moment you used hypnosis to help me to quit smoking. Thank you.

Wow what a great pick me up for the day!

The problem with smoking cigarettes is that the habit tricks the unconscious mind into thinking that smoking is associated with safety and survival. […]

How to stop your suicidal habit of smoking

Smoking is just a suicidal habit that can lead to an early and miserable death. Just about everybody that I see wants to quit smoking because of the effect it has on their health.
I had a woman who came to see me that said that she wanted to quit smoking cigarettes because it made her look older and that she did not like the control that cigarettes and smoking had over her. Her next statement said it all; she said that she had just turned 36 and was beginning to feel the health effects of smoking. She did not have […]

To Succeed you need to Engage

I had a client come to see me for quit smoking. Before we started I was careful to explain that you have to engage for the process to succeed. In other words, you have to accept all suggestions and act on them.
Not long into the hypnosis session I noticed that she was just closing her eyes but not accepting the suggestions that I was giving her. I stopped the session and then asked her what was going on for her. She told me that she was consumed about the recent death of a friend and was finding it very hard […]
