How To Quit Smoking, By Using Past Successes To Help You

Quitting smoking may seem daunting, especially if a person has had tried and failed in the past.

If for example a person has failed six times then when they try again they bring the combined stress of failure from those past six experiences to this new attempt to quit. It's no wonder that they find it difficult.

For many people they have literally failed before they even get started. So instead of using the power of past failures we can use the power of past experience. The best way to do this is in hypnosis or at least a very relaxed way.

You can consciously think back to times in your life when you have experienced success. It could be big things or small things. Earning a degree or winning a ribbon in a running race at school are a couple of examples.

Let your mind winder and ask the question to yourself, when was the first time you can recall a successful memory. Don't rush this process. Let yourself revisit and enjoy the feeling of each success.

Notice your posture, your breathing your voice etc. Notice how the successful you, moves and communicates. As you connect with the success in your life, just notice where in your body you feel it. e.g. is there a warm feeling in your chest as you recall those pleasant memories.

Once you identify the place where you feel success, you can then access this place and those feelings any time you want. The next thing to do is think amount quitting smoking, and to also connect with this warm feeling in your chest.

The idea is to bring up the feelings of success as you think about quitting. Now you start to connect success with quitting. Soon your fears of failure will fade away leaving you with a strong feeling that quitting will be easy for you.

In fact the more you are in contact with this warm place the easier you know it will be to quit smoking for life. This important shift may be a defining moment in your life. In fact as you quit smoking you will feel confident that you can use this same method to create change in your life.

The added success you now feel will be a powerful springboard to other changes such as weight loss or pain control. In fact anything that you want to change, you have the power.
