Preparation to Stop Smoking in a Week

There is a need being fulfilled by the smoking and because it is a subconscious need you have no logical rational explanation for spending so much time and energy in doing it. Being a subconsciously controlled behaviour you have no conscious control over it. You, my friend, are in the grip of addiction.

If you smoke 20 cigarettes day that means you are spending at least £35 per week, £140 per month and £1680 per year. But that doesn't include all the extra cigarettes smoked at parties etc.

You spend around 3 minutes smoking a cigarette and if you smoke 20 cigarettes a day that would be nearly an hour per day spent devoted to cigarette smoking and that doesn't include the time taken to find a suitable place to do it if you are out. 7 hours per week , 28 hours per month, and a whopping 336 hours per year. This means you spend 14 days of the year smoking.

This gives you an idea of the commitment you have made to your nicotine habit. You can easily calculate that if you have been smoking for the last 10 years then you have probably spent close to £17,000 on cigarettes and have used 140 days of your life doing it. You are burning your money and continue to do so.

The best way to stop smoking is with awareness! I know what I have said may come as a surprise to you but that is exactly what is required. How else can you bring this subconsciously controlled behaviour under your conscious control? 

I have been studying the dynamics of the human mind for years in my private practice as a clinical hypnotherapist and have shown people how hypnosis can be used to harness awareness and focus thought like a laser beam to achieve what they want. To stop smoking is a relatively easy thing to do once the cooperation of conscious and subconscious has been enlisted. 

My method involves awareness and careful preparation. It is important that you adhere strictly to my simple instructions on how I want you to smoke for a week and the audio that I ask you to play before you start prepares your mind to succeed.

Before you start my Stop Smoking Method you must first prepare your mind. Just as a farmer prepares his fields before sowing his valuable seed you too must prepare your mind for the task ahead. To do this use the audio recording Treatment Preparation by Xavier which you can purchase from my website.This is important because in order to address any addiction the first step should be to prepare the mind that has caused the addiction in the first place. I recommend that you burn the audio to CD or play it from an iPod or MP3 player for no less than 10 days before you read your instructions to Stop Smoking in a Week.

The preparation audio teaches the secrets of deep relaxation which you can use for the rest of your life. The audio is an invaluable tool to overcome stress and help you maintain a positive mindset. I recommend you continue to use the audio even after you have stopped smoking as the benefits you receive from playing the audio will enhance the quality of your life and happiness.

After completing this 10 days mind preparation you are ready to read your instructions and begin your last week of smoking. I have written the instructions for your final week of smoking in a separate hub in HubPages which you can access from the link below:
