The decision to stop smoking will be one of the most important and best things you will ever do in your life. With this in mind it is crucial that you get off on the right foot. If you are not mentally ready to kick the habit then unfortunately, your chances of success will be diminished.
You may have seen a TV program about the health risks of smoking and decided that you ought to quit. This is great but as time passes the memory of the program will tend to fade and this can have an adverse effect on your will power and motivation. I quit six years ago and one of the things that really helped me was to make a list of the reasons I wanted to break my addiction. Your list might be different from mine but here’s an example.
1 – I want to be fitter and healthier not just for my own well being but so that I can enjoy my time with the children and join in with them playing rather than just sitting down to watch.
2 – I want to live longer and have more energy to enjoy my life.
3 – I’m tired of my breath, hands, clothes and hair smelling of smoke.
4 – I’m sick of the control nicotine has over me and I really want to do something about it.
It’s been a while, but if I remember correctly my list had about fifteen reasons on it. The beauty of writing them down is that it helps you to remain focused and driven. It is especially helpful if you’re having a rough day and you’re tempted to have a cigarette. Keep your list with you at all times for as long as you need it.
