Letting Go Of The Guilty Cigarette
Letting Go Of The Guilty Cigarette
By Ian Newton Submitted On April 28, 2017
Just recently I went into the home of an acquaintance and they seemed to look a little guilty. It seemed kind of odd until I smelled the tell-tale odor of cigarettes. I didn't realise this person smoked, and given by profession they preferred for me not to know.
I have no judgement on this person or any other smoker, I'm just there when they need to quit. This person is not alone in the category of secret smoker. I have had many clients over the years, who smoked only in private, but felt guilty because in many instances they were very healthy otherwise.
They go to the gym, or yoga and eat a good diet, but the mere fact they smoke affects their self-image and they feel bad and often embarrassed.
I'd ask you to consider all that smoking has offered you and all that it has taken from your life. I'm sure one important feeling that you would like to recapture is that of being congruent within yourself.
That is that your thoughts and feelings about yourself match up with your actions. I am directing this to the many smokers who do lead healthy lives but with the exception of sucking in burning toxic smoke into their lungs and blood vessels.
In this world most of us struggle with self-esteem and self-image issues so this is one way you can make positive changes, and who knows what the extent of this change in self-image could lead to.
A new job?
A new or improved relationship?
Better fitness and being able to participate better in your chosen sport or activity.
For one client it was getting out and meeting people in her retirement village quitting ended her lonely secluded life.
For another it stopped the emotional pain of sitting outside smoking while her young children looked through the glass door fearing their mum would be taken by the evil cigarettes (their words)
Several people have joined their friends surfing and their fitness improved and their stress reduced with this great activity, which was too taxing for them to do properly as smokers.
Many people returned to the gym and their long lost fitness programmes and quickly enjoyed the energy and the company of healthy people.
And countless people continue to enjoy a meal out or a coffee without having to leave the table to smoke.
So what will quitting smoking mean to you. Hypnosis could change your life in about 90 minutes.
