How To Stop Smoking: Develop
New Interests
Plan your day
in such a way that you have something enjoyable to do at
the end of the day. It does not have to be something that
involves money. I do not want you end up bankrupt. It can
be something as simple as spending some time with the family
playing a board game or something. Or it can be going out
for a walk together.
But I would like
to add that watching television just does not fit into this
list. The reason is because T.V. is not something that demands
too much of your attention. You can easily do something else
while you are watching TV and what can be easier than taking
a smoke while your eyes are glued to it. While you are
working on breaking the habit of smoking, you need to move
about with people. You need the company of people who can
take your mind off that craving and TV doesn’t help you do
that at all.
Make a list of
those things that build up your stress level. Try to steer
clear of them. If that is not possible, try to find some
stress
busters and use them. Do not use stress as an excuse
to start smoking. There are a hundred other methods of beating
stress.
As mentioned earlier, you could try breathing exercises,
mediation or even music. There is another excellent way of
beating stress and that is by using a distressing ball. If
you do not have one of those, try wriggling your fingers
and toes. That too is a natural method of beating stress.
The point that
I am trying to drive home is that you need
a break from whatever you have been doing for this exercise
of quitting to work. Since it is impossible to change your
job or your home, you have to bring about as many changes
as possible to get that whole new feeling.
Develop
New Interests
Try developing
new interests or hobbies like gardening or painting. Such
things will keep your mind off that urge to smoke. All of
us have a certain measure of creativity that often remains
untapped. It would be a wonderful thing if you could try
working on that creativity. Join a dance class or a drama
class. Or you could try learning a new skill like pottery
or clay modeling. Try to involve yourself with other people.
Do some social work, or try helping out at local volunteer
organizations.
Do not feel shy
to tell these new acquaintances that you are trying to quit
smoking. You will be surprised at how understanding people
will be. The advantage of doing such things is that it not
only takes away all your brooding time but it also
makes your life a whole lot richer. In other words, it lends
a lot of meaning to your life so that you will become accountable
to more and more people.
Such activities
make us appreciate the meaning of life in a better way and
you will stop to think twice before you waste away this life
at the end of a cigarette.
