Quit Smoking with Affirmations: A Powerful Guide

If you want to stop smoking, one way to do it is to use daily affirmations. Affirmations make their way into your subconscious and decrease your desire to smoke. Affirmations can be used on their own to help a person quit smoking or in conjunction with another smoking cessation method.

Instructions

• 1

  Write a script. Think of phrases that will convince you that you do not need to smoke. For example, you could use "I am a non-smoker who feels great about life."

• 2

  Keep all affirmations in the present tense. Instead of writing "I will be a healthy non-smoker," you should write "I am a healthy non-smoker."

• 3

  Push out negative thoughts. When you create your affirmations and use them daily, try to keep any negative thoughts at bay. Many smokers focus on their need for a cigarette. These types of thoughts delay the cessation process.

• 4

  Place affirmations in places where you will see them often. Put them on your screensaver at work, on your bathroom mirror and the refrigerator door.

• 5

  Record a CD with your stop smoking affirmations. Make a CD that you can listen to while driving or relaxing at home. Affirmations only work if they are used often.

• 6

  Let your mind focus on the words. Concentrate on the words and what they mean to you. Picture yourself healthy and as a non-smoker.
