How to Handle the Little Voice in You that Tries to Persuade You Not to Quit Smoking

 Quitting smoking is no easy task, and while it may seem like a challenge at first, it is entirely possible to break the habit and enjoy a healthier lifestyle. One hurdle to getting started is dealing with the little voice in your head that tries to convince you not to change your lifestyle. That voice pleads with you every time you think of making a change, telling you to just have one more cigarette or to try and quit tomorrow. But no matter how strong that voice is, it’s more possible than ever to ignore it and take the plunge.

The first step in handling the little voice in your head is to recognize it and acknowledge it. Despite that voice trying to talk you out of it, you have to know that quitting smoking is in your best interest. Keep reminding yourself that you are doing this for your own well-being and that there are real benefits to quitting.

The next step is to be proactive in making progress. This could mean anything from replacing the smoking habit with a healthier alternative to making a plan and setting goals. Writing down your goals on paper or on a computer and following them is a great way to stay on track. Watching yourself make progress is also a great way to keep yourself motivated.

It's no secret that smoking cigarettes is one of the most dangerous and costly habits out there. Smoking can damage your health in a multitude of ways, from increasing your risk of developing lung cancer to creating life-long physical and psychological damage. And yet, quitting smoking often feels overwhelming and impossible. This is because of the little voice inside all of us that tells us that smoking's not so bad, that we can do it every once in a while, or that we just can't quit. But in reality, even the slightest amount of smoking can have serious negative effects.

One way to handle this little voice is to change your thinking. For example, instead of focusing on the fact that stopping smoking will be difficult and require a lot of time and effort, focus on the rewards that come with quitting. For instance, you'll be able to breathe easier, exercise without feeling exhausted, have more energy, and have a greater sense of wellbeing overall. In addition, you'll see a huge saving in your wallet not having to buy cigarettes and related supplies.

When the little voice taunts you, find a way to counteract its attempts to sabotage your plans. Practices like meditation and deep breathing help to clear your mind and allow you to think more constructively. Or as another option, take some time to do something you enjoy, like listening to music, reading a book, or going out on a walk. Doing something you enjoy will make you feel more grounded and capable of ignoring the little voice in your head.


Finally, make sure you stay social after you quit. Keep your circle of family and friends informed about your progress and strive to find support networks such as quit-smoking classes and forums. Seeing that other people are joining you in your mission to stop smoking can bolster your self-confidence and make it easier to stick to your healthy decisions.

Should You Stop Smoking Before Surgery? - Yes!

  Should I try to stop smoking before surgery? That's a decision that many people are faced. Let me say right from the beginning that I am not a medical professional. I am not giving medical advice. I'm not telling anyone what they should or should not do. I'm simply looking at a topic that a lot of people talk about, or have concerns about, and I’m simply discussing my opinions about that topic. I have said many times in my videos it's been 15 years since I stopped smoking cigarettes, and during that time, I did end up in the hospital with non-related health problems. I ended up having to spend a number of overnights in the hospital, and I know when I was it was a cigarette smoker, I was very concerned about how smokers have to handle hospital stays. I did not have any idea how I would handle it. What would I do if I ended up in a hospital where I cannot smoke? I assume that most hospitals do not allow cigarette smoking. Considering the oxygen lines, medications, and e

What Do You Tell Your Teenager That Wants to Smoke Cigarettes Like You?

What Do You Tell Your Teenager That Wants to Smoke Cigarettes Like You? What do you tell your teenager that wants to smoke cigarettes like you? This is a tough question to answer. If you're a cigarette smoker, like I was, and you have children, as I do, there's going to come to a point when you will likely face this question. If your kids grew up with you smoking, or your spouse or partner smoking, at some point most kids want to emulate their parents. They see their parents as role models. A parent is in many ways a hero to their child, someone that doesn’t do things that are wrong. If they see you smoke, it tells them it’s ok for them to smoke. A parent is someone they can look up to. Someone they can trust. A child learns that if they copy a major league baseball player, for example, or a professional football player, the chance of them seeing the same success increases. See greatness. Copy greatness. Achieve greatness. A child’s parent is the superhero to most children gro

How To Stop Smoking Tobacco?

  How To Stop Smoking Tobacco? If you want to know how to stop smoking tobacco I think I can help. My name is Bill and I'm an ex-smoker.  I quit some time ago and I urge everybody that if you smoke, and you want to stop smoking tobacco, start by taking a step back from the whole process. Think to yourself - what is it right now that you really like about smoking? You could even make a written list if you want to sit down and do so, but at least have a mental list in your head. Then I urge you to sit down and think about the things you don't like about smoking.  What happened to me, at least when I was still a smoker, is I found out that I was just always captive to the next step in my day of smoking. What I mean is that I would get up in the morning, and one of the first things I wanted to do, and that need in my body was, to have a cigarette. So I’d have to start the day with a cigarette. In my case, at least for a number of years before I quit smoking, I did stop smoking insi
