How to Instantly Become a Non-Smoker

Many people who smoke struggle through a long process of weaning themselves off of smoking. Many of them successfully quit and never smoke again, some of them continue to have the urge to smoke and still others are never quite able to give up the habit.

So what exactly is going on inside the mind of a person who smokes? They associate a lot of pleasure to smoking. We all create pictures in our mind of various things. If you were to think of a certain food that you really don’t like, you will find that the picture in your mind is not as nice as the picture of your favorite food. In a similar way, if a non-smoker we to think of themselves smoking, they will have a not so nice picture. If a smoker were to look at the picture in his or her mind of smoking, he or she would have a nicer picture.

The secret to instantly becoming a non-smoker is very simple. It’s so simple in fact that most people don’t believe it really works. The secret is to change the association that you have to smoking. Take that positive association and turn it into a very, very negative association. Let’s walk through the process:

Step 1: Look at the image in your mind of cigarettes. Quickly determine the attributes of that image. Is it bright or dim, large or small, fuzzy or clear, near or far, black and white or color, 3D or flat? Is it a still image or a movie? Is it panoramic or is there a frame around it? What about noise? Are there any sounds associated with the image? Is it an internal sound or an external sound? Where are the sounds coming from? What is the sound? Where is it directed toward? Is it loud or soft? Are there any feelings associated with the image? Where are the feelings coming from? Is there any heat or pressure? Is it an internal feeling or an external feeling?

Step 2: Think of the food that you absolutely hate the worst. Close your eyes and look at the image of this food in your mind. Answer the same questions as in step 1.

Step 3: Switch the attributes of the image of the cigarettes to the attributes of the food that you hate. Make the image just as dreary.

Step 4: Look into the future and see if you are going to want to have a cigarette in a similar situation where you would have, in the past, had a cigarette.

In my career as a coach, I have used this process, among others, to help people quit smoking with fantastic success. The underlying rule behind this secret is that you must absolutely be committed to quitting right now. If you want to quit and you just aren’t committed yet, look into the future and see what your life might be like if you never quit. Make this future as a smoker as negative as possible to be able to get some leverage on yourself. I promise that if you have a strong enough reason to quit and you now know how to do it instantly, there is nothing holding you back from being a non-smoker with this process.
