Do you want to know the least effective and most frustrating way to try to quit smoking? Will power!

Yet this is the most common way that smokers use to try and quit smoking! Does the term “going cold turkey” sound familiar?

You see, when you try to use will power to break an unwanted habit, you are unwittingly focusing on the very habit you want to break. One of the laws of the mind is that what ever you focus on will begin to expand and multiply!

The more you focus on not smoking, the stronger your desire will become because you are still focusing on the unwanted habit of smoking! It’s like you’ve created a vicious cycle that keeps you going around and around like a dog chasing it’s own tail!

There’s a better way! Why not select a positive goal and focus your full time and energies towards that end?

What would happen if instead of not smoking your positive goal was to protect your body? Think about it? If your goal now is to protect your body, you will begin to focus on the many ways in which you can protect your body.

Maybe you will begin eating healthier foods or drinking more water or learning stress management.

Your entire focus is now on how to protect your body and not on quitting smoking! This takes away a tremendous amount of stress and is infinitely easier than trying to use will power to quit smoking!
