You have decided to quit smoking.  It's lunch time. You have finished a day's work.....

You finish your meal and ..... subconsciously, you reach for a cigarette.

But then, of course you remember you no longer smoke. 

Bang! 

At that moment, certain gut feelings will arise. 

Feelings of regret........a feeling that you are missing out on something important and then maybe..... terrible feelings of emptiness.....

We all know  how it feels.

But the real question is: How will you deal with this feeling -- this craving to smoke?

Will you just suffer it, try to repress it and hope that it will go away? 

That is one option. The old willpower method.

Or will you give in to the feeling -- and start to smoke again (promising to start again tomorrow)?

Or will you, maybe for the first time ever -  follow our instructions and  actually ALLOW yourself to transform the feeling/craving  so that it is actually enjoyable or at least pleasant or tolerable enough to experience.

You see, when you can do that, you will no longer be AFRAID of these cravings when you quit smoking.

In fact, you will start to WELCOME them because they will give you another opportunity to RESPOND and DEAL with them in this NEW WAY.

This process is the essence of giving up smoking naturally and finding it a pleasant and life-affirming experience.

If you can’t believe all this now, don’t worry.

Be patient.

Just give yourself the opportunity to EXPERIENCE IT FOR YOURSELF !!

Weight -lost?

Can you also now begin to see how these principles  can also apply to losing weight.

You see a beautiful cake. 

You want to eat it....when BANG! -- You remember you are on a diet.

Now watch HOW YOU feel when this happens? 

Couldn't we describe it as ....

'Feelings of regret........a feeling that you are missing out on something important and then maybe..... terrible feelings of emptiness.....

Isn't it essentially the same feeling as not being able to smoke?

However, the real question is the same with smoking: How will you DEAL with this feeling -- this craving to eat?

Will you GIVE IN to it -- and eat the cake or will you try and FORCE yourself not to eat  it- and be miserable?

Why not consider our alternative?

Accept this feeling, this desire to eat. 

But, instead of giving in to it, learn how to deal and respond to it in a NEW way so that you don't MIND experiencing it?

Remember, by applying these same principles, you DO NOT have to gain weight when you give up smoking.
