Tips To Quit Smoking: Once you get into any addiction like smoking, it is not easy to leave it. Especially when you have people with similar habits around you. But it is best to give up smoking and alcohol in any case. Many times people are not able to do this even after lakhs of efforts. Sometimes under the pressure of friends and sometimes due to craving, they again fall in the grip of this addiction. Today we are here to tell you about a slightly surprising but very effective theory, a Dutch psychologist doing a PhD in quitting smoking has developed a special theory, which can help you…
psychological questionnaire
Psychologist Aline Meijer, during her research, allowed people to complete a questionnaire about quitting smoking. It also had a few sentences explaining how and why they see themselves as non-smokers. During the research Meijer found that “people who were able to imagine themselves as a non-smoker were more likely to be successful in quitting smoking,” Meijer goes on to say. People who had quit smoking but did not see themselves as non-smokers were more likely to start smoking again.”
behavior according to identity
How do you see yourself without a cigarette and what is your identity different from a cigarette smoker, it is very important for a person who wants to quit smoking. It’s like going to the park every day to run in the park with full dedication and passion for the person who wants to look like an athlete. Wants to look more fit and attractive. Instead of those who do not think anything like this about themselves at all. That is, if you connect the achievement of your goal with your identity, then it becomes easier to achieve the goal.
Together they are needed
To quit an addiction, along with motivation, medicines and some supportive therapies are also needed. Such as nicotine patches and other therapies, which psychologists give to their patients according to their condition. Aline Meijer says that how you want to see yourself, when it is clear in your mind then it is much easier for you to quit cigarettes. So ask yourself the question that what am I without cigarettes?
