Below are some tips from Dr. Camille Rodrigues da Silva, pulmonologist, to get rid of cigarest in 2009.
New year, new life. It's always at the turn of the year, we made a pause to reflect, to establish new projects and changes of life for the year that begins. Some managed to meet targets, leaving other year and enter new year and nothing! With the smoke is often so, but need not be, because if you're really prepared (a) to face him, the chance of winning increases significantly!
And stopping smoking is difficult for 2 main reasons: change a behavior that you practice for many years requires discipline, and when there is physical or psychological dependence associated with the difficulty increases.
The good news is that only 20% of regular smokers really need medication to stop smoking, most smokers need some guidance and personal motivation.
And if you're motivated to get rid of cigarettes in 2009, here are some guidelines to help you:
1 - Select a date to stop smoking in the calendar. Marked? Great, start to prepare for the day and decrease the number of cigarettes smoked before the arrival date. The sudden stop is the most associated with success in people who want to stop smoking;
2 - Take away the cigarette. This even organize a ritual of farewell to his style, something more may be booked or a celebration with family. It is important that you prepare for this new life with
cigarest and the farewell will be a milestone of change;
3 - After the farewell, not cigarettes to them. Because in a moment of intense desire to smoke a cigarette or stressful situations is to reach a relapse;
4 - The intense desire to smoke is a discharge of cerebral neurons and takes about 1 minute. Do something to divert your attention in this 1 minute and will have passed. Tips: Drink a glass of water, do a brief walk, focus on something, a Masque gum, etc.;
5 - Change your routine. Identify what are the cigarettes of the day you like and think of strategies to replace these moments of intense desire to smoke. Smoking after lunch is your cigarette more palatable? Lift from the table and go brush your teeth fast. Coffee and cigarettes are inseparable? Do not take coffee in the first 2 weeks, replace it with tea, juice or water;
6 - The most difficult phase without cigarettes is usually the first 3 weeks without smoking. You're changing your habits of life, and also the discharges of neurons and an intense desire to smoke are more frequent. After the third week it tends to be easier and you begin to incorporate the new routines in their day-to-day;
7 - Be positive! Nothing to be crying to miss the cigarette, value their achievements and benefits achieved! Note the improvement in breathing, note the better control of their blood pressure and decrease their heart beats per minute, note the improvement of their taste and
scent of their clothes;
8 - Ask for help. His family are rooting for you and want to help you. Share the calendar of days without smoking with the family and report their achievements, talk about what they are feeling helps a lot. Any additional smoker in the house? Have not leave the cigarette in the house shows, hardly anyone will refuse to help you (a).
Okay, all ready? Date and plan established? I wish success in your new phase of life with a cigarest, very health and wellbeing! And do not let down by lapses, slipped and smoked a cigarette? Get up and start again. The focus will lead you to victory!
