Tips After Quitting Smoking
Quitting smoking is one of the goals of many people to achieve better living, gaining in quality of life and health. Much has been written on methods to get leave, which is not easy, and will continue talking about it for a long time.
It is least talked about those moments that continue to get leave, those moments still smoking occurs in the mind of the ex-smoker suddenly, seeing one in someone’s hand, or simply to receive a smell.
A series of tips for immediately after quitting, some seem a bit naive, but others are fully usable. Therefore, we have chosen to play.
Any help is small and if someone serves it, so be it:
- During the first days after quitting, spend as much time as possible in public places where smoking is not permitted as in libraries, malls, museums, theaters, restaurants without a bar, etc.
- Do not drink alcohol, coffee or other drinks you associate with smoking. Instead, try drinking a variety of other drinks. Try different types of fruit juices and flavored waters. This may be the time to indulge in a variety of interesting teas you have never tried.
- If you miss the feeling of having a cigarette in his hand, put a substitute in his hand like a pencil, paper clip, a coin or marble for example.
- Avoid temptation by staying away from situations you associate with smoking pleasure.
- Brush your teeth and enjoy the refreshing taste.
- Eat several small meals a day instead of one or two large meals. This maintains constant levels of blood sugar, keeping your energy in balance and helps prevent the urge to smoke. Avoid sweets or spicy foods that may cause the desire for a cigarette.
- Above all, reward yourself. Do this as often as appropriate to keep their motivation. Plan something fun as a reward for doing your best.
- Keep within reach oral substitutes like carrots, cucumbers, apples, celery, raisins, or gum.
- Learn to relax quickly and deeply. Become a languid feel. Visualize a calming and pleasant situation and forget about everything for a moment. Concentrate on that peaceful image only.
- Tell yourself “no”. Say it out loud. Practice this several times and listen to yourself. Other things you can say for yourself are: “I am very strong to give in smoking,” “I am a former smoker” or “I do not want to disappoint my friends and family.”
- Never allow yourself to think that “one will not hurt me” because it will make.
