10 Signs It's Time to Quit Smoking

10. You have Stomach Ulcers. We all know with normal digestion, food moves from the mouth, down the esophagus, into the stomach. Then the stomach produces hydrochloric acid which helps digest the food. What many don’t know, is that smoking increases your chances of getting stomach ulcers. It slows down the rate that food is digested, which also prolongs the time the acid is in your stomach, hence increases your chances for an ulcer to form. Smoking also slows the healing of existing ulcers. 9. Heartburn/Acid Reflux.

How Are You Listening?

We all do it. When someone is speaking to us, part of our attention is diverted to our agenda - what we may have been thinking about before, what we could be doing instead, and most often, how we can volley back with our cleverly crafted retort to the anticipated storyline. It’s human nature to jump ahead of another speaker in our minds and prepare to reply. And unquestionably, some amount of this is needed to successfully dialogue back and forth. However, we often miss much content and intended meaning when we allow our minds to wander too far away from the present moment.

Quit Smoking Tip: Use this Stress Buster to Help You Stop Smoking

One of the things I hear a lot from smokers in my Toronto (Ontario, Canada) hypnosis quit smoking clinic is "I smoke to relax". If smoking really was relaxing then the more you smoked the more relaxed you'd be and chain smokers would be the most relaxed people on the planet. Do you know anyone who chain smokes and is really relaxed? I certainly don't. The fact is that nicotine is a powerful stimulant, and the minute it enters your bloodstream, your heart beat speeds up 10 to 15 beats a minute in an attempt to get rid of the poison you've just inhaled.

When is Addiction a Choice?

Even those who are raised under seemingly disadvantaged circumstances ultimately have a decision to make. They can either continue along their same abysmal path, perpetuating their own poor health and unhappiness, or make their own future. We have all heard the rags to riches stories.

Releasing the Tiger

Did you know that it has been only recently that the human race has been dealing with a pandemic called stress??? Our reaction is referred to as the fight or flight response. It is an instinctive reaction to what originally might have been an attack by a wild animal (saber tooth tiger for example) that threatened our very survival. Our brain's cognitive functions are put on hold while the blood rushes to our extremities to allow for fight or flight action. If the tiger is coming at you, you don't want to stand there analyzing the situation...you want to fight or flee.

I don't believe it is necessary to eliminate the actual memory that is causing a negative response...but rather, one can eliminate the negative response and still maintain the memory. I have found when working with sexual abuse victims and PTSD clients, that they will often hit a wall during recovery if they feel they must 'forget' everything. As one client said..."I don't want to forget what has happened to me.
