With social pressures and stressful work schedules, ‘giving up’ might be easier said than done. A common issue for a lot of smokers is how to deal with daily stresses they’re faced with.
Learn to recognise the signs of stress - the sooner you deal with stress, the less likely it will interfere with your efforts to quit.
One of the first steps to consider is setting a finish date to stop.
Up until this point you can continue to smoke as you normally would, but remember that this is your deadline - don’t try to cut down beforehand, that just makes cigarettes seem more precious rather than less so.
For a lot of people, smoking is a huge part of dealing with stress, but there are simple ways to cut out cigarettes and still cope with everyday ups and downs.
Our bodies respond to stress by releasing hormones that increase your heart rate and raise your blood pressure. Practicing relaxation techniques, like the ones below, may improve your health and help you handle your stress in positive ways.
These techniques will keep you focused on something other than smoking and might teach you a new trick or two.
Be prepared...
Prospects like nicotine withdrawal can make the journey to a healthier lifestyle seem daunting, so it's important that you're prepared during the first stages of giving up!
Consider the cost!
On top of this, a common reason to quit is cost - consider the cost of your addiction and what else you could buy with that money!
