Smokers Quell Craving by Free Quit Tips

(PRWEB) October 6, 2004 -- A craving for a smoke can be almost overwhelming –
but it can be managed.
It’s a law. A craving will peak, then diminish,
states G. T. Hewlett, M.A. , M.P.H..
In one of the free, daily “Quit
Tips” for Smokers, Hewlett recommends a very practical, physiologically sound
method of handling an almost overpowering urge to “light up”.
The secret
lies in knowing how to cope as the craving reaches its peak. One simple,
effective and powerful method is a breathing technique.
Focus on taking
in a very deep breath – a slow breath that bulges out your tummy. Hold the
breath for 5 seconds then gradually exhale through pursed lips –push out all the
air you can. Now take another deep breath, hold it for 5 seconds then gradually
exhale it through pursed lips, as much as you can. Do this deep breathing no
more than 5 times – you may become light headed.
By the time you have
taken 5 deep breaths, you will be able to reaffirm your decision to quit
smoking. You have killed that almost overwhelming craving! There’ll be more, but
you can meet each one with this technique.
Why It Works! You have
provided your brain with added oxygen enabling the frontal lobes to function
more clearly in enforcing your desire and decision not to smoke. In addition,
you have focused your attention on the act of deep breathing. Diverting the
thought process from craving a smoke to performing a specific act, though
temporary, has helped you to gain control of your decision to be smoke
free.
