Very few people walk into my clinic and say “I feel perfectly good about myself and all I need to do is to quit smoking”. Most people have some back story running which is to some extent keeping their smoking problem alive and making it harder for them to quit.

Your life revolves around these problems, so taking the desire away to smoke is not straight forward. What you need is a more comprehensive approach to their problem.

Here are 7 actions you can take to properly prepare yourself to quit smoking if you have any of the above challenges.

A big part is about self-regulating the way your mind works. It can be simple actions like prolonged deep breathing which can positively affect brain chemicals. Do a few minutes twice a day or more of box breathing. Breathe deeply for the count of 4. Hold for 4, breathe out for 4, hold for 4, and keep repeating the cycle. This was developed to calm navy seals during dangerous encounters.

Do this especially when thinking about quitting if it causes you any distress, as well as to manage your emotions throughout your day

2. Detox your digestion, because we have lots of lymphatic tissue in the gut and it is here that we manufacture many of the neuro transmitters that we need for proper mental function. Reduce sugar, junk food and alcohol.

3. Drink plenty of water to ensure your brain is properly hydrated, which means your mind electrics are doing the best they can.

4. Ensure your diet is rich in vegetables and fruits and quality meats but low in fatty and sugary junk foods, because these poor foods seriously interfere with your thinking and decision making.

5. Regular exercise helps emotional health, so just do it! Take some time for a walk every day, you can easily do some box breathing while you are walking.

6. Start taking some B Vitamins. Blackmores executive stress 1 morning and one at lunch will be very helpful. Plus a blackmores magnesium tablet morning & night.

7. Imagine yourself easily and calmly going through your day as a non smoker, and tell yourself regularly that you will be a non smoker on x date, and you will feel so much better for it.
