Cigarette Butts

With 2021 before us, what old behaviors, beliefs, and habits are you committed to changing for a better new year and new you? We all know a family member or a friend that is struggling with some addictive behavior. Many of them set New Year’s goals and resolutions that seldom last sixty days. This blog post is for people with addictions like TOBACCO but the proven principles can be applied to any addiction such as alcohol abuse, couch potato, depression, drug abuse, gambling, obesity, overeating, pornography, serial shopping, or social media mania. Making New Year’s resolutions to be happy, healthy, and in harmony is not enough. The key to transformation is to understand the old emotional patterns, limiting beliefs, and parental programming that show up and then learn new strategies, suggestions, and systems to create lasting change and progress.

“Good intentions and will power are not enough to correct addictive behavior and create lasting change for a happier and healthier life.” — Michael Morningstar

To be happy, healthy, and in harmony, all year long requires a Vision and Mastery Action Plan (MAP) to direct your life like Google Maps uses GPS to guide your movements and travel. After decades of studying human psychology combined with researching and reviewing the mastery action plans of many super successful people and lots of immersion in the intelligent pursuit of rapid results, the following long list became self-evident. Peak performance and personal development require recipes, resources, and role models to help growth and transformation.

Hopefully, you read the previous blog post about the benefits of NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) tapping, and Vision Boards/ Life MAPs as three super strategies to transform any area of your life with rapid results. If not when would now be a great time to read it and build the foundation for a great new year and new you?

Abuse, Anger, and Anxiety Addictions

Skull And Crossbones Skull Stop

My father was a smoker and it really bothered and worried me starting in my early teen years. My brother died from lung cancer after many years of smoking and suffering from it. One of my uncles died from lung cancer after a lifetime of smoking. Several family members of family and friends have either died of cancer and or suffered from severe COPD from TOBACCO use. So this topic has a powerful personal meaning for me. Fortunately, even in those days, there were Public Service announcements warning about the dangers of smoking. Unfortunately, there were so many ads, commercials, promoters, and tobacco products circulating it was hard not to be drawn to their poison propaganda. Consider this blog like a public service announcement broadcast to help people around the world stop smoking and using all TOBACCO products.

It is a little embarrassing to admit that there was a time in my late teens and early twenties when I experimented with tobacco and smoked cigars, cigarettes, and later even did chewing TOBACCO. When I look back now I am not exactly sure why, but my belief is the allure, commercials, connections with my father, exposure when young, mental brainwashing, modeling my father and programming had an influence. When I was in college ROTC and the US Army in the 70’s they gave four cigarettes and matches in every C Ration (military specification meal in a box). Many people started using cigarettes and other TOBACCO products while serving in military service. They even had smoking breaks and would say “smoke them if you got them”. Unfortunately, most had them and became addicted.

Luckily my core values and vision for my future inspired and motivated me to find many ways to stop that crazy behavior and never go back. I realize now that there are so many emotional and mental factors involved in addition to the physical addiction that occurs so it gets harder and harder over time to stop TOBACCO and replace unhealthy habits with healthy ones. It must become part of your identity and lifestyle rules at the deepest level of your DNA, RNA, and soul.

The more tools in your toolbox the more techniques, tips, and tools you have to get yourself emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually primed and ready for the walk through the valley of death and come out through the transformation portal to be happier and healthier.

Some of these Stop Smoking Strategies will be easier to read and some will be harder to accept. They are not meant to be condescending, critical, or judgmental. Coaching requires identifying the challenges and issues and coming up with lots of viable solutions and suggestions to help. Do yourself a favor and read through the entire list one time being receptive and open and without being defensive or insulted. See which ones resonate with you first and try them on and try them out to see what will help.

Accumulated Conditions Emotional Stress (ACES) score can be a good indicator of early childhood issues. Early life events of anxiety, stress, and trauma often result in unhealthy behavior and can benefit from techniques and tips from therapy and training. Unresolved hurt from childhood can lead to anger and anxiety that triggers the desire for TOBACCO Time (TT).

Anything you can do to help, honor, respect, and support them is appreciated.
  183. The victory sign is a V made with the first and second fingers. Use this sign to remember you deserve and desire Victory over TT. The other sign to think about is the first finger and thumb in the L shape which stands for looser. It is your choice to be an L or V depending on what is most important to you in life or for some death.
  184. Vision Boards are a great way to clear and focused on your values, vision, and passion purpose in life. By focusing on your empowering vision board first thing in the morning and several times during the day it can help you maintain your resilience and resolve to go through some short term pain for lots of long term pleasure.
  185. Vision Quests are powerful programs to face your fears and live your dreams. A vision quest involves investing time in nature and yourself. It is often done at an early age but anytime is a great time for a vision quest. Find a camping or retreat type setting where you can be by yourself to journal, think, and visualize your life from birth to present and observe the path you are on now for your future. There are life lessons you have learned and things you still have time to change, enjoy, and learn to create more joy, happiness, and peace in your life. Consider doing a vision quest and then return home with ideas for a vision board to help remind you each day of your values and visions.
  186. Visualization is a powerful process, too. The book Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz M.D. can help. Psycho-Cybernetic Principles for Creative Living is also a great book to help you visualize your way back to happiness, health, and harmony.
  187. Visualize dirty stinking butts in your mouth, then visualize dirty stinking butts of cats, cows, dogs, horses, and people. Dirty butts in the mouth and dirty butts that get wiped. Just keep thinking about the similarity of one type of dirty butt to the other type of dirty butt. How do they smell? Both butts stink don’t they? You get the picture…right? Once the picture gets in your head every time you look at a cigarette butt you will think of a dirty dog’s butt and laugh. At least I hope you laugh rather than crave a dirty stinking butt in your mouth. Yuk!
  188. Vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K are essential for happiness and health. Be sure you are taking organic whole foods vitamins.
  189. Walking is a wonderful way to exercise and relax. When you walk in a mindful way you can see, sense, and smell the world around you
  190. Walking on fire, grass, pebbles, sand and in water can all help change your life.
  191. Watch yourself in a mirror as you use TOBACCO. Record it and watch what you do during the entire process. It will give you clues to help stop.
  192. Water can work wonders to reduce cravings and dehydration. Drink sixteen ounces of warm water thirty minutes before any TT.
  193. WiFi off at night helps reduce Electro-Magnetic Frequency (EMF) exposure and can help allow better sleep.
  194. Workouts early in the morning are wonderful ways to start the day and get an endorphin boost.
  195. Yaupon leaves from a shrub/small tree has been used for hundreds of years as a coffee substitute and medicinal tea.
  196. Yerba mate is a classic beverage in Brazil that can help replace TOBACCO time cravings and urges.
  197. Yoga for ten minutes before TOBACCO time can calm the body and brain naturally.
  198. Zen garden meditation is a fantastic way to reduce stress. A kit includes a rake, rocks, and sand that are meticulously raked every day.
