Think back to your first thoughts surrounding smoking, if you can. You now know that much of the mystique and allure were just manufactured illusions. Refuse to believe those lies any longer.
An understanding of what is real and what is manufactured will help you begin to take back control of your life. With that control comes happiness and freedom.
The psychology principle known as the “Locus of Control”, basically translates to: "Peace of mind is directly related to the degree that we feel we are in control of our lives."
Peace of mind is what we are all after. With it, our lives are more enjoyable and manageable. It’s our natural quest.
Peace of mind is often synonymous with personal happiness and a state of blissfulness.
Freedom and control play very important roles in our peace of mind and happiness. As smokers, we are told where we have to go to smoke, and when we can go there. We must constantly put up with people who don't look favorably at smoking and sometimes even have to show ID to buy them - at a price most smokers feel is too high. That's a lack of control.
Smokers come to believe that smoking is required to relax, control appetite, wake up in the morning and through repetition, it often becomes their reality. That's a big lack of control.
How many times did you make a special trip to the store for a pack of smokes or tear the house apart in a desperate search to satisfy a craving?
This obvious lack of control in our lives is not good for our peace of mind and when peace of mind is what we are all striving for, is it possible for any smoker to be truly comfortable?
Cigarettes have far too much control over our lives to allow us to be genuinely happy and relaxed.
The only way to true happiness – and to feel we are in control of our own lives – is to get control of the smoking habit - and congratulations, you’ve already begun to assume control.
Remember: Knowledge is Power. And you are in the process of absorbing a significant amount of it. You’re well on your way!
