Introduction
Lets get started
Congratulations on making the choice to start this program. Youre about to help yourself look younger, feel younger, gain financial success and improve your life exponentially. More importantly, youre going to be able to help others and the world around you.
Ill take you on a journey through the human psyche and physical body for you to learn the effects and implications of smoking. You will understand and defeat smoking you have been a slave to it for too long. By the end of this book you will have the knowledge, reasoning, beliefs, strategies and tools to help you stop smoking.
We will follow a structured format which will allow you to absorb and utilise the information in the most effective way. Ill take you through some familiar territory and explore some options you may not have considered. This is an interactive program so theres space for you to pen your responses to any questions I pose throughout this book. After you have completed the program once from cover to cover you may re-visit any section you wish to clarify or reinforce any points.
How it will work for you will depend upon how you apply yourself to the next few hours youll need to give it your all to see the benefits.
You need to enter this program with:
a relaxed, refreshed mind
a view to gaining a new lease of life and enjoying yourself more
the prospect of gaining more time and energy to achieve the things you want and desire
no preconceived ideas about stopping smoking
a willingness to participate fully and follow all of the instructions given.
After I finished writing Escape from Debt my father came to me with some research material and one request: to write a book that would help him to stop smoking. It is his belief in my ability to teach (I have taught martial arts and fitness successfully since the age of 16) that has helped me to complete this program. The fact that I care about him and have seen the troubles he has gone through in his particular journey has made this book a true labour of love. Not only the trust and belief in yourself but also your trust in me and belief in my abilities will allow you to successfully enter this new phase of your life.
Im going to show you how to free your mind from a program that has had you in its clutches for too long. I will teach you to be able to shift your focus and energy to more worthwhile pursuits your family, friends, self-improvement, health and weight loss to name a few. Ill show you how the brain works and how the links to substances that make you feel good are created. By understanding how links are created and how they work you can consciously be aware of their power to switch you into automatic mode. This new level of awareness will give you the strength to make the changes you require.
You will be able to begin and complete the transition without spending another cent of your hard-earned money. Im going to show you how you can get the most out of your life and have as much as you desire.
It is my belief you will find the trigger today that will detonate the old program and create a new and empowered life.
This will be a completely natural solution with the only side effects listed as:
a sense of inner strength
a heightened feeling of self-belief
a feeling of complete resolution
more time for you to enjoy your life and the people around you.
Today it will be you who wins.
Instructions
Its time now to get prepared. Here is what you will need:
1 A pen, preferably red, green or blue so that it contrasts against the black ink on these pages.
2 A box of white tissues (youll see why later, and no, Im not going to upset you!).
3 Your cigarettes and your lighter/matches.
4 A waste basket.
5 A tennis ball or soft rubber ball.
6 A glass of cold, filtered or spring water (no ice squeeze of lemon juice is optional). Coffee, tea, juice, alcohol and carbonated or sugary drinks are not going to help you to concentrate as they all contain stimulants.
