Smoking cigarette is an unconscious habit. You simply acting like a machine. You are smoking since years and this regular smoking creates a neurological path in your brain. Then whenever you feel stress you smoke. Now this sets an anchor in your brain. Stress triggers the anchor and you feel like you need to smoke. You feel lonely and the button is pressed, you need to smoke. Old friend meets and again an anchor is fired, you want to smoke. So this is vicious circle.
Your desire to quit smoke is always weak than the force of desire of smoke. So you quit smoking for few days or weeks and again return back. This is the tragedy. Second thing you don't know what to do if you stop smoking. So there is a void which needs to be filled and again you return back.
This happens again and again 100's of time and you stop quiting the cigarette.
Now there is another way, and this way is a sure way. Don't quit smoking. Just BE ALERT while you are smoking. Watch your mechanical behavior. Just how mechanically you act like a programmed machine. And this is very interesting. Till date you have smoked unconsciously, now smoke consciously. Drop the thought of quit smoking. Instead enjoy smoking and watch yourself with awareness.
What will happen if you watch consciously while you smoke?
It will break the habit!!!
Surprised?
Habit is a mechanical behavior, and it can not survive in the light of attention. You are never mindful or aware while you are smoking. You are never present. You are always escaping from the moment. But when you are watchful and alert, you are in the moment and the unconscious pattern is broken. If you smoke regularly with awareness then in few weeks you will notice your urge for smoking is fading away.Very soon you will become a smoke free person easily and effortlessly. This way you will never need any substitute for cigarette. And you will never turn back again to smoking.
