Distract Yourself From Cigarettes
October 10th, 2008
Take your mind off smoking when you are going to quit smoking. The only thing that can help to distract you away from cigarettes is to get busy. When you are busy doing something, often you will forget the needs for smoking and therefore stop smoking.
There are many activities you can do to take your mind away from smoking. If you are interested in gardening why not spend your time in the garden and tending to your plants and flowers. You can also try to plant some vegetables and the best thing is you get to spend time doing something great rather than just smoking and in the end you get the fruit of your labour.
If you enjoy reading, go to the library instead of staying at home to read. When you read at home, there is an urge to smoke because there is no “NO Smoking” rule at home but when you are out in the library, you are not allowed to smoke in the library by law. This will definitely help you to quit smoking.
However, if you like to socialise, you can always join a group such as knitting group, book club or even the community centre to spend your time contributing to your group. For instance, if you join the community centre, you get to know more people and you can help out when there is an event in your area. There are so many clubs and groups available and I am sure there is one for you.
To overcome shyness, you need to meet more people. Some people shy away from the community, which is bad because you are isolating yourself from other people. No one would be able to help you if you do not mingle with the others. Break the ice by chatting with the locals about their lives and hobbies. This way, you will be more open to others and willing to accept their help when you need it especially when you are on a quit smoking program.
