Natural Steps To Quit Smoking

There are many techniques to quit smoking. Some involve using aids like nicotine sprays, gum or inhalers while others use anti-depressants or the patch. Many people prefer to try to go cold turkey hoping to be able to deal with it on their own without any artificial means to get them through. For this group there are some alternatives that may help while still maintaining a natural approach to quitting. One suggested method has to do with breathing techniques. It is a modified version of a yoga exercise that has excellent results for those trying to quit.
When the craving for a cigarette starts take in a deep breath. Get as much air as you can and then slowly let to back out. Relax as best you can as you are breathing out. Close your eyes and then let you head fall until your chin is on your chest. As the air leaves think about the stress you are feeling leaving with it. This relaxation method works very well. Each time you crave a cigarette try it three times and see how much better you feel. During the first week make sure you drink a lot of water and other liquids, though coffee and alcohol are discouraged during this early phase. Drinking lots of liquids helps to flush your system of the nicotine.
The craving for a cigarette will fade away pretty quickly. It only lasts a few minutes and this breathing technique will help to make it go away. Each day you will notice that the cravings come further apart. This is the beauty of taking natural steps to quit smoking. You see and feel the results of your own efforts and know that you did it with your own inner strength.
If you are serious about quitting smoking then there are many yoga techniques that will help you. It would be good to consider either taking a few yoga classes tor purchasing a tape or book with direction for various yoga exercises. Smoking is a habit that is frequently worsened under times of stress so what better way to quit than to find a way to relax more and so crave the cigarettes less. If you prefer to work out at a gym this too is a good alternative and will help both alleviate stress and channel your energy into something that does not include smoking.
There are other physical things you can do to help get through the early difficult days of quitting. Go swimming, jog, or take long walks. Get a massage, go for a steam bath, sit in a hot tub or go dancing with friends. Change your daily routines so that those times you would normally reach for a cigarette are replaced with other activities.
Smoking is a twofold problem and you need to handle both aspects of it. That means taking care of the physical and emotional addictions to smoking. If you work with your inner strengths you can succeed in quitting smoking using only those natural methods you choose.
