It is really amazing to me. I was so excited the other day while driving at work on the realization that I'm a non-smoker that I had to scream in delight. Too cool. Keep up the great work you're doing for people. Thank you again so much! I didn't think that I would ever be able to pull this off and you have made it possible for me. I can't tell you how much that means. Sincerely, Kim - Frisco, TX |
We found Darren Hiller to be very kind, professional and knowledgeable. He also followed up with us and made us feel important as he really cared for our well-being. Darren did not treat us as just another client. Darren not only provided the hypnotherapy, he studied out our specific needs for future goals and made encouraging CD's for us to listen to at night. We would recommend to anyone considering hypnotherapy to meet with and to discuss aspects of your future goals with Darren." Thanks, Christie - Plano, TX |
10 Steps to Stop Smoking by Darren Hiller, CH 1. Believe you can quit. Studies have shown that belief that you can quite is the most important trait in successful quitters. 2. You must be motivated. Ask yourself on a scale of 1 – 10 (Ten being the most) how motivated you are? If you are not at least an 7, you are not ready. If you are not quite ready, write a list of the reasons you want to quit, and put it on a bulletin board. Also, write down all the health risks involved with from smoking (Smoking-related diseases claim an estimated 430,700 American lives each year, cigarette smoke contains over 4,800 chemicals, 69 of which are known to cause cancer, about 8.6 million people in the U.S. have at least one serious illness caused by smoking.)

Each day before your Quit Date, write in your calendar (__ days till I quit smoking), mentally prepare yourself that you will be quitting on that day. Like many thousands before you, choose a safe and natural method to quit smoking. Hypnosis is the most effective method according to MedScape Medical News. Plan to have water, gum, and healthy foods to offset your smoking triggers. Find a support group, friend, or a quit buddy who you can share your experience with. 4. Work with a Certified Hypnotist on the day of your Quit Date. Show up for your appointment. Throw away all your cigarettes, ashtrays, any other related paraphernalia. Listen to your reinforcement CD at least once day for a few weeks. Hypnosis will help you with your triggers, and give you tools to help you reinforce your decision to quit. 5. Make a list of all your triggers. I smoked when I felt, bored, stressed, with coffee, after a meal, in my car etc.. Make a second list of all the activities you will do instead of smoking. Healthy dis-tractors like reading a book, going for a walk, working in your garden, taking a deep breath, chewing gum, lifting weights, riding a bike, listening to music, drinking water. 6. Use Daily Affirmation and place in on your fridge, mirror, or at your desk. Say them to yourself 10 times each morning, afternoon, and evening. I am Happy, Healthy, and smoke-free, Everyday I choose to breathe fresh air into my lungs. Today I am a proud and healthy non-smoker. 7. Tell a Spouse, Friend, or co-worker that will hold you accountable If you are held accountable by someone else it may help you to quit. Signing a contract, may make it more official. Find a support group locally or online. 8. Daily Exercise If you do not currently have an exercise regiment, start off by walking 10 minutes each day. This will help you release any daily stress. 9. In the beginning, reward your self each day with with a healthy and safe reward. Some inexpensive reward ideas are flowers, a book, and an apple. 10. Don’t give up! This is one of the best decisions you have made in your life. 1000’s of people do it everyday, you are no different. Write a list of the reasons you quit, and the benefits you enjoy from being a non-smoker, and keep them with you at all times in your wallet or purse. |
10 Tips and Techniques to Deal With Stop Smoking Cravings by Darren Hiller One important fact about cravings and urges is that they will always pass. In fact, most cravings pass within with 2-5 minutes. 1. EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is emotional acupuncture without needles. This mind body finger tapping technique stimulates meridian points to balance the energy flow in our body and remove negative emotions. EFT can be done both daily and and when cravings are present. For more info. go to www.mindbodytapping.com 2. Hypnosis allows you to be more in control of your cravings. It also helps reduce the intensity & frequency of the cravings, and has additional relaxation benefits. 3. Taking some deep breaths (deep breathing) can really help you relax your way through any craving. 4. Repeat daily affirmations. Say them to yourself 10 times each morning, afternoon, and evening. I am Happy, Healthy, and smoke-free, or Everyday I choose to breathe fresh air into my lungs, or Today I am a proud and healthy non-smoker. 5. Tense up all your muscles in your body, hold for 10 seconds, then release. This technique helps take the edge off a craving or emotion. Repeat a few times if needed. You can also tense up and release your fists, arms, face, upper body, and legs one at a time. 6. Make a list of all the activities you will do instead of reaching for a cigarette. Healthy dis-tractors like reading a book, going for a walk, working in your garden, taking a deep breath, chewing gum, stretching, lifting weights, burning incense, surfing the Internet, daily exercise, doing some laundry, finding a support group, riding a bike, yoga, push-ups, meditating, a hobby, calling a friend, cleaning your teeth, writing a letter, listening to music, and drinking water. 7. Visualize yourself everyday for 2 minutes going through you day (waking up, eating, watching TV, driving coffee, working, drinking alcohol, hanging out with other smokers, feeling stressed or bored, and overcoming any situation) handling every situations as a relaxed non-smoker. 8. Daily exercise should help you release some stress. If you do not currently have an exercise regiment, start off by walking 10 minutes each day. 9. Have some healthy foods and other objects around to get you through any cravings (water, gum, cinnamon sticks, mints, sunflower seeds, fruits, carrots, flavored toothpicks, straws, stress balls you can squeeze, or worry beads). 10. Make a list of all the ways you are benefiting as a non-smoker and keep it with you at all times. (Healthier, have more energy, more confident, smell better, family is happier, in control, clearer skin, whiter teeth, life is easier). |
Quit Smoking Techniques - 7 steps with Creative Visualization One of the first techniques that I recommend to my client's who want to quit smoking, is to begin visualizing themselves as a non-smoker. Creative Visualization is a technique where you imagine or think about yourself as you want to be. It's like replaying a mental movie about you successfully achieving your goal. Using the power of Creative Visualization will help mentally prepare you to become a non-smoker. Creative Visualization steps: 1. Center yourself With your eyes closed, take a moment to center yourself by taking a few deep breaths while becoming aware of your surroundings (What are you sitting or standing on? What color is it? How is your body touching the earth? Can you feel your heartbeat? What sounds can you hear?) 2. Start visualizing Think about where you are at this moment. This is where you will begin your one minute visualization. (How much are you smoking per day? How confident and motivated are you?) 3. Enjoy a benefit Quickly move past your quit date, and create a mental picture of a moment in your first days/weeks as a non-smoker enjoying one of the ways you are going to benefit. (If being healthier is one of your benefits, you can imagine what it's going to be like to breath fresh air into your lungs). 4. Bring in details Enhance your visualization by bringing in more details into your mental movie. (Where are you? what are you doing? what are you wearing? notice your surroundings, who else is there?). 5. Bring in all your senses Bring all your senses into your visualization.(what else do you see in the scene? What sounds do you hear? what emotions are you feeling? what do you smell and taste?). 6. Positive affirmations Give yourself positive affirmations throughout your visualization. (I am a calm, healthy, and happy non-smoker). 7. Visualize each day Repeat your one minute visualizations at least two times each day. Visualize yourself in different situations enjoying one or multiple benefits at the same time, always imagining yourself how you would like to be as a non-smoker. You may visualize yourself as if you were watching yourself on a movie screen or from the perspective of looking out of your own eyes. The ideal time to begin visualizing is as soon as you think you want to quit smoking. |

Take a walk, go get a drink of water. A memory match game that can distract you and entertain you to help ease you past your craving.

DeGeneres Uses Hypnosis to Quit Smoking. Admitting that she didn't "look like somebody who should smoke," DeGeneres told her audience, "I work out and I'm very healthy and I like to think I'm a very intelligent person." She added, "My mother had breast cancer. I, of all people, should not smoke... She said of her Hypnotist, "You've helped me tremendously and probably saved my life, definitely changed my life." |
I should have done it years ago. …It’s amazing I didn’t even want a cigarette any more.” Matt Damon describing his hypnosis experience to Jay Leno, - The Tonight Show, 12/04 |
Anne Brackett was 28 and living in Boulder, Colo., when she saw an ad in the paper for a group hypnosis class at a YWCA to help people quit smoking. She was smoking more than a pack a day and thought she'd give it a try. "I didn't think I was being hypnotized," Brackett says. In fact, she thought it was sort of goofy to sit there with her eyes closed listening to the leader say, repeatedly, "You will forget to remember to smoke." But she did just as the leader suggested. "I never wanted to smoke again," Brackett says. Today, 30 tobacco-free years later, Brackett who is 58, lives in Elk Grove and works as a respiratory therapist. "I dismissed so much, and this taught me not to do that," Brackett said. "The problem is that medicine tends to be conservative." |
