How to Dampen That Urge

There are seven major coping skills to help you fight that urge to smoke. These tips are designed for you, the new nonsmoker, to help you nurture the nonsmoking habit.

1. Think about why you quit

Go back to your list of reasons for quitting. Look at this list several times a day–especially when you are hit with the urge to smoke. The best reasons you could have for quitting are very personally yours, and these are also the best reasons to stay a nonsmoker.

2. Know when you are rationalizing

It is easy to rationalize yourself back into smoking (see Common Rationalizations). Don't talk yourself into smoking again. A new nonsmoker in a tense situation may think, "I'll just have one cigarette to calm myself down." If thoughts like this pop into your head, stop and think again! You know better ways to relax– nonsmokers ways, such as taking a walk or doing breathing exercises.

Concern about gaining weight may also lead to rationalizations. Learn to counter thoughts such as, "I'd rather be thin, even if it means smoking." Remember that a slight weight gain is not likely to endanger your health as much as smoking would. (Cigarette smokers have about a 70-percent higher rate of premature death than nonsmokers.) And review the list of healthy, low-calorie snacks that you used when quitting.

3. Anticipate Triggers and Prepare to Avoid Them

By now you know which situations, people, and feelings are likely to tempt you to smoke. Be prepared to meet these triggers head on and counteract them. Keep using the skills that helped you cope in cutting down and quitting:
  • Keep your hands busy–doodle, knit, type a letter.

  • Avoid people who smoke; spend more time with nonsmoking friends.

  • Find activities that make smoking difficult (gardening, washing the car, taking a shower). Exercise to help knock out that urge; it will help you to feel and look good as well.

  • Put something other than a cigarette in your mouth. Chew sugarless gum or nibble on a carrot or celery stick.

  • Avoid places where smoking is permitted. Sit in the nonsmoking section of restaurants, trains, and planes.

  • Reduce your consumption of alcohol, which often stimulates the desire to smoke. Try to have no more than one or two drinks at a party. Better yet, have a glass of juice, soda, or mineral water.

4. Reward yourself for not smoking

Congratulations are in order each time you get through a day without smoking. After a week, give yourself a pat on the back and a reward of some kind. Buy a new record or treat yourself to a movie or concert. No matter how you do it, make sure you reward yourself in some way. It helps to remind yourself that what you are doing is important.

5. Use positive thoughts

If self-defeating thoughts start to creep in, remind yourself again that you are a nonsmoker, that you do not want to smoke, and that you have good reasons for it. Putting yourself down and trying to hold out using willpower alone are not effective coping techniques. Mobilize the power of positive thinking!

6. Use relaxation techniques

Breathing exercises help to reduce tension. Instead of having a cigarette, take a long deep breath, count to 10, and release it. Repeat this 5 times. See how much more relaxed you feel?

7. Get social support

The commitment to remain a nonsmoker can be made easier by talking about it with friends and relatives. They can congratulate you as you check off another day, week, and month as a nonsmoker. Tell the people close to you that you might be tense for a while, so they know what to expect. They'll be sympathetic when you have an urge to smoke and can be counted on to help you resist it. Remember to call on your friends when you are lonely or you feel an urge to smoke. A buddy system is a great technique.

MisterShortcut Urges You To SQUEEZE The Shortcuts Route Of Life.
If your total intent is only selfish, welcome never existed here.
The Shortcuts Route Of Life is about helping people to help themselves.


The Shortcuts Route Of Life is more than happy to give you a hand up, particularly with shortcuts and master secrets of the universe that you are about to be reminded of... provided you accept the contractual obligation to reach your hand, not empty, to those even more helpless than you seem determined to prove yourself to be.


In these next minutes, you're encouraged and urged to safely move faster up your own ladder, expanding both your mind and your approach by specifically withholding your opinion until AFTER you have the experience that justified your opinion.

Zig Ziglar was no small thinker, or doer. He taught that the only time we should look down on another human being is when we are reaching down to offer them a hand up. It instantaneously produced memories that are like video movies in the head of all the times in my own life when others offered a hand up when they stood above me. You get to be that giant of a human, because hero status is rapidly gained when you do nothing more complicated than finding one person urgently in need of help, and when you tell someone, "Say there, since I can't be of direct financial assistance to you, let me help in another way."

If you were in an extreme of having your life or health threatened if you failed to help at least ten people in the next month or week or whatever time frame might be arbitrarily imposed, you would get very busy and would find as many people to help as you needed to in order to protect your interests.

This goes along with the axiom that most people will work harder to regain a thousand dollars stolen from them than they will in replacing it once, let alone repeatedly. In the next three minutes of your life, you get to move up an absolute notch. You MUST close your mouth and open your eyes and ears. Doing the same things as masters and millionaires means you do the same things at the finish line. Repeating the actions of masters and millionaires consistently assures you of getting the results of masters and millionaires.

1) There are, in fact, master secrets of the universe. Your opinions to the contrary demonstrate lack of experience.

2) Using any one or more of these master secrets of the universe are guaranteed to get you better and faster results within your first hundred tries, with the hidden "catch" being that you must not merely be willing to do it one hundred and one times, you must actually do it one hundred and one times. At the Shortcuts Route Of Life, "PowerGems" is the phrase used for these master secrets of the universe, because they are in fact proven to be universal to masters.

3) When you go into a store and see a big printed sign with a price next to that appliance or other device, you do, like most of the idiots walking around, actually pay that price, don't you? Worse, you do it without a quibble or even a sickly bleat. True, or not? With no one here but just us chickens and roosters, how many times in the past one hundred purchases have you asked for a discount? The Shortcuts Route Of Life can safely promise you many thousands of dollars in savings which are easily invested long-term into hundreds of thousands of dollars to the benefit of your pockets with the use of this one simple trick. It is so simple, it is ridiculous.


The next one hundred purchases you make, no matter what it is, ask if they can do better on the price.
If you are three-quarters as bright as you think you are, you will walk out when they say no.
You can fairly expect between ten and twenty people to say yes in your first hundred tries.
Do you understand how quickly you start saving money? Are you smart enough to invest it?

By the time you have asked one hundred times for a better price, your skills improve.
In areas of your life far more important to you than money, you will also thrive.
One of the bonuses of this magical and universal shortcut, one of many fillips,
is that in the second group of one hundred tries at getting some discount,
more than ten or twenty say yes to you. It continues to go up and up.
By the time you have asked for a better price one thousand times,
you will find that up to eight in every ten people say, "Okay."

Please do not feel put down when you are reminded of your stupidity.
The Shortcuts Route Of Life does not infer or suggest that YOU are stupid,
only that your most often-repeated actions do prove to be lessons in stupidity.
Carefully note that ignorance and stupidity are not even vaguely related to each other.
Ignorance can be fixed in seconds, because we are all ignorant of everything before we learn.
Stupidity is not acting on your better information, and you have not been asking for those discounts.
This does not make you cheap. It makes you smart to save up to half on nearly every one of your expenses.



Please remind yourself that you have one thousand separate opportunities every single day.
Do not be like all the idiots around you who major in minors, who gape at other people's lives.
Please, please, live more of this life, with more excitement, more adventure, more growth in you.
The Godfather of Shortcuts is pleased to be the first to present so much new information to YOU.
Excellence cannot occur by accident. Let us, together, you and the Shortcuts Route Of Life,
puruse the best in you in order to bring out the best in you, at which point we copy you.
What makes most people idiots is that they think they have "plenty of time" to do it.
You are being invited to step out of the human paradigm of time in this instant.
Today you have the opportunitinty to move into the paradigm of time in you.
Please, forget about months and weeks and days except for goal-setting.
Focus on a thousand separate opportunities each and most every day.
Within each one of those thousand opportunities is sixty seconds.
That gives you one to several hundred chances to do it better.
Can your poorly-nourished imagination even begin to get it?
What do YOU think will happen after one thousand days?
That's one million-plus opportunities in a short time.
How great can we bet on you being at that point?
Well, here you go, a gift, a rare present, to you:
You are given over a million chances to get it,
and you have a thousand days to get it done.
Less talk, please, and more action.

Speak less and do more, today.
Become one of the masters,
one chance at a time.



This is your largest naturopathic website. Decide for yourself whether it is your healthiest website.

Using the best health tips of people who live stronger for longer is wise.
The Longevity Master Method is crafted for your life,
with the understanding that you will make use of its wisdom,
that you'll enjoy the fruits of its successful experience,
and then have the decency to pass it to those who need it.
There is always someone worse off than us, individually and otherwise.
Without exception, each time you considerately think of them, or act for them,
the universe and all of its laws gives you the positively sumptious guarantee of return.
You already know that anything we do has equal and opposite reaction.
What might distract you into thinking that this fact is immune?
The rules of life that hold true most of all, all PowerGems,
apply to all we survey. Faith and science combined.

Crafted by your Godfather of EyeCandy,
The Shortcuts Route Of Life and Longevity is HUGE

MisterShortcut, committed to the reduction of the citizenry's unhealthy reliance on
the strictly money-based decisions of doctors who provably love money more than life,
demonstrating this in literally hundreds of thousands of "doctor error" deaths in America EVERY YEAR
by living luxurious lifestyles directly from the suffering of women, children, the elderly,
and perhaps most egregiously, the suffering of America's work force, our honest laborers.
If a doctor wants to be rich, he or she should join the merchant class, not the medical.
We understand that you believe your doctor is an exception, and cares greatly.
The best test? Look at your doctor's car or house. Even one step above average,
and we have proof that material interests supercede any care for healing.
Please understand that spending more on a car does not buy more car.
It buys something ego-based that robs your retirement of big cash.
In hope of you learning more in order to live more, naturally,
MisterShortcut is thrilled to present for your edification,
many hundreds of healthy websites filled with health tips,
including The Shortcuts Route Of Life,
filled with your best health tips for living stronger for longer... naturally
It is indeed a wise person who understands and appreciates

that no vitamin or human or even surgery can cure or heal us:
they can only help us to help ourselves; help us to heal ourselves.
The sooner you take control of the decisions affecting your health,
both how long you live and how well you live, the sooner you win.
You win the game of life by living well. Keep things simple.
With hundreds of thousands of dead patients every year,
the only person willing to claim that medicine works,
is the individual who has an interest in saying so.
That's tough for you to accept. We understand.
Your IQ is what, 80, 90, 100 or thereabouts?
The Shortcuts Route Of Life is different.
Based on the findings of smart folks,
people with IQ's above 150 - 180.
Stop feeling insulted by this;
call it a quirk of birth.
Fact is, those who do better
are the people who know better.
By tapping into what THEY know better,
you multiply the chances of YOU living better,
living stronger for longer with more robust health.
You think you know more than Paul Newman, saintly human?
Forget the thousands of charities this amazing man has given to.
Just consider his announcement just after his eightieth happy birthday:
"As of next year, I will no longer compete in professional car racing anymore."
Whew! Do you even understand the physical requirements of professional car racing?
Never mind the mental demands; the physical demands alone are beyond what you do daily.
So, when someone like Paul Newman speaks about being so strong and healthy after eight decades,
does it not make sense for the rest of us to hush up and listen to the wisdom coming from a wise man?
