Doug Grahame. I tried to stop smoking cigars for over 30 years, pills, potions, patches even acupuncture. Success only came when I understood the illusions that kept me from stopping.
Here's an old chestnut. Many smokers say: 'I can't stop. I just don't have any willpower.' Let me explain. Willpower, as most people understand it, is a psychological illusion, because it doesn't really exist. Willpower is just a nine- letter word to which you have attached high emotional value. Just analyse the word for what it is. Will is the faculty by which you decide on and initiate action, and power is the ability to do something. Now willpower looks a little different, doesn't it?
You merely deceive yourself with that word willpower. We use it as a label for [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] something we have already predetermined is going to be difficult. There are things that you do because you enjoy them [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] but other people [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] say that those things must take some willpower. Here's a personal example. Having lost 52 pounds, I have exercised at the gym consistently four times a week for more than 10 years. Before I take my children to school I spend up to two hours working out every day. Perhaps people think I'm having to force myself. That idea couldn't be further from the truth. The working out [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] has nothing to do with willpower. I do it because I really enjoy it.
Think about something you really enjoy doing, so much that you look forward to doing it again and again. You'd laugh if somebody suggested willpower [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] had to be summoned up for it.What keeps you at it is the pleasure you associate with it. Apply this to the smoking habit. When you change your feelings so that you really enjoy not smoking, you will enjoy that feeling so much that you will want to continue not smoking.
I'll [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] turn the argument around. If willpower really did exist you would use it to continue smoking. It takes willpower to spend your money on cigarettes, because they don't magically appear in your hand. Go one pace backwards - it takes willpower to go out and buy them. When you've got them it takes willpower [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to light them, to inhale [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] not once, not twice, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] but maybe more than ten times for every cigarette. Don't you think it takes willpower to have to inhale on a piece of paper filled with plant leaves and to breathe it in anywhere from 50 to 300 times a day?
Even more, doesn't it take willpower to resist people telling you to stop? It must be a [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] strong will that keeps you smoking when you know all these things. You don't swallow all that surely?
Consider two men who desperately want [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the same unobtainable thing. One is strong willed, the other has no willpower. The first maintains silence, the other is constantly agitated. Yet the willpower plays no part in obtaining the unobtainable.
However, it is willpower that you use when the two parts of your mind are [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] in conflict between the angel and the devil. When you change the way you think and feel the whole of your mind is pointed in the one direction, you have no need to battle with your wills.
