Happy New Year 2021!
With 2021 before us, what old behaviors, beliefs, and habits are you committed to changing for a better new year and new you? We all know a family member or a friend that is struggling with some addictive behavior. Many of them set New Year’s goals and resolutions that seldom last sixty days. This blog post is for people with addictions like TOBACCO but the proven principles can be applied to any addiction such as alcohol abuse, couch potato, depression, drug abuse, gambling, obesity, overeating, pornography, serial shopping, or social media mania. Making New Year’s resolutions to be happy, healthy, and in harmony is not enough. The key to transformation is to understand the old emotional patterns, limiting beliefs, and parental programming that show up and then learn new strategies, suggestions, and systems to create lasting change and progress.
“Good intentions and will power are not enough to correct addictive behavior and create lasting change for a happier and healthier life.” — Michael Morningstar
To be happy, healthy, and in harmony, all year long requires a Vision and Mastery Action Plan (MAP) to direct your life like Google Maps uses GPS to guide your movements and travel. After decades of studying human psychology combined with researching and reviewing the mastery action plans of many super successful people and lots of immersion in the intelligent pursuit of rapid results, the following long list became self-evident. Peak performance and personal development require recipes, resources, and role models to help growth and transformation.
Hopefully, you read the previous blog post about the benefits of NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) tapping, and Vision Boards/ Life MAPs as three super strategies to transform any area of your life with rapid results. If not when would now be a great time to read it and build the foundation for a great new year and new you?
Abuse, Anger, and Anxiety Addictions
My father was a smoker and it really bothered and worried me starting in my early teen years. My brother died from lung cancer after many years of smoking and suffering from it. One of my uncles died from lung cancer after a lifetime of smoking. Several family members of family and friends have either died of cancer and or suffered from severe COPD from TOBACCO use. So this topic has a powerful personal meaning for me. Fortunately, even in those days, there were Public Service announcements warning about the dangers of smoking. Unfortunately, there were so many ads, commercials, promoters, and tobacco products circulating it was hard not to be drawn to their poison propaganda. Consider this blog like a public service announcement broadcast to help people around the world stop smoking and using all TOBACCO products.
It is a little embarrassing to admit that there was a time in my late teens and early twenties when I experimented with tobacco and smoked cigars, cigarettes, and later even did chewing TOBACCO. When I look back now I am not exactly sure why, but my belief is the allure, commercials, connections with my father, exposure when young, mental brainwashing, modeling my father and programming had an influence. When I was in college ROTC and the US Army in the 70’s they gave four cigarettes and matches in every C Ration (military specification meal in a box). Many people started using cigarettes and other TOBACCO products while serving in military service. They even had smoking breaks and would say “smoke them if you got them”. Unfortunately, most had them and became addicted.
Luckily my core values and vision for my future inspired and motivated me to find many ways to stop that crazy behavior and never go back. I realize now that there are so many emotional and mental factors involved in addition to the physical addiction that occurs so it gets harder and harder over time to stop TOBACCO and replace unhealthy habits with healthy ones. It must become part of your identity and lifestyle rules at the deepest level of your DNA, RNA, and soul.
The more tools in your toolbox the more techniques, tips, and tools you have to get yourself emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually primed and ready for the walk through the valley of death and come out through the transformation portal to be happier and healthier.
Some of these Stop Smoking Strategies will be easier to read and some will be harder to accept. They are not meant to be condescending, critical, or judgmental. Coaching requires identifying the challenges and issues and coming up with lots of viable solutions and suggestions to help. Do yourself a favor and read through the entire list one time being receptive and open and without being defensive or insulted. See which ones resonate with you first and try them on and try them out to see what will help.
Accumulated Conditions Emotional Stress (ACES) score can be a good indicator of early childhood issues. Early life events of anxiety, stress, and trauma often result in unhealthy behavior and can benefit from techniques and tips from therapy and training. Unresolved hurt from childhood can lead to anger and anxiety that triggers the desire for TOBACCO Time (TT).

- Yoga for ten minutes before TOBACCO time can calm the body and brain naturally.
- Zen garden meditation is a fantastic way to reduce stress. A kit includes a rake, rocks, and sand that are meticulously raked every day.
After you read the list implement at least one new strategy each day. Reread the list each day and add another strategy so you are supporting your body and brain with powerful proven principles that will work if you do your homework each day.
As you can see from the incredibly long list of strategies, suggestions, and systems this is something that has been a part of my evolution for many decades. My father was a smoker so it has been in my field of awareness and consciousness since the 1960s. If you or anyone you know is having a serious struggle with getting rid of their TT or other addictions contact me for a chat about a consultation. Being certified in EFT, NLP and Timeline Therapy combined with forty years of coaching and over thirty years of training in the Robbins Research International environment with Neuro-Associative Conditioning and other techniques there is no person that cannot be helped if they are totally committed and willing to do what it takes and participate in their own rescue. My results are guaranteed if your resolve is genuine.
Remember baby steps can lead to big success and it only takes one strategy to be the key that unlocks the lock that has been keeping you chained to your addiction. These strategies are here to help you find the beliefs, behaviors, and habits that can lead to emotional freedom and long-term success.
