Imagine yourself as a confident, capable, and strong individual. See yourself effortlessly saying no to smoking, feeling no desire to light up a cigarette.
Here’s a script for building confidence and willpower to say no to smoking with hypnotherapy:
Introduction
“Welcome, and thank you for taking this important step towards a healthier, smoke-free life. My goal is to help you build confidence and willpower to say no to smoking using the power of hypnotherapy. Please find a comfortable and relaxed position, either sitting or lying down, and take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. Allow yourself to let go of any tension or stress, and simply focus on my voice.”
Induction
“Close your eyes and imagine yourself in a peaceful, safe place where you feel completely relaxed and at ease. With each breath, feel your body becoming heavier, more relaxed, and more calm. As you exhale, imagine any tension or stress leaving your body, like autumn leaves floating gently to the ground. Allow yourself to drift deeper into relaxation, feeling your eyelids growing heavy, and your mind quieting.”
Deepening
“Now, imagine yourself walking down a gentle, winding staircase, with each step taking you deeper into relaxation. As you descend, repeat the phrase ‘I am calm and in control’ to yourself, feeling the truth of these words with each step. At the bottom of the staircase, imagine a warm, comforting light enveloping your body, filling you with a sense of peace and tranquility. Allow yourself to settle into this relaxed state, feeling completely safe and supported.”
Confidence Building
“As you remain in this relaxed state, I want you to imagine yourself as a confident, capable, and strong individual. See yourself effortlessly saying no to smoking, feeling no desire to light up a cigarette.
Repeat the following phrases to yourself, allowing the words to sink deeply into your subconscious mind:
– I am in control of my choices and actions.
– I trust myself to make healthy decisions.
– I am confident in my ability to resist the urge to smoke.
– I am strong and capable, and I can overcome any challenge that comes my way.”
Willpower Enhancement
“Imagine a bright, shining light filling your body, representing your inner strength and willpower. As you inhale, imagine this light growing brighter and more intense, filling you with a sense of determination and resolve.
Repeat the phrase ‘I am unstoppable’ to yourself, feeling the truth of these words and the confidence that comes with them. See yourself overcoming any obstacles that may stand in your way, and staying committed to your goal of a smoke-free life.”
Visualization
“Imagine yourself in a situation where you would normally smoke, such as after a meal or during a break. See yourself recognizing the urge, taking a deep breath, and choosing a healthier alternative, like going for a short walk or practicing deep breathing exercises. Feel proud of yourself for making this positive choice, and know that you can continue to make healthy decisions in the future. Imagine the sense of pride and accomplishment that comes with taking control of your health, and the feeling of freedom that comes with being a non-smoker.”
