Many people believe that the greatest human instinct is the will to survive, to stay alive.
I disagree.
I believe the greatest human instinct is to keep things familiar.
And there is plenty of medical research that backs me up.
First of all, there is Broken Heart Syndrome, which is when a spouse dies of a stress induced heart attack immediately after of their wife or husband’s death.
This event happens so often that there is a category to group and study the behavior.
[For more information on Broken Heart Syndrome look at this Wall St. Journal article.]
Beside the specific heart-attack events, there are plenty of stories where one totally healthy spouse passes shortly after the other’s death.
As I see it, the loss of a loved one can make the world an unfamiliar place, so much so that the perceived challenge can be too great to continue on.
What does this have to do with quitting smoking?
Well, the challenge that people have in quitting smoking frequently comes from the cravings associated with trying to stop smoking.
The cravings are the mind and body’s was of saying, “this non-smoking thing is unfamiliar; give me a cigarette to bring back the familiarity.”
Well, what if being smoke-free felt totally comfortable and familiar?
What if you could feel the comfort, relaxation, release, and ease that you currently get from cigarettes, but without smoking?
What if smoking felt unfamiliar and uncomfortable?
But you could still get those same feelings of comfort and familiarity immediately on command.
How hard would quitting smoking be then?
I believe that if you can make your goal, and the behavior necessary to attain that goal, feel familiar and comfortable, then you are 95% of the way there toward achieving it.
I’d like to help you get where you want to go.
