Smoke Breaks

Smokers have an unfair advantage with visualization: they have a built-in break system.

If they do not pass their smoke break in idle chat with other smokers, they find themselves outside, alone, with their thoughts their only company while they find fulfillment for a few minutes. A smoker ends a smoke break feeling refreshed, because their addiction has been sated.

This break time, where the rest of the world is put on hold, is one of the most difficult things to lose when people quit smoking. By replacing the smoke break with a visualization break, you can quit smoking and still keep this great advantage that smokers get for manifestation.

If you have been a smoker, you know what I am talking about: five minutes alone with your thoughts can be spent brooding about what has gone wrong, or rejoicing about what has gone right. There is nothing quite so satisfying as a victory cigarette, nor is there anything quite so depressing as a cigarette smoked in frustration. This is becausew the structure of the smoke break is now separate from daily tasks; you cannot smoke while shopping for groceries, or working at your job (in most cases), or eating a meal in a restaurant. Smoking removes you from the daily pace of life, and gives you an outside perspective that is necessary during visualization.

Non-smokers have seen this if they have ever seen anyone smoking outside a building, standing idly, with no company but their own thoughts. Put the smoke break to work for you! Use it as time to visualize and manifest. Spend the length of one cigarette embodying your dream, and see yourself as successfully attaining your goals while you are in that break from the rel world. When you step back into it, you will be urged in the direction to your goal by the power of your own mind.
