def. To make real through action
So, you know someone who just quit smoking.
They say 'I've quit smoking'. You
say, "Well, how are you going about it?" They say, "I'm just
quitting smoking". You think, "This person will probably not succeed".
Why do you doubt them? Because the steps that this person is taking to quit
smoking seem inadequate to meet
the needs of the desired outcome. Quitting smoking forever is DIFFICULT. It is
rarely done successfully in such a thoughtless way.
To quit smoking forever it helps to DO certain STUFF. Complacence will
likely lead to failure.
The NeverSmokeAgain program includes many steps that ask you ACTUALIZE your decision to quit smoking. Thinking
about quitting smoking just won't do it. Just reading through this site but not
following the steps just won't do it.
Doing versus Thinking
It is FAR EASIER to remember and think about your previous ACTIONS than your
previous THOUGHTS. Do you remember what you were THINKING two weeks ago? Two
days ago? Fifteen minutes ago? It is very difficult to remember your previous
thoughts, but it is EASY to remember your ACTIONS!
ACTIONS are more significant than THOUGHTS
So, to actualize quitting smoking you take certain PHYSICAL steps that make
quitting smoking REAL. This is the fine line between THINKING about quitting
smoking and PHYSICALLY and ACTUALLY taking the steps needed to effectively quit smoking.
There are a number of steps in the NeverSmokeAgain.Com program that ask you to
take physical action. This is for a REASON. It will be easy for you to DISREGARD
the physical steps of this program, but I strongly recommend that you follow
these steps as closely as possible. It really helps.
Do you get it? I Hope you get it, because the idea of taking the physical steps
that I outline for you are CRITICAL to the success of this program. You won't
need to do anything silly or peculiar. You won't need to do anything that will
make you feel uncomfortable. But you will need to take certain physical actions
to ACTUALIZE the process of quitting smoking.
Doing versus Reading
Did you ever buy a training video? For example, consider a golfer that
wants to improve his or her golf game. The person sees an ad for a video that
promises to really help improve one's golf game. So he or she buys the video
and watches it. This person expects to benefit from watching this great video.
What do you think? Is this a successful strategy? Will the video improve the
person's golf game?
The answer is that the video is unlikely to help the individual because just
watching it is inadequate to achieve the desired outcome. More things need to
happen to improve one's game. For example, the golfer needs to go to a driving
range and practice the things that are being taught in the video. You can't just
watch a video and get better. The idea is actually ridiculous. Golf is a really
difficult sport. The video may contain beneficial tips and strategies, but you
won't improve yourself by simply watching the video and going out to play.
Practicing golf is really ACTUALIZING the lessons that are being taught. By
making what is being taught REAL through ACTION (practicing).
The same is true about this website. You need to ACTUALIZE the lessons by
following through on the recommended actions. Simply reading through it is
unlikely to help you. The people that will benefit most from NeverSmokeAgain
are the ones that follow the actions that are recommended.
ACTUALIZING the process of quitting smoking is one important step that will strengthen
your willpower ability.
How does actualizing help with your willpower? By taking MEMORABLE and
SIGNIFICANT steps in the process of quitting smoking you are actually making
quitting more REAL. (Actualize: To make real through action. Remember?)
Actualizing will absolutely enhance your willpower. You can take it to the bank.
(Keep reading for many more willpower strengthening strategies.)
SO, PLEASE DO THE STUFF THAT I AM GOING TO ASK YOU TO DO.
Solidify the foundation of your desired outcome (becoming a non-smoker).
Actualizing quitting smoking means
taking steps that will make the act of quitting more REAL since quitting will be
a more memorable and significant act.
This approach works. The choice
is yours!
