The cost of smoking beyond financial.
I write this after running into a neighbour who just has had a baby. I said “I didn’t know you smoked?”. He said, “I don’t / didn’t, but I am under a little stress at work, and adjusting to being a daddy”. I told him that I totally got it as I was in the same boat once and it was why I became a hypnotherapist. I’m sad that people still believe the cigarette “relaxes” them, when it really just adds to their problem. It doesn’t relax you! The extra air and a walk relaxes you.

Hypnotherapy, a therapeutic technique utilising hypnosis to create a heightened state of focus and suggestibility, offers a powerful avenue for positive change and improved well-being. By bypassing the critical conscious mind, hypnotherapy allows direct access to the subconscious, where deeply ingrained patterns, beliefs, and behaviours reside. This access facilitates the reprogramming of negative thought patterns and the cultivation of healthier habits.

As we step into a new workweek, I’m reminded of something a wise Irishman once said:

“The world works hard during the week and rests on the weekend; we rest during the week and work hard on the weekend.”

It’s a humorous thought, but it carries a meaningful message.
