How can I design a smoke‑free identity on paper for quitting cigarettes?
Today I want to show you how to design your smoke-free identity for maximum success. And today it's a very practical episode. What I invite you to do is to really write
write down on a real piece of paper. Yes, don't do it on your smartphone, do it on a real piece of paper. That's always way more yeah, it's way more emotionally binding, we could say, if that makes any sense. It's just better for learning and better for really incorporating it. That you write on a piece of paper your new self.
yourself. Write a profile for your future self. Who are you? As this smoke free self. Create a description of that smoke free self and you might want to include your energy level.
What details should I include in my future non‑smoker profile (energy, confidence, money saved)?
How energetic you feel now that you're a non smoker. You might want to include a new morning routine that you use so that you no longer fall into this trap of always having your coffee and then your cigarette all together in the morning. It could be that you describe your confidence level. Maybe you want to talk about how you walk, how you walk up to others, how you walk into a meeting room at your job or your business, how confident you will be. Maybe you want to write down how much money you have saved and all the money that you have because you're no longer smoking, which can be incredibly powerful as a motivator in itself to quit smoking. And you might also want to specifically talk about the financial freedom you then have with that money, what you can do with it.
You can talk about the clothes that you wear now that you're a non-smoker. Maybe you want to change your style a little bit. I mean it doesn't have to be, but just get creative. Who is that new self? Really go into step by step the definition process of that new self. Like who are you as this new self? Who are you as this new identity that you want to create?
How does redefining my overall health identity make quitting easier?
Redesign yourself in this way. Get clear about what you do and what you wouldn't do. And this can go beyond smoking a cigarette. For example, not all of them, but a lot of my clients who quit smoking, they also made the decision to live a more healthy lifestyle. For example, a healthier diet and a workout routine, which of course logically signals to your subconscious mind that you have the identity of Of somebody who is health focused and who's health conscious. And of course, from that identity, it's way easier to make the jump to being somebody who's a non-smoker, because being health focused and being a non-smoker is in perfect alignment. Of course, that doesn't mean that you cannot eat sweets anymore or that you have to only eat salad.
I mean, I eat a donut almost every day because I love donuts. But everything in balance, I mean It's all about balance in your life. And then you also might want to write down in a new headline on a new page or the same page what do you want to change about your environment. You can write down changes in my environment.
What environmental changes (removing ashtrays, new décor, different spots) support a non‑smoker lifestyle?
For example, removing all the ashtrays, lighters, that's the easy part. But also what would you change about your apartment, about your decoration as a non-smoker. Maybe there is something, maybe some symbols of health, a plant, or maybe a gym bag, or some dumbbells for working out. It can be anything. And these are just examples that I give you. So it doesn't have to be exactly what I'm sharing with you here. But just think about who you would be, what you would do, what kind of person you would become as this new self. I think that's an incredibly powerful exercise. Because remember, this process of quitting smoking is all about letting go of the old self and stepping into a new self. And the only way for you to step into a new self is when you get clear about who that new self is.
And then in the next step also ask yourself what environments, not your apartment now, but what other environments would you go to, would you visit as a non smoker? Maybe you no longer have
Which social and physical environments should I seek or avoid as a new non‑smoker?
would go to the bar where you always smoked for the last twenty years. Maybe you would no longer go to the place that you Yeah, that you anchored to such an extent to smoking.
