Stopping smoking is easy. Loads of people have done it. I’ve helped loads of people to do it. But the interesting thing is, that not one of them has arrived at my office thinking it’s going to be easy.

The biggest barrier to stopping smoking is fear.

The fear has several components:

• Fear of failing.
• Fear of the ‘pain’ i.e. withdrawal.
• Fear of removal of the only pleasure in life.
• Fear of the removal of a crutch i.e. I smoke when I’m worried.
• Fear of over-eating
• Fear of succeeding temporarily and then ‘relapsing’.

None of these fears has any substance when you look at it closely, but as a mythical beast - a scary shadow on the wall, they all have tremendous power.

Failure

In most areas of life failure is seen as an opportunity to learn to do it better next time. Smokers tend to see it as the end of life as we know it. Better not to try than to fail. And what will people think. It will be obvious that I’ve failed.

Pain

There is no clinical evidence for addiction to nicotine. This is a myth. But because the Mind is a powerful beast, it can make an illusion real. If you don’t believe me, think of a lemon, think of cutting it in half, think of that lemony smell wafting gently and cleanly into your nostrils, then pick up one of those pieces, open your mouth and squeeze the juice out until it fills your mouth. Now notice the saliva content of your mouth and see if you can maintain your belief that illusion can’t have a real physiological effect on your body.

Pleasure

Cigarettes poison your body; increase your blood pressure; increase your likelihood of severe and disabling diseases; reduce your stamina; impair sexual function and pleasure in both males and females; age your skin; and damage your voice box. If this is pleasure

Stress

When I’m worried I have a cigarette, it reduces stress. Nicotine increases blood pressure by vaso-constriction and releases adrenaline. So smoking a cigarette increases physiological stress. What it actually does is create distraction. All the fumbling with the packet and the lighter and the sucking (security of a nipple from childhood) takes the mind away from the problem for the length of time it takes to smoke a cigarette. Sucking a pencil, or chewing gum would have the same effect.

Food

People think they will over-eat when they stop smoking. Hypnotic suggestion takes care of this with direct suggestion to ensure that nothing is substituted for cigarettes.

Success then Failure

A lot of people give up for a while and then start again - usually at a moment of crisis in their lives. The fear of failing at being successful prevents them even attempting to give up. Success is easy. If you fail you just give up smoking again knowing that you’ve done it already it will be even easier next time. If you have this attitude you will succeed forever first time.

Because all of these fears are very real to smokers wanting to give up, there is a way that makes it even easier. Use a hypnosis CD. The benefit of a CD over a one-to-one treatment is that you can listen to it over and over again. And if you obtain a Stop Smoking CD that is designed for frequent use then giving up smoking successfully is almost guaranteed.

You see with this gradual approach, there is no real moment when you become a non-smoker, in the way that there is with a one-to-one treatment. Because choosing when and where to listen to the CD is under your control, and you can do it as often as you like, you will find that all those fears mentioned above become irrelevant.

They become irrelevant because, although you’ve chosen to give up, although you’ve chosen to become a non-smoker, you’ve chosen to do it at a gradual rate - a rate that you can modify and adjust on a daily basis.

The CD will help reduce the desire to smoke, and it will help you to see yourself as a non-smoker and because you listen to it regularly the message of the CD is reinforced and becomes stronger each time you listen until finally you realise you’ve smoked your last cigarette.

Ten years of research has gone into the development of Hydroxycut Hardcore. This product has been scientifically proven to decrease bodyfat by 8 percent, and increase norinephrine by 40 percent. Hydroxycut Hardcore was formulated by a leading medical doctor for one simple reason, to burn the most amount of fat, in the shortest amount of time, as safely as possible.

The ingredients in Hydroxycut Hardcore turn your body into a fat burning machine. This product contains:

*Pyroxyclene Fat Loss Blend 742mg (Green Tea Extract Caffeine anhydrous, White willow extract, Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco extract)

*Norepidol Intensity Focus Blend 171mg (Deanol acetamidobenzoate hydrogentartrate, xanthinol nicotinate, evodia rutaecarpa extract, inula racemosa extract, Codonopsis pilosula extract)

*Lasidrate Delivery Blend 55mg (Troxerutin, Inostol hexasophate, cridium monnieri extract, black pepper extract)

*Yohimbacore Yohimbe Blend 4.5mg (Methyl 17 alpha-hydroxy-yohimban-16alpha-carboxylate hydrochloride)

Hydroxycut Hardcore doesn`t contain all of the scam ingredients found in other fat burners. The reason many fat burners don`t live up to their hype is because of the fact that they contain too many ingredients that have never been proven to burn fat. Hydroxycut Hardcore is the only known fat burner that contains a rapid release micro-dispersion formula known as Liquitech. Other fat burning supplements contain unhealthy ingredients such as Ma Huang, Synephrine, and Guggelsterones. The makers of Hydroxycut Hardcore have opted to boycott these ingredients due to the fact that they only want what`s best for their consumers.

The best part about Hydroxycut Hardcore is the price. 120 capsules should cost you no more that 30-40 dollars, but don`t be fooled by companies who try charging you double that price saying, “Our products are handled the best,” or “We have a faster shipping and handling process compared to other companies.” These companies are there for one reason, and that is to take your money. Be smart and buy smart!

For quite a while now, Smooth Fitness has sold only one model of elliptical trainer: the Smooth CE. The Smooth CE has earned a well-deserved reputation as a great home elliptical trainer at an affordable price. Made in Germany by Kettler, the Smooth CE combines a 48 lb flywheel with solid construction for an extremely smooth elliptical motion in an elegantly styled package.

The Smooth CE once upon a time had two lower-priced siblings in the ME and PE, but both were discontinued a while back leaving the CE to boldly forge ahead alone, outselling its competitors and almost single-handedly growing the reputation of Smooth Fitness. Many people aren’t aware that Smooth Fitness also offers Treadmills and home gyms.

Well, it’s time to rejoice, for the Smooth CE just got some new models to keep it company! A recent price increase to the Smooth CE coincided with the introduction of three new models of Smooth CE elliptical trainers: the CE 2.1, CE 3.2, and the CE 7.4. These American cousins of the CE have a radically different design and several improvements that make them worthy additions to the Smooth line of elliptical trainers.

Made in the USA, the new CE ellipticals use a thick tubular frame design that has more of a club-like look and provides a high degree of stability. Stability is essential in the design of an elliptical trainer. Many of the lower-priced elliptical trainers will wobble side to side and let out annoying squeaks when aggressively used.

All three of the new models have ergonomically designed foot pedals, which pivot to follow the natural motion of your ankles. These types of pedals have also been shown to help reduce the dreaded foot numbness, which is all too common when using most elliptical trainers on the market today. The CE 3.2 and CE 7.4 have commercial-type, LED dot matrix displays on their consoles, which provide enhanced visibility during your workouts.

The Smooth CE 7.4 is the “Big Daddy” in the Smooth CE line. It weighs in at 210 lbs and takes up a bit of space. However, it approaches commercial grade quality at a residential price. The general rule of thumb with elliptical trainers is that the larger and heavier they are, the more stable, smooth, and durable they are. This is something to consider when shopping for an elliptical trainer.

Smooth Fitness has increased your choices. In the past, you could have bought their only option, the Smooth CE, and done very well for yourself. That still holds true today. However, with the addition of the new models they have put the Smooth quality within range of consumers with smaller budgets with the CE 2.1 and CE 3.2 and have also provided a terrific high-end elliptical trainer with the CE 7.4 for folks looking to build an impressive home gym.
