You have learned to “plant impressions” in your subconscious mind—images of yourself as happier, healthier, and now able to resist the old, harmful urge to smoke. You must also teach your subconscious mind that the “three deep breath” technique will enable you to ignore a momentary desire to hold a cigarette and puff on it.
Before you go to sleep, relax your body from top to bottom. See yourself walking into a room where many people are smoking; suddenly you feel the urge to smoke, too. Instead, you quietly take three deep breaths. You smile and shake your head. “No cigarette for me, thanks.” Think to yourself: “When habit makes me want to reach for a cigarette, I’ll take three deep breaths instead. I won’t want that cigarette. I won’t be breathing poisons into my lungs, because the three deep breaths relax me and ease my tensions.”
