Hello, welcome to the desire topic of the simple formula module. In this video, I'm going to be talking about the next step, which is removing your desire to smoke, as is certainly one of the most important parts of stopping smoking. Think about it. If you no longer desire to smoke, then you won't. So you just need to remove that desire that want that need smoke. Now, this is a point that I've touched on throughout this course.

So I'm just going to give a bit more detail on this now. So the first step to take when removing your desire to smoke is really to understand what the cigarettes are actually doing for you. So let's take a moment to think about this. Most people believe that smoking relaxes well. I'm here to tell you that it actually doesn't. You get stressed and have a cigarette to calm you down.

And you think you feel better afterwards. But what you're actually doing there is feeding your own panic that built up in your own mind, your mind has told you that you're craving the nicotine, and you must have one now, when actually the cigarette has done nothing other than deliver you a nicotine dose. If you're in nicotine withdrawal, you barely even feel any physical withdrawal pangs, if at all. So what is the actual reason that you desire it? If you don't smoke a cigarette that you want, need or desire, it's not going to cause you any physical pain whatsoever. what you were doing when you smoke is a familiar, repetitive, almost a ritual movement, which you can actually conditioned yourself to stop doing because you conditioned yourself to start doing it in the first place.

It's really as simple as that. So if you no longer desire to smoke, you have no need for this ritual, and you have no need to have anything else to replace it. So when you're smoking a cigarette, Is it really helping you in any way? What does it feel like? Is the cigarette making you feel any better? Or the fact that you just took a few minutes to yourself Is that what's making you feel better.

You'll also find that you'll be a much calmer person, when you're not panicking about when you can have your next cigarette or in a stressful situation. All that panic need or desire, you experience is all powered by the nicotine addiction and the mental triggers that you've put in place in your mind. So when you smoke your first cigarette, you instinctively know it's wrong, and it's not good for your body and your body, you know, turns around and tells you this by giving you quite a reaction to it. Yet you end up teaching yourself to smoke anyway. you inhale these toxic fumes into your lungs. And do you actually feel better when you're smoking?

Does it feel good? Or are you a bit breathless? So to summarize, by removing your desire to smoke, you're not want to actually have a cigarette. So the main takeaway point in this lesson is really to think each time that you have a cigarette, what is it actually doing for you. And once you understand that you don't desire to smoke, then you can actually look at then removing those mental triggers. And that's the final step in the simple formula.

And that's what we're going to look at in the next topic. So I will see you there bye for now.
