Cutting Bad Habits & Addictions
As we said in part one of this post, it’s not the brain that does it; your brain is simply the organ that shows the effects of what you believe.
Like a chart.
That is why NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) is so effective compared to other methods that don’t get to the mental root of the problem. It allows smokers to change what they believe about smoking and about themselves.
NLP habit-change programs use statements and word pictures that paint mental images designed to get you to stop getting the warm fuzzies when thinking about and doing damaging things, while at the same time, they get you to feel those good feelings when thinking about and doing the things that ARE good for you… things you want to do).
It’s interesting to note that in this massive study cited above, nearly all the smokers in the study checked ‘yes’ when asked if warning labels worked. Perhaps that is what they thought the researchers wanted to hear, or maybe they felt guilty about what smoking was doing to them.
Either way, their brains could not lie. The smokers were not swayed in any way to quit by knowing what their smoking habit was doing to them.
That is why, if you are a smoker, you should contact us about our available NLP programs, and the other things we do. Such as…
If you don’t sell as much of what you’re paid to sell, you need to work on your subconscious motivations, not just learn more “closes.”
Or, if you are disorganized, the main thing that will end the scattered mind and reduce the clutter is to be conditioned with the thoughts of people who ARE organized.
Same goes for goal setting, eating healthy, exercising, feeling happy, being happy, earning and having a lot of money, taking on leadership roles, and even falling peacefully asleep when you close your eyes at night.
All of what you do, and who you are and all the decisions you make and feelings you feel are a result of a lifetime of conditioning.
That means that you cannot be forced to feel happy in a moment just because someone tells you to. And you’re not going to hit the perfect golf shot when your mind is filled with pictures of your ball sailing off into the wild blue yonder.
The only way your brain is going to change what it has been conditioned to want is to condition it to want something else. The brain will not be forced with logic. But it can be conditioned and trained to act differently. To act the way YOU want it to act.
That is what NLP programs help you to do.
Give yourself over to some NLP sessions and you will be able to do things you have never been able to do before… and be happy doing them.
DEFINITION: The nucleus accumbens (NAcc), also known as the accumbens nucleus or as the nucleus accumbens septi (Latin for nucleus leaning against the septum), is a collection of neurons within the forebrain. It is thought to play an important role in reward, laughter, pleasure, addiction, fear, and the placebo effect.
Each half of the brain has one nucleus accumbens. It is located where the head of the caudate and the anterior portion of the putamen meet just lateral to the septum pellucidum. The nucleus accumbens and the olfactory tubercle collectively form the ventral striatum, which is part of the basal ganglia.
The nucleus accumbens can be divided into two structures – the nucleus accumbens core and the nucleus accumbens shell. These structures have different morphology and function.
