The Ultimate guide to Getting over depression, mood swings & bad moods Based on psychology
Contrary to common beliefs people smoke cigarettes because of psychological reasons and not because of nicotine addition. If you monitored your smoking habits you will find that you smoke when you become stressed, when you are worried, when you are feeling bad, when you lack control and right after eating.
When someone losses control of his emotions he will try to use any external object that he can exert control upon (the cigarettes in this case) in order to restore the feelings of being in control.
Of course nicotine has some addictive effects and no one can deny this fact but what i am trying to say is that this nicotine addiction is a minor factor compared to the other psychological factors involved.
While nicotine addition can be responsible for 5% of the cravings you get other psychological factors will be responsible for the rest of the 100%.
A guy who has a self image problem will usually feel anxious In crowded places. This anxiety will result in fidgeting, clumsy movements and of feelings of loss of control.
During such a time that person will be in severe need to be in control and since smoking allows him to repeat certain fixed movements it will give him that sense of control he needs.
In my book The ultimate guide to breaking bad habits i said that People fail to quit bad habits because they always tackle the wrong reasons instead of the root cause.If this person tried to quit smoking millions of times without fixing his self image issue then he will never succeed.
Some teens, who experience confusion about their identities, smoke in order to assert the identity of being real men. In many cases people get involved into certain behaviors just to assert the pretense of a certain identity.
The same goes for the adult who wants to show that he is a bad boy or the atheist who wants to rebel against whatever religions teaches.
By doing a behavior that supports an identity that he believes in a person can feel better about himself.
If you are serious about quitting a bad habit then you must dig behind it to find the underlying psychological cause and once you find it you have to deal with it directly.
Will power, persistence and resilience are great tools but unless you tackle you the real root cause they won’t be able to help you.
Take nail biting as an example of a bad habit. No matter what you do to stop it you will end up returning back to it.
When you learn body language you will find out that nail biting is usually a sign of anxiety. (see also What does nail biting mean)
Now the right way to break such a habit is to learn how to control anxiety instead of learning how to control your nail biting habit.
Most people focus on quitting the habit itself instead of looking deeper behind its causes and that's why they hard have times giving them up.
