Had a Car Accident Lately?

Why We Cannot Quit Smoking?

We do bad things although we know we should not. Nobody knows why? Actually it is not our folly. It falls under the category of things which are beyond our control.

We all know the remedies to lose weight and to quit smoking like good eating habits, exercise .Yet we cannot help ourselves although we desire it. If we talk about the chain smokers, there are many who control themselves but cannot completely quit the habit. The reason is bad temptations. They do every possible thing to keep themselves away from smoking but there is something which acts like a magnetic force and held them back like two opposites constantly attracting each other.

Let us try to find out the answer:

Can we name out some people who are truly happy and serious about their work? Unfortunately the figure is very less. We live in an aura made of our own where we do not feel need to deal with the major issues. It consists of special things which contribute a lot to distract us. We often forget about our ambitions which once we had nurtured in childhood like becoming a doctor, an artist.

This forgetting results in unhappy, unsuccessful and frustrated individuals. They boil their inner self without knowing their problem and what advertisers do? They take benefits of these fears and fulfill their interests by selling us deceptive happiness.

But what about our true needs?

We are either afraid to fulfill them or we disassociate ourselves from it to such an extent that we never think of them again.

One easy way which we opt to escape the problems is we make bad habits our companion as incase of smokers. If they have some family quarrel then they will take up smoking not because of the nicotine temptation but due to their incapability of resolving the problem. When we come face to face with our problems we feel they want us to pay them attention. The surprising fact is if we really want to give attention to them then only we will feel the need of smoking because we know our 'void'. We can solve our problem by taking following easy steps: * Try to listen to your inner voice. * Meditation is great and will surely help. * One should go for a walk by himself listening to his inner self. * We must check ourselves where we are avoiding our problems and what we instantly need. Method of figuring out is different for everyone's but we should try to work on it and not to give it.
