Have you ever had anyone tell you during a stressful moment "JUST BREATHE"? That is actually great advice, because, besides the fact that it sustains life, a slow purposeful breath helps relax and quiet the body during withdrawals and other stressful moments. I would like to teach you a way to breathe during these times that have helped many, many people.
When you have a terrible craving for a cigarette, Focus on your breath and then breathe in the following way:
Inhale for a slow count to four
Hold that breath for the another slow count to four
Exhale that breath for the same slow count of four
Hold exhalation for a count of four
Continue to do this for at least four or more breaths. I think you will find this a great way to handle any of the stress that comes with daily living.
