The beauty of change

I really enjoy the chances I get to change other people lives, its only when you sit down with someone who you have helped and they start to explain exactly how what you have done has changed their life so dramatically, whilst I am not so ignorant to believe that it was all down to me, I do like to hear the stories of being able to do so much more with their lives due to the changes they have made, some are minor in comparison to others and case histories cannot and will not be discussed by me, but I have had the honor of helping people with some of the most horrendous things that anyone can endure and some of the best times in their lives,


This morning as an example I saw someone who wanted to stop smoking, and I sincerely hope that what happened this morning has changed his life forever, He is an athlete, he trains every day, and is looking for some balance in his life and didnt understand how or why he still continued to smoke, why he found it so hard to kick the habit of smoking, the session started with a chat as all my sessions do, which for me is the most important part of the therapy as I get to know much more about him and what he has achieved in his life and what he still wants to achieve, he had done lots and wanted to still push for more, he had all the answers as many of my clients do, they know what Smoking is doing to them, they know how much money they will save, they know how it affects others around them and how the perception of them by other people is not nice.


Yet, they still cannot find the answer, so NOW with what seems to be a simple change of his mind, he no longer smokes, he is smiling, he has a new perspective, a new aim in life, he can focus on what he wants NOW, not what he doesnt want, which is so common when giving up something, you tend to not see the wood for the trees, focussing only on what you are giving up and rarely on what you are gaining by being healthier, having more money in your pocket, being able to sustain training sessions without struggling for breath as much, smelling fresh.


The changes in his life will also appear each and every day that he continues on the high road to success by being a non smoker, things that he didnt even know were going to happen will happen, things that he maybe wasnt expecting, all positive changes that he will notice.


The cost of cigarettes are shockingly expensive, which is not always the first concern of the client, but when you are paying in excess of £200.00 per month to smoke it (to me) sounds a lot, even more when you remind yourself that its costing £2400.00 per annum, which could pay for a nice holiday, the reason most dont focus on this part of the problem is the fact that they only have to find a fiver a day and its always the first thing they buy, before anything else, some people actually abstain from eating so they can buy their fags,


The feeling of being trapped by cigarettes is sometimes unnoticed, until you ask a smoker what they would feel like if you took their pack away from them, even if they have just smoked a fag, they would be worried that they dont have a ciggie for the next time, they feel trapped, almost desperate, from an outsider (non smoker) it seems totally irrational, but to the person experiencing the symptoms of this destructive habit its very real.
