How can I deal with stress if I stop smoking?
When I was a smoker I said that
I needed cigarettes to deal with my
stress and anxiety. Many of my students
say the same thing.
First of all, Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor and
that means that it constricts the blood vessels
and causes the heart to work harder to
get the blood through.
As a smoker your heart will beat 10,000
more beats just because you smoke. If
your heart is pumping harder to get the
blood through then how can it relax you…
I know it seems like it does relax you
but it can’t if it is stressing your heart.
There are techniques to deal with stress
and anxiety like learning a deep breathing
technique or changing your routines when
you encounter a stressful situation.
I would like to give you an example of
a new way to deal with anxiety.
