Smokers beware: tips from expert Wellnitz for a smoke-free life!
Stress, tension and reaching for a cigarette – a familiar combination for many people. On October 29th in Wilhelmshaven there will be an interesting opportunity to escape the vicious circle of smoking. The social educator and certified non-smoking expert Anke Wellnitz gives a lecture at the North Family Center on strategies for quitting, based on her own experiences from a 25-year smoking career. How nwzonline reports, she finds that quitting isn't all that difficult if you have the right tips.
The lecture starts at 5 p.m. at Posener Straße 97. Registration is not required, so anyone can drop by spontaneously. Wellnitz is convinced that the first day or two after quitting are the hardest. She encourages participants to set specific dates to quit smoking. “A Friday or New Year’s Eve are great for giving the body time to recover,” says the expert.
Tips for quitting
Worries about addiction and possible weight gain are among the most common fears among smokers. Wellnitz has a clear plan to meet these challenges. She points out that 95% of the time the urge to addict is not strong, and for the remaining 5% she has helpful tricks. Their recommended strategies include:
- Raucherfreunde für zwei Wochen meiden, um den eigenen Alltag nicht unnötig auszureizen.
- Neue Routinen entwickeln und gesunde Alternativen finden, zum Beispiel Tee statt Kaffee.
- Kleine Ziele setzen, um motiviert zu bleiben, etwa Treppensteigen ohne Schnaufen.
- Erinnerungen an frühere Rauchorte nutzen, um die eigene Motivation zu steigern.
Alternative methods for dealing with stress
By the way, smokers are often not only concerned about nicotine addiction, but also about reducing stress through cigarettes. After quitting, it is important to find alternative methods to manage stress. The Betta blog recommends techniques like:
- Progressive Muskelentspannung – ideal, um körperliche Spannungen abzubauen.
- Atemtechniken – helfen, akute Verlangen zu lindern und Entspannung zu fördern.
- Visualisierungstechniken – können ein Gefühl der Ruhe und Kontrolle steigern.
These methods should be practiced regularly to maximize their effectiveness. Integration into everyday life not only increases resilience to stress, but also minimizes the likelihood of relapse.
Anke Wellnitz's lecture is therefore a valuable opportunity to not only benefit from her expertise, but also to learn valuable methods for relaxation and stress management.
