Lower Your Stress Level

Since most smokers use cigarettes to lower stress levels, it makes sense to replace the smoking with a focused attempt to create a more relaxed lifestyle. Meditation and relaxation exercises are not mysterious Far-East practices but healthy, and often necessary, stress management techniques. You can find many programs, books and tapes to help you find a relaxation method that suits you-- looking in the public library is a good place to start.

I use the meditation guide provided in Gloria Steinum's book, Revolution From Within. It is very soothing. I also teach it to my students, who love the relaxed atmosphere it provides in the middle of a very hectic day for them.
Hope this helps!
Shalom!
