心理：有什么心理上的小技巧

What are some psychological hacks that have helped you?Nicolae Dumitrescu, IT Manager (2012-present)Updated May 15Well, let me tell you about my hack. This is 100% true, believe it or not. It’s actually not “my” hack, but I found that it works in other situations just as well.I have been a smoker for about 15 years, passionate about the damn thing - /sɪɡə'rets/, pipe, cigars, you name it. At some point, without a real reason - sickness, lack of money, etc. the usual motives that one uses to try and quit smoking - I began reading a famous book about quitting smoking. There, the author said something like “you are born non-smoker, smoking is something that you impose on yourself. Just wake up one day with your mind set that you are a non-smoker”. And I did. And it worked! I have tried quitting in the past, each attempt did not last longer than 6–7 hours. But this time, when I “programmed” myself that I am a non-smoker, I have instantly became one! The very day that I stopped, I have continued to go out with my co-workers during breaks, they were smoking and I did not feel anything but pity for them. No physical need to smoke anymore.I have been using the same technique to get rid of some other bad habits, and it worked just fine. It is true, most of our habits (except for eating, and that is arguable in some cases) are learned, imposed by ourselves and/or our environment/education.
