How To Use Biorhythms To Lose Weight Or Quit Smoking
by Gordon Bellows

The human body is a wonderful living machine with a continuous
series of cycles or rhythms as evidenced by the functions of the
heart, lungs, and so forth. From the tiniest cells to the major
organs, there are functions that take place in regular patterns.

Among the natural patterns of the body are three different types
of physiological changes that affect our behavior. These built-in
patterns are known as biorhythms; and the three individual cycles
are identified as the physical cycle, the emotional cycle, and
the intellectual cycle.

Biorhythms have a strong influence on the rise and fall of our
energy levels, as well as the fluctuations in our interests,
moods, abilities, susceptibility to accidents, and our sense of
well-being. Biorhythms are based on our date of birth and are set
into motion the moment we are born.

Biorhythms don't predict any specific events, but they do provide
a type of forecast letting us know when we are most likely to be
at our best. Biorhythms help us by letting us know when we should
use our full potential and take advantage of our favorable days,
and when it might be best to limit certain activities and use
more caution.

It is best to look at a biorhythm chart as you read this article.
So, print the article and then do a search using the search terms
"biorhythms" or "biorhythm chart." There are several good sites
on the Internet where you can find free charts. Just enter your
date of birth and the site will display your biorhythm chart.

The physical cycle lasts for 23 days, the emotional cycle lasts
for 28 days, and the intellectual cycle lasts for 33 days. Each
cycle has two phases; one positive and one negative, with each
phase lasting half as long as the complete cycle.

In general, the positive phase is when we have more energy and
are more likely to be at our best at activities related to that
particular cycle. During the negative phase our energy is usually
a little lower and it can take more effort to do things as well
as we do them on our favorable days.

The 23-day physical cycle influences physical strength, stamina,
speed, coordination, bodily functions, resistance to disease, and
a sense of physical well-being.

The 28-day emotional cycle affects our moods, mental health,
sensitivity, creative insights, how we react to others, and our
perceptions of the world and ourselves.

The 33-day intellectual cycle has an impact on alertness, memory,
the logical and analytical functions of the mind, how quickly we
learn new things, and how well we remember what we have already
learned.

There is usually influence from more than one biorhythm cycle.
For example, a recreational activity can involve the physical and
the emotional cycles. Important decisions often involver both the
intellectual and the emotional cycles. Most things can be done at
any time, but we can usually do it better and get more out of it
when the cycles related to an activity are in the positive phase.

There could be times when the transition from one phase to the
next may be rather subtle. In fact, unless you know the position
of your cycles by looking at your chart, you may not be aware of
the changes. However, do not underestimate the importance of
biorhythms and the impact they can have on your life.

Whenever a cycle crosses the baseline, changing from one phase to
the next, it is known as a critical day. This is the time when we
are most vulnerable and therefore, the time to be most cautious.
When an accident does happen, it happens on a critical day more
often than any other time. You can reduce errors and accidents by
just being aware of your critical days and using extra caution.

A critical day in the physical cycle is when we are more likely
to catch a cold, have some sort of mishap, or suffer some type of
bodily harm.

A critical day in the emotional cycle could bring on arguments or
quarrels, frustration, or feelings of sadness or depression.

A critical day in the intellectual cycle could result in poor
decisions, poor judgment, difficulty in expressing yourself, or a
decreased ability to learn or remember.

Okay, now that the basics of biorhythms have been covered, let's
look at the best time to lose weight or quit smoking.

Your ability to lose weight is better when you start your diet
during a positive phase of the physical cycle, with no critical
days in any cycle for at least the next 8 days. Also, try to find
a period of time when there are several weeks when the critical
days of the different cycles are not grouped close together.
Whether you count calories, use diet pills, or use hypnosis, your
diet can be more successful when you start it at the right time.

We are more likely to "pig out" and fill up on junk food or eat
too many sweets on a critical day in the physical cycle. A few
sweets or a little junk food now and then is okay for most of us,
but we tend to let it get out of hand at times. Awareness of our
biorhythms is important to having a good diet and eating healthy.

The best time to quit smoking is 2 days after the emotional cycle
goes into a positive phase. You have almost two weeks before the
cycle hits another critical day, when you are most vulnerable and
unstable, which means your ability to avoid temptation is lower.
However, by that time, you have been a non-smoker for almost two
weeks and you have gotten through the worst of it. It also helps
if the intellectual and physical cycles are in a positive phase,
at least for the first few days after you quit smoking.

Whether you quit smoking by using a patch, gum, or hypnosis, you
have a better chance of success by doing it when your biorhythms
are more favorable.

It takes willpower and determination to lose weight or to quit
smoking. Give yourself an extra advantage by doing things at the
right time of your biorhythms. Biorhythms helped me quit smoking,
which is something that I thought I would never be able to do.
Try it, the results may surprise you!
