Retold by Haunty: the message is obvious- Thanks Haunty!A man attended a psychiatrist, because he wanted to quit smoking, but didn't know how to do it. He bought one pack every day in a shop near his apartment and used it up by the end of that day. The psychiatrist, called Milton Ericsson, wanted to know why he had to smoke so much, so the man explained that he smoked because he had a very stressful life. Ericsson said that he believed it was because the man bought his cigarette in the wrong shop and asked him if he could buy the thing in another shop that's about a twenty-minute walk from his apartmend. He also asked the man to go on foot. The man didn't understand but did so. The next day, by the end of that twenty-minute walk when he reached the new shop, he realized he didn't need the cigarettes, because the tension disappeared from his body. After that day he did not smoke again, but went for a stroll.
