Use Hypnosis – And Always Focus On What You Do Want
Posted by: | CommentsMany people are astonished to discover that they have the ability to significantly change their life by altering the way they speak and think.
Is that possible?
Can you learn to take control over how you speak – or think? Yes, it is possible and yes, you can learn how to do this. Here’s a few simple steps that you can take:
1. In order to change habits it is very useful to first be aware of them.
2. As you become aware of how you speak and think, you begin to exert your willpower over how you speak and think.
Here’s an example…
Say you want to lose weight. You realize that your constantly thinking about food and talking about food leads you to snacking or overeating. When your thoughts begin to focus upon food, you actively direct your thoughts upon something else. You begin to make some inroads into your once all-powerful desire for instant gratification, even if these changes are minor or short-lived. Still, it is enough for you to explore more powerful methods that support these efforts for change.
Here is where hypnosis can help.
We use hypnosis to intensify your desire to eat better and significantly change your life. Hypnosis helps you to focus upon what it is you do want and naturally avoid thinking and saying what you don’t want.
Here’s why that’s important.
When you mistakenly focus upon what you don’t want, such as not wanting to eat sweets or not going to overeat or not wanting to think about snacking on chips, guess what your subconscious mind thinks about? It thinks about what you told it not to do. For example, don’t think about an elephant. And whatever you don’t think about a pink elephant. And make sure that you don’t think about a dancing pink elephant.
You get the idea.
Your subconscious mind goes right to the image and doesn’t even hear the word, “don’t” in the sentence. It hears “elephant”, “pink elephant” and “dancing pink elephant”. If you say you don’t want sweets, chips or sodas, it thinks sweets, chips and sodas. In order to change your habits, you need to change your thoughts – and words.
Here’s what you do. Tell yourself that you now desire healthier foods, snacks and drinks. You want to eat better, to drink water, to exercise. Saying this out loud or silently to yourself has some benefit, but done under hypnosis it is very powerful. When you are under hypnosis you not only access your subconscious mind, you also learn that you can use this state of mind to make significant changes in how you eat, what you drink and when you exercise.
So learn to focus upon what it is you do want, and avoid thinking or saying what you don’t want. And use hypnosis to boost your willpower so that what you consciously think about is supported by a deeper belief within your subconscious mind, improving your ability to permanently change your eating habits.
Can Hypnosis Help You Release Your Fear Of Failure…And Success?
Posted by: | CommentsYou probably know about the fear of failure. The fear of falling short and not wanting to appear weak or ineffective. Not embarrassing yourself in front of others. It can hold you back and keep you from taking risks.
It’s what I call a lower level fear. With some effort you are able to overcome many of these fears. Of course others run deeper. Still, hypnosis is very successful at resolving these fears and empowering your personal growth.
But there is another fear that isn’t so widely known. Yet it can be far more overwhelming and debilitating.
Are you afraid to be all the best that you can be?
I think that the fear of success can be a deeper problem.
Why?
Because it keeps you from moving beyond mediocrity. Triggered when you approach a certain level of success, it ca sabotage your efforts to attain a greater goal.
Think about it.
What would happen if you now lived your life at a level of success and visibility that made you clearly stand out from others? How would you feel if you had to be your best most of the time? Sounds scary? It will be for that part of your subconscious mind that fears you will be exposed as a phony. Since this part of you tries to keep you from expecting too much, from exposing your insecurities, from being made to feel worthless. It does so because it feels that you really are flawed, that you really are unworthy of success. And it supports that belief, demonstrating a negative core belief that you don’t deserve to have it all.
Why would it do this?
It’s the defender of your subconscious beliefs and limitations. It also thinks of you as a child. It will do its best to keep you from being emotionally destroyed by exposing and being too visible. Failure at this level, it believes, could lead to emotional ruin.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us… There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you…“ Marianne Williamson
Hypnosis can help you with this ultimate fear. The fear of becoming who you truly are beneath your limited thinking.
I’m convinced that your destiny is to overcome this old programming and these fears. It’s time to learn that as an adult, things are different now. You deserve to be happy. That’s why hypnosis is so powerful – it helps to change these old, negative beliefs at their core. When you use hypnosis to overcome past limitations and improve your life, you come to realize that this process can help to transfer power from your old, resistive subconscious mind toward your new, healthier subconscious mind.
As you show the resistive part of your subconscious mind that now you do have the capacity to change your life, you begin to experience yourself as the talented, self confident and healthy self that you truly are.
Are you ready to become an inspiration to others? To make the effort to live the life you truly deserve? To fulfill your destiny? If you are, take the next step by listening to this free audio program, the “3 Secrets That Your Subconscious Mind Doesn’t Want You To Know.”

Does Your Critical Inner Voice Keep You From Losing Weight?
Posted by: | CommentsHypnosis is a powerful ally in your struggle to quiet that critical inner voice so that you permanently lose weight. We all have lapses when we overeat or snack on the wrong foods. Far too often you then might experience a bout of self-criticism and disappointment. The “critical inner voice” starts speaking up, and its message is extremely detrimental to your emotional and physical well-being. The voice beats you up by calling you weak or a failure. For some, the inner voice is less harsh, mildly disapproving or merely somewhat gloomy. However you experience it, how you respond is vitally important to your efforts to lose weight.
Why is it so important?
These negative thoughts can, and usually do, sabotage your efforts to lose weight. If you want to lose weight, it is absolutely necessary to overcome this negative self-programming. That critical inner voice can be thought of as that part of you whose job it is to defend and fulfill the beliefs of your subconscious mind. Think of your subconscious mind as a vast library – the repository of all you have seen, heard, felt and experienced. It also contains the template for all of your beliefs and behaviors about what you deserve or, in this case, how you respond to food.
Your critical inner voice operates like a head librarian, deciding upon and implementing policy based upon what you feel you deserve. That voice is actually trying to protect and guide you, although it does not know how to accomplish those goals in a gentle way. It wants you to be strong in the face of life’s challenges. Therefore, like an overbearing parent, it forcefully tries to control your thoughts, emotions and actions. It treats you like a child, convinced that you are unable to deal with stress, anxiety, loneliness, sadness and other feelings. So it has you eat, distracting you from your emotions, escaping from your issues with food or drink. Do you see how powerful it is? It both forces you to do something against your conscious will and then it beats you up for doing it! It overcomes your will power then scolds you for being weak.
Why does it do this?
It wants to remain in control. It feels you are incapable of coping without food or some other form of medication. This cycle of failure keeps you from becoming empowered and regaining control over what you eat and drink.
What is the solution?
Hypnotherapy can be a huge part of ending this cycle of sabotage. It is important to confront the part of you that keeps you from succeeding. Hypnosis gives you access to your subconscious mind, opening a doorway so that you can anchor in new positive beliefs and behaviors, beginning the process of regaining control of your life.
Remember the analogy of your subconscious mind and the library? Often the most popular books in a library are found up front on display. They are current, influential or significant. Hypnosis helps you place up front in your personal library thoughts, beliefs and behaviors that reflect your desire for health.
The more constant and important those thoughts become, the sooner you begin to eat better foods in the right sized portions, reduce snacking (and choose healthier snacks), drink more water and exercise. Hypnotherapy essentially creates in your subconscious mind an ally for your conscious mind, boasting your willpower and ability to resist then transform that critical inner voice.
While hypnosis is very easy to use, you only begin to see the powerful benefits when you experience it. So give yourself the opportunity to listen to a full length, sample session. Click on this link and download the free:
