Don’t Forget Your Greatest Ally: Self-hypnosis

Finally, here are some additional hypnotic suggestions you can use when working on overcoming emotional eating and having healthier responses to stress.

Emotional eating

• I am in control of my emotions.
• I chose to experience love and joy in my life.
• I am at peace with myself, the world and everyone in it.
• I am excited about today.
• I am excited about my life.
• I love my life.
• Food nourishes my body; love nurtures my heart and soul.
• I eat only when I am physically hungry.

Stress control

• I am calm and relaxed in all situations.
• I see things in their true perspective and keep them in proper proportion.
• Whenever I feel the beginning of any tension, anxiety, or fear, I automatically use the Relaxation Response taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly. I instantly feel a wave of relaxation cover over me and through me from the top of my head down to the tips of my toes.

• I am free of stress.

• I stop worrying about the future.
• I am becoming more aware in the present moment.

• I give myself time to relax.
• I enjoy what I am doing.

Many people come to a hypnotherapist thinking there is something about trance that is different than their normal state of consciousness, but this simply is not the case. A light trance feels no different from relaxation. No matter how deep into trance one goes, there is a feeling of familiarity. Do not expect to feel hypnotized. Do expect to feel relaxed.

Did you know that good habits are as addictive as bad habits? I don’t think that most people realize that. I frequently hear from Seattle hypnosis and Bainbridge Island hypnosis clients that the behavior they want to change is habit – one that they feel they can’t break. Actually, end bad habits and creating healthy new habits can be really easy with hypnosis. I teach all my clients self hypnosis so that they have the life long skill of hypnotherapy to make healthy changes in their life. Good habits are as addictive as bad habits and whole lot more rewarding!

“Good habits are as addictive as bad habits, and a lot more rewarding.” ~ Harvey Mackay

It takes about 21 days to change bad habits and to replace them with new ones. Even as you focus on the new habit, the new you, you still must face the reality of giving up the old habit. Abstinence alone isn’t enough to hold us when it comes to dropping an old habit. We need to find a new focus that’s more enticing, more compelling than the old habit, to shift interest and energy to a new way of living.

Healthy habits are ultimately about getting up every morning and choosing to do the “right” thing for your body. Every day requires a renewed commitment and a willingness to be present and accountable for your actions. Once you have the tools and motivation, the change is up to you! Self hypnosis can help you with that motivation.

Good habits can become just as addictive as bad habits; the only difference is that the good habits are a lot more rewarding.  A healthy addiction to a healthy habit can really help us stay on track when it comes to our weight loss and fitness goals.

The light switch self-hypnosis technique allows you to quickly and easily create healthy addictions to healthy habits. Here at Hypnosis Health Info you can learn hypnosis to change your habits. Learn hypnosis and change your life.

“A habit is something you can do without thinking – which is why most of us have so many of them.”  ~Frank A. Clark

I was immediately taken in when I saw “Life has no remote. Get up and change it yourself.” “YES!, YES!, YES!”, I thought. Changing it yourself is what self hypnosis is all about. I smile when people come to my Seattle hypnosis office, Bainbridge Island hypnosis office or contact me for Skype sessions wanting me to change them. Many people still think that hypnosis is about me hypnotizing them and they do what I say. If that were the case, we’d have world peace, we’d all have healthcare, a warm bed, dry roof, plenty of healthy plant-strong food to eat and more time to play. (And yes, I readily acknowledge my bias on how I would fix things.) I teach the hypnosis skills so that you can make the changes you want it your life (without my bias). If you are ready to change yourself, learn hypnosis and change your life.

Change requires faith in the unknown. Change can be scary. Unfortunately, all too often, people equate action with change. Just buying a gym membership is not change. You still have to show up and do the work. Hypnosis is one of the most powerful change techniques known to mankind. All too often, people will use hypnosis only when they are in trouble. Then, when things are going well, they stop…….and then later on wonder why they back in trouble. This is much like many people only pray for God’s help when life isn’t working for them and then neglect to thank Him for life’s abundance when life works.

If you are ready to to get up and change your life, look up in the orange menu bar here at Hypnosis Health Info and you will see many opportunities for creating change in your life. Everything you need to easily learn hypnosis and how to incorporate self hypnosis into your life is here, for FREE. And, if you have questions on how to hypnotize yourself, leave me a comment below and I am happy to personally respond. Now, get  up and change your life.

Ironman Triathlon Will Cap Amputee’s Amazing Comeback

King5, Posted on March 30, 2012, REDMOND, Washington: Some might consider it amazing that a 57-year-old man is training to compete in his first Ironman triathlon.

Even more people would consider it amazing that the man, Ed Sproull, is an amputee who wears a prosthetic just below his left knee joint.

But it might very well be Sproull’s past that makes the story truly amazing.

“I believe in a God of second chances,” he said. “No doubt.”

Sproull lost his leg in 1981 during a motorcycle accident.

But the accident was by no means a wake-up call for Sproull. From there, things only got worse. In 1991, he was arrested and sentenced to 6 years in prison for drug trafficking.

By the time Sproull left prison, he had earned an associate degree. He then enrolled at Case Western University in Cleveland, earning a bachelor’s degree and then a master’s. Before long, he was moving to Seattle to work at Microsoft.

Then, in 2001, he met his future wife Linda.

The transformation did not stop there. Both Ed and Linda admit they were overweight until about five years ago. Hardened arteries killed Ed’s father; heart disease took away Linda’s dad. So they both decided to join the 20/20 Lifestyles program at the PRO Sports Club in Redmond.

“We wanted to live a longer life, a healthier life,” Linda Sproull said.

Ed Sproull lost about 40 pounds and did not stop there. He has now completed 20 triathlons and is training for Ironman Coeur d’Alene this June. To successfully complete the event, he will need to swim 2.4 miles, cycle 112 miles, then run a marathon (26.2 miles).

“I don’t care how far you’ve fallen, how bad a condition you’re in physically, how bad a condition you’re in spiritually, just how bad you are in life,” he said. “You can turn it around.”

We all struggle. We all fall down. Those of us with challenges with food have all “cheated” and eaten food that makes us fat. You can either go into the trance of “I have failed and eaten 3 Oreos so I might as well eat the whole packaged.” Or, you can give your self different hypnosis suggestions like, “I am turning this around.” Learn self hypnosis and create success in your life.

HYPNOSIS DEMYSTIFIED

In the September 27, 2006 issue of Newsweek magazine, Dr. David Spiegel of Stanford University School of Medicine, said: “One of the interesting ironies about hypnosis is that old fantasy that it takes away control. It’s actually a way of enhancing people’s control, of teaching them how to control aspects of their body’s function and sensation that they thought they couldn’t.”

When in trance you may not even feel hypnotized. Hypnosis is so normal and so natural and so familiar that when you go into trance, it just feels like the same old thing that you have done before, even in deep trance. For most people, a light trance is all that is necessary to obtain results.

Read HYPNOSIS DEMYSTIFIED

It only makes sense to learn hypnosis and put your thoughts and words to work for you. Imagine the success you can have in life with relationships, financial abundance, weight loss and other health issues if you gave yourself the suggestions “I Can Do This….. I Got It!”

Just think what would happen if anytime you started craving something sweet or salty if you gave yourself the hypnosis suggestion that “I crave vegetables and fruit,” and that is what you imagined and thought about. The sweet or salty craving will go away and you will find yourself snacking on vegetables and fruit. Learn how to hypnotize yourself and change your thoughts for success.
