Why let a little white stick control you - regain control and overcome the habit of smoking. Stopping smoking is never easy but hypnosis makes it easier. Please see earlier posts about how to stop smoking or visit www.stopsmokingwithease.com for more information.
It is that time of year again when we look back at 2007 and look forward to wonderful changes in 2008. We make our list - stop smoking, lose weight, join the gym, look for a new job, look for a promotion, look for more money etc. What’s on your list. What happens - New Year’s Eve is full of great of intentions, then New Year’s Day dawns - more than likely you are perhaps a little worse for wear and you need a fry - there goes the diet on the very first day of the 2008. You light up automatically - well, let’s not waste the new box of cigarettes that you bought last night. Where’s the gym - sign up, pay your money and then comes February - not exactly seeing results fast enough - why bother.
Shall we explore what’s happening - you are trying to make too many changes together which boggles the mind so it sabotages your efforts. Why not plan a change for each month instead - January (always a poor month) get your finances in order. Determine if you’re worth it. February start walking before you hand over your money to a gym - is the gym a place for you. March - get ready for summer, watch what you are eating. April - Spring is in the air, still cold but more light and enjoying your walks or little runs. Get ready for a mini-marathan and raise money for charity. June - what change would you like to make for yourself…..
Can you see a pattern emerging? Break down what changes you want to make and make them fit into the calender. Do your really see yourself eating salads in the bleak days of January? And the beauty of this method is that by the time you reach this time next year you are slimmer and fitter, in a much better place physically and mentally so that you really have no major change to make.
Next Friday is World Hypnotherapy Day - a day used to open minds and disspell myths about hypnosis and hypnotherapy. From my point of view as a practising hypnotherapist, I feel that hypnosis is a much under valued and under used tool to bring about positive change in one’s life.
Forget what you see in stage shows or movies or TV - no-one can control you except yourself. All hypnosis (a deep concentrated relaxation) is self hypnosis. You are in control. Your therapist is like a tour guide - showing you how to access the deep recesses of your subconscious mind to bring about change. You can stop unwanted habits, overcome anxiety and stress, banish guilt feelings, become more confident - as long as you really want to - words are great but the magic lies in the feeling behind the words. How many times do you say “I wish I had more confidence” and then go and let someone else take control or “I wish I could stop smoking” while reaching for the next cigarette. We all want to be richer, slimmer, more confident but if you can harness what these things mean to you and how different your life would be with or without it then you can make it happen. What the mind can believe, the mind can achieve. So the next time to reach for a Xanax to calm you think about hypnotherapy and you learn a skill for life.
