Overweight? Time to think yourself thin
A high percent of diets work on denying the foods you want. And, let's face it, the more you think about what you CAN'T eat, the more you want it. So - even though you might last days on the latest fad diet, you will eventually fail. That is why clinical hypnotherapists use hypnosis to help you change your thinking, so you feel a "yes" as you imagine yourself already thin. The benefit? When you actually see yourself getting thin by eating healthy foods and enjoying them, that "CAN'T gets reduced while your enjoyment goes up.
Hypnosis Isn't Nearly As Weird As You Think
Is hypnosis something you have been interested in? Many have been able to change bad habits, such as smoking and overeating, with hypnosis. However, given what you have seen with recreational stage hypnosis, you might have some reservations about what will happen to you under hypnosis. For example, you might be concerned that you will be under control of someone, or that you might do embarrassing things.
Change your mind first with hypnosis
Everyone has a habit that they don’t like or something that they want to change. This may be something like smoking or trying to lose weight. Many people have been going about this the wrong way. Today, there is research that shows that hypnosis is very successful in helping people make changes in their lives. This is due to two factors:
- People's money is on the line, and
- Hypnosis focuses on the person’s goals and then pushes them to achieve those goals.
