Self-hypnosis is an easy and quick way to create good habits to lose body fat. Many dieters and exercisers don't know how much the subconscious mind needs to be exercised and nourished in order to modify behavior. Because that's where our motivations and habits improve or worsen.
Modern psychology studies show that the self-defeating thoughts hidden deep within us are almost always stronger than our instincts (our conscious minds). That's why -- even though you know you shouldn't be eating those cupcakes -- you do it anyway. The hypnotherapist (or self-hypnosis audio) reprograms your habits to make you aware of what you're eating, how to control your appetite, how much your eating, why you should move and how. All in a natural, relaxing way.
People need more answers about reducing body fat with hypnosis because they have questions like: How long it would take? How do I set goals? What can I expect?
Let me tell about one of my weight-loss hypnosis clients. Her body-image was shot because of how much post-pregnancy weight she had gained. So she told me what got her thinking about changing her weight-loss habits with hypnosis:
Brenda's boyfriend comes through their front door and announces, "Honey, forget Grey's Anatomy. Tonight I want to have you snuggle next to me by the fire and help you reach a whole new pleasure plateau."
"Am I dreaming?" she wonders. "Joe must've lost touch with reality. How could he like me now that I'm a size 18?"
So Brenda tears into her kitchen and starts throwing out all the chips, cookies and chocolate she can get her hands on. She tells herself she's got to get back to her bikini-weight. She's got to stop feeling so embarrassed the way she is now.
OK... What's she going to do. Count calories? Sweat? Get bored and give up after a month or two. Again! She's tried Flat-Belly, Atkins, Glycemic Index, Mediterranean, Slim Fast, South Beach, Jenny Craig. She's moved with jazzerobics, weight training, jogging. But the excess weight still came back.
"I can't find the motivation to do the right things after my regular New Year's resolutions," she says.
A friend of hers, Ivy, recommended that Brenda purchase some self hypnosis weight-loss audios. But Brenda's not sure they'll really work. Ivy tells her that hypnosis is a much easier quick way to lose body fat than doing just diet and exercise alone. (Brenda's friend's correct.)
Brenda and many other people still have questions about weight-loss hypnosis though:
1. "How can self-hypnosis improve my willpower?" Answer: It can help your subconscious overcome your deep motivation issues, which is the roadblock for many people to get things going and make it part of a new healthy lifestyle. Here's what you need to do:
* Hypnotherapy sessions: Determine to see your hypnotherapist for the one to five sessions. After them, do your homework: get your therapist to make a session audio CD for you, and pay particular attention to the induction and suggestion phases of it (usually 20 minutes or so) each day. This will reinforce the imprinting of new good habits.
* If you're reading a good weight-loss self-hypnosis script (or listening to an audio), resolve to set aside at least 20 minutes per day for about two weeks and then three times per week for another two weeks.
2. "How does hypnotherapy (or self-hypnosis) work with my specific diet and exercise plan?" Answer: Ask your hypnotherapist to create suggestions that incorporate your diet goals (if your into Atkins, have him use words like "sugar-free" and "starch-free"and "low carbs," for instance. If you like walking more than running, have him prepare words that describe how fun, relaxing and beneficial walking would be. Weight-loss hypnosis is a very important supplement to a healthy eating and exercise plan. Most important is to have the words be positive and specific to your needs and preferences.
Let me list the ways self-hypnosis can help everyone to lose body fat:
* Changes how you feel about your appetite
* Diminishes your food cravings
* Quiets your need to overeat
* Encourages you to eat smartly (with colorful, vibrant and flavorful healthy smaller portions)
* Gets you to happily move in the way you want (gently or active-ballistically)
* Makes it a lifestyle and not a temporary fix
Dieters tell me they often feel helpless and alone in their uphill climb toward their goal body weights. Good self-hypnosis geared toward the goals of health enthusiast can be an oasis of personal strength in these struggles.
Let self-hypnosis become your secret dieting weapon! Now body fat can come off once-and-for-all and you'll enjoy a more health and energy.
