5 Ways Hypnosis can Help You in a Recession

Friday, November 13th, 2009

Can Hypnosis and Self Hypnosis really help me in a recession ? Sure it can, and I’ll give you 5 easy ways that it will.

  1. To keep a positive attitude and be optimistic.
  2. It’s natural to get down when times are tough, however, the tought times are the times when we most need to be positive and optimistic. If we are in a situation where our employer is cutting back, the positive and optimistic people are a commodity that a company wants to keep. Morale is a problem when layoffs occur and an employee with a good attitude is needed to keep a company going. A positive attitude, under all circumstances, can separate you from the crowd in the view of management and place you in a position of being noticed for advancement in the future. Optimism and a positive attitude are contagious and can often be overlooked by all of us as assets that we bring to our job. Hypnosis and Self Hypnosis are valuable tools to keep us in a good mental attitude to be resilient and benefit from those tough times.

  3. To overcome fears and uncertainty.
  4. Recessions are definitely scary times. At my age, I’ve lived through them before, but our recent times have been quite good for a long while and many people have never lived through these events. They do end, but that doesn’t help the fears that we have during them. Distressed economic situations cause many personal, family and social problems. People lose jobs, houses, cars and sometimes even worse. Now, that doesn’t mean that will happen to you and it doesn’t do you any good to lie awake at night worrying. In tough times we all need clear thinking, not worrying. Hypnosis and Self Hypnosis can help us to overcome our fears, think clearly and make wise decisions.

  5. To be at your best in situations that you need to.
  6. Recessions present all types of situations that we wouldn’t expect and it helps to be at our personal best when they arise. If something would happen that would really change our situation, such as a layoff or a family member laid off, we might need to make some tough decisions and take some new actions. If we would need to look for another job, we will need determination and motivation. If we get a job interview, we need to present our best to a prospective employer. All of these types of situations require being at your best and Hypnosis and Self Hypnosis can help you to be at your best when you need to be.

  7. To relieve your daily stress.
  8. Tough times are tense times, make no mistake about it. Stress can make us depressed, make us get sick, weakens us and takes away our drive and attitude. During a tough time we really need strength and stamina and to be free from draining stress. Hypnosis and Self Hypnosis are the best ways to deal with our daily stress so that we can rest and relax when we need to.

  9. To keep your motivation and determination high.
  10. Just as optimism and positive attitude are contagious, so are pessimism and negative attitude and you may find yourself surrounded by it. If we don’t have methods like Self Hypnosis to use, it’s very easy to buy-in to all of the above mentioned dilemmas. However, Hypnosis provides us with a proven method to keep us on the right track and going in the right direction, regardless of what the rest of the world is doing.

Hopefully those give you a few ideas of some of the great benefits that Hypnosis and Self Hypnosis can bring you in a recession. Always remember that recessions are times of great opportunity. While we are always told of the many people who were ruined in the Great Depression of 1929, there were also many who were able to take advantage of situations that arose to become greatly prosperous. I would imagine that those people possessed some of the same things we just talked about.

Losing Weight for the Holidays

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Unfortunately, many of my clients find a need to wait until after “The Holidays” to start making changes and losing extra weight they may be carrying.  They feel as if they will miss something or not enjoy their fun. Nothing could be further from the truth and I’ll give you 5 good reasons why you can lose weight during the holidays in 2009.

  1. Making changes in your attitude immediately about eating is important before you make your situation worse.
  2. The time to make changes in the way you eat is definitely before you go out and repeat all the same behaviors that got you in your situation in the first place. Eating in a positive manner is a big advantage in the holidays because it helps you feel better, both mentally and physically. Food is to be enjoyed and celebrated, that is not our problem. What we do with it and how we use it is.  With hypnosis we can change the way we eat and how much and be free to really enjoy it, without the unhealthy side effects. Now is the time to change with hypnosis, not later.

  3. Hypnosis is an easy, quick and effective way of changing your attitude without changing your enjoyment.
  4. Hypnosis makes quick changes easy for us. As long as we want the changes, they happen for us. Something as simple as eating slower and letting our sense of “fullness” kick in during holiday meals is a simple change, but can have big results on your weight. Just eating smaller portions and enjoying them more helps also. These are all easy changes you can make before the holidays and enjoy the benefits after.

  5. Good Eating Habits will help us survive and thrive in the holidays.
  6. We need our strength and endurance during the holidays. Whether it be visiting family, shopping, traveling or attending parties, we need to keep up our energy level and get all of our obligations done. Eating in a positive manners helps us by giving us energy, keeping us fit and alert and allowing us to enjoy all of these special times. It’s like running your car on premium gas, you can feel the difference.

  7. Good Eating Habits will prevent us from getting sick on the holidays.
  8. Have you ever run yourself right down into an illness right at the holidays ? Did too much and just crashed and burned when the big days came ? Poor eating opens us up for illness. Our immune system is under stress anyway from everywhere when we are in contact with thousands in stores, at parties and around town. The holidays are the worst time to not be strong and resilient and using hypnosis and self hypnosis to eat right can mean the difference between a good time and a bad time this holiday season.

  9. You don’t have to lose any weight that you haven’t gained.
  10. If you don’t gain weight, you have no reason to lose weight. It sounds simple and it is. Any extra weight that you do not gain over the holidays is weight that you don’t have to worry about losing, feel guilty about having and stand in the way of you looking and feeling good all winter.

Well, there is 5 good reasons why you can, and should, lose weight this holiday season. Hypnosis makes weight loss simple by helping us to change eating habits in a positive way. We can enjoy ourselves and enjoy life while feeling better and looking better. Take a moment and rethink your ideas about losing weight this year and consider starting before the holidays to make your 2010 better already.

Remember, January 4th 2010 is World Hypnotism Day. You can be well on your way to your ideal weight by then. Call Chester County Hypnosis at 610-296-4929 for details.
