Changing Course Holistically.....

Whatever we play in our thought processes becomes the goal. If we play "I can't " or "I can" messages, the outcomes will be different. It is as simple as that. Most of the day we are guilty of programming ourselves for negative outcomes. Have a look at your casual talk. Listen to that of others. You will hear it all around you, sometimes as a joke, but negative just the same. The subconscious mind does not have a sense of humor, and takes the casual talk at face value. In self-hypnosis we can learn to alert ourselves, not only to casual talk, but to any thought process which is not in keeping with our goal.

We can also program ourselves to change behaviors and emotions related to behaviors. Self-hypnosis is a natural function of the mind/body and is health-producing. During the actual process we stop producing stress chemicals, and instead produce healing chemicals. We can easily examine our problems or issues through disassociation, and program the successful outcomes clearly.

Once this is achieved, the subconscious mind can assist in the working plans, as the mind works backwards. Once the goal is clear, the action begins in a step- wise fashion. As you work on weight management issues, you will frequently find other positive changes occurring in you life. The techniques lend to improved goal setting, time management, clarity of thought, as well as ease in decision making across the board. When you are placing affirmations in self- hypnosis, you can easily add others for different goals.

Change through self-hypnosis is very different than making changes consciously. With self-hypnosis one is often surprised at their level of creativity in face of adversity, and how ideas seem to flow quite effortlessly, and how easy it seems to be compared to the way it used to be. As we practice these new tools and techniques, just as in any other activity of life, we get better and better. It is possible to utilize self-hypnosis at any time the need arises, be it in the middle of a meeting, during a test, during a confrontation, when writing a report, or when experiencing writer's block, to name a few. I call this interactive self-hypnosis, and it is an extremely valuable asset for anyone to have available.

So now you are ready to move forward holistically....

Everything you need is right within yourself, waiting for you to command it. Your responsibility is to make certain you are giving your mind and body the type of nutrition it needs, the stress management it requires, and the correct input of data concerning what you would like to achieve. As we look at this concept, it is now easy for us to understand what was wrong previously, and it becomes abundantly clear how much power we have if we choose to live at optimum levels of mind/body functioning.

Mind Opening Questions

Take some time to work with the areas below in a light self-hypnotic trance. Simply allow yourself to relax deeply into the chair where you are resting, close your eyes gently and tilt them up about twenty degrees, counting backwards from five to one. You are now ready to receive the following answers:

1. What are the most important parts of this article as it relates to you?
2. What is the most important change you need to make?
3. How will you make this change? What action steps do you need to make today?
4. How does you current nutrition plan affect your levels of stress? What things will you change beginning today?
5. Describe how you will feel when you new nutritional plan is in place. In your mind's eye see yourself feeling better than before. How will this affect other areas of your life?
