Many believe that they lack willpower when it comes to losing weight, but willpower has little to do with it. The online dictionary defines willpower as 1. the ability to control oneself and determine one's actions 2. firmness of will. When one thinks that they lack the willpower to lose weight they are really saying the cannot control themselves or if they have an issue with deserts they are saying that they do not have the ability to control their actions. How can a person control their actions if they do not first change their thought process? If we have been raised eating particular foods and that is what we know then it is not willpower it is not self control, it IS their belief system. Our thoughts create our beliefs and our beliefs create out reality. If all we know, seen and been taught (consciously or subconsciously) that certain foods taste better then that created the belief system. Then their are other factors in our society as well that have molded our belief system without any of us aware that it was happening. Television is one of the most powerful, subliminal, subconscious tools in the world. There are millions of dollars spent on creating the perfect commercial that contains many messages that are in a way brainwashing. The more we see a pleasing picture of a well made pizza with beautiful, pleasing people, in a visually pleasing environment then before we know it we are thinking of that pizza, then we believe we would like to have that pizza, yes that is a form of brainwashing, but brainwashing that we do to ourselves by choosing to watch. If there are commercials for animals that are ill and are in need then the visuals are even more powerful so that you will pick up the phone and call in your donation to help that poor animal. Drama sells and the more we fill our minds with drama our reality becomes dramatic. There is a misconception that hypnosis/hypnotherapy makes you lose weight, that is wrong. Hypnosis doesn't make you lose weight, it is not a magic pill, voo doo or mind control. Hypnosis can help you change your thought process, which then changes your belief system and therefore changes your reality. If you think you cannot do something (no matter what it is), then you believe you cannot and so therefore you won't do it simply because your first thought is that you cannot. Our belief system controls everything we do in life, good or bad. Wars are started and continue due to the belief system. It is not conviction that controls us, it is
the belief system. There is a difference between conviction and personal preference. Your conviction supports your belief system and you are willing to possibly give your life for that belief. Personal preference is not belief driven it is jut a preference, a choice that you may be willing to change if needed or wanted. What does all this have to do with losing weight you ask, Everything! You must change your thought process about food in order to lose weight. You can do on diets but the thought pattern must change with the diet change. All your mind knows is what its been taught, told, seen or experienced. It is all anchored in our minds and with every thought, good or bad, there is a physical change within the body. If you were rewarded with candy as a child for doing good then that is anchored in your mind as a pleasant, good thing. So when you want to feel rewarded and feel that good feeling that you felt as a child being rewarded you reach for what you know and been taught, you reach for candy. If you family
only gathered on holidays, the table was overflowing with unhealthy food and the family was very happy then that same feeling is connected to those foods and we therefore see them as comfort when we feel down. When we reach for these things we aren't necessarily looking for the taste of the food nor do we necessarily think they taste better, we are looking for the subconscious feeling we get from eating them because they are directly connected to being rewarded, family occasions, birthdays, etc. Like I said hypnosis cannot take the weight off your body, you take that weight off by changing what you eat, how much you eat and exercise. Hypnosis helps you change your thought patterns and beliefs so that you do change what you eat, how much you eat and exercise. Hypnosis is a very powerful tool that we have always had, it is the power of thought, the problem is that we do not use it or simply do not know how to use it. Our minds control everything that goes on within us, it heals our bodies. Why do more people
not use this wonderful tool? Fear, people fear what they do not know. Also because they simply do not like change, even though they know that they need or must change their lives. People fear the unknown, not knowing who they might be if they were thinner or healthier, sounds strange? Many of us it is our identity to be overweight, too thin, depressed, angry, ill. Hypnosis can help every aspect of
your life and all we need to do is simply use it to change our thoughts and therefore improve our lives.
