Get Control of your Life (<back to article archive)

A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.

How will you be gaining control of your life this year? What will be your resolution? Will it be to get fit? Will it be to lose those few extra pounds? Will it be to stop smoking?

In my last two articles, I spoke about smoking cessation- in this article I would like to explain how hypnotherapy can help with weight control.

Now that the festivities are over and a lot of you have returned from trips to the UK and having done the “visit “ round of friends and relatives-drinking too much, eating too much. I guess some of you are feeling bloated and sluggish after all the turkey, Christmas pudding, mince pies, trifle –loaded with calories- not to mention the wine and spirits consumed during this period-also loaded with calories.

It is time now to off load those extra few pounds and get fit. I am going to give you some suggestions on how it can be done. First I am going to give you a few helpful tips, and then I will explain how hypnotherapy can make it easier for you.

Weight loss depends on two criteria:
1. Eating healthily-you are not on a diet or anything. Just divide your smaller plate in to quarters and have one quarter protein, one quarter carbohydrate and two quarters steamed fresh vegetables or salad(Cyprus is full of them) drink two litres of water a day.

2. Excercise to burn off the calories. It need not be vigorous exercise. A brisk walk along the beach, feeling the sun on your face, the breeze gently through your hair-pause for a while to watch the sun set. See everything as if you have just arrived on earth, new bright and sparkling clean. Look around you and see the colours and the beauty.Or a gentle swim. You may increase your exercise each day to your own level.

Not only will you be slimmer, you'll be fitter too. Be determined that TODAY you can make your life as good as you possibly can in every way.

Start the year this way and resolve to treat your body with the respect it deserves and soon you will feel how good it is to have a strong and healthy body. Your mind will also be wonderfully healthy and calm.

Affirmations may also play a large part in taking control of your life. For example : when you wake up in the morning say out loud with gusto for a few minutes “EVERY DAY IN EVERY WAY I AM GETTING FITTER AND FITTER” or “ EACH AND EVERY DAY IN EVERY WAY I AM FEELING BETTER AND BETTER”. Something along these lines making sure that the statement you use is POSITIVE.

Most urges or hunger pangs do not occur because of physical withdrawal and a need to eat; they are triggered by unrelated things like the time of day, certain people we are around, a type of feeling, or the kids coming home from school. Hunger pangs are always brief and time limited. Many people don't realize and fear that the hunger pangs won't stop unless they eat. A conditional response seldom lasts long when you don't indulge it. They get weaker and weaker and easier to ignore. So the use of self hypnosis by talking to yourself in your mind, reminding yourself that in a minute or two it will go away. Or an appointment with a Hypnotherapist will help too by giving you suggestions to strengthen your ego, taking control and helping with self esteem.

Starting today, you can have a new life, enjoying everything around you. Enjoy being alive. Feeling good to be alive with a calm and peaceful mind.
