How to Hypnotize Yourself to Lose Weight

Source: 15 Minute Weight Loss

Hypnosis is mind training. Everyone can master their mind through self hypnosis. It is a state when you are relaxed and focused in which you become unaware of your surrounding as you focus your mind for what you want to achieve.

One of the powerful techniques of hypnosis is visualisation. By using your imagination, you can create virtual experiences and powerful “memories” that help you to believe that you already achieved your goal.

Think Yourself Thin: 7 Secrets of Hypnosis for Weight Loss

It sounds too good to be true, but experts genuinely believe that by changing our thought processes, we can self-hypnotise our way to better health. We caught up with professional hypnotherapist Tom Fortes Mayer to find out how we can practise his techniques at home...

Stop Thinking About the Future

Start today! If we tell ourselves we’re going to start going to the gym next week, or that we’ll be thin in six months time then all that our unconscious hears is that right now we don’t go to the gym and we’re fat - and that blocks all of our attempts to change. Instead, we need to do whatever we can to focus on feeling fit and healthy right now.

Negative Thinking for Weight Loss

(Fair warning: - the material below is very controversial with many of our readers - I 

receive more strongly opinionated letters on this than any other email)

Let's face it , your physical health is as important as your mental health for your overall well-being.

But mental and physical health go hand-in-hand... this is because getting in shape is just as much, if not more, a mental and emotional process as it a physical one.

Even if you get the physical results, you still need to make sure  that you make the changes needed in your mind and emotions so that your new behaviors stick.

Could there be any truth to those claims that you can think yourself thinner? On the surface it doesn't seem likely, since it is hard to imagine how you could change your metabolic rate (the rate at which you burn fat) simply by changing your way of thinking.

But of course changing your metabolic rate isn't the only way to think yourself thinner. If you can convince yourself to adopt habits that reduce the amount of food you eat, or change the types of foods you eat to a more healthy selection, then you are going to lose weight.

That's not rocket science. The trouble is that it can be hard to implement healthy habits, especially if you are saddled with bad ones that you have picked up over the duration of your lifetime.

Is Willpower the Key to Success and Happiness?

By Jon Henley/ Source: The Guardian

In the smart restaurant of a very smart hotel in the West End of London, Roy F Baumeister, eminent American social psychology professor, orders a lunch of fish and chips, and then decides not to eat the chips. "I won't eat something that's not good for me unless it's absolutely perfect, and it's going to give me real pleasure," he says. "I'm afraid... Well, it just didn't look like these were going to do either."

What willpower, you might say. You'd be right; the chips looked pretty good. But Baumeister is also, coincidentally, a leading authority on that very subject, and has just published a smash-hit book on it with New York Times science writer John Tierney.

Willpower: Rediscovering Our Greatest Strength distills three decades of academic research (Baumeister's contribution) into self-control and willpower, which the Florida State University social psychologist bluntly identifies as "the key to success and a happy life".
