Lose Stubborn Pounds with Self Hypnosis

How many times have you started a new diet only to become frustrated when you don't lose the weight? Do you start strong but ditch it when you hit that plateau? Do you wish you could be happy, confident and lose weight? If you answered yes to any of these, consider using self hypnosis.

Do you have concerns about self hypnosis? The American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH) approves using self hypnosis for weight loss. In fact, studies show that participants using self hypnosis have a 97% increase of success.

What are some of your obstacles in reaching your ideal weight? Make a list and see if there's a pattern. Are your obstacles more behavior related or mind related. Do you think you'll never fit into that skinny, black dress? Do you want to be healthier but can't say no to a gallon of chocolate chip ice cream? Your thoughts and behaviors lead to the reasons you feel frustrated, discouraged and helpless.

How does self hypnosis work? First, understand that self hypnosis is considered an adjunct tool, which means you can use it in combination with other things. Of course, you can also use it alone with great success. If you already have a diet and exercise plan in mind (and hopefully, one that's approved by your doctor), go ahead and use it. You'll find even greater success by supplementing with self hypnosis CDs or MP3s.

Hypnosis is a relaxed and natural state that you've already experienced. You probably didn't call it by that term, but you've actually been in a hypnotic state when you became so involved in a movie that you didn't hear people around you. Have you ever driven to your destination without remembering every turn or stop light? Yes, that's another example of hypnosis, and who hasn't done that?

Of course, self hypnosis is more beneficial than losing track of time while driving. Self hypnosis can help you get rid of negative thoughts and behaviors. Your mind doesn't have to struggle with the typical distractions and limiting beliefs so you can concentrate on what you truly want.

Self hypnosis is safe and powerful. If you're ready to change your life and health, and take control, it's time to give self hypnosis a try.
