Edit PostEat Right – Eat Your Way To Good Health


This is the so-called “jet-age”, the age where everything is “instant”, the age of fast food, 2-minute noodles, ready-to-eat dishes and so on. While this is highly convenient for all of us, especially for those of us who work full-time and have very little time, energy or patience to spend in the kitchen, it also does not come without its negatives.

Processed, canned and instant foods are often too high in sodium, saturated fats and other artificial additives. Some brands of instant noodles are coated with a kind of non-sticky edible wax, which could prove to be dangerous if consumed too much and too often. Pizzas, though delicious to the taste buds, come packed with high calories (thanks to all that yummy cheese topping) and high sodium levels as well.

Eating right involves cutting down as far as possible on all the above types of “instant” foods and start incorporated more raw vegetables and fruits in your everyday diet. This does not immediately go to imply that you should completely stop eating the above varieties of food – it simply means that you should try and regulate the amount of junk food you consume and, instead, try to consume as much natural foods as possible. Remember, eating right is the best way to achieve good health!

How Words Influence Your Life – The Role Of Hypnotherapy

You must be wondering what kind of a topic this must be. How could words probably affect your life and living, right? Wrong! You would be amazed if you know exactly what kind of impact the words you choose to speak can have on your life as a whole. Read on to know more…..

The word, ‘try’

Let us take the word, ‘TRY’, for instance. Have you ever known someone who actually DOES something when they say they would try? This ‘trying to do something’ in itself is a minor deception in a way!

Someone who says they would try to drop in at your party never actually do. Likewise, one who promises to try to return your call on time mostly never will! Someone who has promised to try to lose weight or kick some addictive habit is only lying to himself. He will most probably never get to doing it. Hence, you either do something or you do not – there can never be anything like ‘trying’ to do!

So how do we get rid of this devil who ‘tries’ his best to ruin our lives? How do we stop cheating ourselves and get going with our lives to experience that success we so deserve?

The very first step we can take towards eliminating the problem forever is to become aware of how often we are using it. Very often, we do not even realize how we are going about preparing to cheat our own selves! Once we acknowledge the fault, we will automatically go ahead to deal with it effectively.

The word, ‘should’

The other little evil devil is the word, ‘should’. We quite often think of what we ‘should’ be doing, but again, never really get to doing it. For instance, we may state that we ‘should’ be starting studying for the exams soon. But instead of actually starting studies right away, we usually use this ‘should’ as a method to avoid starting our studies on time.

Now how do you get out of this one? Just like in the previous case, you first have to acknowledge the existence of the problem. You would do very to replace the word ‘should’ by something a lot more proactive, like ‘need to’. That itself will create a sense of urgency in your mind, to undertake that particular task.

The word, ‘cannot’

The word, ‘cannot’ is yet another one of those in your everyday vocabulary that has the potential to give you a tremendous amount of trouble! This word, ‘cannot’, immediately gives your subconscious the feel of failure. This again, actually translates into action and ends up going against you.

If you find yourself using the word, ‘cannot’, too often, do not worry. Every problem has a solution, so does this one. Maybe you could start using the statement, ‘will not’, instead. That is definitely not so negative, so you would be giving your subconscious the impression that you are not doing something because you merely do not want to do it, not because you cannot do it.

The other advantage of using ‘will not’ is that you can always easily shift to ‘will’ whenever you feel you are fit to handle the issue.

Conclusion

The above analysis shows us how important words are in our lives and how appropriate usage of the same can change our lives for the better. Hypnotherapy can play a vital role in molding your thought patterns, thereby making a happier and more successful person of you!

Hypnotism – The Mind Body Connection!

There was once a time when hypnotism was not really given the respect it deserves. Thought to be a cheap trick performed by some sleigh of the hand, the true value of this science is coming to be known only today.

Shedding its unwanted past glamour, hypnotism is now rapidly emerging as a perfect alternative treatment that can be used for healing and curing even certain rare conditions which do not respond to any other kind of treatment. The spectrum of hypnosis includes anything psychosomatic to actual physical disorders.

The root cause of any disease is the mind. Anything and everything negative that we experience actually sprouts out from the mind. Hence, if the mind is cured of its pain, the body responds accordingly and heals itself automatically.

Hypnotism is used today even for events like painless childbirth, surgery and so on. Why, this technique has also been employed effectively in the case of alcoholics and chain-smokers, who have succeeded in giving up their habits post a few hypnotherapy sessions.

Of course, there are also other very effective methods such as psychotherapy and cognitive behavior therapy, but hypnosis is slowly and steadily moving forward and is now considered to have the potential enough to become the most powerful source of wellness.

How exactly does hypnosis work?

There are critics of hypnosis who claim that this technique is only a method of relaxing and calming the mind and nothing else. But those who actually practice this wonderful science say there is much more to it. Hypnosis is no more viewed as something that puts the subject completely to sleep, with him surrendering his entire being at the mercy of the hypnotherapist.

Hypnosis, on the other hand, helps the subject relax completely, letting go of the negativity that binds him. It actually creates a heightened state of mind, so that the subject becomes more receptive to positive suggestions, thereby, responding better and quicker to treatment.

Scientists are yet trying to fully understand how exactly the modification in the mind brings about such a remarkable change in the body. They aver that it is probably the deep focused state of mind that helps the subject recover so soon from his ailment or addiction. For instance, a chain smoker who receives suggestions that he will feel like quitting smoking very soon, actually develops a distaste for the very thing he craved for a few weeks ago, and completely turns over a new leaf. Scientists say that the change might be taking place because the seed of thought is sown deep into the very psyche of the individual and not merely suggested at the surface level.

There are many among us who have a tremendous phobia of dentists. Even the mere thought of the dentist’s drill can get our stomachs churning! While it is quite normal and natural to feel a bit apprehensive, there are people who take it to the extreme. Such subjects are known to have found great relief with a few hypnotherapy sessions.

Hypnotherapy is known to provide relief in conditions such as angina (pain in the chest), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), snoring, shortness of breath, asthma and even cystic fibrosis. What is more, this technique has even been found useful for quicker healing of wounds, reduction in joint pains and so on.

In conclusion, hypnotism can be put to a variety of uses and can help a whole lot of people who have had to suffer varied symptoms for many years. This is nothing sinister of evil as projected by the media some years ago. Quite on the contrary, it can give you a sense of extreme peace, security and well-being.

If you are the victim of some condition that simply refuses to let go of you, do try out hypnotherapy. It might end up working out like nothing else!

Hypnosis And Procrastination

Procrastination is a nasty habit, which can actually end up ruining your entire reputation and future career prospects. Procrastination, which Wikipedia defines as “a type of behavior which is characterized by deferment of actions or tasks to a later time”, occurs when we constantly put away something for some indefinite ‘tomorrow’, rather than tackle it and finish it off today itself.

There are things like visiting the physician or dentist, going to the bank, filing Income Tax returns, paying bills and so on, that we know are important to finish on time, but simply do not feel like getting done. Why does procrastination take place and what is a way to stop this from negatively affecting our lives?

The pain-pleasure phenomenon

Sigmund Freud was the first to note that we humans solidly base all our behavior patterns on the pain-pleasure phenomenon. We all try to gain the maximum pleasure in our lives and avoid all instances and events that cause pain or discomfort of some kind, either physical or psychological. He discovered further, that we refrain from completing a task because we view it as painful to us in some way.

This is what happens with procrastination too. Though we understand fully well that putting the work off would only lead to more inconvenience and possibly even embarrassment, we go ahead and do just that!

So what is the permanent solution for this procrastination issue? How do we deal with it? One method to tackle this problem is to get to the task immediately and take breaks in between. If , for instance, a student does not like to study a particular subject, he could get to studying just that subject and give himself a short, five-minute break after, say, about half an hour of study. Of course, he forces himself to study, but also get the much-required break to get rid of the tedium. He would only have to stay focused on the subject for that half hour that he works on it. Setting this kind of time-table lets him ease up a little and also finish the task at hand more quickly and efficiently.

In case your procrastinating tendency occurs due to some fear (such as that of visiting the dentist), you will have to tackle it with much more gusto. It will need a good deal of willpower from your side to break away from those shackles and free yourself of your compulsive behavior. Usually, handling that fear gradually, little by little, helps you get out of the put-it-off-forever tendency!

How hypnosis can help with procrastination

Did you know hypnosis can work wonders on procrastination? Well, a qualified and competent Hypnotherapist can reach deep down to the very root of your problem, analyze it and tell you exactly how to rid yourself of it. A hypnotherapist works by making your subconscious mind more open and more receptive to positive suggestions. He tries to reduce the pain, dislike or fear factor that you associate with that particular task.

In ensuing sessions, he systematically works on the reaction till it altogether dissolves from your system. Very soon, you will find yourself shedding your anxiety and developing a relaxed attitude each time you think of the task. Why, you might even come to like it and do it quite readily in just a few more days’ time!

If you have been desperately trying to get a negative habit out and nothing seems to work in spite of your best efforts, do give hypnosis a try. It does truly work like magic!

Awakening The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind With Hypnosis

Do you often doubt yourself on your own abilities? Many of us do not experience the real success we deserve, only because we do not truly believe that we indeed CAN! There is unlimited power and strength lying dormant within us. All we have to do is awaken that power and strength and lo! We would soon be absolutely unstoppable in our respective spheres of life!

Now how do we go about bringing out that kind of energy from within us? The answer is pretty much simple. We have to start developing the power of our subconscious mind. We are practically capable of changing our own world with the power of thought – we only need to re-program our thought process and set right our mind.

Up until now, your subconscious has faithfully stood by you and followed all orders you gave to it. Believe it or not – your life circumstances as of the present are brought about entirely by that part of your mind. Further, this impervious aspect of you will be there with you till the end of your very life!

In order to gain control of this subconscious, you have to first understand that it has all the true power and strength, but sadly lacks the creative imagination, the direction that is required to move it forward. So it holds the entire blueprint of your success, but in the final analysis, YOU alone are responsible for steering it in the right direction.

There is an old adage which says, “Thinking is being” and that is so true, because you INDEED ARE what you think you are! If you think negative, then negativity is what you ultimately get from the universe. This is because the whole universe is a perfect balance of negative and positive vibrations. If you feel negatively about something, your subconscious immediately reflects it to the external universe. The micro is reflected in the macro and so you receive the negativity you give out.

On the contrary, if you endeavor to think positive all the time, your subconscious is projecting positive vibes to the outside world, which means, you also receive positive experiences in life.

All of us have an extremely powerful subconscious. It is just that some of us get so discouraged by our negative experiences that we just tend to resign to fate, thinking that a life of comprise is all we deserve. So we learn to live with a dissatisfying job, poor salary and so on.

Negativity is like Satan, just waiting to get you in his grasp. No matter how hard you try to remain cheerful, he would be right there, patiently working out some strategy to get you down. But fear not if the tide turns against you temporarily. Just focus on keeping your chin above the water and swim on ahead in the knowledge that all would be set right soon.

Remember, what you want to be is really all in YOUR hands. If you merely learn to think right, you will see your life transforming the right way for you. You then will get to experience the best events in your life – happiness, peace, prosperity, good health, great relationships, love and much more.

How hypnotism can help your subconscious mind

Is it actually possible to awaken the subconscious mind with hypnosis? The answer is, yes. No matter how much negativity a person has accumulated over the past many years, it is indeed possible to set it right with the help of a Certified Hypnotherapist.

A lot of people have experienced a great amount of good in their lives after having resorted to the method hypnotism. Since this technique delves deep into the subconscious, it can easily find out the root cause of the problem and set about rectifying within just a few seconds. Some, who had tremendous self-doubt, learnt to believe in themselves, thus experiencing a constant shower of success in their lives. Yet others, who had crippling phobias, learnt to grow beyond them, rid themselves of the fear and lead completely happy, normal lives again. Hypnotism can also help calm a restless, hyperactive mind, which otherwise causes a tirade of problems in its victim.

Are you frustrated with far too many things going wrong in your life? Would you like to experience the sweet taste of the success you truly deserve in every aspect of your life? Turn toward Hypnosis and you will never have to look back and rue anything ever again!

Pep Up Your Self Esteem!

A lot of people do not get anywhere in life in spite of seeming to have everything going for them in life. So what is it that truly sets apart the average man from the extraordinary human being? The answer is short and simple - the real secret of success lies in self-esteem. Thinking is being. Believe it or not, merely working to develop a heightened sense of self-esteem can help bestow success on your life!

Pessimism and lack of self-confidence only causes more anxiety and tension, leading to failure in all tasks you ever take up. Once you break out of your vicious cycle of self-doubt, you develop great self-confidence, which automatically makes you virtually unstoppable in any field you intend to pursue! All of us are born with tremendous potential in a particular field. We all deserve to taste the sweet flavor of success due to us in this lifetime and it is our duty to go after that success!

Now, where do we get started with this quest for success? Everything in this Universe is right within us. Remember, in this cosmos, the macro is the micro. Hence, if we desire love and respect from other people, we must learn to love and respect ourselves first and foremost. There is definitely at least one thing we do not really like about ourselves. So what can be done about it? We can follow either of two routes here - change that thing we dislike about ourselves or just learn to accept and love ourselves the way we are.

• Accept yourself
Of course, there are certain things you just cannot change. For example, if your problem is overweight, you have many options to try and lose it. But if you feel inferior because you may not be good-looking enough, you need to get over it by changing your own thinking. Concentrate on some other aspect of yourself that shines forth in the social circuit. If you have ready wit or a great sense of humor for instance, show it off in public and you will be amazed at how soon you become the most popular person at any party!

• Be well-heeled
The whole world loves an elegant dresser. This does not mean that you immediately need to hit those hi-fi designer boutiques in your locality. Merely taking a bit more trouble to look and smell good goes a long way to creating the first good impression. Make sure to keep the hair clean and well-styled, wear neatly ironed clothes and always wear a hint of pleasant perfume. Further, maintaining an erect posture and smiling countenance will, by itself, create a feeling of well-being for you.

• Give and thou shalt receive!
Give in plenty - complements, that is! Keeping to yourself all the time in a work or social environment never ever pays. It is easy to win others' hearts by just being nice to them. Make it a habit to comment positively about people and acknowledge their pluses. Complementing others will allow them to open up to you and return the favor. Hearing others saying good things about you in turn, works wonders on your self-confidence.

• Work on your minuses
Know what your weak points are and systematically work on them. For instance, if you are shy and reticent by nature, do something about it. You could maybe join a personality development course or a public speaking course. This will help you get out of your self-imposed shell and mingle around freely with others. Make direct eye contact with the other party and smile more often - that in itself will project an image of utter self-confidence and control.

• Negate that fear complex
Most people withdraw into themselves for the sheer fear of societal rejection. If this is the case with you, learn to deal with that fear and negate it altogether, so it stops affecting your life. The most important thing here is to start enjoying who and what we do. If you have stage fright, go face a huge audience. You may be left shaking for the first couple of minutes, but you will be pleasantly surprised to see how quickly that silly phobia melts away! Counteract this thing called fear and show it who the boss is! Soon enough, you will feel your confidence levels rising and feel right on top of the world!

Snap out of that under-confidence and open your life up to a wonderful new world of immense opportunities. Increase your self-esteem and see how life changes for the better for you!
