Control Your Holiday Eating Self Hypnosis Script

The tendency to overindulge in food and drink is never stronger than during the holiday season. It's been estimated that the average adult American gains several pounds during the holiday season. We all know the old saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." With a little preventative help from self hypnosis, you can fully enjoy the holidays and your favorite foods without overdoing it.

Self hypnosis is a simple, yet powerful means for programming your mind and body to behave differently. It gets past the resistant and critical self, and lets us speak directly to the subconscious mind, the part of us responsible for our habits and our appetites.

When self hypnosis is applied, it turns positive self talk into self empowerment. The same suggestions and affirmations employed while self hypnotized have many times the impact of those same suggestions would otherwise have.

Best of all, self hypnosis is fast and relaxing. You do not lose your awareness at any time and you can rouse and respond quickly if there's an emergency in your environment. While there are many ways to self hypnotize, and practice is required for mastery, here's an four step recipe.

Find a place where you won't be interrupted for about 20 minutes.Close your eyes and relax your body, one part at a time, starting with your head and working your way down to your toes.Silently count your breaths backward from one hundred, repeating the phrase "twice as relaxed" between each breath. Direct your mind to slow down with every number and breath.When you truly feel a profound sense of relaxation and mental stillness, you may then silently apply suggestions to change the way you eat and drink during the holidays.

Here's a mini-script you may use to get you started:

"I easily control what I eat and drink during the holiday season so that I can maintain my health and weight. By having smaller amounts, I enjoy each taste and each bite more fully. This enjoyment fills me more than the food and drink, so I discover I actually want less. Whenever I am offered food and drink at a holiday occasion, I become very aware of the choices in front of me. This awareness gives me great freedom to control what I eat and drink. And as I choose to eat and drink only small amounts, I feel a surge of self empowerment arise from within me. This great self control makes me feel more festive during the holidays than any amount of food or drink ever could, because I will enter the New Year cheerfully, feeling good about my body. By mindfully managing how much I eat and drink during the holidays, I have a lot to celebrate. Freedom, confidence and self control are the best gifts I could ever give myself this season. So I freely choose to confidently control what and how much I eat and drink during the holidays."

When you've delivered the suggestions to yourself, emerge from self hypnosis by counting up from one to five and telling yourself that when you reach the number five, your eyes will open and you'll emerge from hypnosis refreshed and alert.

Yes, it's that easy.

The hypnotic procedure and suggestions may be memorized, recorded or used with the "hypnosis as you read" method. It's recommended you perform the self hypnosis session once a day for three to seven consecutive days as the holiday season approaches. Then, reapply the day of any holiday occasion, such as a party.

By using self hypnosis to maintain control, you can easily overcome the temptation to indulge of the season. You will walk proudly into the coming year healthy, happy, and without extra pounds. Truly, that's something to celebrate!

Do You Have Emotional Control?

Our emotions, whether in or out of control, depend to a very large extent on how much attention you place upon them. "Know thyself", are two of the most important words you'll ever hear.

Supposing you become angry at something. Anything. I don't mean an insane, psychotic screaming rage, but something relatively small has made you angry. Will you remember it tomorrow? Certainly not next week.

If you happen to be very angry with a particular person and you tear into them, calling them names and generally insulting them, not only have you lost control, you've lost whatever friendship and respect they may have held for you. True, they may have done something pretty naughty, but think before savaging them.

For all you know, they may have had a perfectly good reason for what they did, which isn't apparent to you at the time.

Do you have emotional control? If not, then practice it. It's so necessary and so well worth the while to look before you leap. But we all 'let go' without thinking, don't we? The knack is to look past the immediate and into the future.

"If I do this, what effect is it going to have down the line?"

Just supposing you're watching TV one night and something comes up that really lights a fire under you. Right at that moment, your emotions are out of control, so sit back for a couple of minutes and ask yourself why. What's made you so mad, angry, sorrowful, happy, sad? By doing this, you're keeping your emotions under control.

All right, you may still be as mad as a snake, but you'll know why you're as mad as a snake and therefore more in control.

You may be at a party, and a particularly beautiful woman attaches herself to someone you really don't like very much.

"What in the name of goodness does she see in that jerk," is probably the first thing that goes through your mind. A friend sidles up to you.

"Jealous?" he asks.

"Eh? What me? Jealous? Rubbish," you reply. Anyway, you think to yourself, she'll soon find out what a worm he is. Now this is rationalizing. Be honest. You're damn jealous and that's all there is to it.

Another thing to remember is not to let your mood carry you. Supposing you're watching a long drawn out play on TV and frankly, you're bored to tears. Why not say;

"You know, I can write better than that."

Go and think of a story and try your hand. If writing isn't your thing, even a simple walk will make you feel better.

Another plan is if you come home from work after a difficult day, and you feel definitely out of sorts. Relax in your favourite chair and let your imagination take you somewhere nice. Amazing how much better you'll feel.

How to Control The Minds of Others Using Hypnosis

One of the most common things people look for in hypnosis is the ability to control the minds of others. In fact, some people pay hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars to learn these skills.

This is a very real practice, and it is very possible for you to do if you are so inclined.

The problem, however, is most people approach it from the position of craving power over others. Indulging your weakness will never lead to strength. Recognizing and accepting your weakness is one form of strength. Recognizing and accepting the desire to control others for your own benefit is a real step toward strength. When you recognize and accept that impulse, yet peacefully choose to direct others for their own benefit, you will be experiencing and expressing real strength.

This type of strength is the only positive thing that can come from 'controlling the minds of others'. Most of what is taught to the public are linguistic or situational tricks. There is nothing wrong with using your language or the situation to help guide or lead others, but if you don't transform yourself first, you will not get consistent results, and you will gain no happiness or satisfaction from that practice of hypnosis

If, however, you truly want to guide the minds of others to a positive outcome, you must first practice guiding your own mind and emotions.

Another way of saying this is to get good at hypnosis, you must first get good at self-hypnosis.

This can be done in 6 simple steps:

Learn how to really relax. However good you may be at relaxing now, seek to take it to the next level. Recognize that good health is largely due to a strong self-image and a general state of relaxation and peacefulness the majority of the time. The more you practice going into this place, the more it will become a natural part of who you are... and the more it will be easily available to you all the time.
Once you are regularly relaxed, learn how to direct yourself. Learn your values. Explore what is important to you. Learn what you love. When you direct yourself in accord with your values and that which you love, life becomes almost effortless.
Once you have truly identified your love, begin to live your love. This may not be easy, but it will vastly rewarding. It is likely you will make mistakes. Forgive yourself quickly and completely... and return to living your love. Again, find the place of effortlessness and return as frequently as possible.
Now that you are living your love, keep living it and reinforcing it until it becomes instinctive. Keep coming back to it. Become it. You will know when you get there. Others will notice it as well.
Begin to notice where others can live more congruently with their own values or more fully follow these steps. Once you are living this way, it will become easier and easier to identify how others are not, and how they could quickly change to live more in alignment with their own love/values. No judgment is needed... just awareness.
People will naturally begin to ask you for advice or help when you are living your love. It will happen more commonly once you make it instinctive. When people come to you looking for it, share your wisdom and your experience with them.

Controlling the minds of others might be better described as guiding the emotions of others. It is vastly rewarding to get into this position of leadership. It is joyful to attain this degree of mastery over self, and it is even more joyful to help others to achieve the same in their own lives.

Godspeed on your journey!
