Motivation Is Yours With Weight Loss Hypnosis

With cold, wintry days ahead for many of us, the prospect of braving the elements to get to the gym or go for a run does not sound very appealing. Fortunately for us, there are some hypnotic techniques that can rapidly and magically create tons of motivation. Read on and learn about them!

With cold, wintry days ahead for a lot of us, the prospect of braving the elements to get to the gym or go for a run does not sound very attractive. Maintaining the motivation to stick to your weight loss goals when everyone else wants to hibernate is easy with self-hypnosis for weight loss.

Most us who want to lose weight agree that motivation is especially hard when the weather changes, so what if you could stay dedicated to your exercise plan and diet just by viewing a self hypnosis weight loss DVD or listening to a CD? Better yet, a self hypnosis weight loss program can diminish your cravings too.

Hypnotherapy for weight loss works simply, but effectively, by leading you to a state of deep relaxation where your unconscious mind can more easily accept post-hypnotic suggestions, like the ones that will keep you motivated to stay on your fitness track, even in the midst of winter.

It is a fact that if a person exercises, it will speed up his/her metabolism and speed up the rate that weight is dropped. Some of the most successful hypnotherapy for exercise motivation techniques comes from Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP. With NLP, the unconscious is programmed to use the very same thought processes that are creating a problem, to do away with it. Said another way, the same thought processes that the unconscious utilizes to create oral compulsions and cravings could be used to completely stop them! And similarly, the same processes can be used to increase your motivation to exercise.

Anchoring is an NLP method that can be practiced to give you a "switch" for triggering behaviors and feelings. Creating a hypnosis weight loss anchor works simply and effectively like this: A qualified hypnotherapy weight loss practitioner will safely direct you into a tranquil hypnotic state. Then the hypnotherapist will ask you to recall a time when you were happy and excited about anything in your life.

The goal of this exercise is to remember and re-experience as many sensations as you possibly can from numerous times in your life when you felt motivated and eager to do anything at all. Then, the hypnotherapist will ask you to anchor those feelings by simply touching two fingers together.

Next, you will be asked to imagine yourself exercising and enjoying it. As you establish this mental image, you'll trigger your anchor by touching those two fingers together again. When you do that, your unconscious mind will connect the feeling of eagerness and excitement from the other memory to the thought of exercising.

From this point on, any time you need to feel motivated to exercise, you can simply trigger your anchor and re-experience those same encouraging feelings that will motivate you to workout. NLP and weight loss hypnosis can even be used to dissuade behaviors, so you can easily beat cravings. That sounds much easier and encouraging than beating yourself up for missing a workout or giving into temptation, doesn't it?

A successful weight loss hypnosis program will also address the root cause of weight gain for many people, namely a lack of self-esteem. In a relaxed state, you can be given post-hypnotic suggestions that will build your self-esteem as you lose each pound. A self-esteem deficiency is a big part of being overweight.

Many people wonder if, after attempting every new diet and purchasing every piece of exercise equipment on the market, something as straight forward as weight loss hypnosis can help them. The good news is that experts have found that all normal people are hypnotizable to a greater or lesser extent. However, it should be noted that people with less than a 70 I.Q. or those who are in an active state of psychosis or with senility usually are not hypnotizable.

But for the rest of us, self hypnosis for weight loss can actually make us look forward to exercising and eating healthily. That said, the main proponent for success in any fitness routine, whether it includes weight loss hypnosis or not, is wanting to reach your weight loss goals.

On a related note, that is precisely why you can't force someone to undergo weight loss self hypnosis just by giving them suggestions. If someone is resistant to an idea, no amount of weight loss hypnosis they see or hear will take hold. In reference to the NLP explanation above, if someone does not have a memory of feeling motivated or positive, they can still be successful with hypnotherapy and NLP because they can visualize what it would feel like if they felt that way, and anchor those imagined feelings.

So, if you are like many of us and find your enthusiasm diminishing as the temperatures drop and the days get darker, weight loss hypnosis can assist you to regain (or maintain) your enthusiasm for carrying out and finally completing your fitness aspirations.
