We all have times in our lives when we feel blue, alone, or empty in a way that we do not know how to fill. Eating repetitively when we are depressed is a common syndrome that many people face, especially around the holidays. The psychologists often label this as Seasonal Affective Disorder. Eating something that makes us feel good also makes us feel full and gives us satisfaction for a brief time. Unfortunately, it does not last.  Once we start the cycle of depressive eating, it is very easy to get caught in that repetitive loop where we eat to feel better and then find that we must continue to eat to keep our bad feelings from creeping back into our lives again.

During the stressful and emotional holiday events, depressive eating often gets the best of us. Many of us find ourselves starting the New Year with more than a few extra pounds left over from depressive eating around holiday time. And often that is too much to cope with and we find ourselves even more depressed and slipping into a permanent cycle of stress/depressive eating that leaves us overweight and unable to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Don’t become a slave to repetitive depressive eating. You can learn to let go of this self-destructive habit.

Hypnosis for depressive eating repetition is especially effective because it helps you to change the programming that directs your habitual eating and eliminate the attitude that causes it in the first place. Use hypnosis to reprogram yourself to short circuit your impulse to eat when you feel sad or lonely. Effectively replace that impulse with a healthy and positive activity which might be exercise, walking, drinking water, swimming, aerobics, or just helping others. Hypnosis can help you transform your melancholy mood and depressive feelings a catalyst for change.

Sometimes it can be really tough getting out there and meeting women. You might see someone attractive across the room and really want to ask her out but you lack the confidence to do anything about it. You even make eye contact you and she smiles. You look at the floor, make some excuse to your guy friends and make your way out the nearest exit. Your palms are sweaty, you feel your heartbeat rapidly through your entire body and you feel that your heart is stuck in your throat. You might feel a little sick to your stomach, while at the same time kicking yourself that you lack confidence to be with women.

Women may even find you attractive, and you might even be dating, but it always ends the same way. You feel like you are not smart enough, not good looking enough, and not good enough for them. The result is that you can’t maintain a long lasting or meaningful relationship; and it’s all because of your weak self confidence around women. You find yourself sabotaging relationships and feel helpless when you are dating.

Logically you know that you have a lot to offer in a relationship with a woman, but emotionally you are a mess. When things seem to be going good you begin overanalyzing everything and coming up with reasons why you should end the relationship. It might defy logic but you have a tough time managing those thoughts and feelings.

The answer to improving your confidence is hypnosis mp3’s. You can program your mind in two important ways. First you can become relaxed when you are in a woman’s presence. You’ll no longer feel like running away or avoiding contact with them. Secondly, you can boost your confidence with women.

Women want a man who is confident. When you are confident women flock to you. The way you talk, act, and think will all be enhanced and you’ll have the confidence to ask a woman out and more importantly you’ll find that you’ll be able to maintain long term relationships because you have con-fidence in yourself and what you have to offer a woman. You’ll never be alone on a Saturday night again. Check out: http://journeysinwardhypnotherapy.com/mp3/men-issues/confidence-with-women-mp3

Over the past 20 years the field of sports psychology has grown and increasing numbers of teen athletes are being brought by their parents for hypnosis, to help their child focus and raise their performance level.

It’s no different than a pro having a personal trainer. The hard-to-break stereotype that hypnosis carries with it keeps people from finding out what a useful tool it can be. Hypnotherapy is a useful tool not only the typical issues that are associated with it like Smoking Cessation and Weight Loss but in helping athletes to become the best they can be at their sport. Visualization can be an extremely powerful tool and in a hypnosis session the client visualizes and practices in their mind doing their sport and various motor skills perfectly, until they feel more confident, able to overcome fear and experience lower anxiety levels. When the time comes to perform they have done the mental rehearsal in their mind so many times that they just go on auto pilot and the results are amazing! I have worked with many athletes and found that whether it is golf, skiing, or even dog sled racing, all athletes need to work on their anxiety levels, concentration, motivation, and self-confidence, as well as strengthening the neural patterns in the brain through mental rehearsal. There are so many factors to consider, stress levels, pressure, sleep patterns, mental attitude, diet, etc.

With my clients I include, yoga breathing techniques, power breathing, relaxation exercises, as well as I help to mitigate the effects of distracting psychological factors. After all the work is done I set a post hypnotic suggestion so that all they need to do is touch their shoulder or say a word and all the mental skills come back to them in an instant.

I have athletes calling me and saying that they won this race or that one and attributing it to the work we have done together. Its fun, I really enjoy this kind of work!

Sometimes thinking about interviews can be really nerve-racking. Of course, you want to do your best, but sometimes when you are nervous, really stressed, you just can’t be at your best. Quite often, that can mean not getting that job you really want. You might be up nights worrying about an upcoming interview and this means sleeplessness, and you can be worn-out and exhausted even before you sit down for the interview. That just doesn’t work.

You could be absolutely terrified at an interview. Your heart might be racing, and you could be so afraid they won’t like you, that you can’t get the right words out. You find that you freeze up when the interviewer asks you questions, and at times you might feel sick at your stomach or want to end the interview to run to the bathroom.

A cycle begins to occur in which you are worried about getting a job, and then because you are so stressed out you bomb on the interview and hence reinforce the idea that you are not going to get a job and that you are bad at job interviews.

You can overcome these negative states of mind and break the cycle of job interview stress. It is about shifting you minds focus and perspective. If you believe that you will succeed and you will do great at a job interview, then you will increase the likelihood that you will achieve your goal of being hired. If you continue to imagine that you will do horrible at a job interview then that is the reality that you will actually create.

Through the use of hypnosis mp3’s you can get rid of the job interview jitters forever. You can reprogram your mind to be relaxed and confident from the time you walk into the building for the interview, shake the interviewers hand and sit down, until the time you leave with the knowledge that you will get the job. Hypnosis is a fear eraser; you have to experience to totally appreciate it. http://journeysinwardhypnotherapy.com/mp3/personal-growth/confident-job-interview-mp3

Tired of being like a yoyo with your weight – up and down with the times?
Learn to control your weight, lose weight by controlling your appetite.

Controlling the cravings that keep you overeating isn’t always easy, and with those cravings you might think it’s impossible to lose weight … but you would be wrong. Imagine what could happen if you could eliminate all cravings and eat only when you get body signals to feed the machine for its operation. Can you imagine that?

Cravings for food tend to be emotional and psychological and have little to do with physiological hunger to feed the body (your biochemical machine) to survive. Diet programs that control what, when, where you eat fail if you have cravings. Cravings win in the end because they require you to use willpower to stop them. And willpower doesn’t work.

You could simply reduce food intake, and stay on a controlled dietary intake program, you’d lose weight most certainly – with a plan that you like which has validity to it, and feeds your machine the nutrients it needs. If you like the program over a prolonged period – it will work for you because you’re psyched about it.

Watch out when you go off to the diet, you often will gain all the weight right back, plus more if you don’t have a maintenance plan in place! But, diets alone don’t work. Diets with extensive controls do not help control or reduce cravings and people will simply begin to regain weight.

People who have long-term issues with weight, are hard to motivate toward lifestyle change to eliminate the effects of long-term obesity. If they don’t find alternatives – the medical consequences are devastating. Doctors and surgeons have several approaches: special diets, exercises, and then – pills, pills, pills … pills for appetite control, pills to block fats, pills to build energy or the immune system, pills for this, and pills for that, and then if that doesn’t work, surgery for this, and for that – until finally they are either stapling your stomach or installing a gastric lap band. If you go that route, you have my prayers.

Medications that are prescribed as part of a self-help weight loss program can damage the heart or lungs and many have been banned because some previous patients have required heart or lung transplants from taking these medicines.

Fad diets, often cause rapid weight loss by disturbing the balances of the body, making it shed excess water needed for the muscular system and organs. Later in life nutritional deficiencies and organic failure occurs to rapid weight loss dieters.

Body reshaping exercise can be used as a weight loss strategy, there are issues with exercise where it’s misused and can damage the body. When you exercise strenuously in endurance training often the body goes into an anaerobic metabolism and stops normal calories burning, because the metabolism slows down to retain as much energy as possible.

Those who are overweight struggle with unconscious eating issues and controlling their appetites. The most effective way to overcome craving is through the use of hypnosis and self-hypnosis audio programs. Hypnosis focuses on is the unconscious craving issues allowing you to lose weight without using willpower – and you’ll keep it off!  Unlike other therapies designed to suppress the appetite, hypnosis is inexpensive.

I am not going to be the Whistleblower, and therefore I steadfastly refuse to be the one to tell you that smoking will kill you. After all, hasn’t the Tobacco Industry shown you all kinds of cool images, saying you’re in Marlboro Country and that’s cool to be here? Wait, the Marlboro Man died long ago from some horrid form of cancer, and isn’t around to enjoy it. Maybe Marlboro Country isn’t the place to be.

And, the tobacco companies show you South Pacific beaches or snowy Colorado mountains with skiers with menthol cigarettes to show you how really KOOL it can get. But in reality, if you smoke that stick, you’re in for a life sentence. We all know it, we all know someone who has or is suffering from it, and man – it’s addictive and you can’t stop without help. And, here’s the help you need to stop right now.

First, listen to this: While traveling abroad I found that the medical community outside the US took a more severe approach to the health threats of tobacco and printed pictures of tombstones, dead fetuses, and things like that on the cigarette pack itself, often on the flip top lid. Now, that’s scary.

Not the pictures themselves, although they are scary enough, but that someone who had a pack of cigarettes would take them out of their pocket and lift the hinged box lid which had some awful picture on it, and would take out a cigarette and see the picture and put the cigarette in their mouth and light it, and would close the box top, see the picture again and put in back in their pocket and start smoking. That’s really scary to me.

But, when you come to dollars and sense about it – gee, there are some great alternatives to the costs of smoking and perhaps you didn’t realize it. A person who smokes a pack a day is wasting about $1500 up just on cigarettes and lighters. Now, their insurance costs for health and life insured goes up considerably for the early years, health insurance is just like 15% more, after 40 the numbers really rack up, and by the time you compute how much health and life insurance cost, figure your annual cigarette cost is just unbelievably high until about 40 and from there it all depends what vile form of sickness the inhaling of poison causes, it could raise in your final years to hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, just the price of needless suffering, instead of enjoying that beach that the cigarette companies promise you.

How would you like to have a different reality? Well, you can and I’ll help you. How about taking a Journey Inward with me, and later really enjoy a week on Maui, or Bali, or a Beach in South East Asia, or anywhere in the world you want instead for the money you saved for not smoking for a year. You can do it!

And what is the value of a week vacation ……. a major reduction in the stress that kept you smoking. And you’ll avoid years of health miseries by STOPPING SMOKING. You want to know the secret – come visit the world of  http://journeysinwardhypnotherapy.com/mp3/addictions/smoking-cessation-hypnotherapy and just close your eyes, draw in a deep breath, and listen to the audio along with me. You’ll relax and before you know it, your own subconscious will be reprogrammed to be FREE and YOU will be FREE from smoking quickly. So, then … save your money and I’ll meet you at the beach.

In today’s rapidly changing, and somewhat scary world, it’s necessary for each of us to be confident and be able to achieve our goals. This is our greatest desire, despite what the economic indicators say, or how we feel about ourselves, we know that when we wake up tomorrow, that in order for us to really be successful in our adventures in life – we need greater confidence.

I’m often reminded of the movie, The NeverEnding Story – The majority of the story takes place in the parallel world called Fantasia, which is a world being destroyed by the ‘Nothing’ or empathy (people’s lack of creative imagination in the real world). The first boy hero Bastian Bux was often told “Be Confident, Be Confident” and of course when he was and everything turned out okay. But first he had to face his fears, and then face his real self in the mirror. Whew! Have you ever really faced yourself or looked deeply at yourself?

Most of us have not done so, and thus we live believing that what our ego tells us about ourselves is true. The ego isn’t necessarily our best friend, as you know – and since self-confidence which is based on a true knowledge of one’s inner self and true inner abilities IS your best friend in life, it would be wise to choose sides right now, choose either the ego (which will lie to you), or the true self – which is honest and truthful and will lead you naturally to self-confidence.

Now I will tell you, as others told Bastian – Be Confident!

We’ve all had moments when we felt confident. When we won at something important, an award, a prize, an honor – it felt great, and often we felt we worked hard at getting it – we deserved the recognition and award – we were confident. Remember how that felt? If you can’t, just imagine how it would feel to open your mail one day and find something really fantastic in the mail, something that you just knew would lead you to something great. You’d feel confident immediately.

So, for just a second, remember what it feels like – or imagine what it would feel like (using that creative imagination inside of you) and just FEEL confident. For a moment BE confident, and know that it comes from a source DEEP within you, a real source of power and life. It’s true. We all have it DEEP inside.

Now, just imagine that you’re listening to an audio self-hypnosis mp3 audio on self-confidence, and you are in a light state relaxation with your eyes closed and …. You’re hearing me tell you, while in a self-hypnotic state, to “Be Confident”. That message would go straight to your subconscious mind – and you’d be confident immediately. Sound great doesn’t. Repeated listening would make you feel even more confident. It’s that easy – so Be Confident.

So here’s to being more confident and applying that true self-confidence to life, and winning, being successful and achieving all your goals. Listening to self-hypnosis self-confidence audios is the way to achieve that level of self-confidence fast, and is your key to getting their with the power of your own subconscious mind, with self-hypnosis from http://journeysinwardhypnotherapy.com/mp3/confidence-issues
