Work Out Motivation

Each morning we wake up to our daily life. Most of our activities are on automatic pilot, such as brushing your teeth or eating breakfast. Automatic pilot is a trance state that can be very useful for what is considered the habitual activities of life & exercise needs to be one of these.

Our bodies need to exercise; it has been medically proven that we are emotionally more stable, physically healthier and mentally far more alert if we do. The ideal solution is to review your lifestyle and attitude. Look for ways you can incorporate exercise as part of your everyday life. Use the stairs instead of the elevator; walk when you can, look for opportunities and interests that involve physical exercise. The important thing is that whatever you do, it is easily adapted into your life. Take some time each day just for yourself, and exercise during this time, even if it’s just a 15 min. walk around the neighborhood.

When you start to talk yourself out of exercising, a negative affirmation is being repeated in your mind. An affirmation that says “I can’t do it, I don’t have time.” So if a negative affirmation works, why can’t a positive one? Repeating an affirmation in your mind will remind you of your desire to be healthier and help you become more consciously and subconsciously aware of your healthy lifestyle goals. Strive to repeat healthy lifestyle affirmations to yourself several times each day. Because affirmations actually reprogram your thought patterns and they change the way you think and feel about things.

Say these affirmations to yourself everyday:

“The more often I choose to exercise, the better I’ll feel, both physically and mentally.”
“I really enjoy the exercise program I have chosen for myself.”
“I have enough time in my day to do my exercise program because it is important to me.”

Endorphins are triggered by exercise; they are chemicals that are secreted by the brain. They are triggered each time you do your exercise and you feel great!

Here are some tips:

  1. Get “In the Zone” It helps to put on your exercise outfit or turn on some aerobic music you like that makes you want to move.
  2. Project your thoughts into the future, of say, how you will look in 3 months, see yourself pleased with your progress, perhaps looking in a mirror in your mind and seeing yourself at the desired weight and body tone. Let that visualization drive you. Imagine yourself in a favorite outfit that you can’t fit into now.
  3. Exercise should be fun. If it isn’t, find an activity that you enjoy. As long as you’re moving, it’s good for you.
  4. Read fitness magazines or blogs about people getting fit.
  5. Sign up for an exercise class.
  6. Exercise with a friend.
  7. Post a picture of your overweight self on the refrigerator.
  8. Join a club and get a trainer.
  9. Set a goal; write it on your calendar. Make your goals achievable.
  10. Get a motivational exercise Self Hypnosis MP3 or CD to go to sleep with.

So what are you waiting for? Get going!

Help me stop smoking – Will graphic warning help stop smoking?

Help to Stop Smoking, Stop smoking Hypnosis,Smokers should be prepared to be confronted with graphic labels that will soon cover almost half of the cigarette packages. Images will be showing sickness and death; which is designed to evoke disgust and revulsion. Congress passed a law requiring tobacco makers to put graphic health warnings on cigarette packages. This month, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published nine labels, which will appear on cigarette packaging by the fall of 2012.

Americans today fully understand that smoking is unsafe but will these labels make a difference? Despite all the efforts to stop smoking, advertising, taxes, educational campaigns and smoking bans, nearly 50 million Americans continue to put themselves in harms way. The hope is that the nauseating photos on the cigarette packages will kill the urge.

I don’t know if graphic images will stop people but I do know that hypnotherapy works! Typically after 1 or 2 session of hypnosis my clients quit for good. What is interesting to me is that most smokers think it will be too hard for them to quit so they never really try. Once they have spent a couple hours with me their belief system around it being too difficult to quit seems to change and their behavior follows soon after. They find out that an urge only lasts 3 to 5 minutes and then that urge will run its course and pass. They find that quitting using hypnosis is an enjoyable way to become a non-smoker and they didn’t have to be grossed out to do it. The graphic pictures may work for a small percentage and I hope it does because dying of lung cancer is not something anyone wants to do!

It might be a good goal to stop smoking before the new packaging comes out. You can go to our website and see about a session or download a Smoking Cessation MP3.
