Do you hear little voices in your mind telling you what to do? They say you must do this, or must not do that; most of the time you go along with them. But do you find that you are still doing the wrong thing; overeating perhaps?
Top sports people use techniques to turn these voices off. They know that if they actually listen to them and then “think” about what they need to do, it will all go wrong. Tiger Woods is listening to all those voices in his head and his loss of form has been spectacular! (send him round here and I’ll sort him out)
It’s the same with trying to lose weight. Those voices are chattering away “It’s mid morning I really do need a cup of tea and a biscuit”. The voice in your head is saying that; your body is just fine. How about this one? “I must finish all the food on my plate, it will be wasted otherwise.” Well you just don’t have to. You’ve spent the money, so that’s not coming back!
My Hypno-band clients allow me to turn those voices off for them, or, if the voices don’t go away, my clients learn not to respond to them. Within a couple of weeks their behaviours have completely changed and they a have a whole new set of healthy eating habits.
