Still Not Losing Weight? 3 Ways Hypnosis Can Help You
For many people, losing weight feels like a constant struggle. Whether your weight seems to go up and down no matter what you do or you just can’t lose those last 5-10 pounds, it can be frustrating.
Diet and exercise will always be the best way to manage your weight and shed pounds. However, sticking to a regular diet plan and finding the motivation to work out every day isn’t easy for everyone.
If you’re at your wit's end when it comes to losing weight, hypnosis can help you. Let’s cover three ways it can improve your weight loss journey and give you the “push” you need to lose the weight you want.
1. It Can Cut Down Your Cravings
One of the hardest things about losing weight is giving up certain foods. Most of us know which foods are “bad” for us, or which ones will contribute to weight gain. Unfortunately, for some, those are considered comfort foods, making them hard to break away from.
If you’ve been struggling with willpower when it comes to certain foods, hypnosis can help.
It can change the way you feel about those foods, making them less appealing and comforting.
Alternatively, it can empower you to “send” your cravings away using symbolism and imagery. That’s something you can carry with you when you’re on your own and in front of those triggering foods.
2. It Can Motivate You to Move
If you eat healthily but still can’t seem to lose weight, a sedentary lifestyle could be to blame.
Let’s face it, exercising isn’t always easy. It takes time, dedication, and commitment. Depending on your schedule, you might have to wake up early to get in a good workout, and staying in bed is far more tempting.
If you’ve been lacking the motivation to exercise, hypnosis can help to boost your excitement over the subject. Under hypnosis, your mind is in a completely relaxed state, so you’re more open to the power of suggestion. When your hypnotherapist offers ideas and suggestions to exercise more often, you’ll be more receptive and responsive.
3. It Can Change Your Behaviors
Maybe there isn’t a particular food you can’t resist, and maybe you do work out a few times a week. But, if you’ve plateaued in your weight loss endeavors, that’s frustrating.
Still, hypnosis can help.
Again, when you’re in a relaxed state of mind and open to suggestions, your therapist can work to change the behaviors that could be sabotaging your weight loss goals.
Maybe you tend to overeat when you’re in social settings. Or, perhaps you snack frequently out of boredom. Maybe you’re just used to “cleaning your plate” every time you sit down for a meal, so you continue to do it even when you’re full.
Whatever your behaviors are, hypnosis can help you get to the bottom of them and exchange them for healthier habits that will make weight loss easier.
Using Hypnosis as a Weight Loss Tool
It’s important to understand that on its own, hypnosis won’t “cause” you to lose weight. It can’t magically make you shed a few pounds overnight.
Ultimately, you’re still the one putting in the work when it comes to diet and exercise.
However, hypnosis can help you make the necessary changes to make your efforts count. Whether it’s giving up certain foods, changing your unhealthy habits, or getting motivated to be more physical, hypnosis is a great way to give your mind and body the boost they need.
