Celebratory eating… or are you deliberately trying to sabotage yourself?

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010

It’s my birthday!

It’s your birthday!

It’s Friday!

I’m on vacation!

It’s a picnic!

It’s Thanksgiving!

It’s Christmas!

Okay, just one small piece.

What was I supposed to do? I couldn’t be rude, it was a baby shower.

What was I supposed to do? I couldn’t be rude, it was a wedding.

What was I supposed to do? It was my old boss’s retirement party.

What was I supposed to do? It was my high school class reunion.

How often do I get to have a girl’s night out?

How often do I go on a cruise?

Don’t I have to reward myself for being good once in a while?!?!?

If you don’t move beyond the above kind of thinking, you will never lose the weight that you desire to lose – instead you will destine yourself, to a life of one diet after another until you finally give up.

No matter what the supposed justification or rationalization, the above examples of what I call, celebratory eating, are really just EXCUSES to overeat! You say you want to be thin trim and healthy. In fact you’ve been saying that for years. But if you continue to behave contrary to your weight loss goals by using the above as reasons to snack and overeat – your weight and size will remain the same. If you want to change the way that you deal with overeating – you must do it in your subconscious mind. That way, you absentmindedly eat the right foods – instead of absentmindedly eating the wrong foods. That’s why hypnosis is the perfect solution for permanent weight loss. Absent minded overeating has worked to your detriment; let’s enlist your powerful subconscious mind and enable you to unconsciously eat right!

Use of aversion therapy with hypnosis is an incredible tool for the chronic celebratory overeater that has self sabotaged themselves for years. Hypnotherapy will give the celebratory overeater an entirely new mindset that will enable them to overcome those moments of weakness.

You’ve tried diets, discipline and willpower for years. If you feel that this is your time and your window of opportunity to finally lose the weight you’ve been wanting to lose for years, and to get off of the constant diet roller coaster, call Bob Crow at 404.277.1827 for a complimentary consultation.

Multi-tasking or Conflict-tasking?

Sunday, September 12th, 2010

I get a steady stream of both children and adults with their presenting complaints being ADD. Some are unaware that in many cases their own actions have brought the ADD syndrome on. Others feel that their (ability?) to multitask is cool and have not yet connected multitasking with their inability to focus and to stay on target with tasks or projects until they are completed.

 

Multitasking has become a buzzword, much like the cool sounding MBA buzzwords that populate so many of today’s conference calls and memos. Driving one’s car while texting and talking on the phone should be more correctly called conflict-tasking, not multi-tasking. Reading an email while simultaneously watching television and doing homework would be another form of conflict-tasking.

A businessman I was working with told me of an interview that he himself had experienced. An HR person conducted this businessman’s phone interview while the HR person was driving his car and hunting for a parking space at the airport! Many notions come to mind. Could there be another way for that HR person to communicate that my client was unimportant? Would there be another way that the HR person could demonstrate his lack of courtesy, class and good manners? Could he find another way to illustrate that he was an exceptionally poor ambassador for the company that he represented?

A person feels like they are getting more done when they multitask. This is because they are keeping themselves over busy, at least maybe slightly overwhelmed and most likely in a mild state of confusion. In reality, they are fatiguing their brain by causing it to keep connecting – disconnecting – connecting – disconnecting etc.  I am well aware that many people pride themselves on multi–tasking, but unless they have the brain of an alien from another solar system, they are simply deluding themselves and decreasing their efficiency.

Everyone’s brain is capable of holding onto only one thought at a time. Did I say everyone’s? When we call on our brain to multi-task we are asking it not to focus, but to keep switching it’s attention back and forth between those several tasks. When a person keeps themselves in a continual beta mode, they are not able to utilize the beneficial and vital problem solving alpha waves. They lay in bed at night trying to fall asleep, while with the problems of the day keep playing over and over and over in their mind. They keep themselves in a continual beta mode state until they drop into a fitful non refreshing sleep out of sheer exhaustion. Then the alarm goes off and they are out of the house in 35 minutes, attempting to catch up. But they never do… That lifestyle causes this individual that is unable to concentrate and unable to focus to be ineffectual – contrary to what his ego thinks! For additional source material check the blog page on my website. Some titles to peruse would be Stress, Sickness and Syndromes, The Mind and It’s Modes, Disconnect!, Reclaim Your Brain! and Mental fibrillation.

Want to have better focus? Want to be able to concentrate? Want to enable your mind to function on a higher level? Want to quit being in a stress mode going from one crisis to another? Call Bob Crow for a complimentary consultation.

Stress, sickness and syndromes.

Saturday, September 11th, 2010

Early man didn’t connect childbirth with  sex because the birth of the offspring came so long after the sex act that they weren’t connected. Modern man doesn’t connect the debilitating stress load he’s carrying to heart attacks, strokes, syndromes including IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), chronic fatigue syndrome, cystic fibrosis, PTSS (post traumatic stress syndrome), fibromyalgia and cancer for the same reason. The symptoms don’t manifest themselves for years!

Every cancer researcher knows that there is a connection between stress and most if not all forms of cancer. Stress wrecks havoc on the immune system so it isn’t able to do its job. People can carry a serious stress load with apparently no ill effects for years.

We’ve long realized that man could be pushed over edge mentally by stress, and we now realize that he can be pushed over the edge into an illness or syndrome as well. If a person is mostly generating beta brain waves and does not go into the extremely beneficial alpha and theta waves except for when he falls deep asleep, his body and mind are not able to be refreshed by the alpha and the theta brain waves. One simply cannot relax when the brain is in the beta mode. Ever. Stress is experienced only in the beta state. Don’t get me wrong, we couldn’t function without moving into the beta state, but a balance must be struck.

Stress lowers the immune system. The immune system is what the body uses to fight off infection, disease and these things called syndromes. Syndromes can be every bit as debilitating as a disease, but what is a syndrome anyway? A syndrome is a disorder with some common signs and symptoms that taken together are characteristic of a particular malady. Quite often it defies a positive diagnosis. Alleviation of some or all of the symptoms varies from patient to patient, and regrettably is all that medical science is able to provide at this point in time.

To fight off stress, one must drop down from the beta mode, which is a fully engaged state, into alpha and theta which are the relaxing, the reflective, the introspective and the creative modes. The creative modes are not just for the arts or inventions, they are where the mind comes up with solutions to the problems of life. When the answers to the problems are found – the stress disappears. These two modes, the alpha and the theta mode are where our mind is refreshed and re-energized.bungee run for sale

Stress will most definitely make life less enjoyable and in many cases – unbearable. When we are presented with disappointment uncertainty or what seems like an unsolvable problem or a disaster – the most common reflex is to stress. But what if you instead reflexed to calm? What would that do for your life? Call Bob Crow at 404.277.1827 for a complimentary consultation.
