Your Weight Loss Mindset

There is Only Now

Monday, October 1st, 2007

I’m on an airplane right now, thinking about a conversation I had after my stress seminar this morning.

A man came up to me and asked all sorts of questions about whether I thought my self-hypnosis CD “Unlimited Confidence” could help him with his own lack of confidence.

It seems that every time he has to give a presentation in front of a group he dreads screwing it up (therefore all but insuring that he will) and then obsesses over it for days afterward, feeling miserable the entire time.

I reassured him that this is exactly the kind of issue that this CD is meant to address, but he still seemed hesitant. “But I’ve had this problem for such a long time.” he moaned, “It’s so entrenched.” My answer to him is what I offer you now…

First of all, there is no such thing as time. Time is a fabrication we construct to make our lives seem more linear and therefore more in control. Dwelling on what we perceive to be past mistakes only exacerbates their hold over us. You can do NOTHING about whatever has happened in the past. It is done. There is only now.

What Holds You Back?

Friday, September 14th, 2007

In the past few days since my last Blog posting, I’ve flown to Alaska (and bought a coat!), performed my hypnosis show twice and my stress reduction and weight loss seminars once, and spent the rest of my time doing the following:

• Ziplining in the rainforest canopy
• Photographing bears fishing for salmon in the wild
• Visiting two glaciers and reveling in the serenity and silence of the crisp, clean air
• Pontooning in the midst of dozens of humpback and killer whales
• Hiking up the side of a mountain to the foot of a steep and thundering waterfall

What have you done this week?

I don’t ask this to make you jealous or resentful. Far from it. I ask because I enjoy, no LOVE showing people how to live their dreams, but before I can do that they first have to identify what their dreams are. I’ve found that most people have buried them under years of unfulfilling work, unsatisfying relationships, and resignation to the daily grind.

I’m no different… I just did something about it.
