- [Hypnosis Works for Weight Loss - Here's Why](https://happinessnowhypnosis.com/hypnosis-works-for-weight-loss-here-s-why/) - Hypnosis Works for Weight Loss - Here's Why People are always asking me if hypnosis works for things like weight loss or to quit smoking or to relieve stress along with a wide variety of circumstances and the answer is almost always "yes." The reason my answer is almost always yes is because all of your emotions and most of your behaviors are either controlled entirely or greatly influenced by your unconscious mind and the unconscious mind is where hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming works effectively to create the lasting positive changes people are wanting. Let's take weight loss as an example. Eating is very much an unconscious behavior. People eat for a variety of reasons, the least of which normally is healthy nutrition. People eat when they're stressed, bored, depressed, celebrating, tired, anxious, being social and from time to time to nourish their body. All these reasons, except healthy eating, are controlled by the unconscious part of your mind.

- [9 Hypnotherapy Based Tips to Lose Weight Permanently](https://happinessnowhypnosis.com/9-hypnotherapy-based-tips-to-lose-weight-permanently/) - When I tell people that I'm a hypnotherapist, they inevitably ask: Does it work? When I assure them it does, they usually have a follow up question along the lines of “could it help me lose weight, quit smoking, feel better about myself or some other personal issue they are dealing with.” In most cases, I am pleased to tell them that yes, hypnotherapy can be an effective tool for creating that change in their life. Hypnosis predates carbohydrate and calorie counting by a few hundred years yet this well proven attention-focusing technique has yet to be embraced wholeheartedly by the medical community as an effective weight loss tool. This, despite the fact that hypnosis prestigious hospitals in the U.S. now use and teach hypnosis, such as Stanford University School of Medicine in San Francisco, the Beth Israel Medical Center in Boston, and University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Since the American Medical Association sanctioned the use of hypnosis, many insurance companies cover hypnosis for some medical and dental uses, including major surgeries.

In short, they were acknowledging that hypnotherapy works.

Self-confidence is an essential element in almost every aspect of our lives affecting everything from our careers to our relationships yet many people struggle to gain it. Sad too is the fact that low self confidence can be a vicious circle as negative outcomes, the result of low self-confidence, tend to confirm a person's low self-image thereby lowering self-confidence even further.

- [Is Type 2 Diabetes a Medical or Behavior Problem?](https://happinessnowhypnosis.com/is-type-2-diabetes-a-medical-or-behavior-problem/) - Type 2 Diabetes in the US is at epidemic levels and it shows no sign of abating. To make matters worse, most studies indicate that adherence to healthy Type 2 Diabetes management practices among Type 2 Diabetics is around 30%. This means most Type 2 Diabetics are slowly killing themselves because they are unable to make the lifestyle changes necessary to prevent the catastrophic complications that accompany this disorder. The diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes means that your blood glucose levels (A1C) are consistently higher than those of a healthy individual. It doesn't indicate whether a high A1C is due to a poorly functioning pancreas or whether the patient's muscle cells have become so insulin resistant that they are no longer able to absorb enough glucose to keep up with the body's production. Accordingly, the diagnose relates to a symptom, and not an actual cause.

The claim is made that their gastric bypass – no surgery formula fills the stomach to the point where you can't eat as much, just as if you had gastric bypass surgery and so you will lose weight. The ads also claim, correctly that the gastric bypass - no surgery program is less expensive than surgery. The question on a lot of people's minds is, does it work and if it does, how much does it cost? Regarding the question, “Does it work?”, the answer is a qualified yes. By qualified, I mean that, if taken according to directions and with at least a minimum amount of motivation, most people will probably lose weight temporarily with this program.

- [You - Version 2.0](https://happinessnowhypnosis.com/you-version-2-0/) - Your mind is the most amazing and sophisticated biological computer on earth. It processes up to 200 million bits of information every second and it has a seemingly unlimited capacity to store data (memories). The conscious part of your brain, on the other hand, is only capable of processing about 60 bits of information per second, depending upon the task. The rest of the information is processed and filtered by the unconscious mind. One way to look at the relationship between the conscious mind and the unconscious mind would be to compare it to the relationship between you and your computer. Imagine the computer is the body, you, as the computer operator, are the conscious portion of the mind and the operating system is the unconscious portion of your mind.
- [Why New Years Resolutions Often Don't Work](https://happinessnowhypnosis.com/why-new-years-resolutions-often-don-t-work/) - It's time once again for that time honored tradition of coming up with a New Years Resolution.

Researchers found that of 52 children with the tummy troubles, those who had six hypnosis sessions -- plus at-home "self-hypnosis" -- were still doing well five years later. More than two-thirds were free or mostly free of abdominal pain. That compared with just 20 percent of kids who were given standard therapy alone.
- [The Keys to Successful Type 2 Diabetes Management](https://happinessnowhypnosis.com/the-keys-to-successful-type-2-diabetes-management/) - A diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes is your body's way of telling you that you've already put off taking care of your body for too long and that you had better get started now. Heed the message and the diagnosis can mark a positive turning point in your life that will result in a longer, healthier and happier life. Ignore it and you could be headed for all kinds of misery such as blindness, amputations and heart disease along with a greatly shortened life to name just a few of the possible complications that can result from poor Type 2 Diabetes management. While some people have a genetic predisposition to insulin resistance, a primary factor in Type 2 Diabetes, in most cases it's the lifestyle that turns that predisposition into a reality. The combination of poor nutritional habits and a sedentary lifestyle is why obesity and Type 2 Diabetes are at epidemic levels in the US today. There is good news however... you can choose how your Type 2 Diabetes affects you.
- [Is Hypnotherapy the Key to Successful and Permanent Weight Loss?](https://happinessnowhypnosis.com/is-hypnotherapy-the-key-to-successful-and-permanent-weight-loss/) - Hypnotherapy succeeds at creating permanent weight loss where diets don't because it focuses on the real reason people are overweight in the first place. What does it tell you when America has the most serious and ongoing obesity epidemic of any country in the world yet, for years, it's also been the country with more different diet plans than the rest of the world combined? The obvious conclusion is this: DIETS DON'T WORK! Or to be more precise, diets may work for a little while but, in most cases, they don't succeed at creating permanent weight loss. The reason diets don't work is simple and fundamental. Whether it's fad diet from a book or a prepackaged Nutri-System style food plan, they all address what you eat and how much you eat but they don't get to the core reason people are overweight in the first place and that's why you eat.
- [Deeming Obesity a Disease Does More Harm Than Good](https://happinessnowhypnosis.com/deeming-obesity-a-disease-does-more-harm-than-good/) - When the American Medical Association deemed obesity a “disease” it may have done more harm than good.

This data was the result of responses from 700 participants who took an online survey.
- [Hypnotherapy Continues to Gain Mainstream Acceptance](https://happinessnowhypnosis.com/hypnotherapy-continues-to-gain-mainstream-acceptance/) - Thanks to on-stage entertainers and a wide variety of movies featuring hypnotized cast members acting stupid or worse, being manipulated to do unspeakable things, for many, hypnosis has a bad rep for being little more than pure entertainment. The truth about hypnosis and hypnotherapy. however, is something completely different. Hypnosis as a healing tool has existed since the 15th century and since 1841 and has been further refined and improved by some of the most capable and advanced psychologists and researchers of their time. While its story has been tarnished by decades of disrepute, since the it's now making its way back into the mainstream.
- [Eliminate Limiting Beliefs Through Hypnotherapy](https://happinessnowhypnosis.com/eliminate-limiting-beliefs-through-hypnotherapy/) - We live our lives in accordance with to our beliefs. Beliefs are the structure of reality... or more accurately, reality as we percieve it. It's our beliefs that control or limit what we we can or can't do or become in life. In fact, your beliefs are so powerful they can either make or break you. Using hypnotherapy, I work every day helping people eliminate their limiting beliefs while creating new, empowering beliefs. The one constant over the years is that we... all of us.. are our beliefs.
- [Robin Williams and Joan Rivers, Same Professions but Worlds Apart](https://happinessnowhypnosis.com/robin-williams-and-joan-rivers-same-professions-but-worlds-apart/) - Robin Williams and Joan Rivers are two comedic icons yet live(ed) in two remarkably different worlds. Robin used humor, along with alcohol to cope with and mask depression while Joan used humor to laugh at everyone including herself. I can only wonder how funny Robin might have been if he had been able to remain sober and manage the depression that robbed him of his life and the world of his amazing talent and humanity. Depression is not a laughing matter. Depression affects more than one's mood. It negatively affects a person's health, their longevity and their productivity. The causes and potential cures for depression are the subject of study and conjecture.

People intentionally create Eustress through sports, gambling, business, watching scary movies and riding roller coasters. Eustress is created by the subconscious mind. Negative stress (distress) is also created by the subconscious mind and can sometimes be very appropriate and useful... for example... in an emergency situation.
- [Does Gastric Bypass Hypnosis Surgery Work?](https://happinessnowhypnosis.com/does-gastric-bypass-hypnosis-surgery-work/) - Does Gastric Bypass Hypnosis Surgery Work? When dieting fails, people often consider gastric bypass surgery as a way to succeed in losing weight. Because of the cost and the risk involved in undergoing gastric bypass surgery, many people who find themselves at their weight loss wit's end, also consider a “virtual gastric bypass surgery”, also called gastric bypass hypnosis surgery. In gastric bypass hypnosis surgery, the client is put into a relaxed and comfortable hypnotized state. Then through suggestion the client “imagines” the gastric lap band being surgically inserted and tightened. Following the session, the client's unconscious mind believes there is a gastric band around the stomach making the client feel full after just a few bites, the same as if a lap band had actually been surgically implanted.
- [Do What You Love or Love What You Do](https://happinessnowhypnosis.com/do-what-you-love-or-love-what-you-do/) - Do What You Love or Love What You Do "Thank God it's Friday" is a well worn phrase indicating satisfaction and joy at reaching the end of one's work week. While it certainly applies to many, as joyful an expression as it is, it's also sad in a way because it represents the feelings of someone who doesn't really love their work. So...how much do you love your job?
