Hypnosis. It’s like getting a pedicure on your brain.
Scott Adams, the creator of the hugely popular Dilbert cartoon strip wrote a great article about hypnosis recently. He credits it with most of the success he has achieved in his life which I found really interesting.
People who use hypnosis to quit smoking and quit overeating have about the same success as people who use other methods. In other words, it works less than half the time. The reason is simple. Hypnosis can only help you do what you want to do.
Some people have a problem with the idea of hypnosis because they don’t want someone else having control over them. That’s the wrong way to think of it. A hypnotist is more like a coach, or a tour guide. He shows the subject how to unlock his extra powers. He doesn’t “control” the subject. In fact, I’ve never known anyone who didn’t totally enjoy the feeling of being hypnotized. It’s like getting a pedicure on your brain. It’s deeply relaxing, and the hypnotist does all of the work. It feels a bit like being pampered.Although I have dabbled in hypnosis, I have never really gone on a course. Maybe it is time to do so.
By the way, the best hypnosis stuff I have ever listened to is from Paul McKenna. He’s truly a master of the art. Download the free hypnotic track from his website - it’s the same one that comes with his book Change Your Life In 7 Days (cheesy title - great read).
