Are You Missing Opportunities Because of Self-Doubt?

Do you worry that if you start up a conversation with someone, or speak up in a meeting, you might end up saying something weird, stupid, or even worse, boring? 

Are you reluctant to meet new people and build great relationships, because you just can't imagine that they would be interested in you?

Maybe you've known people who seem totally comfortable with being themselves whatever the situation, and whoever else is around. Wouldn't it be great to look, feel and act as confident and relaxed as them for once?

Genuine self-confidence is one of the most attractive qualities a person can have. Let's face it: people who are insecure are a big turn-off in both business and personal relationships.  And people who overcompensate because of their insecurities are just obnoxious.  

Unfortunately, many people carry a poor self-image.  This can lead to a cycle of even more insecurity as a person's self-esteem and confidence is worn down by the reactions of people around them, which are just reflections of how they feel about themselves. 

You may unconsciously be projecting negative signals about yourself to everyone you meet, whether it's on a first date, a job interview, or a sales call.

Maybe you let other people "walk all over you", because you worry that if you stood up for yourself and your priorities, they might not like you; and so you lose sight of the fact that in the end they neither like nor respect you!

Hypnosis is powerful because it makes positive changes directly to your subconscious mind, which is where all your habits and beliefs are stored.  This includes your emotions and beliefs about your self-image, which can influence how you present yourself to others.

In the past, you may have tried to talk yourself into having more confidence, or read books and attended seminars to pump yourself up. But in order to make real, long-lasting changes, you have to deal with your core beliefs about yourself.

Stop Selling Yourself Short!

Hypnosis breaks the pattern of self-defeating thoughts and behavior in your subconscious.  Working together, you and the hypnotist neutralize any negative emotional baggage that you may be carrying, and develop more productive perceptions and beliefs about yourself.

Since these changes are made at the subconscious level, they become a permanent part of your personality.  These positive changes become an automatic part of you, and this affects everything from how you present yourself to your daily outlook on life.

You gain a more positive attitude about your self-worth, without becoming arrogant, deluded or overconfident.  Imagine being able to take action without being paralyzed by self-doubt:

• Break free of limiting beliefs about how successful you deserve to be
• Gain the ability to ask someone for their business card, phone number or email without worrying about whether it will develop into a lifelong relationship
• Gain the confidence to just have a conversation without worrying about what the other person is thinking of you
• Gain the attitude that rejections are "no big deal".

You know that the key to success isn't found in get-rich-quick schemes. And real relationships aren't built on shallow gimmicks and techniques. Your subconscious mind can either be the driving force towards the results you desire, or it can create obstacles at every turn.

Imagine being fearless and totally comfortable with just being yourself!

Most importantly: don't just daydream-- take action now. Contact me today to find out how I can help you succeed and go beyond your self-imposed limits.

Stop Smoking Forever

• Wouldn't you like to go through a whole day and not have to think about when you were going to get your next chance to smoke?
• Wouldn't it be great to feel like you're in control, not the cigarettes?
• Do you feel yourself slowing down and getting more tired and worn-out as you continue smoking? Do you recognize that things will go downhill even faster, the more you keep smoking?
• Are you sick of waking up and starting every day with a bout of hacking and coughing?
• Imagine being able to walk into a room and not having to worry in the back of your mind about how badly you smell!

If I could show you how you can become a non-smoker forever, no matter how long or how much you've smoked, without drugs, pills or patches, would you be interested in knowing more?

WARNING!

If the main reason you want to quit is:

* Someone in your life is nagging you
* Your doctor says you need to
* You want to be alive for your children

...BUT you still enjoy smoking, or like the idea of being cool and rebellious by smoking, and think of cigarettes as "your friend" ---

Sorry, you probably aren't ready to quit!
YOU MIGHT AS WELL READ NO FURTHER!

If you are no longer a teenager and yet still believe that smoking makes you more mature, glamorous or interesting, I doubt that I can help you.

Isn't it Time You Grew Up?

Ready to face harsh reality? Try this: for the next few days, every time you go past an office building or bar, take a good look at the kinds of folks huddling outside on their smoke breaks.

They look like real winners, don't they? So glamorous and exciting and mysterious!

Yeah, Right!

According to an MSN Money article "The High Cost of Smoking": "Numerous studies find that smokers earn anywhere from 4% to 11% less than nonsmokers. It's not just a loss of productivity to smoke breaks and poorer health that takes a financial toll, researchers theorize; smokers are perceived to be less attractive and successful as well."

Also in that article: a 40-year-old who quits smoking and puts the savings into an average 401(k) would have nearly $250,000 by age 70.

If you had the opportunity to make a small investment in yourself with a good likelihood of banking a quarter million later, would you do it?

That's a no-brainer, even if saving money isn't the main reason you want to quit smoking...

Maybe you're so financially well off that a quarter million is no big deal to you. But what about Time? Time is even more valuable than money after all. Time lost can never be regained.

Have you ever stopped to think about how much Time you lose every day by smoking? Let's guess that each cigarette takes 5 minutes minimum. So a pack a day = at least an hour and a half every day.

That's almost 50 hours per month!

And that 5-minute assumption is on the low end, if you think about the time it takes to buy smokes, to go in and out of smoke breaks, the interruptions to whatever you were doing...

Now, are there any areas in your life that you keep telling yourself "I just can't find the time to get to that" or "I'm so busy, there aren't enough hours in the day!"

And in the meantime, more than an entire work-week is going up in smoke every month, with nothing to show for it...

Yes, Hypnosis is "Real" and It Works!

According to the largest scientific study to compare the effectiveness of various smoking cessation methods: hypnosis has the highest success rate of any approach.

The only exception was in situations where a person was undergoing serious cardiac or pulmonary problems that forced them to stop smoking for medical reasons. I wonder if you'll have to get to that point in order to stop smoking, or not.

This study, published by the University of Iowa, analyzed the results of over 600 previous scientific studies involving more than 70,000 people.  But don't take my word for it: the link to this study is here (Adobe PDF document). 

Hypnosis was more than twice as effective as the nicotine gum approach.  Hypnosis has the added benefit of being completely safe and natural. Some smokers who use nicotine patches and gums find themselves smoking while using the medication, which is even more harmful. 

Beyond any scientific research, what matters most is your level of individual commitment and motivation to become a non-smoker forever.  If you can't stand the idea of cigarettes having control over part of your life, then you will do well, and I am ready to help you. 

But if you just half-heartedly want to give it a try, then give some thought as to whether you really want to spend the rest of your life as a smoker, before getting in touch with me.  Hopefully you will make the choice to be a non-smoker before it's too late.

Are you ready to take control and leave this useless habit behind? Here is how the stop smoking program works:

• Smoking can usually be handled in two sessions.
• Free follow-up (if needed) for people who have been through the two session program.
• Very few clients need to come in for the free follow-up.

I say "usually" because in cases where people are having major difficulties in other areas of their life, often it's better to handle those things first, then it's easier to become a non-smoker once those issues are taken care of.  Contact me if you would like to discuss your specific situation.

Diets and Exercise Not Working?

You've probably tried a lot of different diets.  Maybe you've signed up for expensive gym memberships but just couldn't force yourself to work out enough to make a difference.  The problem is that conscious willpower usually fades before good eating habits and regular exercise can become automatic behavior for you. 

Hypnosis works by making positive changes directly to your subconscious mind, which is where all your habits and beliefs are stored.  This includes your emotions and beliefs about your self-image, which can be factors in how you treat yourself and your body in regards to food. 

Unfortunately, many people have also acquired a mental habit of connecting emotions such as boredom, insecurity or sadness with food, so that eating becomes more than just a way of satisfying true physical hunger.  This can lead to a cycle of even more insecurity as a person's self-esteem and confidence is worn down by their continued lack of control and inability to stay on a diet. 

Willpower is temporary and fades away.  It is only when a person has changed their attitude about themselves and their relationship with food that they can make healthy eating an everyday part of their life.      

At Center City Hypnosis, I can help you do this.  The focus is not on depriving yourself so that you lose "X" number of pounds in record time, just to gain it back later.        

We rapidly change unwanted thoughts and feelings about food and exercise, so that food doesn't play a major role in your daily life.  You'll feel like you're in control, not the snacks.   

• We aim to change your eating habits and how you relate to food over the course of three to five sessions.
• During the initial consultation we work together to identify positive alternative (guilt-free) behaviors that will be much more satisfying than any junk food could ever be.
• Many clients are surprised at how these changes occur without a lot of struggle and without feeling deprived.

During hypnosis, we direct your willpower to change how you relate to food, eating and exercise.  Then you will be able to treat your body with respect, so that you don't overdo either dieting or consumption. Positive change will follow. Good eating habits will become a natural part of your personality.

Unhealthy, sugary snacks and greasy fattening foods will become less appealing to you than a nice piece of fruit or a tasty salad. You will spend less time thinking about the next opportunity to have a donut or piece of chocolate cake. 

Anyone who suspects they may have an eating disorder or medical condition should seek assistance from a state-licensed medical or psychological professional.  Hypnosis should not be used as a stand-alone treatment for medical or psychological disorders.

If you have been formally diagnosed with a disorder or medical condition, I will need a written referral from your healthcare provider to assist you directly with that condition. Contact me for details regarding the referral procedure.
