Quitting Smoking

There was a study done some years ago that proved true. It said that the vast majority of people who quit smoking for nine months, were successful in becoming none smokers for life. So if you are thinking about quitting smoking or have quit recently, then that should be your goal, a target to shoot for. Also it takes 11 days to get the nicotine out of your system. So the first goal is 11 days and then nine months.

GIVING UP THE PAST

There was this man hiking in the mountains, he tripped and fell right off the ledge.There was a branch he grabbed onto and found himself daggling. He looked up and it was straight up.
He looked down and it was straight down.
So he started hollering. HELLO IS THERE ANYONE UP THERE.
HELP, HELP, HELP.CAN SOMEONE HELP ME. All of the sudden he hears this loud booming voice say:
DO YOU BELIEVE. He says what? DO YOU BELIEVE? He says oh yes I believe please help me. The voice says:
DO YOU REALLY BEIEVE? The man says oh yes I really believe, please help me. The voice says:
IF YOU REALLY BELIEVE, LET GO. The man says: say what?
The voice says: IF YOU REALLY BELIEVE LET GO.
The man says: is there some else up there I can talk to?
It is amazing how many people feel this exact way when they are asked to surrender the past.
No matter how bad it is for them, they have lived it for so long they fear that if they let go something terrible will happen.
In reality once I convince them to let go, they actually feel a sense of freedom.

CHRONIC STRESS ACCELERATES AGING
Scientific study shows cells age faster from stress.

Scientists have identified the first direct link between stress and aging. At the tip of each cell is a telomere. It is likened to the plastic tip on a shoe lace. Each time the cells reproduce the telomeres become shorter. The report, published in the current issue of Proceedings of the national academy of Sciences, found that the cells of women under stress had undergone the equivalent of 10 years of additional aging compared to women living normal lives.

IT'S NEVER TO LATE

There’s an old saying “When you start to climb the latter of success, the hardest part is getting through the crowd at the bottom.” And some of that crowd can be in your own mind.

I’m reminded of an interview I saw on TV some time ago. I can’t even remember the names. It was about this man who had been a failure all his life up into his fifties and he had found away to become a millionaire. He was asked what changed what got him started? And he said, you know I just got up one morning and I was standing their looking at myself in the bathroom mirror and I put the cap back on the tooth paste and I started.

In my practice as a clinical hypnotherapist I have had numerous people of all different ages say to me: I wonder if it’s to late for me to change.

Just remember, it’s never to late.

Shingles

I’ve been sitting on the sidelines because I got a bad case of shingles on the right side of my head, forehead and eye lid. Believe me I tried every thing. One of my problems is I am very sensitive to drugs the side effects are worse than the pain. So I was always trying something different. After going through all kinds of pain and agony the pain finally subsided and then the itching started. Every day about 5 pm it would start and keep me up all night. Again I was trying everything that was supposed to help but it all just gave temporary relief and it would wake me up again.

I was keeping my wife up all night with my moaning, even though I was sleeping in another room she could hear me. Finally My wife’s doctor of alternative medicine prescribed what is called Gabapentin 400 MG capsules. And it worked. It took the itching away. It’s for pain also. So if you or someone you know has the shingles, you might have them talk to their doctor about it. The consensus of opinion was that it was brought about by stress which lowered my immune system. So I’ve been taking a lot of Vitamin C, E, Selenium and B complex.

I am now going through what they call the neuralgia stage so I am still taking the capsules. I finally started doing my self hypnosis again and I am feeling much better. It’s amazing, here I am a clinical hypnotherapst and I still fell into the trap of letting life run me. I am a great believer in mastering life and living. But this shingles thing came out of the blue the pain and itching was so bad I lost it. I felt blind sided. I got into martyrism, self pity, self indulgence, feeling futile and depressed. These kinds of feelings never magnetize anything good. Fortunately I caught it in time and now I’m back on track
