Do you have any idea how many of my clients about 45 and up are worried about aging? Why is it such a dirty word?
Some of the thoughts...or misconceptions....are from what we learned throughout our life. Of course the media plays a part. We see young people in their 20s as the only worthwhile thing to be. No wonder our country could use a little help. This is true for men and women. You've all been hypnotized by what you have been watching. You have been duped into feeling bad and aren't using your valuable time and knowledge for the betterment of yourself and others. So...let's reframe our thoughts here.
There is value in everyone, at every age, yet we are so busy worrying about "aging" that we neglect to enjoy life. Enjoy it!
Enjoy it? You mean life is meant to be enjoyed? Um...yes.
Enjoy your wisdom. Acquired wisdom is a gift that you worked for. Don't undervalue it and, please, use it to your advantage. I certainly don't want to be twenty and that is the truth. My priorities are different. My thoughts are different. My focus is different.
Yet men and women still come in and tell me how they gain weight over forty and there is nothing you can do. There is nothing you can do if you want to do nothing. Whatever is important to you, you will give your time to. So if being physically fit is your goal, then do it. If losing weight is your goal, then do it. You are more capable than you think. With your acquired wisdom, spend your time doing things that make you happy. Try to weed out (or limit) the things that don't make you happy. But by all means do the things that make you feel good.
You don't have to look at the world through twenty year old eyes the rest of your life. Look at them in the moment...through the age of the eyes you have...and appreciate you. Make the necessary changes so that you feel good. Don't create goals based upon your goals when you were twenty. Likely you don't have the same focus. And isn't that wonderful!
We are not "aging" and, therefore, no longer valuable to society and ourselves. So we are maturing, gathering wisdom, using our wisdom, fine-tuning our life, shifting our priorities. Despite what you see in the media, you ARE VALUABLE, more than you realize. You have a lot to contribute to others.
Appreciate yourself. Prioritize for your personal happiness. Feel as good as you can. Stop measuring yourself by the standards of others. When you reframe your thoughts...from aging and negative thoughts....to seasoned, professional, mature, valuable, knowledgeable, etc, then life can change for you.
Seasoned people get the higher paying jobs. Their knowledge and life experience is sought after and desired. See yourself as that person.
Then laugh and enjoy life. Make time for what they truly enjoy. Don't worry about flaws and being like everyone else; stand out. Be an individual with value and substance. Your perception of getting older matters. Do you want to be the aging person or the person who has learned to enjoy life and who they really are? Your choice.

Nature and Learning Hypnosis: My Training Program
Spending time in nature makes me feel relaxed and wonderful. I purchased a weekend home in PA in 2005 and made it my permanent home in 2011. That didn't take long.
I thought it was going to be a weekend home and, ultimately, a retirement home. I spent my whole life in the suburbs of Long Island...plenty of trees, grass, flowers, etc. For me, it's just not the same as mountains, forests, streams, rivers and wildlife. It's something I seem to need...in a positive way. I find myself much closer to feeling my best, being truly happy and following my personal bliss.
As a Hypnotist and Instructor I struggled with some of the programs available for others who wanted to learn hypnosis. I researched many. I wanted to teach students hypnosis, of course, and most programs do that adequately. But I felt especially passionate about including a more intense program of marketing, technology and setting up and running an office. Experience with the hypnotists I've met found them lacking in skills that could improve the hypnotic experience for the client and improve their business, thus improving the reputation of hypnosis. In order for hypnosis to be understood and more common place, I sincerely feel that education is important...but so is consistency and professionalism. I want to personally help raise the standards for hypnosis.
Image a person using hypnosis for their first course of action....they learn valuable life skills and experience NO side effects!
One other thing that I want to do is work with the individual with regard to mind, body and spirit. I recognize the intense growth in me personally as a result of being happy and being in nature. When conditions are optimum, there is creativity, excitement, progress, productivity. I realize the value nature has played in that for me...the ability to connect with nature...to connect with a higher power...to feel as one with what is. This natural environment comes with a slower pace...a reason to go outside....more connection with people...and nature. I may see less people, but the connection is there. There are no faceless shapes moving past me at the speed of sound.
Naturally, I wanted to help my hypnosis students with a connection and I especially wanted to connect with those who are lacking in natural experiences or those who live in them...but have grown accustomed to staying away, staying inside. My supplemental program embraces nature, healing, personal awareness. The intensity with which you can experience it is only as far as you will take it.
On my personal spiritual journey through life...and hypnosis...and healing....I had to shed the old, antiquated thoughts and fears that were holding me back. So it was only "natural" that I used hypnosis with my students as well....to get them used to it....to seek assistance with an old thought or fear that comes up for them along their journey..as well as for their clients. Learning, growing, all make the hypnotist better, thus making them better for others.
My program is an experience. My intention is for my students to succeed...in life, in pursuing happiness, with personal goals...and as a hypnotist. If you want to know more, call me at 800 827 0339. I will either answer or call you back....but you are very important...and I want to connect with you...www.hypnosisforabetteryou.com....

Keep Your New Year's Resolution
You make your New Year's resolution
with the best of intentions. So why do you have so much trouble
keeping it?
Many of us want to get motivated to exercise, lose weight, stop smoking or some similar self-improvement goal. We really want the benefits of the change we desire, but achieving that goal may feel monumental. So how can we achieve success and keep our New Year's resolution? When I work with my clients, the first things we do is establish goals for success!
- Set a well-defined, positive goal that's time-specific. Saying you will “lose weight” is not enough. Make the goal to lose ten pounds in the next three months. You can always set another goal when you attain that one and you will feel so good.
- Make your goal something that can be measured. “I will exercise is too vague” and can't be measured. A better goal would be, “I will exercise three times a day for one half hour.”
- Set an achievable, realistic goal. You will get discouraged quickly if it seems out of reach or if you don't see immediate results. Take small steps and get into the “habit” of succeeding.
- Enlist the help of family, friends, children, parents and co-workers. Let them know what you are doing. Get support, encouragement and an expectation of results.
- Reward yourself for success.
Once you have established a well-defined goal, there will be moments in the process that cause you to feel challenged. We all feel challenged sometimes, but quitting doesn't have to be the result. Stress, old habits, busy schedules and many other factors can cause us to feel like giving up or not take the time to succeed. Meditation and self-hypnosis are two ways in which to support yourself while you are working to attain your goal. Take the time to relax and unwind so you are equipped to meet any challenges that may come you way. If you have a bad day, go back to the goal, don't abandon it.
It takes time to establish new, positive habits to replace our old habits (28 days), so give yourself the time, effort and planning it takes to get the results you desire. If weight is the issue, then plan ahead and make a beautiful lunch to take with you instead of eating out of the candy machine at the last minute. If you are looking to exercise and your can't “find the time” then pair it with another activity, such as walking with a friend or child during a discussion or at an event. Find ways to make it happen.
Feeling like you are “worth the effort” is a personal challenge for many people with busy lives, but the benefits far outweigh the effort. Find ways to succeed for the New Year. It will be a new habit that will serve you well in many ways throughout 2015.

REINVENT YOUR LIFE!
Who are you and what do you want to be? Who you are right now does not have to define you for eternity. You can make changes in anything you desire. You can reinvent your life!
I'm not talking about being phony. You don't have to pretend...unless it gets you the confidence you need to take the first step. If pretending you are a great public speaker gets you to do it when you never thought it possible, by all means, pretend until you get the desired result. No deception, just changing your mind to accept that it's possible for you to do.
Too often we set limits for ourselves. These self-imposed limits may be based upon old, antiquated thoughts and perceptions. We keep these in our subconscious mind and we got these "messages" from parents, peers, teachers and others in the world. Based upon your perceptions of reality and how others viewed you, you might have formed some "roadblocks" to doing what truly makes you happy and what you want.
As we get further away from what makes us happy, we don't always think things are possible. CHANGING YOUR MIND is the first step to thinking things are possible. Change your mind and create new habits. Leave the old habits and stale thinking that no longer serve you behind.
Reinvent your life. Hypnosis can give you the jump start you need to be your happiest!

Self-Hypnosis, Meditation and Panic Attacks
Self-Hypnosis, Meditation and Panic Attacks
I found out about hypnosis because of the panic attacks I used to have all the time. I experienced every symptom you can have with a panic attack. I ruled out anything medical, yet I was still offered medication and no other solution. I knew that was not something I wanted to do...to just numb myself and that I had to find a way to permanently address the issue. I chose something with no side effects and that would offer a lasting solution. I haven't had a panic attack in approximately 15 years.
I teach clients self-hypnosis for panic attacks and anxiety, as well as for self-improvement and general well-being. ABC News/Nightline anchor Dan Harris has written a book on meditation and the benefits to him personally. Self-hypnosis and meditation are very similar. Both induce a relaxed state that has been shown to improve areas of your brain, your thoughts and your mood. The way you think affects your body, your health and your daily life experience.
You can learn self-hypnosis with me on April 5th in Mount Cobb PA. If you're not from here, you might still want to attend because visiting this area is wonderful. If you are not able to attend, I will be selling Self-Hypnosis DVDs to those who are interested. I have an instructional video for people who want to learn the amazing benefits of self-hypnosis. The more you practice, the better you get. Contact me if you or someone you know are interested.

All About Hypnosis
Why Hypnosis? Well, why not.
To date I have received some very interesting ways people show fear about something they know little about. They don't want me to hurt others and they are liable...They don't want me to control their mind....they don't want me to make them do silly things....they don't want to be stuck in hypnosis.... Thank you, Hollywood!
The truth about hypnosis is that hypnotists don't impose their will on another. You can't get stuck in hypnosis. And you can use it to your advantage for a multitude of self-improvement issues.
So what is hypnosis? It's a natural state and you are in and out of it every single day. If you are really engrossed in a movie or your favorite television program...and someone tried to get your attention, but were unable to...that would be hypnosis. It is a relaxed state of intense focus and attention. Natural and normal.
So how does hypnosis help with something you want to achieve...like stopping the habit of smoking? Hypnosis relaxes your conscious mind and gives the hypnotist the opportunity to speak to the subconscious mind. During the session, we give you suggestions to become a non smoker and we reinforce it with a CD that you can listen to at home so you form a new habit...becoming a non-smoker.
It is natural and normal. There are no side effects and it is lasting. If you have a strong will and want to commit to making a change for the better, contact me and I will tell you what hypnosis can do for you. Call 800 827 0339 to find out more....
