Eating Can Be A Distraction
If you are eating right now because you are hungry, you are feeding your inborn need to nourish your cells. Isn't it great how your mind tells you to eat when you are truly hungry? However, if you are eating right now and you are not hungry, you are probably eating to distract yourself from something else.
Put your fork down and decide what that is.
What did you come up with? Boredom, frustration, sadness, pain...
If you feel any of those emotions, that is OKAY, they are merely inner emotions that tell us something needs to change. Think about the warning lights on the dashboard of your car. Let's say your oil light comes on...what do you do? You have a choice: put in oil, or put in more gas. Perhaps your response is, "Why would I put in gas if the oil light is on?" The answer lies in the reason you put in food "gas" when your "emotional" warning light comes on.
Let's pretend your emotional feeling light comes on and says, "I'm bored" you don't go to the frig and put in more food (if your desire is to have a healthy body) but instead you make a change in your routine or otherwise deal with your boredom.
Emotional feelings are normal, be in touch with them, listen to what they are telling you and respond in a way that is satisfying, but not damaging to your health.
Learn more about emotional eating on Dec 8 at my mini-workshop at the Wellness Institute and Medical Spa 6-7 pm. RSVP 817-358-5880.

Sales. It's A Matter Of Mind. Part Three
Last issue we discussed the Law of Concentrated Attention and how it relates to success in sales, to recap:
What is your thought right now about your ability to succeed in business and in sales? The Law of Concentrated Attention states, “What you focus your concentrated attention on, over and over spontaneously tends to become a reality.” Or, another way to say it is: “What you expect to happen, happens.”
Retrain Your Brain
One of my favorite things to teach people is how their thoughts are making them better at something or sometimes worse at something. I’d like to challenge you to do something differently this week: spend time visualizing and imagining the correct outcome of a sales experience
What if you avoid new clients, imagine seeing yourself open and receptive to them. What if you don’t like representing a new product, see yourself absorbing the details of that product like a sponge.
Improvement In Sales Skills
So, why are we able to make behavioral changes by only visualizing an activity? It is because your subconscious mind does not know the difference between a real and an imagined activity. Imagining, visualizing and hypnotizing your brain creates the SAME response as doing the actual activity. So going back to the Law of Concentrated Attention, doesn’t that make sense?
I would like to point out the difference between the “real activity” and the “hypnotic practice session”. When you are doing the real activity, you are doing it RIGHT and WRONG. Every time visual a sales success you are also creating a new neuralpathway in the brain that support that activity. Your brain doesn't know which one is right or wrong. So as you may have already realized, the fastest improvement in any skill is the repetition of doing it correctly, in your mind. You can certainly use hypnosis to speed up the process.
More next time.
