More tips to keep you motivated to exercise and just to get started on
days you don't feel like it.  These
are fun, mind games - to keep you going when its time to "get out
there" but you would rather stay in bed.

Don't forget that exercise gives you energy and lifts your spirits - so
just start for 5 mins - and momentum will take over.  I hope you enjoy them.
Please let me know if you want more ideas or share your own.

5 great tips to keep you motivated during exercise.

THINK! Think about what would motivate you to keep going vs. letting your "chatterbox of doubt" make you give up or fail.  If you just use a little creativity, you will find hundreds of ways to keep going.  These are my top 5 when I am out for a run.

1.  Pretend you are leading a class of new runners.  In your head, imagine what you would be telling them about proper running style.  What foods to eat, how to prepare with good clothes and shoes (what do you personally like to recommend).  Is there something, like tension socks or runners gadgets you think are worthwhile to invest in?  Then tell them about breathing, stride, pacing, interval training, best posture, the importance of warming up and cooling down, stretching.    By the time you have finished telling "your class" about the joys of running, you will be done with your own run.

2.  Imagine you are on a TV program.  Similar to above, but when I do this, I imagine I am in the middle of some endurance test (even if it is 5K) and explaining why I run and a little of my history and when I started running.  I "talk" about all the benefits I get from running and exercise in my life and about other exercise I do to keep my body in shape.  Again, by giving this your full focus, you will not consider stopping for a moment - how would that look on national television?

3.  Pray.  It does not have to be 12 Our Fathers and Hail Mary's, (however I did do this once during a 10K race through London - partly because I didn't really have time to train for the 10K and had been only doing 5K's, and it was my first 10K).  But you can also use the time to be thankful for everything you have in your life and break it down.  I think of people, starting with family, then friends, then neighbours, and other people I regularly see, but not socially.

Then I think of health, and break down my whole body into sections.  I thank my body areas one by one for the work they do to help me run.  Starting with the toes for the balance they give my body, and work my way up...ball and heal of feet/knees/thighs/legs for the power they bring to the run etc.  Then heart, blood cells, muscles, stomach (nutrition), even sweat to keep you cool etc..., if you break your body up into the fine detail, you can spend 30 minutes or more preoccupying your mind.

4.  Break up your even into smaller chunks.  Like I tell my marathon runners, "It is simply 4 x 10Ks with a little extra on the end.  In any race, the last 1k is mainly for you to savour the cheers from your fans when you finish your marathon.  Even if it is a smaller run or walk, break up each 1K into a project.  Sing a song on the first one, think of your favourite holiday and relive it on the second 1K, etc...

5.  Rewards.  As my partner would advise, have an ice cold beer waiting for you when you return.  I would suggest a healthier reward but no matter what it is, at least you will have deserved it.  

Enjoy your exercise but more importantly, enjoy using the creativity of your brilliant mind.

MY 6 WEEK DETOX DIARY AND SELF-HYPNOSIS – FOR YOUR BENEFIT (UPDATED WEEKLY – WEEK 6!!!!)

So totally worth it!  I am going to continue on my new lifestyle path and I really am feeling better and better as the days and weeks have passed.  

This morning I was so looking forward to my morning run that I actually beat my alarm clock.  The runs I have had with Tina (my neighbour) are so enjoyable and the time goes by so quickly.  It is not just about running but catching up on news too that makes it fun.  I am looking forward to runs with my brother when I get to the States.

I reordered my detox teas for 15 more days.  It had nothing to do with the detox aspect as much as I really enjoyed the taste of them and I figured it would be good to drink them until I leave for the States. 

My calendar will continue to grow in colour and happiness - it really inspires me.  I do feel like a little kid putting on my stickers but I honestly love it, and I deserve my sticker!

Tips for this final week

1. When you begin your journey - approach it as a life long goal.  The benefits in the end will make you feel good every day.

2. Ask others to get involved in exercising, eating better, etc… it is easier and more enjoyable if everyone benefits.  They might not be as committed but they will benefit and be inspired to make some changes.  They don’t have to live in the same house but the encouragement will continue to inspire both of you.

3.  Again, so important to write down your end goals and action them.  Once I meet my goal, my plan is to go into management of maintaining the goal.  This will require me to make an action plan.  My calendar will help me stick to achieving the daily goals.  The self-hypnosis at night will also keep me focused.

So my 6 week detox was amazing, easy, fun, and motivating.   I do feel better and my clothes feel more comfortable.  The real bonus as stated before, is

100% more energy, sleeping better, eating better, feeling fit, mind is sharper, less stress,  more productive, and I am happier.  Why wouldn’t you do it?

Enjoy your week.  Marygrace

MY 6 WEEK DETOX DIARY AND SELF-HYPNOSIS – FOR YOUR BENEFIT (UPDATED WEEKLY – WEEK 4)

MY 6 WEEK DETOX DIARY AND SELF-HYPNOSIS – FOR YOUR BENEFIT (UPDATED WEEKLY – WEEK 4)  

Really loving it now, as I am seeing and feeling it more in my body.  I am still not pushing my yoga moves to extremes, (as I couldn’t bare the thought of a set back at this point) but still working up a sweat.  It is the same with running – not pushing myself to run faster or longer, if I don’t feel good in my body.  I am at least making sure it is a minimum of  a 20 minute jog.  

Still enjoying the detox tea and finding more and more that I don’t miss a lot of things I was in the habit of doing daily, like drinking a Starbucks Instant Latte – yuck.  It would taste like drinking 10 cubes of sugar diluted with milk.

I am changing colours on my calendar to keep it interesting and pretty, and enjoying placing my round “stars” for days I run or do additional yoga.  I am finding that breaking up my day with a run, walk or yoga is helping my shoulder loosen up when I have been typing too long.

Tips for this week for staying on track.

1. JDI – At this point I really don’t even think of not getting up first thing to do my yoga.  If I need to get up really early, I have booked yoga in my diary for when I get back.  As mentioned, I really like Yoga with Adrian (You Tube), and she has a 30 day with Adrian yoga program – and its free, so tomorrow start with her on day one!   I did go to a drop in yoga sessions to make sure I am doing the moves right.   It was helpful and I will go again before next week. 

2.  I can definitely notice that starting the day with exercise does lend itself to eating a healthier diet in general.  I wasn’t terrible, but I think more about what would be a balanced meal vs. same old, same old.  Having a lot more fruit and summer makes it easier to keep the variety interesting.

3.  Thankful for encouragement from friends and family.  I will try to start going on the weekend with a neighbour who is at my level of running, and the distraction of talking with someone will keep me going.  We will motivate each other to keep going.

4.  Listing the benefits after 4 weeks.  100% more energy, sleeping better, eating better, clothes fitting easier, body feels firmer, mind is sharper and more focused, being more productive in business and personal goals, and lastly but most importantly, I am happier in general.  This is no longer a 6 week detox, it is already become a life style detox.

5.  Final point.  When I do self hypnosis before bed or after yoga, I keep a picture in my head on how I want to feel and look after the 6 weeks.  I don’t do a count down, meaning that on week one I pictured myself in 6 weeks time, on week two, I again picture myself in 6 weeks time (not 5).  I keep projecting 6 weeks out so I keep the momentum in my head of an ongoing goal.   Lost 2 more pounds since last week!!!

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

See you next week and enjoy your week. Marygrace

My 6-week detox diary and self-hypnosis (Week 3)

Whee - look at me go!  Week 3 and full steam ahead! I have added a new "motivational" item to my calendar.  I am putting yellow stickers on the days that I run.  So much fun!

Tips for this week for staying on track.

1.  JDI - or in my case JFDI - get up and just do your morning exercises.  No excuse not to do them.  Have your exercise clothes ready to go.  If you have to be up early for whatever reason, go to be early and get up 45 mins earlier to stick to your routine.  I alternate between a You Tube video and Wii to keep it interesting and sometimes it takes a little hunting to find the right video for you.  I really like Yoga with Adrian (You Tube)!  I also am going to drop in yoga sessions to make sure I am doing the moves right now and then.

2.  When tempted to snack on something unhealthy, I literally say to myself (rather scream it to myself), think of your goal and what you want.  It is like having a built in coach there to stop you going off the grid.  Have a motto or affirmation to say to help keep you on track.

3.  Think of your fans, (real or imaginary).  If you tell people what your goal is, your success rate will be much higher.  I can't imagine sitting her typing, "gave in, having a Kabab for lunch right after a full English breakfast to start the day...and no exercise".  Seriously, your true supporters will continue to support you in your goals.

4.  Be very specific on your final goal, and the life changing steps you need to accomplish it.  This is not a diet, this is not a quick fix, this is not a summer slimmer 6 week detox.  This is a gradual way to make some changes to lifestyle patterns.  I have strong will power but for those who do not, setting a 3 - 6 month goal will really get you on track for a life style change.  Yes, you may have a set back or a bad day, but if you spend the other 5-6 days sticking to it, you will feel and look better AND have so much more energy.

Still doing self hypnosis every night.  I picture myself reaching my goal and how I will look, how I will feel and all the positive emotions that go with that success and making it a part of my new world.  It is really a wonderful and empowering feeling.

See you next week and enjoy your week.  Marygrace

My 6-week detox diary and self-hypnosis (Week 2)

Okay, day 10 and still going strong. In fact, I am getting stronger both physically and mentally. It seriously was not hard once I set my mind to it.

My motivational tips

1. Eating lots of salads (mixing it up to keep them interesting). I am also eating more fruit and nuts (almonds, pumpkin seeds and Brazil nuts). Still doing the detox tea morning, noon and evening.

2. Without fail, I do my yoga in the morning. If I have a client at 8:00am, I am starting at 6:00am or before. The great thing is that I am sleeping better now and naturally walking up earlier (with energy). I also ordered a memory foam pillow and highly recommend them for people who are constantly adjusting their pillows during the night.

3. Motivational board - see photo. I am personally motivated by writing the number of days so I can see my progress. I look forward to writing the number on my calendar and putting money into my "holiday fund - Yes I can!" pouch. I also have a list below the pouch of all the benefits I gain as a result of making a life style change.

4. I just starting jogging again. I am taking it really slow and listening to my body. I was going to start it as a run/walk exercise, but naturally got into a steady slow jog and my breath and body felt "good" so I kept it up for 20 mins - my goal. I will set this for the week.

5. BONUS side note, I naturally have taken in less sugar and, OMG, does it make a serious difference to going back to something that has a lot of sugar. Gross. I didn't actually plan this as part of my goal, but was inspired by another blog in which the individual stopped sugar as their goal and the benefits they felt as a result.

It just happened naturally that I was eating less things that had sugar. I didn't eat a lot of sweets to begin with but was still amazing that cutting out "more" would make a big difference.

Please join me in setting your life changing goal. If you have any questions, comments or would like to speak with me, please feel free to contact me on info@mghypnosis.co.uk or by calling 07931 547 414.

My 6-week detox diary and self-hypnosis (Week 1)

It is only day 3 but I wanted to inspire others to begin now, as 3 days in and I feel so much better already.

What I am doing:

1. Drinking a detox tea 3 times a day – I am using Tay Tox (Amazon). I was only an occasional coffee drinker, so coffee wasn't hard to cut out.

2. Stopped drinking alcohol. Again, this was easy to do once I set my mind to the challenge. We so often think we will miss out on “all the fun” from not drinking at parties or the pub, but, trust me, you will have just as much fun. I also focus on the overall benefits I will achieve in the end. Look better, feel better, more energy, toner and fitter, better sleep...  And THIS is what I want! I am putting the alcohol money towards a reward. In this case, it is going to be our holiday in the States.

3. Exercising daily. I have taking walks and practising yoga, and next week I will start running again. I know it is good to have an off day, but I don’t think going for a long walk or doing yoga is too strenuous not to practice every day. I am also looking into doing something else.

4. At night I do self-hypnosis and visualise how I want to look and how I want to feel 6 weeks from now. Self-hypnosis is a valuable tool to learn. Once you know what you want, this will help reinforce your commitment. Using these two techniques combined can help you achieve any goal you set yourself. You can learn self-hypnosis in just 1 session.

Those are my starting points and I look forward to sharing more.

Hope you decide to join me.

Got something weighing on your mind?

Here we go again!  Which means it is that time of year again when most of us think about losing weight.  Did you know that 95% of dieters regain the weight they have lost?  Worse than that, in the UK obesity has almost become the number one cause for premature death.  It is a fact that 25% of women and 20% of men in the UK are now classified as obese. The symptoms range from low energy levels and breathlessness to serious conditions such as high blood sugar, high cholesterol, thyroid and hormone problems, and extra strain on the heart.  

So what is the solution?  To make a permanent life style change with the help of hypnotherapy. How you think effects everything you do and you can learn new ways to use your mind that will let you change easily and comfortably.  Together we will discover the reasons behind your eating habits and use several techniques to help change that thinking once and for all.  I can help you find the motivation you need to lose weight, exercise, and feel good about yourself and your body again.  Inside and out!

How to retrain your eating habits

We were brought up with a history of eating habits passed down from generation to generation. Some of those traditions we now know are not beneficial to our bodies or minds. Having the usual Sunday roast has loads of fat-based unhealthy items; you know the ones. Fast food restaurants - we learned - have almost our whole daily calorie allowance in one meal! Bread and dairy can be a drain on how our bodies process those foods robbing us of our energy. Plus, the old "eat everything on your plate" mantra added unwanted weight to our bodies.

So if you want to eat better and lose weight, become educated and change the old though pattern. Read any current nutritional book and they will all tell you the same thing. You have heard it before but until you "do it", you will never appreciate the benefits. You will feel better, look better and lose weight from learning more about modern nutritional guidelines. You can set a new healthy eating tradition for your future generations.

If you need help with changing your thought pattern, see Marygrace at MG Hypnosis. If you need help with learning about nutrition, see Fleur Borrelli, the nutritional specialist at The Putney Clinic. If you need a personal trainer, I recommend Carrie Hogan or Martin Watkins. Email marygrace@mghypnosis.co.uk for contact details.

Get a grip on eating at the office

Here are some guidelines to help you avoid unhealthy eating in your workplace.

Ø  Deadlines are stressful and you tend to put healthy eating off altogether.  However, this is why a solid morning meal is more important than ever!  Options with protein and fiber, like oatmeal with fresh fruit and nuts, will help set you up for the day.  It keeps you full and starts your metabolism off to a good start. 

Ø  Go for a walk for 30 minutes.  It helps your energy levels increase and improve your memory. 

Ø  Skip the co-workers cakes.  Politely tell them you prefer to save it for desert and then share it with the family or friends.

Ø  Have hard candy ready when you go to office parties.  You don’t want to eat when you already have something in your mouth.  Mints are perfect as most things taste terrible after you have just had a mint, and your breath will smell nice.

Ø  If there is a buffet, visit the table only once and then stand on the opposite side of the room.

Ø  Have one indulgence a day.  We still want you to have fun.  All the rest of the cakes, biscuits, and celebrations will still be there, but you don’t need it if you know you have a special treat.

Ø  At working lunches, eat your salad first or veggies before you eat anything else, or have a simple soup first.  A personal favorite of mine is to order 2 starters instead of a starter and a main.  I’ve never left hungry.

Ø  If it’s after hour work drinks.  Go late and have a healthy snack on the way.  Have a mint before you order a drink as you will be less temped to order an alcoholic one. Drink a non-alcoholic drink between drinks if you will be there for more than one and nurse it.  Hold it in your hand so people don’t offer to keep getting you another one.

Weight control: Rules for eating healthier when you are out at lunch

It is part of everyday life to eat out a few times a week or order in.  However, this normally means we will be eating fattier foods and bigger amounts (sometimes just to meet the delivery charge minimum!).  So to help make better choices, follow these guidelines.

1.    Walk to pick up your order if you can. 

2.    Eat something healthy (i.e. an apple or celery with hummus) before you go out or order.

3.    Order lean meats and veggies and skip the items loaded with extra sauces (i.e. 1 tsp mayo = 100 calories). 

4.    Skip the deep fried foods and go for steamed or fresh like sushi.

5.    Eat mindfully!  Don’t just grab it and plunk down in front of the TV.  Pause between bites and put your fork down so you don’t just keep shoveling it in.

6.    Picture taking a bite before you actually do.  Research has show the envisioning yourself enjoying the food you crave can actually lessen the amount you consume by nearly half.

The war on weight loss still continues

At MG Hypnosis, we see clients for normally 6-8 weeks for weight loss.  We have started to get tougher with our clients as there is no point in coming to see us if you haven’t made a true commitment to change.  We will terminate the sessions if a client does not loose weight in any given week and resume only when they have.

We teach you a variety of techniques to help you reach your goal, and more importantly, maintain it!  We teach you self-hypnosis, anchoring, future visualizations, and learning to create excitement for the end result. 

Our case history is a key aspect in achieving success as it can indicate the real reasons behind the eating behavior.  Without addressing the emotional responses, progress cannot be achieved - as we always resort back to our old ways when faced with pressure or stress – which is part of our daily lives.

Once you take responsibility for your health and future, you will understand the positive knock on effect it has on the rest of your life (more energy, better health, looking and feeling better, and a sense of daily achievement!).

Weight loss and hypnotherapy

by Marygrace Anderson

It’s still one of the top 3 hottest issues for a hypnotherapist. The main reason is we cover more behind the scenes issues than just finding out what you are eating and how much you are exercising. Those are very important but it’s the long term results of a life style/life commitment that is our goal to successful weight loss. If you are going to do something, do it right. If you are going to commit to your future and your health do it right. Best advice.

Hypnosis over 30 times as effective for weight loss:
Investigated the effects of hypnosis in weight loss for 60 females, at least 20% overweight. Treatment included group hypnosis with metaphors for ego-strengthening, decision making and motivation, ideomotor exploration in individual hypnosis, and group hypnosis with maintenance suggestions. Hypnosis was more effective than a control group: an average of 17 lbs lost by the hypnosis group vs. an average of 0.5 lbs lost by the control group, on follow-up.
Cochrane, Gordon; Friesen, J. (1986). Hypnotherapy in weight loss treatment. Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 54, 489-492. 


Two years later: Hypnosis subjects continued to lose significant weight:
109 people completed a behavioral treatment for weight management either with or without the addition of hypnosis. At the end of the 9-week program, both interventions resulted in significant weight reduction. At 8-month and 2-year follow-ups, the hypnosis subjects were found to have continued to lose significant weight, while those in the behavioral-treatment-only group showed little further change.
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology (1985) 


Hypnosis subjects lost more weight than 90% of others and kept it off:
Researchers analysed 18 studies comparing a cognitive behavioral therapy such as relaxation training, guided imagery, self monitoring, or goal setting with the same therapy supplemented by hypnosis. Those who received the hypnosis lost more weight than 90 percent of those not receiving hypnosis and maintained the weight loss two years after treatment ended.
University of Connecticut, Storrs Allison DB, Faith MS. Hypnosis as an adjunct to cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy for obesity: a meta-analytic reappraisal. J Consult Clin Psychol. 1996;64(3):513-516. 


Hypnosis more than doubled average weight loss:
Study of the effect of adding hypnosis to cognitive-behavioural treatments for weight reduction, additional data were obtained from authors of two studies. Analyses indicated that the benefits of hypnosis increased substantially over time.
Kirsch, Irving (1996). Hypnotic enhancement of cognitive-behavioral weight loss treatments--Another meta-reanalysis. Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 64 (3), 517-519. 


Hypnosis showed significantly lower post-treatment weights:
Two studies compared overweight smoking and non-smoking adult women in an hypnosis-based, weight-loss program. Both achieved significant weight losses and decreases in Body Mass Index. Follow-up study replicated significant weight losses and declines in Body Mass Index. The overt aversion and hypnosis program yielded significantly lower post-treatment weights and a greater average number of pounds lost. Weight loss for women: studies of smokers and nonsmokers using hypnosis and multi-component treatments with and without overt aversion.
Johnson DL, Psychology Reprints. 1997 Jun;80(3 Pt 1):931-3. 


Hypnotherapy group with stress reduction achieved significantly more weight loss than the other two treatments:
Randomised, controlled, parallel study of two forms of hypnotherapy (directed at stress reduction or energy intake reduction), vs dietary advice alone in 60 obese patients with obstructive sleep apnoea on nasal continuous positive airway pressure treatment.
J Stradling, D Roberts, A Wilson and F Lovelock, Chest Unit, Churchill Hospital, Oxford, OX3 7LJ, UK 


Hypnosis can more than double the effects of traditional weight loss approaches:
An analysis of five weight loss studies reported in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology in 1996 showed that the "… weight loss reported in the five studies indicates that hypnosis can more than double the effects" of traditional weight loss approaches.
University of Connecticut, Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology in 1996 (Vol. 64, No. 3, pgs 517-519). 


Weight loss is greater where hypnosis is utilized:
Research into cognitive-behavioural weight loss treatments established that weight loss is greater where hypnosis is utilized. It was also established that the benefits of hypnosis increase over time.
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology (1996) 


Showed hypnosis as "an effective way to lose weight":
A study of 60 females who were at least 20% overweight and not involved in other treatment showed hypnosis is an effective way to lose weight.
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology (1986)

Got something weighing on your mind?

By Marygrace Anderson

For many people, losing weight is easier said than done, especially at this festive time of year!

Did you know that 95% of dieters regain the weight they have lost? Worse than that, in the UK obesity has almost moved into the number one cause of premature death. It is a fact that 25% of women and 20% of men in the UK are now classified as obese. The symptoms range from low energy levels and breathlessness to serious conditions such as high blood sugar, high cholesterol, thyroid and hormone problems, and extra strain on the heart.

So what is the solution? A permanent lifestyle change with the help of hypnotherapy. How you think affects everything you do and you can learn new ways to use your mind that will let you change easily and comfortably. Together, we will discover the reasons behind your eating habits and use several techniques to help change that thinking once and for all. I can help you find the motivation you need to lose weight, exercise and feel good about yourself and your body again. Inside and out!

Hypnotherapy is a treatment that uses hypnosis to alter the way you feel or change aspects of your life that need improving. Hypnosis is a perfectly natural condition, which we experience every day of our lives, like daydreaming. We drift in and out of a hypnotic state all day long without being aware of it. Under hypnosis, we are capable of making amazing changes to our thinking patterns and unlocking unlimited potential to improve and transform our lives.

All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, which means that you are in control at all times. A hypnotherapist guides and empowers the client throughout the hypnotic process. This is a focused state of relaxation, in which the subconscious mind can achieve incredible transformations for beneficial purposes.

The marvellous power generated between hypnotherapist and client working together, creates positive and therapeutic changes which can alter a person’s life permanently. We focus on the SOLUTION, not the problem.
