We all know that keeping our body moving through exercise, increasing strength, breathing deeply, and eating healthy not only will help us lose weight but, more importantly, keep your body at it’s Optimal Health. Many people are unaware of Subconscious Factors that are blocking their progress without their Conscious Knowledge, no matter how hard they try to exercise and eat well consistently they may find it difficult to keep up their momentum or even get started. Your Subconscious Mind may believe very strongly that these limiting behaviors serve an essential purpose – that they are important “tools” for helping you to function in some way. And if a part of you believes the overweight or associated behaviors are necessary, you are much less likely to change them for long. Acknowledging that these beliefs exist is half the battle, through Hypnosis you can be freed from these Unconscious Barriers.
