Hypnosis for Permanent Weight Loss

169 - Vision Boards & Desires

Hitting a goal is not without struggles. When left alone with no one to make us accountable for our actions is challenging. And all the more, it isn't easy to make things happen when what we do is not in alignment with our authentic selves. Vision boarding is like having a Northstar and a regular reminder of how close we are to achieving our goals.

To help us with the tools to be in resonance with our core being and make things less complicated and overwhelming, Hypnosis for permanent weight loss can help with that. With it, we act on our desires and make things happen as we step out of our fears, that are often what's holding us back.

"And the way that we actually get a belief to stay in the subconscious is through repetition, visualizing, and emotionalizing it." - Leslie Thornton

What you'll learn from this episode:

01:23 - The power in vision boarding

02:30 - Reading one meaningful quote about desires

03:23 - Acting on those desires and making them happen [plus, why we need to be careful sharing our desires with anyone]

Ep 168 - Creating A Life In Alignment With Authentic Self

We know of many who get stuck in the life they live, be it a relationship, career, or lifestyle. The reason may be is for validation and external approval. Or maybe, as most often is the answer, lack of choice. For most of their lives, that's their source of comfort and security. But deep down inside, there is something else they love to do.

Whether one admits it or not, the unhappiness they feel within, it's as if, it's eating them alive. And that affects the way they see things and even their very own selves.

We don't realize it, but most often, there is the ego that gets in the way of truly embracing our true selves and what we truly want in life. We have so many concerns in life. And it's normal to feel that way, but sometimes those fears prevent us from getting to a safer and more peaceful life on the other side.

We don't trust ourselves when it comes to food decisions. We're uncomfortable around food, which is understandable, as most of us are made to believe in a diet mentality.

But we need to see that the only way to freedom and lasting happiness is to face that fear, take action, and love ourselves enough to do what our authentic selves desire.

Chelsea Turgeon is host of The Life After Medicine Podcast, a bestselling author of Residency Drop Out, a career Coach who helps healthcare professionals recover from burnout and find career fulfillment.

In this episode, let's listen to Chelsea as she shares with us how she spent years training to be a doctor, but once she started working in the hospital, she realized she did not enjoy or connect to the work. She had so much dread of waking up and going into the hospital each day. She had this overwhelming gut feeling that medicine wasn't the right path for her. During her 2nd year of residency, she listened to her gut, quit her residency program and moved to South Korea to travel, teach English, and explore her true passions.

Now 2 years later, she's built up a successful online coaching business she loves that gives her the freedom and flexibility to travel the world. She also feels a deep sense of fulfillment and satisfaction that this is the work she's meant to be doing.

A story that encourages us to follow what we want in life. We only need to listen and follow what our authentic design in this life is calling us to do. That's where true freedom and happiness can be found.

"Honor your discontent; don't gaslight yourself if you're unhappy . That matters; there is something there. Just listen to yourself" - Chelsea Turgeon

Scarcity Mindset to Abundance

The pursuit of abundance is an internal process. What we see outside reflects what is happening inside. A sense of peace and happiness isn't limited to material things, but could be represented by successful relationships. Scarcity mindsets are our bodies' way of signaling that something isn't going well and isn't aligned with us. What can we do about it?

The moment we sense something is not right, we often feel emotional. We end up obsessing about food and alcohol or whatever makes us forget that nagging feeling inside. When that is not taken care of, we end up in a vicious cycle of hurting ourselves.

What helps us live in a consistent state of abundance needs a mastery that tackles within, especially our emotions. And if something is worth keeping, it should necessitate hard work and facing your fears. And Hypnosis for permanent weight loss helps set you up on this journey. Once you start taking action, you are on your way to lasting freedom and peace.

"Oftentimes, we think that when the anxiety is there, it's like you become your emotion. But it's just a part of you fighting for your survival. And it's petrifying, but it's not who you are. It's not who you are at all. Who you are is abundance; who you are, is endless possibilities; who you are, is universal consciousness." - Leslie Thornton

What you'll learn from this episode:

01:06 - Shedding yourself out of the 'not enough' mindset

05:46 - Tips on wiring yourself to an abundance mindset [experience live coaching from Leslie]

09:56 - What those thoughts of anxiety make us feel about it, and how to let it go and get it done with

11:52 - Hitting that point of neutrality

12:57 - The number one way to get out of scarcity [...it's not trying to get out of it]

Want to lose weight this year? That's one good resolution to have. Just be careful when having that resolve to do that -- that it's coming from an empowered choice to make a lasting change and not just from a place of anxiety and fear.

If your wanting to lose weight is equated with confidence, inner peace, and finding better relationships, then you're in for something temporary. Never think of losing weight to change your emotional state. That's not to say it won't work; it often does, but for how long?

In the beginning, you have all the discipline you can have to stay focused on the goal, but you will likely fall off track after some time. What happens, then? Will it not make you hate yourself for that, get desperate and forget about it, and go back to the same cycle again?

There is always a long-term solution for that. It takes action from you and a bit of pain[that's how things are when you want life-changing transformations]. But that will equip you with emotional mastery tools so that whatever happens, you know how to handle those emotions and not send things spiraling out of control. That's how Hypnosis for permanent weight loss works.

"Whatever New Year's resolution that you make for yourself is fantastic. And you should go after it. When you want to set yourself up for the most success and achieve, we got to make sure that we are being mindful and creating conscientious New Year's resolutions for ourselves." - Leslie Thornton

What you'll learn from this episode:

01:06 - Be mindful of creating conscientious new year's resolution

06:12 - What you can do to set yourself up for success [New Year's Resolution]

15:00 - What your relationship with food and your diet shows you

16:53 - Focusing on your inner work and YOU [ learning about self-love]

19:30 - Weight loss is never a critical goal [...it's about being the best version of yourself and living up to your best potential]

What often happens is we focus more on what's missing; we fill our life with endless worries that are eating up our energy and getting us scared, resulting in us not thinking and doing exactly what we're supposed to do.

And what also ends up happening is that once we let fear sets in, that extends to all areas of life. Now that we're at this time again of all those promises we want to make to ourselves, we need to realize that before we even begin to enumerate our new year's resolution, let's fix our mindset of positive thinking.

The only thing getting in the way of achieving our goals, living healthier, and getting healed from our disease is our negative perspective on life. If we only learn how to master positive thinking, we can always overcome whatever struggles we're faced with.

As our guests in this podcast have proven, only their positive mindset let them end up on the other side of the road, overcoming their diseases, continuing to live in faith and trust, and choosing to be happy and fearless amidst the uncertainty of life. And for many of them, it never failed them.

"The reason why this is the only one that matters is that once you master positive thinking it can be applied to anything you want in your life -- a better body, a better partner or relationship, a better career, or a better financial situation." - Leslie Thornton

What you'll learn from this episode:

01:06 - What's the only New Year's Resolution you should focus on?

06:02 - Creating a more connected life with yourself and with loved ones

09:48 - YouTube channels you should check out and podcast guests you should watch out for

11:07 - " It's how in the now you can get yourself to be."

13:38 - How that trauma energy causes that disease in your body [plus learning how to sit with and be with the negative emotions that you feel]

15:28 - How mastering positive thinking brightens every aspect of your life

17:52 - Leslie giving free Hypnosis coaching

19:14 - Important piece of wisdom she got from her grandma [ and what it all leads to: Your ultimate health and success]

As painful as it is, we need to face what life throws at us. We've got no better choice because the more we try to hide in things masquerading as our allies the more we are dragged into the pit of darkness. And without us knowing, it's manifesting in ways that slowly suck the life and energy out of us leaving us in a mess.

One's journey to permanent weight loss is never easy. What with all the triggers we have to deal with, which are brought about by all the pain and trauma of the past that we're not aware of. Added to the fact that our personal lives are not in tuned to what our authentic being is. Once this is not addressed we will just be circling back to where we have been, in a state of despair.

Weight loss is not all about avoiding food and drowning yourself in massive exercise. It's all about inner work. It's our emotions we are dealing with here. What triggers food obsession is emotional in nature and that's what we need to master. And we need the help of emotional mastery tools to be in alignment with what we truly want for ourselves and not just what our emotions dictate.

Alcohol was Heather Nickel's coping mechanism. She was invincible, the life of the party, sexy, funny, the dancing queen, and the sociable extrovert. She needed alcohol to get more energy, sleep better, entertain herself, and when problems arose, it kept them under the surface. It was her magic potion. And that started a story of her health, mental, financial and marital struggles.

But her need for change, the training she received, and her decades-long study of self-development were the perfect equation to set her free from the shackles that alcohol had on her life. Her formula that set her free is now called the Sober Effect Rx. In her coaching practice, she has been helping women transform their lives for years. She has combined her two passions, sobriety, and coaching, and now specializes in helping women pour their magic potion down the drain.

In this episode, Heather shares how mindset work saves her from the unthinkable life struggles and trials she endured decades back and in recent years. From hiding in the company of wine and alcohol which she thought to be her savior from all those pain and hurts to now being a woman rooted in faith and trust that no matter what happens everything will turn out well. And that's coming from someone who has undergone one enormous challenge after another as if she's the only one tasked to bear them all.

"You can do all the work. But if you don't do the final thing, which is taking action, you'll be stuck in that loop of just journaling and thinking and thinking and thinking. And action is the key that grounds you, roots you, anchors you, and convinces you that the mindset work you've been doing is real." - Heather Nickel

02:20 - Facing health issues in the early years of her adult life, a troubled marriage, major struggles in the family happening all at once

You may be wondering what goes into the preparation of each podcast episode that Leslie does. Well then, she is sharing that with you today.

• First off, as the projector that she is, studying human design, she loves listening to transformational materials, including her own studies of Neuro Linguistics Programming and other people's breakthroughs.
• Her team also sends her ideas of their own, having gone through the Hypnosis program themselves.
• She also considers her clients and what message they want to be delivered and discussed.

Post-production-wise, her team takes care of everything. She only records, that's it. The team edits, writes show notes, and ensures it goes out to you. This time, twice a week now.

Leslie has only the best intention for everyone. She wants to emphasize that losing weight is not her podcast's primary purpose. She, however, wants that to happen. But more than that, her concern is about everyone living their healthiest and happiest lives where all aspects of one's life work together and create a purpose-filled and meaningful life.

Let's join Leslie now as she talks about what goes on in each episode she records and how she wants people to know the endless possibilities of greatness awaiting when you heal your inner world with the help of Hypnosis.

Discovering and uncovering those parts that need complete healing. And coming out of the other side, walking on the road to freedom and happiness.
