Walking is well known to help one lose weight, improve cardiovascular fitness, and feel more energetic. It’s also relaxing, but it may actually become boring and routine in time. One way to keep your walks enjoyable is to listen to walking audio tapes.

There are many different types of walking audio tapes available. The most obvious of these would be tapes of music, whether taped ourselves onto blank audio cassette tapes or pre-recorded sets of music. Either way, these tapes have the same purpose- to get the walker energized and ready to move.

Walking audio tapes featuring motivational speakers are great for people who walk as a form of exercise. Many tapes have been recorded by self help professionals to help keep people motivated and to help them overcome obstacles that prevent them from reaching their goals.

When one is walking for exercise, it is the perfect time to take a quiet moment to listen to a self improvement professional. Time spent walking affords the body valuable exercise while also providing the mind with a good setting to absorb new ideas. Walking in a beautiful area further enhances the experience.

Another valuable option for a person who walks for exercise is to use a blank audio cassette to enhance their walking experience by recording self affirmations on to the tape and listen as they exercise. Self affirmations, otherwise known as intentions, are spoken statements of what a person wants in their life. A sample intention is, “I am healthy, energized and in love with the shape of my body because of walking.” It is important to keep affirmations in the present tense.

Many self-improvement professional suffer from pre-recorded affirmations. It is commonly accepted that recording your own results in the success of the process. One will benefit better if he spends time listening to walking audio tapes which is the perfect environment to listen to self affirmations.

Listening to tapes while walking can serve a number of purposes, from entertainment to motivation to self improvement, but most importantly they should help the walker pass the time in a more enjoyable manner and ensure the person sticks with the walking workout schedule.

Benefits of walking are weight-loss/cardiovascular fitness/increased energy/relaxation. To make walking enjoyable one has to listen to walking audio tapes. The walkers can either record songs/self-affirmations onto a branded blank audio cassette tape such as tdk audio cassette or purchase pre-recorded tapes from the market. A tape recorded by self-help professional helps in motivating walkers. Alternately, one can listen to recorded self-affirmations for motivation. Self-recorded affirmation is better than professional recorded affirmation. Walking for exercise in a beautiful environment allows time to listen to the advice of a professional and space for the mind to absorb new ideas. Tapes give entertainment, motivation for walking with enjoyment.

Weight loss is the decrease of fat, bodily fluids, adipose tissues and lean mass leading to a decrease of body weight. Appetite is an urge to drink and eat for pleasure. It is significantly different from hunger, because you only feel hungry when your body doesn’t have sufficient reserves to sustain itself and consequently signals its need for nourishment.

Appetite is usually mistaken for hunger, but they are two different feelings with different causes. Hunger is a physical alert that your body needs nourishment and it would be unhealthy if you tried to fight it. Appetite, though, is mainly caused by psychological factors and does not answer a physiological need.

Indeed, when stimulated, the mouth is a source of pleasure and comfort, which explains why some people enjoy chewing gum for instance. It is the same reason that might explain why people enjoy having a cigarette in their mouths, or why they can have the impression of being hungry without actually needing food.

This pleasure and comfort may be unconsciously sought after by the mind when facing a stressful situation, which is why anxiety and stress can often cause the desire to eat. Our mind also usually unconsciously associates two actions together, so that each time you do one of those actions your mind creates the desire to do the other at the same time. This is why you might feel the desire to eat when around friends, sitting at a table or when watching television. Weight gain is also a common side effect of several medications.

Even a little appetite issue may be seriously disabling and a possible risk for you health. It cannot only make you gradually more anxious about your physical appearance, but it may also threaten your health in the long run. Excessive appetite can be responsible for obesity, respiratory difficulties, high blood pressure, musculoskeletal problems, and cholesterol as well as potentially lethal conditions such as cancer, diabetes and gallbladder disease.

Having control over your appetite would allow you to easily get significantly healthier and get back in shape. You would not have to constantly worry about keeping a diet anymore, nor about the nutritional properties of your food. You will be able to eat what you want, when you want to.

Several different drugs claiming to help control appetite or lose weight have been sold on the market over the last few years. A lot of those miracle drugs will at best solely have a placebo effect. Others have had better results but sometimes were banned from the market because of their dangerous side effects. Most of those pills have a chemical structure similar to that of amphetamines and present analogous adverse effects. There are nonetheless natural ways of achieving weight loss which, do not present any adverse effects, such as weight loss through hypnotherapy.

Many people will tell you that solely diet or exercise are effective ways of losing weight. This is true to a certain extent, nonetheless it is hardly possible for an active individual to keep a diet or find the time to exercise and it is even harder to find the necessary motivation. Furthermore, neither dieting nor exercise will fight the psychological factors that increase appetite. This means they won’t reduce your appetite, and that you will have to endure this desire to eat all the time, without being able to satisfy it.

This is why weight loss hypnosis has seduced a lot of people trying to lose weight. Weight loss through hypnosis works on the unconscious level of your mind and will help you greatly reduce your appetite. But hypnotherapy weight loss can also give you the motivation you need to go out and exercise. Through suggestion, weight loss hypnosis will help you find this motivation quickly and simply!

Weight loss hypnosis allows you to diminish your appetite in order to lose weight.

There are 3 distinct factors to the addiction to smoking cigarettes. Two of the components are mental/emotional, and one part is physical.

Part A: YOU SMOKE FOR RELAXATION AND PLEASURE.

When you were an infant and you got cranky, your mother would put a bottle into your mouth to distract you from that upset. You would get distracted, become calm, and often go to asleep. That scenario was repeated thousands of times so that your unconscious mind was programmed: When something goes into your mouth, you get relaxation and pleasure from it.

Now that you are mature, if you feel tense or anxious, you crave something in your mouth for relaxation and pleasure - a cigarette!

Part B: SMOKING IS A CONDITIONED RESPONSE.

Remember Pavlov? He rang a bell every time that he fed his dogs. After a few repetitions, he could just ring the bell, and that would make the dogs salivate.

When you associate smoking with any other activity, the other activity will trigger cravings for a cigarette and a urge to light up. This is called a conditioned response.

For example: If you light-up when you watch a movie, you will automatically get an urge to smoke a cigarette each time you go to the movies.

Here is exactly how this conditioned response gets programmed into your unconscious: If a person smokes a cigarette and simultaneously drinks a cup of coffee, the mind takes a picture of the cigarette in the hand, and links it to the cup of coffee. Thereafter, every time the person sees a cup of coffee, the unconscious mind fills in the missing part of the picture. It flashes an image of a cigarette, and the smoker gets a craving for a cigarette.

You may not be consciously aware of the mental movie of the cigarette, because it may only be at the unconscious level of mind. Just as you are not consciously aware of what you are seeing through your peripheral vision until someone draws your attention to it. But the image is there, creating a craving for a cigarette.

Part C: THERE IS A PHYSICAL ADDICTION TO NICOTINE, BUT . . .

I have had the experience of working with several thousand people for smoke cessation and I guarantee you that the physical addiction to tobacco is the weakest part of the smoking habit. In fact, I believe that it is only ten percent of the addiction. The strongest parts of the addiction are the mental and emotional parts! (Parts A and B).

HERE IS WHAT THIS MEANS TO A SMOKER WHO WANTS TO QUIT.

What this means is that as soon as you eliminate the feeling of tension that pushes you to put cigarettes into your mouth for relaxation and pleasure (Part A) . . . and if you can extinguish the conditioned response of feeling compulsions for cigarettes when having a cup of coffee, driving, or finishing a meal, etc. (Part B) . . . then you can break the addiction to tobacco without requiring willpower, and without experiencing withdrawal symptoms or weight-gain.

Self-hypnosis will make it easy to break the addiction to tobacco because it takes care of Parts A & B! Here is how:

Part A is where smokers light-up for relaxation and pleasure. It’s our thoughts that create feelings of stress. More specifically, people invariably create mental movies in their mind’s eye. If the movie is negative, it brings on a feeling of tension. We can use different NLP and Hypnosis methods to train the subconscious mind to instantly take those anxiety producing mental images, and instantly exchange them for relaxation producing mental pictures and movies. This creates relaxation and pleasure, and eliminates the anxiety that creates the oral compulsions and cravings for cigarettes.

Because of the elimination of stress, the smoker who is quitting does not experience the compulsion or need to substitute food in place of the cigarettes. So quitting without weight gain is possible.

Part B is where smokers light-up because smoking becomes a conditioned response to many different activities and locations. Remember in the earlier example how smoking became unconsciously associated with other activities and environments so that each time smokers get into that activity or environment, the mind flashes an image of a cigarette, and the image of the cigarette triggers an urge to smoke?

There are efficient and powerful NLP techniques that can effectively eliminate those conditioned responses so that a smoker’s subconscious mind will lose the cravings for cigarettes, and the compulsion to smoke. As a matter of fact, you can even get a compulsion to reject the cigarettes.

IN SUMMATION

To summarize, when we utilize certain hypnotic and NLP techniques, it becomes very easy to quit smoking without weight gain or having to suffer from withdrawal. And many of these techniques do not even require post-hypnotic suggestions. They depend on training the subconscious mind to use the same mental processes that the unconscious mind is using to create the smoking habit, to eliminate the mental addiction.
