Overcoming Temptations
The Seed Technique
What is Happiness? Some might say a new iPad2. Others a good family life. Some good health. Or all of the above. People trying to lose weight might say it is when they no longer are tempted to eat junk food and overeat and start losing weight and it's fun and easy.Part of being happy is to be without the temptations. That is what we are working on now.
THE SEED TECHNIQUE
Say peace self hypnosis
My shoulders, arms and hands are at peace.
My chest and stomach are at peace.
My back is at peace.
Visualize your inner mind as a garden and you are the gardener. Put your goal, its benefits, your hopes into seeds and plant them in your inner mind garden. You are the gardener of your inner mind. You need to tend to this garden throughout your day.
EXERCISE
Use the seed technique when you are tempted and at other times during your day. Perhaps while waiting in line at the bank. While walking to your car. Before your eat. When you wake up. Taking a 10second break. Anytime Anywhere.
Thanks

Background
How the Inner Mind Thinks: The inner mind lacks critical thinking. This means it can not tell what is true or false. It can easily accept ideas and beliefs that are false. Such as "I can't lose weight" when it can be done.
The inner mind is made up up positive and negative (painful) memories, emotions, habits etc. built up over a lifetime. In a specific area if the ++++'s are stronger, they will send you strength, peace, confidence, answers, ideas, inspiration.
If the ------'s are stronger they will bring doubts, tiredness, desires, confusion "I want" anger, bad memories. Nobody wants this. What are these negatives and where did they come from? Past failures, stress, anger, work, family, health issues and childhood experiences are a few.
The Inner Mind can be our enemy or our partner. The conscious mind needs to learn how it works and how to use self hypnosis so it will be our partner. Self hypnosis is advanced willpower.
