Old Habits Die Hard…part 1

Old habits do die hard, as you know with anything new you try, you go great guns to begin with, then somehow, you go back to default!!! How did that happen?

Sometimes we can maintain new habits for a very long time, and at other times we need a bit of help. There is nothing wrong with needing some help, its the extra coaching that gets us our desired results.

The one question people ask me a lot is ‘how do I stop eating chocolate, it is like a demon that I cannot control!’ I have a few techniques, which are strengthened by using short hypnosis scripts.

I should mention at this point that they are quite safe, there is nothing intimidating about using hypnosis scripts to get your desired results.

In Part 1 we look at hypnosis downloads (that you can listen to on your ipod or computer) that if listened to several times a week, will start to shift your unconscious thought processes.

There are loads of downloadable scripts to work with, including, Stopping Emotional Eating, Eating Slowly, Drinking More Water, Comfort Eating, Weight Loss, Exercise Motivation right through to Chronic Pain Management, Fibromyalgia Pain, High Blood Pressure and Gaining Weight. There are even scripts for stopping chocolate, and of course, stopping smoking.

Salt – the word on the street is beef.

Salt is good for us, right?  Some salt, the right kind of salt, for most of us, yes, is good for us as it alkalises the blood and tissues and literally ‘turns the lights on’. We also need salt for other metabolic processing in the body…but what happens when we get too much?

That could be, because we are ingesting too much salt water (as some practitioners suggest) or getting too much on our food and in our products.

The intake of salt, is not black and white.  Just like there are mild alkalising regimes, and heavy alkalising regimes. How do you know if you actually need salt?  Simple, the body will crave it, and it will crave sugar as well.  Some people with certain metabolic blue prints will be able to handle the intake of salt, but more importantly, others will not.

The ones who cannot, may experience bloating, wind, heart palpitations, bloated eyes (underneath) and bloated limbs and joints. If so, you want to stop what you are doing immediately.  If you are taking any kind of medication, do not add extra salt.

There is a current ‘suck it and see’ promotion with salt in our community. If you try it, and if you do not experience any side effects, then you are ok, apparently. If you try it, have made the expensive purchase, and you get the side effects, then what?  Too late to return the salt, and your body needs to eliminate the excess which is often uncomfortable.

Alkalising is not a one size fits all approach, no blanket covering here.   Wouldn’t you rather know upfront if more salt is required for your exact body metabolic blueprint instead of just being told to ‘take it’ because its good for alkalising?

If you are taking salts, you just need to know that your body’s requirement for this product will shift over time as you increase your alkaline buffers.  This means that you must reduce your intake.

Of something else to note: since the strong promotion of salts started 18 months ago from Dr Young, we are now finding that clients are ‘oversalting’ themselves and causing other upsets in their body because they didn’t get their sodium levels checked.   As you could imagine these people are not happy campers.

Ingesting ‘extra salt’ in your diet really requires your accountability – you need to get proper advice from a reputable practitioner if this is a good move for your body, not because it came in an email.  It must be appropriate, for you.

What’s it got to do with beef?  Nothing, its the topic that is my beef.
