The old adage goes you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. That being said--I can give all the tools for wellness and positivity, but I can't make you act on them. The best hypnotist in the world cannot make someone do what they do not want to do. All of those characters in stage shows clucking like chickens and pretending to be washing machines and robots --perform because at some level they want to entertain the audience. They have not relinquished control to the hypnotist--they are still in control. When our cravings and bad habits are raging--it is because at some level they serve a purpose in our lives. Cigarettes calm the smoker, food serves to satiate those hungry for love and acceptance. That which we have adopted -is there for a reason--but those reasons can and often do change. When we no longer need to perpetuate a behavior or habit, we are free to discard it. Often willingness is not enough to overcome entrenched habits and we need help uncovering our motivations and eliminating the internal message continuing the behavior. If you do not acknowledge your own power, you are powerless to overcome your own undoing. It is common that people contact me to "fix them" to "make them change" To take control and solve the problem. The first step to change is deciding it is possible--it is taking a step in a brand new direction in uncharted territory. It is a bold step to seek change, but one that is richly rewarded when true change occurs. Life can change in an instant but nothing changes inside you, without permission. You must accept the call and honor the work to come. It will not always be easy, but it can be as easy as saying YES!
Be well...
