I Just Don't Think I'm Strong Enough

Never does a client come into me as a hypnotherapist saying, "I feel completely strong enough to make change in my life."

In fact, the thought is inherently that he or she is not strong enough to make change on his or her own volition. I usually congratulate the person for letting someone (me) help them to change. Not everyone has it within his/her own DNA or mental history to create major change. In fact, most of us have lived fairly comfortable lives. I don't know many people who have had to starve or beg or live from their parent's car. I know a couple of those people. Those people tend to have priorities set in a deep way. When there is need to change, adaptation happens, they step up to the plate quickly.

But within most of us, who have led fairly pampered lives, tends to live a spoiled little kid who doesn't want to give up anything, especially something he or she has worked hard for, even if it's simply the right to do something, such as be old enough to smoke or drink.

This "part" of us is the part that needs to be encouraged to eat the salad rather than the baked macaroni and cheese, to chew the sugar free gum instead of the snuff, and light up with a smile instead of a cigarette.

My advice today is to seek help to make the big steps of change. Sometimes it takes many tries to create considerable change. Let this be the first day of your effort. Let yourself move forward with your dreams without looking back.

    I appreciate the encouragement on a night that I needed it. I see the little girl within me that is stomping her foot and wants her way. It is so hard for me to tell her "no". She begs and pleads until I put her in timeout (turn my attention elsewhere). That works for a while but she is persistent because I haven't told her "no" often enough. Some days she is quiet and never makes a sound but tonight she is screaming at me. If screaming doesn't work she tries whining. I hate whining. I think I will try bouncing on the exercise ball for a while - she really hates that. Again, your encouragement is so timely. Thank you.

      I like that you are persistent to that voice. You must be, otherwise, that little child gets her way and she take over the household. You know you don't want that.

Forced to write out just do not see. PS: if the spelling is not correct that, too, sorry, I'm 13 years old only.
