Put a Lid on it!

OK, I can't figure this out. I have a round plasticware container in my car, and a square lid.

And in my kitchen cabinet I have about 50 square containers of various widths, but only 2 or 3 square lids and 87 round lids!

What is going on here? I know they all had lids that fit when I purchased them and put them in the cabinet. I have even sorted through them a few times, every 6 years or so, and matched them up. So how come I can never find a lid that fits???!

What happened to the round containers that were in the cabinet? Do they sneak out at night? Do they transmute to another shape every 5 years or so? WHERE ARE THEY?!

If you have or know the whereabouts of my round containers, I will trade you the square ones.
Or we could trade lids...

They used to say there is a lid for every pot. I wonder, do they always fit properly?

Why was hypnosis invented?

This is an interesting question. There are many applications for which hypnosis is the best choice, and sleeping problems are among the first that come to mind. Because hypnosis is a natural state and we are all in hypnosis just before sleep and just after waking, it leads to sleep very quickly and easily. Many people listen to a CD or MP3 player while preparing to go to sleep.

But I don't think hypnosis was invented. How could something natural be invented? It took some time and imagination to find out how to use this receptive state for positive benefit. I think the first one to discover it was Mom. Remember Mom saying I'll kiss it and make it better? Mom was using positive intention, expectation and suggestion to take away the sting of a cut or scrape. I knew how to hypnotize others before I had a child, but when I first kissed a boo-boo, I knew mothers had been doing this for thousands of years.

So who was the first to use hypnosis? This is very hard to establish. They have found some hieroglyphics that seem to contain information about a healing method where the client lies down and the practitioner talks to them. Sounds like hypnosis to me.  But they never wrote down the conversations that mothers had with their children. So I conclude the mother of hypnosis is ... Mom!

How to Stop Procrastinating Tomorrow

Put everything possible off til tomorrow. You probably do that already!

That's the easy part.

When you wake up in the morning, jump out of bed and get dressed as quickly as possible. Run around like a crazy person and forget to eat lunch because you don't have the time. After an utterly kaotic day, resolve never to put anything off again!

Exhausted?! I am, just thinking about it!

Use self-hypnosis to be more creative, resourceful and efficient. I am holding a self-hypnosis class in early October. Call 727-946-1531 for more information.

Smokers Get No Pain Relief

Yet another reason to quit! Smoking leads to more pain, depression according to a new study by the International Association for the Study of Pain.

Yes, there is an organization called the International Association for the Study of Pain. And yes, they actually have an event called the World Congress on Pain!

The study shows that smokers suffer more pain, anxiety and depression.

Smokers are more likely to suffer from fibromyalgia, and rarely get relief unless they quit smoking!

Pain patients who smoke experience significantly more pain, depression, and anxiety than those who are nonsmokers — regardless of whether they suffer from centralized or noncentralized pain, a new study finds.  Read the full article here: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/770511?src=nl_topic

These results were presented at the International Association for the Study of Pain 14th World Congress on Pain: Basically, smoking is bad across the board — it makes your pain worse."

The study recommends that anyone who visits a doctor for pain should be instructed to quit smoking first. I recommend that you see your hypnotist to stop smoking, and then go back for a few sessions to learn how to reduce your own pain with self-hypnosis!

Is it HOT in here?!

Please let me know about YOUR hot flash! I am developing some audio sessions which will relieve menopause symptoms.

So far this is the feeling most women tell me about:

A feeling of intense heat, mostly in the chest, neck and face. It feels almost like pressure. It only lasts 30-40 seconds, but when it starts I just want to run away!  When it starts I want it to end immediately. I have no patience. I start to get anxious. I worry that it won't stop. But then I realize it's gone...

Tell me about your hot flash. Just post a comment below. I will pick a winner from the comments and send you a free audio session !

Please send all comments before September 30.

Thank you and Good Luck!
