Stress Has a Direct Impact On Your Weight
Stress affects many facets of health, including weight control. Chronic or excessive stress sets off a series of physiological reactions in the body that can either help or hinder attempts to lose weight.
The production of hormones such as cortisol by the body’s stress response system is a significant way stress impacts weight. Although cortisol is essential for “fight or flight” scenarios, prolonged stress can cause cortisol levels to rise on a regular basis. This can lead to an increase in appetite, especially for comfort foods high in calories, and encourage the storage of fat, especially in the abdominal region—a condition known as “stress eating.”
Stress Interfering With Sleep & Causing Weight Gain
Stress can interfere with sleep, which is an essential element in maintaining a healthy weight. In addition to having an negative effect on hormone balance, which raises hunger and cravings, getting too little sleep lowers motivation and energy, which makes it more difficult to maintain a healthy diet and engage throughout the day.
People who are under a lot of stress on a regular basis also can turn to unhealthy coping strategies like emotional eating or sedentary lifestyles, which exacerbates weight problems.
How Hypnosis Helps You Lower Stress & Lose Weight
Hypnosis helps reset how you process your world to give you a way to handle how you feel. Hypnosis works directly with the subconscious mind which is the automated part of the mind that responds to situations without logically thinking about it first. We give what does not feel good a ‘way out’ and most importantly: replace negative emotions with positive ones that cause you to respond differently as you move throughout your day.
Hypnosis can help reframe negative thought patterns, heal emotional wounds, and enhance self-confidence. Hypnosis provides a safe and supportive environment for exploring and transforming and creating change to increase your health and well-being
Hypnosis is a powerful tool that helps your mind process stress in a new way so you are healthier and feeling more peaceful no matter what the world sends your way.
