We are living in a really rough time right now. Gas prices are high, the price of food keeps going up, people are losing their homes to foreclosures; families who once had enough are now struggling to make it in the world now. The economy has been getting worse and worse and it feels like things just won’t get better. In time they do, but for many people later may be too late.

A friend of mine recently lost his home to foreclosure. He had a small little 900 sq ft home where he lived with his wife and son. As the price of gas, food and everything else went up he saw less and less money in his pocket. My friend had a job as did his wife, but neither one of the jobs paid a lot and to be honest they lived paycheck to paycheck. Even though they lived paycheck to paycheck they found a way to make it as most people do. The problem was that money was staying the same, but prices kept rising and to top it off my friend has never been very good with money.

He would take his wife out to eat once in a while or buy something for his son or himself. It seemed like money was never there, but he would tell himself he would make it up somehow. We have all been through this situation before. We wanted something and spend the money telling ourselves it would be okay. Justifying it to ourselves to make it okay to buy something when in reality we can’t afford the thing we want to buy. It was hard, but my friend was able to make up the money. Well, he was able to until things started to get bad.

My friend got laid off from his job along with 43 other people. The company couldn’t afford as much staff now as they had to pay a lot for gas and other expenses. My friend called me up and was really upset, which I understand because I was once in his shoes. I had a great job once until I was let guy as well. So I could understand what was going on in his mind. My friend was worried for his family first and last himself. His wife and him had no money saved up and he got laid off at the worst time of the month. The 1st went most of the bills we’re due.

Due to being laid off he had to search for work fast as he had to pay the bills and most importantly the house note. His wife was still working, but it’s not easy to pay the bills with only one income. My friend found work eventually, but because this was the only job he could fine he took it. My friend was once the manager of the company that let him guy, but now he had to settle for working as a cook in a local bar and grill here in Columbus, Georgia.

He was okay with it to a degree because in rough times we must do what we do to make it and keep going. The problem with this new job is it didn’t pay enough. It was almost 50% less than what he was making before. He was able to start paying bills, but he wasn’t able to pay everything. A late fee here, a late fee there and before you know it credit card companies we’re calling him non stop. It doesn’t take long for the calls to start.

To make a long story short my friend got behind on his mortgage. He was paying them, but he was always a little short. He tried to look for a 2nd job, but no one is really trying to hire people right now here in Columbus. The bills kept piling up and not enough money to cover them. Eventually he found a 2nd job as did his wife and their situation got a little bit better, but the fees added up and now their monthly payments on everything were much higher. Maybe if they had a better budget or maybe if they cut back on something they could have made it. My friend called me to dinner a while back and said he wanted to pay my way. I knew his situation as he told me all about it so I didn’t want him to pay and told him I could cover my own way.

See, in the past he could spend a little more than he had because he knew he could come up with it somehow, but things have changed. Prices have gone up, they are behind on bills, monthly payments and interest rising. You may be able to spend a little more than your income allows, but what happens when you can’t make up the $40.00 you spent on dinner and a movie? I see this all the time in my work as a Hypnotist and an Investor. Bad money habits can destroy you over time if you’re not carefully.

Well, some months went by and the house of cards started to fall. They had some financial setbacks with the car and rising prices caught up with them. They got behind on their mortgage and waited to long to ask for help. It wasn’t one thing that hurt my friend. It was the build up of bad money habits, tough times, bad breaks and etc. The truth of the matter is this can happen to any of us at any time. We go home, kiss our wife, be with our family and think it can’t happen to us. It can happen to us and it’s happening to people JUST LIKE YOU all over the United States.

I offered my friend advice on his real estate situation, but like any proud man he turned me down telling me he would find a solution. Well a solution was found, but not the one he wanted. My friend lost his home to foreclosure. Increased monthly payments, interest rates, bad money habits, bad accounting and bad breaks led to my friend losing his home. His wife, child and him with no where to go. They moved in with his mom for now and are working on trying to rebuild their life. I tried to let him know people get over foreclosures and move on with their life. Life is more than a house and he just has to get back on his feet. He is still working as his wife is as well and they are saving to get an apartment. It’s sad what is happening to them, but this story isn’t unique and it’s happening everywhere. I know things will be okay for them and I wish him the best.

Now, most of you are wondering what this story has to do with Hypnosis. I felt it was important to tell the story of my friend, who is a real person in case you are wondering. The story of my friend shows us how important it is to manage our money. In my friend case it was a mixture of bad habits and bad luck. I wonder to this day if my friend had better habits would he still have his home? Heck, would thousands of hard working people still have their homes?

I’m not a physic so I can’t see the future, but I can guess that most people would be better off if they had better financial management. People would be better off if their money habits were not the way they were. So this brings me to the question I ask in the title. Can Hypnosis improve your financial situation? The simple answer is yes it can.

Okay, I know most of you are saying how in the hell can hypnosis help you out during these financially tough times. Can it make you rich? I highly doubt it as far as instant wealth or helping you to predict the lottery numbers as some hypnotist might tell you. Hypnosis isn’t magic so it can’t make you a millionaire overnight. Can hypnosis make people do your bidding so everything in life is easier? I’m sorry it can’t help you in that area as well. You are shaking your head and saying if hypnosis can’t make me rich than what can it do and how can it improve your financial situation?

Let me explain for all of you who are still reading. Hypnosis isn’t magic and it isn’t a fix all or cure all for everything. Hypnosis is a powerful tool for change and it has been proven in many clinical studies to have helped people with all types of situations. How? Hypnosis is a natural ability we all process. All hypnosis is self hypnosis as its something you process from birth. We, as hypnotist just show you how to tap into it and use it. Hypnosis allows us to bypass that critical part of us, that part that analyzes everything. It allows us to get direct access to our sub conscious mind. The part of us where habits, emotions and all the things of our past are stored. It’s where everything you have ever been through or experienced is stored and all that stuff put together makes you who you are today.

Hypnosis basically allows us to install new programming or new software into your sub conscious mind as long as you find the new ideas or beliefs acceptable. You will never do anything against your will while in hypnosis and you can reject any suggestions you don’t like. Well, if the sub conscious mind houses our habits and behaviors and hypnosis allows us to modify those habits, than you should see where I’m going with all of this.

Hypnosis allows us when the person is motivated to change bypass that judgmental part of them and change the negative habits. So, let’s say you are bad with money or you have bad habits such as spending too much or not balancing your checkbook or being lazy when it comes to paying bills. Hypnosis can change those habits and modify them to fit what you want your outcome to be. Of course, you have to want to make the change as this is the key, but since hypnosis is a heighten state of suggestibility than suggestions become powerful when giving to you.

You can actually alter your habits to where you enjoy paying your bills. You start paying better attention to your money and how you spend it. It’s not magic; it’s just how our brains work. Imagine; go ahead imagine what it would be like to take control of your financial situation. To know you are saving money and not wasting it due to bad habits. No one wants to have bad habits. We learn these habits over time from experiences and the people we associate with in our lives. Hypnosis can change this for people, but the problem is most people don’t know it.

The reason hypnosis works so well with smoking is because smoking is a habit. Hypnosis changes the way you associate things to that habit. For instance, people get used to going out to eat or the movies. It becomes a habit for them and before you know it the power bill money is gone. Habits can be changed because just as they were learned they can also be unlearned. People always say to me they can’t afford sessions or they don’t have the time and I sat to them, what if you had the time and what if you knew you could save $500 a year or a $1000 a year just by changing the way your view money and by changing your habits?

As a real estate investor I see families come and go. Sometimes they leave on their own and other times I have to evict them for non payment. The number one reason for this is bad financial habits. I’m not perfect either and I have problems as well. But through the use of self hypnosis I have seen really amazing changed within my spending habits and in my bank account. I view money in a different way as some of the people I have worked with in the past have claimed as well. Also, besides helping you change your money habits hypnosis helps you to relax, take notice and focus on the things you really want out of live. Hypnosis is a powerful tool for motivation, personal development and self change.

All I want from this article is for people out there to realize they have the potential for change. They have the ability to make the difference. We as humans have great potential, but we must admit we need help if we are to receive that help. The elections are coming up and no matter whom you choose for president things will get worse before they get better. The question you have to ask yourself right now is do they have to get worse for me or can I change that RIGHT NOW!

Hypnosis can help you make many rapid changes to your life, but the decision has to be yours in the end. You have to want to make the right financial decisions. So in closing I want you to thing about this. If hypnosis can help you change your financial habits and all hypnosis is self hypnosis than in the end who is really making the change? Is it the hypnosis or is it you? I hope this article has shed a little light on How Hypnosis can improve your Financial Situation.
