The doctors, the dietitians, the nutritionists, the fitness books all say “eating right and exercising more is the key to losing weight.” So why isn’t it that easy? Through my experience as a certified hypnotherapist, I have found that the main reason why the diets and fitness fads have not helped you to create permanent weight loss changes is because you have not truly made a lifestyle change.

In order to make a change in one’s daily behaviors, a change needs to be made in one’s perceptions and beliefs. Those perceptions and beliefs, include beliefs about your body image, self worth, and also the beliefs and perceptions about your relationship with food. The beliefs and perceptions related to the behaviors that are keeping you heavy can also be connected to a number of other issues: stress, anxiety, how you react to people, places and events around you, as well as fears and phobias. Certainly, if what you have been doing isn’t working for you then it is time to change what you are doing. If you do what you’ve always done you will get what you’ve always got. That is exactly what happens when behaviors haven’t been changed on the fundamental perceptual and belief level.

Through hypnosis anyone can make changes in their subconscious perceptions and beliefs. As a result, changes will take place in the thought process as well. Why do this? Because, “if you think what you’ve always thought then you get what you’ve always got”. Thoughts precede behaviors.

You’ve had your Xbox 360 for years, and you’re convinced that it’s the pinnacle of gaming excellence. The problem is you’ve finally gotten that dreaded red ring of death. What are your options?

The first option might be to go all out and buy a brand new xbox. After all, the prices have dropped, and it’s only $299 for a brand new Xbox. One of the best benefits of the new Xbox 360’s is the HDMI output, the older versions only had the HD Component cables which pretty much eliminates its coexistence with your cable box, so that you’re forced to decide between killing your friends in Halo 3 in high definition, or watching the Jaguars whoop up on the Titans in HD.

Also the newer versions of the Xbox 360’s are coming out with larger hard drives. In fact the new version of the Xbox Basic that sells for $299 has a 60GB hard drive. That in and of itself is a good reason to “upgrade”.

Another thing to consider about buying a new Xbox 360 is that they have redesigned some of the internal problems so that the newer versions “shouldn’t” overheat any longer. We’ll see if that ends up being the case.

A second option might be to try to fix the 360 yourself. There are ebooks and video tutorials on how to fix the problem yourself. Of course if you don’t have any experience in electronics then you most likely should not undertake to fix the problem yourself. However with multiple message boards and forums dealing specifically with this issue, you should be able to get going.
