Some People Will Try Anything!
There's a radio advertisement going around on the local stations right now. The ad tries to get people to sign up for a hypnosis seminar that's coming soon to a local venue, and the focus of hypnosis is on either stopping smoking or losing weight.
Focus of hypnosis - sound kinda poetic, don't you think?
Results are guaranteed!
I don't smoke, but I am overweight. I"m not one to go the hypnosis route though. Mostly because I've never had the opportunity to try it. The other reason is that I don't want to pay to try it, either.
It got me wondering, maybe I could be hypnotized to focus more on working on my blog, doing the training, and cutting out distractions that keep me from my business.
Can hypnosis be a substitute for will power? Can I be hypnotized into coming up with good content when I am out of ideas?
I wonder.
Sounds too good to be true. I've heard that you can't be hypnotized into doing something you don't want to do in the first place.
What do you guys think? Fire off a comment and let me know.
You are getting sleepy....
I'm Grant.

Good Morning Grant,
As with all thing in life, there is good and bad. This can be applied to hypnosis as well. It depends who does it. Therefore do not throw the idea out of the window yet as one has to know the people involved in this seminar.
Without hypnosis one can also get great results with: No sugar, no man-made foods, and no fast foods or Sodas try that and see what happens. If you are capable of doing that for 1 month we will talk again.

Thanks for the advice. I subscribe to the theory that to lose weight you need to burn more calories than you take in. Simple as that. I haven’t been to the south of Spain but I’ve been to Barcelona.
But Grant, the calories from sugar do not have the same effect on your body as the same amount of calories from broccoli.
Barcelona is nice but here it is warmer.

A hypnosis seminar sounds real scary to me, Grant.
I rely on my Will Power. It's never let me down yet!!
An interesting read. Thanks :)
You're welcome, and thanks for checking in. I agree with you. How can you know what the hypnotist is really doing while you are "under"? Leave my subconscious alone!
I think Lauren, has a better and answer for you. Hypnosis scary's me. I like to be in full control of all my facilities. As far as losing weight, as I am famous for saying, check with your doctor first. Then I generally suggest a high lean protein diet with a healthy low fat carb.

HI, Sandy. I'm not planning on getting hypnotized. I just thought it would be interesting to make the connection from smoking and weight loss to running a blog business. Food for thought, if you know what I mean. :-)
Haha Grant. You are getting sleepy was a nice touch. I believe hypnosis can be an amazing tool...
However I think in this case wouldn't it be a lot more fun to just brainstorm ideas?
I find mind mapping works well for me. And browsing Pinterest always gives me loads of ideas.
Buzz Sumo works well too I've heard though I've never quite got the hang of it.
Or you could use a technique that's worked for me - how about a round-up post of the top Bloggers in your niche?
Or you could interview someone you admire and respect, an Authority in your field.
Hopefully you'll be so inspired and juiced up after all of this that you find ideas will start flowing again.
All the best to you.
Thanks for the good, comprehensive comment. Good information. I’ll be using some of your ideas.

I think it can be valid, Grant. It's all about controlling the subconscious mind, which is where our real power lies.
Good thoughts.
