Insomnia is the condition that keeps people from getting valuable sleep each and every night. Sleep is more valuable than most people realize, as it not only helps you recharge your energy, but allows the body to heal from the day before. Without the proper sleep schedule, the body does not function at its most efficient level. Over the long term, this can lead to big time physical, mental, and emotional problems. Insomnia is something that most people feel that the have no control over. They usually want to sleep, but they have gotten so used to not being able to, that they just quit trying.

Some of the negative impacts of sleep deprivation and insomnia have been noted in studies over the years. Without the correct number of hours of sleep, a person’s chemical balance goes haywire. This can cause huge emotional problems and can cause large stress levels. Those things are never positive and can eventually lead to even greater physical problems. In addition, insomnia effects people who have early morning jobs. If you can’t sleep, there is no way you will be fresh when that shift rolls around in the morning. For those with families, not being able to sleep can create problems. Insomnia has been the cause of many divorces, so it is best to simply nip the problem before it becomes extremely serious.

In the end, insomnia is a mental problem that afflicts people. Their brain is controlling their body’s sleep functions. In order to shake insomnia for good, there needs to be some changes within the mind. There are a few different ways to achieve this, but one of the most reliable is hypnosis. Over the past decade, hypnosis has become a much more highly accepted form of treatment for problems like insomnia, along with a host of other problems. In my time as a hypnotherapist, I have treated patients for insomnia as well smoking, blushing, alcoholism, and some other things.

If you feel like you want to get to sleep, but you just can’t do it, then maybe hypnotherapy is for you. In the least, you owe it to yourself to find out what hypnosis is all about. With so many people having positive results with the technique, what’s to lose by giving it a try? Perhaps after doing some reading, you will discover that hypnosis or self hypnosis is the catalyst that could set you free from your problems.

Insomnia is a sleeping disorder which prevents one from sleeping for extended periods of time or it can even prevent a person from being able to fall asleep altogether. Insomnia can be caused by diet, stress, drugs or alcohol and even certain feelings such as fear or dread. Sometimes, people suffer from insomnia because they simply have an overactive mind or sometimes people cannot sleep because of other physical reasons, such as excruciating pain. Whatever it is, to cure this sleeping disorder problem, it is important to understand exactly what is causing it.

Is It Something You Been Doing?

The first thing you should do if you find yourself lying in bed, unable to fall sleep is to determine whether there is something you are doing throughout the day that may be causing insomnia. For example, if you drink coffee up until nine o’clock at night, you may need to look no further as to what’s causing your sleeping disorder. Caffeine, especially at night, is a huge culprit behind this sleep preventing disorder. There are also certain foods that can keep you wide awake. If you’re not sure about your diet that may be causing your disorder, do your research or talk to a dietitian. Having that last cup of coffee could be costing you hours and hours of necessary rest and relaxation that you deserve.

If you are on some kind of medication, ask your doctor if the drug you’re taking is causing your insomnia. Some illegal drugs also cause insomnia, especially amphetamines or uppers. Alcohol, can also cause this sleeping disorder. It all comes down to monitoring exactly what is going into your body system. Very often, it’s what you’re consuming that is causing your insomnia.

Of course, if you have some challenging deadline and you’re under a lot of stress or you are dealing with some sort of extreme guilt or even if you’re really afraid of something, these, too, can cause insomnia.

However, if you are stress free (envy), besides the fact that you’re stressing that you can’t sleep, try an experiment. Try eating different foods or try eliminating certain things from your daily diet. If you suddenly find yourself sleeping like a baby, then you’ve found your culprit. The key is to listen to your body. Your body needs sleep to recharge and you need sleep so that you’re not such a bear to your co-workers in the morning. Do yourself a favor and find out what’s causing your insomnia today.

Fact: Thousands wallow in depression because of insecurity.

When you ignore the positive feelings tied with accomplishment, it’s easy to slide back into negative self-talk and sabotage your success. In this insecured state, you may find it tough to focus on or permit yourself to enjoy feelings of accomplishment as feelings of self-judgment then emerge. Talking to yourself in a dark way reinforces habitual, unhealthy behavior. A sentiment such as, “Why forge ahead if I never get anywhere?” reflects a lack of self-confidence and low self-esteem. The self-chastisement involved in focusing on past failures, rather than past triumphs, keeps you in the shadows of uncertainty where there’s no opportunity for flying high.

When your self-confidence and sense of security are deficient, you may impose a retreat on yourself to escape taking challenges or risks. When a highly successful event does happen, you may conceive that it’s sheer luck. Self-talk and beliefs such as “My effort has no effect on the outcome,” may stem from previously programmed ideas that you received from deprecating others.
Feelings of insecurity and a lack of self-confidence can persuade you to try to control external events, including others. When you’re busy attempting to control external events, you may not be in command of yourself. For example, trying to control the way someone feels toward you tan be very overwhelming. You can’t command the feelings of others, but you can be in command of the way you respond and behave toward them.

Endeavoring to impact everything or everyone around you, rather than managing your own feelings and behaviors, undermines your self-growth and awareness. It fosters more insecurity. The point is not to focus on halting others on their road to triumph, but to focus on your own personal growth and accomplishment. Work at understanding and appreciating your competencies (e.g. integrity, perseverance, sound judgment, forthrightness) that are always on tap within you. Focus on developing your strengths to become enthusiastic and enervated. When you empower your mind and body to develop your personal strengths and resources, you enliven and consolidate your commitment to fly high.

Insecurity is self-destruction. Why stab yourself, or anyone else? Criticizing yourself unjustly undermines your growth and accomplishment Blaming and judging yourself because you’re not able to lead other people’s thoughts and feelings is self-sabotaging. Undermining the success of others erects barriers to warm relations, making it more difficult to appreciate situations that offer positive growth and opportunity. The feelings of triumph generated between two or more people far outweigh the sentiments created by insecurity and judging yourself.

Stop undermining yourself or others. Focus on your own road to success. Devote your time and energy to developing healthy thoughts and emotions. Take responsibility for your actions and move confidently toward your new opportunities. Fling insecurity out the window!
