If you struggle to find motivation for training and ask yourself 'why can't I stay consistent with working out?' then this blog post is for you. I want to start this blog post with a quote that really sums up my philosophy in the whole approach to achieving body transformations that last.  Focus on the inner game and the outer game takes care of itself. I first come across this idea when I was wanting to get into a relationship actually. When I lost the weight I didn't gain the self-esteem and everything that I needed to be out there and be more appealing, talking to girls and building that part of my life. And there was all these things about techniques and the pickup lines and the fashion and how to sound better and come across better and doing all these things, but it seemed like a lot of work to pretend to be that way and this is what you might call outer game. All the techniques and tricks and things that you could do. Working on the inner game building self-confidence and building a better relationship with yourself and ability to connect with others and doing all these sorts of things is working on the inner game. And then when the inner game is good when those things are there you just naturally connect with people more, you naturally want to be in a relationship in a better way that's not just serving yourself it's serving you know the both of you, and you just become a more attractive person.  Once the inner game is sorted out all the actions just fall in line and even though it seemed like a lot maybe more work to some degree to work on the inner game, I couldn't just do the quick tricks and get what I wanted. You had to go in and do the hard work but ultimately in the long run if we're just pretending and not representing myself truly as I am in the world then that's ultimately a lot more work. It would be easier really even to just do the inner work and then what happens on the outside it just happens and I don't have to worry about it. And this is kind of the essence of what is the way to make it last. In regards to fitness and body transformations this idea I think really holds well in that these days, people are just saying let's do this trick, or technique or let's do this hack and then you start trying to focus so much on 'oh am I doing the right technique?' 'am I having the right diet?' 'am I doing exactly the right thing?' and worrying about all these sort of outer game things and trying to track all the pieces it's very exhausting.  So if we do the inner work we align ourselves with health and wanting to be stronger and fitter and we really really want that, our values are in align with that in terms of discipline and motivation and all that stuff when you work on those things the outer game just takes care of itself. You're going to naturally be drawn to be doing more of these many things and spending more time building those aspects of yourself because you're aligned with that. So it's when it's in you it's part of you it's who you are now and this is how it can really last and I think you can really if you just have a think about it you know yeah what it just naturally exudes out of you it's you have to fight yourself not to do it and that would be cool and it is cool. So I think you absolutely by getting into this material and really getting into the process and all the different ideas we're going to go through I think that that can definitely be your reality as well. So if you'd like a more personalized experience of that coaching process where we get you connected to your reasons and really get motivated I do the coaching services and you know we can go through down the road of fitness and weight loss and body transformations.

What I've come to learn as a Personal Trainer & Weight Loss Coach is that the most powerful element of the whole weight loss game is your Mindset. If we can't get this right it's not going to work. What we're here to do on this blog is learn about the process of change and what we're talking about here is the long game. Any program you do in the first six to twelve weeks you're gonna lose weight, it doesn't matter what it is, but that's not the problem. The problem is after that. What happens after that? We typically lose motivations, results slow down, the inherent chaos of life comes in and throws us off.  'You can have the best diets in the world or the best training program, but if you're not you're not in it mentally you just you're not going to do any of it.' This is what is the most important thing to be focused on: How can we keep ourselves together and stay in the weight loss game? This is what it's all about. How do we see the road ahead knowing the things that are going to be obstacles? If we know what they are then they don't have the power over us. When the distortions of the mind come in and start justifying why it's okay to not train, why it's okay to eat those bad foods. You can see them coming, you don't get hooked by them, you don't get hoodwinked by them, you get to have power to say no I'm going to stay in the game I'm going to get results for myself, I'm going to change my life. So that's where the focus of our work is going to be. Whatever weight loss efforts you're doing, keep doing it. Do more of it. Do something else. We can give some tips and hints here as well in the physical space but in the mental space I think is where most of this industry isn't paying enough attention to and that's why everyone's in this cycle of looking for the magic program, the one that would be so wonderful and get results so consistently that it'll be so inspiring and I'll keep doing it forever. You know I haven't seen one of those before. The truth is, losing weight is a process it's not one simple straight answer. If we can stay in the game this thing is much more effective and much more enjoyable. And it's not just your health that improves, it's not just your weight and your looks that improve, it's everything in your life that improves. That's what I've seen in my practice as well. I've actually become a Psychotherapist and use Hypnosis to help people get past their barriers, get past their blocks and be able to move forward powerfully in changing their lives, changing their health and making big differences that last, because who cares about the next six weeks, twelve weeks - we want your weight loss to last. If that sounds interesting to you and like that might help in the journey then subscribe and come along for the ride.

Using Hypnosis Jeff has helped many people make those significant changes in their life. Over the last few years in our Hypnotherapy clinic we get asked these Top 5 Questions about Hypnosis treatments on repeat, so thought we would blog about to let you know the answers and help you make an informed decision if you thinking about trying it.  top 5 FAQ about Hypnosis treatments answered1. What Does Hypnotherapy Do?Have you ever found yourself wanting to do a certain thing and then doing another? Consciously you think you know that you shouldn't do this but then you go ahead and do it anyway. So there are these different parts of you that want different things. What could be called a disconnection between unconscious and conscious parts of you. This is where Hypnosis comes in. Hypnotherapy is used to get more communication and integration between the conscious and unconscious parts within you.  2. What is the difference between Therapy and Hypnotherapy?At the beginning of your Hypnotherapy session we make a clear intention and become clear on to what is it that you want to get out of your session. What is it that's going to make a difference in your life going forward? Having an outcome that we're focused on achieving. Whereas in regular therapy you might go in and enter the problem and talk about how it might work and not really get to a specific outcome at the end. But with Hypnotherapy we've got a goal that we're working towards and then we go to work on making sure we get a result by the end of the session. 3. Why do we struggle with change?There's been a lot of times where people had these big "AHA"s and learn a lot about the way that they think a certain problem is interacting for them and why they might be doing it but then go out and then they are still having the same feelings and having the same habits show up. This is because the desired change hasn't dropped into their unconscious. Making changes at an unconscious level is what I found has been missing key and that's what having the tool of hypnosis has been able to allow me to do is help a lot more people make more significant changes. 4. What happens in a Hypnotherapy session?To begin with we're going to give as much to the conscious mind that is valuable to do so. We unpack the problem, we understand the dynamics of how it works and then loosen off the power it has over us. Then we get into creating the new behaviours and that's where we'll actually sit down and get into a proper trance. A trance is opens up the channels of the unconscious mind and embeds the change deep within. Throughout the trance you are connected to the change you desire to make and your power to create the change in your own life. 5. What can you expect from a hypnotherapy session?So we're getting the unconscious and the conscious mind to have a conversation, have a connection. You're going to walk away knowing that the change has taken place and how that took place. Then your unconscious mind, having made those shifts and moved in a way that's going to serve you, be generative and cascade into all the other areas of your life. If you think that sounds good and you're willing to get in there and dig into the problem and unpack it and reprogram it and get connected to your power to make changes in your life then Hypnotherapy is going to be a great experience for you.

Ever wondered if Weight Loss Coaching could help you lose weight for good?
Weight Loss Coach Jeff Laurence explains how people can find value in working with a Weight Loss Health expert to help them navigate the physical, mental and emotional challenges one inevitably faces on the journey to lose weight and keep it off for good. ​ 
​"I've been asked before what is Weight Loss Coaching? How is that different from other ways of going about losing weight? ​And what I say to those people is these three key reasons that coaching delivers success to people who have tried the diets, the 6 week challenges and 'I'll start on Monday' approach but have not had any success and know that there has got to be a better way... 1. FIND A MENTOR
If you ever want to achieve something really significant in life you go out and you find a mentor or a coach to help you achieve your goals.
Having someone who knows the way, who knows how to be able to navigate the challenges that inevitably come up and how to mentally, emotionally, physically address all these things. That is going to always be a valuable tool and anyone else I've worked with will probably tell you the same.
2. ​BE EMPOWERED BY YOUR REASONS
The first thing we do in a Weight Loss Coaching session is to get you really associated with the reasons why you want this.
​We also look at what you're going to lose from it.
And the reasons are unique for everyone but that's the thing we get there and we really dig into what it is that is gonna be the most empowering reasons for you to stay with the goal of losing weight. Without remembering this leads to constant temptation and falling off the wagon. If you are not constantly reminding yourself of why you are doing this, you will soon forget at the most pivotal parts of your journey. PLAY THE LONG GAME
The thing that's most important to recognize and to deal with is the mental game because we're thinking about the long term here not just short term. The results you get in the next 6 weeks are not anywhere near as important as the results you're going to get over the next 10 years. And this is what a Weight Loss Coach will help you refocus your attention on.
A lot of our lives are just these habitual routines but once we start to turn off the autopilot in our minds and put our hands on the steering wheel we can start to make all kinds of changes and this approach is the only thing that's going to create these changes that last a lifetime. "
​So if you agree that weight loss starts in your mind, you will realise that Weight Loss Coaching has real merit in shifting your behaviour and helping you to achieve real weight loss results.

Keep up to date with our latest content on Hypnotherapy and Weight Loss Coaching by: By changing the way you think and feel, you can affect the way you behave even with the most challenging of tasks. Hypnotherapy works to change the state of your subconscious mind that influences your thoughts, feelings and ultimately habits of behaviour. Hypnosis works from within to create shifts in thinking and perspective that build behaviour changes that last. In this article, our Hypnotherapist Jeff speaks to the benefits and applications of Hypnotherapy for people who want to make effective behaviour change.   "When you see an overweight person, you might think "they've got no discipline", "they've got no self-control" or "they don't know how to manage themselves'" BUT when you realise for example that they are a successful Business Owner or Senior Leader in a company: Does this person not have discipline? Does not have self-management skills? Does this person not have the ability to set goals and work hard? Obviously not! They've built a lot of success and resources in their life.  They are very resourceful, they can commit to goals, work hard at them and keep pushing forward with those things. It's just in the problem space they're not applying those resources. This is where Hypnosis is a very powerful tool. Where we can explore what is missing in the problem space and then find a way of transferring those resources into that area. Creating degree of inspiration, commitment and capability to get moving in that area.  How can hypnotherapy work for me?Hypnotherapy is effective if the person is effective. At the end of the day Hypnotherapy is a tool. If you use hypnosis correctly it will work very well. You can't just think that it's gonna do the work for you, you still need to do the work. It's not magic but it is magical in its effect that it can have when used correctly. I think it's a very powerful way to make consistent changes over a long period of time and maintain those changes. It's something that I've had success with for myself and others. What can you use Hypnotherapy for?Hypnosis is a powerful tool if you're feeling stuck or feel like you are not being able to get into action. Any of the things that hold us back from doing the things we need to do to get the things we want to get in life. Hypnotherapy can be used for:
 Hypnosis is a fantastic tool for us to make the changes deeper and to get better results. So whatever the changes are that you are wanting to manifest in your life, it's a way to tap into a deeper intelligence and get that alignment so that we can do the things that we want to do in our lives.
