Stress symptoms can range anywhere from under eating to overeating, sleeping to much to sleeping to little, constant worrying to unhappiness and depression. Weight gain is a common result of being stressed out and can affect every major organ in your body including mental and emotional problems.

You could easily see the comparisons of the rise in stress and obesity problems here in America with so many reasons to be stressed out in this fast paced day and age. People tend to have a dimmer outlook on life with lower self esteem and have less desire to eat healthy and exercise or be physically active. Most people spend their lives avoiding pain and seeking pleasure in order to find that comfort zone where stress is best well managed. If we fall out of that comfort zone due to a stressful situation or event, we reach for something to make us feel better like sugary foods, or a drink and a smoke etc.

More and more people are seeking natural alternative methods that don't require drugs that usually end up not working in the long term.

Doing any form of vigorous exercise or activity can relieve stress. Your brain will release chemicals called endorphines that will give you a natural mental state of well-being. Exercise combined with a psychological and emotional change will give you the desire to maintain a healthy lifestyle while relieving stress and enable you to lose weight and keep it off. Sometimes out of the ordinary natural remedies are best and hypnosis and yoga are becoming a mainstream solution to relieve people from stress related weight gain and every day anxiety symptoms, especially since both can be taught and performed alone and at home.

Remaining steadfast in a diet program can be a difficult goal for a lot of individuals since it takes unwavering consistency and in most cases will include removing some, or all of your favorite foods, and the only way to get completely healthy and fit is with some sort of intense exercise or physical fat burning activity.

Hypnosis and yoga are both being recognized for their general health and curative benefits for stress symptoms such as emotional overeating or the inability to get motivated for exercise or physical activity. Hypnosis is an artificially produced sleep-like state where the participant enters an altered state of consciousness. Only individuals with a willingness and an complete dedication to their treatment goals will be successful with hypnosis. During hypnosis, you are fully awake, even though you are unaware of what is going on around you. It's similar to when you daydream or become totally immersed in a book or movie.

Hypnotism was looked down upon as some sort of theatrical trick until Western medicine showed an interest in its undeniable benefits and since has made great strides towards becoming a useful technique for relieving people of chronic pain, smoking cessation, weight loss, phobias and motivational benefits.

In order for an individual to be free of overeating with hypnosis, one must be willing to be transformed into a different state of mind that will reduce the food cravings and give the participant the desire to eat healthy and avoid all the bad fattening and sugary foods plus a sudden ambition to workout or become physically active.

There is no magic to hypnosis, only the individuals use of a natural physical state that influences your subconscious that is only effective if it's something you truly desire. Yoga is a system of holistic health originating in India over 5000 years ago. Yoga is the practice of balancing the mind, body and spirit enabling the participants to feel more powerful, confident and balanced.

There are many forms of yoga, with Hatha encompassing the many physical types of yoga. Ashtanga, which means eight limbs, being the most physical-kind, linking asanas (postures) that are both physical and powerful. A more modern term used today is Power Yoga and is being utilized in many of the gyms and workout classes in America due to it's vigorous and physically demanding constant poses. Because of the constant movement (flow) Power Yoga helps fortify both mind and body while increasing your heart rate and your flexibility.

To acquire a complete physical and mental transformation to lose weight and have a cardio, calorie burning effect, the yoga sessions need to be performed long and often enough to get the good results.

With the stress relief and physical benefits associated with yoga and exercise, many people are combining yoga with other forms of exercise such as aerobics, walking and many other forms of fat burning activity workouts. Yoga also needs to be performed on a regular basis to have a long term lasting effect. And similar to starting an exercise regimen for the first time, you will need to perform less intense yoga poses in the beginning, so you don't hurt yourself.

So, both hypnosis and yoga are truly effective alternatives to supplements and drugs for weight loss or any stress symptom, providing a deep willingness is present . The rewards will be proportionate to your efforts
