One technique which McKenna discusses is that of using the power of language to boost our mood, which involves giving more consideration to the words we use.

The language we use can actually have a huge affect on our experience, as using a lot of negative language can be extremely limiting, shutting the door to any positive possibilities.

Somebody who frequently says ‘everything always goes wrong for me’ or ‘I’m so unlucky’, though they may be having a bad day are saying things which aren’t true.

If someone is constantly using negative phrases such as the above then they are very unlikely to notice all of the happy moments in their lives.

If you have got into the habit of being constantly derogatory about yourself then here are some tips from Paul McKenna which will help to make room for more happiness in your language:

It would be unusual to meet someone who isn’t feeling pressure in at least one aspect of their life, whether it be over what to cook for that evenings dinner right through to the stress of an interview or looming presentation.

But is there a way we can eliminate these stresses and strains?

Dr Sajan Galani is an Indonesia-born Mumbai-based hypnotherapist and he believes that his profession is a highly successful way of getting rid of these problems.

“Hypnotherapy is a harmless method with no side effects. I call it confluence of alternative healing,”

Galani went onto explain how thought there are many different method used to cleanse emotional junk and hypnotherapy is one of the easiest.

Galani often conducts hypnotherapy workshops and describes his technique as one that is carried out in two stages. ”The patient comes and describes the behaviour, which he wants to be altered. Root cause analysis is done and the problem is disassociated in the altered state. To illustrate it in a metaphor, it is like dealing with specific files in the hard disc of your personal computer.”

“It can help by resolving non-communicated anger, resentment or any negative feeling against an event, individual or even self. Most important, it has the ability to resolve your conditioning from the past experience, to enable you to be free to create a new future, said Galani.

Brian Wansink is an eating behaviourist who is director of nutritional science at Cornell University. In a recent study he found that female secretaries ate 5.6 times more chocolates if they were placed on a nearby desk than if they has to physically stand up and walk a few metres to get to them.

An additional experiment interestingly revealed that office workers positioned near to glass dishes full of sweets ate 71 per cent more a day than those who sat near white opaque dishes filled with the same sweets.

Wansink reveals that when two women are brought together they tend to mimic each others eating habits and also reports that we eat 30 per cent more calories in company than we do alone.

So what drives the office feeders to fatten up others?

Susan Ringwood from eating disorder charity Beat has said the habit is likely to be caused by them having an unhealthy relationship with food themselves.

‘It is often assumed that people with eating disorders such as anorexia are not interested in food and don’t feel hungry. But, in fact, the opposite is true,’ Ringwood says.

If you find yourself constantly picking and nibbling on snacks and treats whilst in the office and are concerned your habit might be sliding out of control then a great option is that of hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy has long since been used as a method of eliminating bad habits.

The therapy works through many techniques, one of which is retraining your unconscious mind to react to stimuli in a different way. For instance at the office when you are bored, a built in reaction may be to reach for this biscuit tin. A hypnotherapist could help to retrain the mind so next time boredom sets in you’ll be reaching for a glass of water.
