 How to hypnotize yourself not to drink? I'm here with a real-life hypnotist in Stockholm, Sweden, Eric Okievich First of all before we explain how to hypnotize yourself not to drink alcohol. What do you do as a hypnotist? Well as a hypnotist, I hypnotize people up on stage, you know I meet people, you know, it's mostly corporate crowds and I You know invite people up on stage and I hypnotize them To do you know fun things like hypnotize them not to find their mouth When they want to drink water really yeah, so what so you get them up on stage? Yeah, and they and then you you put them into a trance I'm assuming and then you give them a glass of water and say drink the water and they're putting the glass They're like, yeah, dear thing. This is what it looks like You know, I've had people in a pouring on their head really yeah, the last show we guy put it on had that would be This is a great thing for alcohol. Yeah, this is how you stop yourself drinking it Hypnotize the viewer now as we have to do it in person stop drinking. That's right. All right. We're in Stockholm, Sweden here What's the name of the square? This is a Normans story. This is the city center of Sweden That's how the stock on my head. This is the city center of Stockholm. What's that's the hotel? I'm staying in there the Novus hotel. All right, so how do we hypnotize ourselves not realist Not not where we're like doing this thing But how do we you know create this vision in our mind if you like to not drink alcohol on an ongoing basis? How do we do it? Number one is actually that you're you're doing this for a reason and when you add the bar I want you to do some kind of a visceral visualization that imagine that you're at a crossroad and You have this the decisive moment right now to either, you know order drink or even order water But I want you to just extend that time frame Imagine that there has been 10 years. You're at the same bar And has been 10 years and imagine now that you have been Drinking alcohol habitually for 10 years. Let's say that you're 30 right now or 40 imagine 10 years Which means that you're it's in the year 2025 25 me and Matt or 26 to anyone you're watching this. Yeah, and Imagine that you're at this bar and you've been drinking alcohol Just imagine what will your skin look like have you if you've seen people who are drinking is They're all like red and mushy and everything, you know, they're not attractive at all, right now all that you can see it They are weathered in all yeah You know, you don't want to be one of those but imagine that you are imagine that you are and then imagine You know that belly the bell you know, you know, you're standing there with that belly Imagine what your relationships will be like if you have been just you know talking to people by when you're drunk And when you're drunk, you're not really yourself. So, you know, you maybe Curse at your boss or you have this dispute with your partner your male partner female. Right, right? And so we're painting a picture. That's pretty dark and bleak. Yeah. Yeah, and and also you'll be Beto Libido, Libido, yeah, I'll do the the American slash Australian pronunciation Libido, Libido, you know, go a spin around here. Yeah, okay So what what you're essentially saying then is If you continue on this path that you're on right now Maybe you're maybe you just you're having a one drink a night every night of the week And you don't think that's a big deal But is it not a big deal because maybe it is because maybe that's affecting your sleep Or maybe that's affecting your skin and maybe that's affecting your productivity and maybe that's affecting your relationships Yeah, and if you stay on this path that you have been on where are you going to be in 10 years? Well, you're going to be in a lot worse situation than you are now Maybe you don't even think you're in a bad situation. You think oh, it's okay, but Maybe just maybe it's costing you money. It's costing you your health. It's costing your time Relationships. There's a cop opportunity cost for this drink that you're having So what you seem to be saying is is that? Like visualize 10 years in the future if you carry on and continue with this path Yeah, but this is the this is the secret. This is what makes it all powerful Imagine, you know, let's say I'm in your head and I'm hypnotizing you right now I wouldn't say that I'm hypnotizing you right now, but let's just say I'm hypnotizing you right, okay? And I want you to imagine also the future. What if you know, it's the year 2025 or 26 and you're at the bar and you're drinking water because Drinking water is something that you do. This is drinking water is something that you enjoy You really like this and imagine what you're these 10 years have been like, you know Maybe you got promoted because you have more energy your finances are great because you know You have energy to do what you want to do And imagine the relationships when you're showing your true personality You know the the person that you are, you know deep inside because you can express yourself and Imagine that, you know what your skin will look like, you know, if you've seen people like this guy Maybe this guy Let's go. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah, keep going. Yeah, imagine, you know what people who don't drink what they look like their skin Yeah, well they look healthier They've got more energy. They look better women in particular. Don't they they age a lot? Oh my god Yeah, without the whole use and and they're very women in particular Conscious of the crow's feet that you get around around if you guys are as well But to a lesser degree that women obviously society puts a lot of pressure on women to look good. Yeah so If you don't drink and if you're imagining this feature where you're healthy and you're feeling great and you're not You're not putting poison into you. Maybe you look younger. Maybe you look like you're supposed to look like you're not Yeah, you're not having to like put all this stuff on your face to John and look better So we're essentially looking at two different scenarios, right? We're just here in the foyer of the Novus Hotel here Okay, cool. So so to hypnotize yourself. You look at two scenarios The first is what happens if you stay on this path your life is not, you know, maybe in 10 years now What's it's what's it costing you to have that night we drink that now and then the other scenario is what do you get? If you stop drinking or you seriously reduce your drinking from this point. Yeah, is that right? That's right And also, this is something that you can do at the bar Instantaneously when you're saying they're in the bar and you're like to say well, who do I want to be in 10 years? Yeah from now the other one is that you can you know do this just Sitting down, you know relaxing and hypnotizing yourself. Maybe before going to sleep You know, I had a normal night to just close your eyes and you visualize these parts. Okay. All right Hit me just Eric Okovic. Where do we find you online Eric?
