*hypnosis*

When I was in college, the university always had a hypnotist during “welcome week”. I only went to his presentation once. It was kinda funny, I guess, but I felt bad for the people who allowed themselves to be hypnotized and then did dumb stuff onstage.

I do think, however, that hypnosis is a pretty neat tool that can help if you are trying to overcome bad habits or addictions. It might help you to stop smoking or to quit another bad habit, like chewing your nails or overeating. It’s not a miracle cure-all but it definitely can help. If you learn hypnosis, you can actually hypnotize yourself – which is pretty cool!
