My SassyHubby and I adore movies and try and take turns picking the evenings entertainment. I love the entire experience, the story telling, the dark, the popcorn and the chance to unplug from the real world. There aren’t many movies I don’t enjoy. This past week it was my SassyHubby’s turn to pick the flick. He decided on “Now You See Me”.
Are you familiar with this movie? Basically a bunch of smart ass kids use their magic skills to create havoc and commit some super smart crimes. Maybe it was because I was so tired, maybe it was because magic kind of freaks me out, but this particular film did nothing for me. It did however spur on an interesting conversation. Even though magic gives me the heebie jeebies, I am fascinated by the idea of hypnosis. Some random person snaps your fingers and suddenly you are clucking like a chicken or singing your heart out like you own centre stage at the Grand Ole Opry. Embarrassing! Would I ever allow myself to be hypnotized in one of those kitschy magic shows? Nope. Well, unless the hypnotist could cure my ridiculous fear of the dentist. But what if I could hypnotise my Hubby? Now there’s a thought! What kind of power would I want over him? So easy. I’d snap my fingers or use the special code word and I’d use that power to have my Hubby spontaneously do a load of laundry, empty the dishwasher without being asked, or maybe vacuum! Hawt! The possibilities are endless!
When I posed the question to girlfriends; “If you had the power to hypnotize that man of yours, what would you get him to do?” The answers were eerily similar. Everything from getting that man to spontaneously pick his underwear up off the floor, to helping with dinner.
Then I asked my man the hypnosis question. Can you guess what a man would do if he had the power of a hypnotist? Let’s just say his snapping fingers would not result in more home cooked meals or cleaner sheets. As a matter of fact, his answer was not “clean” at all! Ha! Once again I am reminded Men are really just teenage boys in disguise and I have one more reason to stay clear of magicians and hypnotists!
If you had the power of a hypnotist? What would you get your loved one to do?
mmmm naturally get him to clean up after himself and other stuff that shouldn’t be talked about here =P
you wouldn’t want to know. lol
Play with people’s minds , not for me
It’s best if we don’t go down this road! lol
Hi everyone. There’s a big difference between stage hypnosis for entertainment and clinical hypnotherapy. I never click my fingers or use any props or have anyone running around like a chicken. I wouldn’t know how to nor would I want to!
Hypnotherapy is about giving people tools to help them overcome anything that’s holding them back – could be low self-esteem or lack of confidence or a fear or phobia. I use hypnotherapy to help people deal with anxiety and stress or to cope with change. Hypnotherapy is about self-empowerment, increasing focus and concentration, stopping procrastination, increasing productivity and reducing absenteeism. Hypnosis is a process of helping you get into a relaxed state, it’s not something that is ‘done’ to you. It’s about helping you achieve your goals and get rid of any negative thoughts and feelings that may be intefering with your everyday lives. There are a lot of misconceptions out there. You shoud give it a go – nothing to be frightened of and lots to gain!
I thought this was pretty cute. Surely, if I had the power, my house would be spotless 24/7.
How funny–yes that question among men would likely turn into a locker room discussion too quickly.
Well since we are in tax prep time, I would say the hypnotized Mrs. would do our taxes–since I do them and could find other ways to waste time. On second thought, her deduction strategies are border-line crazy, if she did the taxes, the government agents would be knocking on the door in minutes. Maybe I should just skip this question.
I would get my husband to finish the jobs he has started, I’m still waiting for trim around my door it’s going on about six years now, and my bathroom has been tore apart for about six months, so ya it would be to finish jobs
Ack! Yes, you deserve a little bit of magic! Six years waiting for trim is simply too long! The hypnotist )real one!! Who commented just before you recommends lingerie to get jobs done! Ha Best of luck!
