Eskridge & Associates: Try Hypnosis!

I had a very interesting week this week. I had the opportunity to visit one of my clients this past Wednesday and be hypnotized!

I had a bad habit since I was a sophomore in high school of dipping tobacco. You know...Skoal, Copenhagen, etc. For the last 30 years (oh my gosh, has it really been that long!) I have put myself and my family at risk....and I was more than ready to do something about it. Oh I have tried several times to quit in the past. I was successful for about two years but decided to start a business and with all the new stress that that introduces fell back in the habit.

On Wednesday I flew to Jacksonville, FL to meet with a longtime client of mine who happens to be a clinical hypnotist as well. I joked with her about "fixing" me and she was willing to give it a try. I figured I had nothing to loose. I was really curious if I could be hypnotized. As it turned out, it was a wonderful experience. It seems the biggest obstacle is learning to relax. According to my wife, that is only the beginning of my problems, but that will be the subject of another blog...or twelve! In any case, my hypnotist was able to get me to relax to a point I have never experienced before. It was a unique sense of peace to the point where I was open to the suggestion of no longer requiring tobacco. It has only been two days, but I have to tell you, it has been amazing. There has been no withdrawal symptoms and no overpowering desire to indulge. Yesterday was the first morning that I have not had tobacco with my morning coffee since I can remember.

I would encourage everyone to explore the possibilities of hypnosis to address any issues you are working through. It is truly an amazing tool to unlock the subconscious. If anyone would like the name and contact information for my Hypnotist, drop me an email to bob@eskridge-associates.com. I would be very interested to hear stories from others who have tried it.

Eskridge & Associates launches Eskridge Worldwide Travel

Eskridge & Associates has recently launched a new service to meet the travel requirements of physicians worldwide. “In talking with physicians who had recently finished contract assignments, we noticed a recurring comment about the hassles of setting up travel arrangements for their various assignments. To address this issue, we launched Eskridge Worldwide Travel as a single site for physicians to go to easily book the travel and accommodations they require. The physician has the option to book the travel themselves or utilize one of our travel agents to handle the itinerary for them,” says Bob Eskridge, President of Eskridge & Associates and Eskridge Worldwide Travel. The site not only meets the needs for business travel but also provides for vacations, cruises, tours, etc.

Memorial Day - A Day to Give Honor

This past Monday I had the honor to attend Memorial Day services in honor of our fallen heroes. Being a veteran myself, this is time for me to remember not only my time in service of my country but those who have served in years past. It was truly a solemn moment.

This year the service occurred during a fairly heavy rain and unfortunately less attended than in years past. During the service, I could not help but notice that of those in attendance were mostly veterans of past wars. I noticed gentlemen from World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam vets and Iraq. I noticed most proudly wore the medals than earned. I cannot understand why more folks could not take a hour or so out of their year to learn about some of these truly amazing people.

The service was very touching. I was glad it was raining...it easily hid the tears on my cheeks.

Hopefully next year I will see more folks...but I doubt it.
