"Change by hypnosis" |
Most people think they would like to change something about themselves and some people think they
would like to change everything about themselves. Almost all of them get stuck in the thinking-about-
it stage.
That’s fine. If you handle it right, the way you think can double your odds of success. By exploring
your options and imagining yourself living the changes, you can activate your emotions, rehearse
your behaviors, and persuade you subconscious that the change is essential your well-being.
If you don’t take the time to do that, you are probably going to fail… because staying the same is
what your subconscious mind is designed to do.
You naturally resist change.Your subconscious mind governs your habits and your body functions.
Keeping things the same is what makes habits work. Keeping things the same also performs an
important survival function; your subconscious assumes that, because you are still alive, whatever
you are doing is working just fine, so let’s not mess with success.
Who knows what might happen if you change something? Easy, gradual changes might not be too bad,
as long as you can look way down the pathway and see what’s coming.
But, you want to push aside that mastodon skin and step outside? Are you CRAZY? You have no idea
what might be lurking out there, waiting to pounce and tear you limb from limb. No way! Better leave
it alone.
Yes, your subconscious sounds a lot like your mother. And, it means well. Like your mother.
There are many reasons why it’s not all that easy to change, and, that is not necessarily a bad thing.
If you just thought about changing and, presto-chango, you were different, then what would happen
when another urge struck your fancy half an hour later? Wouldn’t you feel like one of those little toys
that bump and whirr their way across the floor until they bump into something that sends them
whirring off in a different direction until they bump into something else? They just bump and whirr
until they run down, don’t they?
So, be kind to yourself over those changes that you haven’t made…yet. It’s not just your “comfort
zone” that is keeping you in your familiar patterns.
Maybe some part of you really does not want to change. Maybe the “reward” you get from your “bad
habit” is something your subconscious believes you can’t get any other way. Maybe, deep down, you
value pizza and TV with your over-sized friends a lot more than the scary world of sexual competition.
If you are going to ADD something to your life, you are going to have to stop doing something you are
doing now. If you are going to be slimmer, you are going to have to stop eating the way you are
eating now. If you are going to get a promotion, you are going to have to change your relationships
with your co-workers. If you are going to take a course, you are going to have to give up time with
friends and family.
You have a finite amount of time, energy, and talent. You can do anything, but you can’t do
everything. Right now, something is absorbing that time and energy that you will need to invest in
your change. Even if it’s only a couple hours of crappy television, which everyone can afford to lose,
something must go.
If you want to REMOVE something from your life, you have a different issue. You need to find
something at least as desirable as what you are eliminating to fill that time. Nature abhors a vacuum.
If you are going to give up smoking, you need to find a replacement behavior that you enjoy, or you
will find it difficult to get past the times when you “always smoke”. Your smoking friends may need to
be avoided, too, at least until your new habits are firmly established.
If you want to change, you need a powerful motivator: With so many internal forces resisting change,
you need to have really strong reasons to move towards or away from a particular goal. Honest
evaluation of what you have to gain by changing is essential, and it’s important to WRITE IT DOWN.
What do you want? Why do you want it? What do you need to get it? What are you willing to give in
exchange?
You need to review your list every day to keep it fresh.. Read it aloud, at least twice a day, and
imagine it as if it were accomplished, with all the EMOTION you can evoke.
Why? Because emotion is THE tool that impresses your goals into your subconscious mind.
Imagine vividly and in all the detail you can conjure up, that you are living your life with your
change accomplished. Go through your daily life in your mind with your change completed,
reaping the rewards. Feel it, see it, hear the compliments, enjoy the results.
This is self-hypnosis. You are permitting your subconscious mind to practice being the new you.
It is testing the new skills in your everyday world to see how they fit. It is getting accustomed to
the behaviors and forming new habits. You are demonstrating that the change is beneficial and
making it desirable. This proves you believe it will happen.
Then, take action: Do it. Just as you planned. Take persistent, continuous action. If you slip or
trip, notice what caused that to happen, remove it, and go on. When you were learning to walk,
you fell on you butt a few times before you got good at it, didn’t you?
In 21- 45 days, you will find yourself automatically doing, saying, and being the changed you
MOST OF THE TIME. Every now and then you may get a glimpse of the old you because
something you do rarely may activate old associations, but those times get less and less
frequent with each passing day .
If you are uncertain about your ability to practice self-hypnosis every day, you could benefit
from the Guided Visualization CD called “THE CHANGE PROCESS”.
“The Change Process” uses sophisticated NLP techniques coupled with classic hypnosis to guide
your imagination though the changes you want to make. Because your subconscious becomes familiar
with the changes as if they are already a part of your everyday life, it believes the changes have
already taken place and installs them in your conscious life.
THE CHANGE PROCESS has two parts: 1) “The Change Process Instructions” (12 min) is designed to
help you formulate and define your specific changes. 2) “The Change Process” (31 mins) guides you
through a flexible imagination process that will change and become more intense with each repetition
because your mind supplies a changing set of details as you improve your skill at “seeing yourself”
successfully changed.
The really unique thing about THE CHANGE PROCESS is that it is designed so that you can use it on
virtually any change (One at a time, please. Stay focused.)
