Talk To Yourself To Create The Hypnosis Motivate To Success FormulaPosted by Nick Niesen on October 26th, 2010 Did you ever try to do away with a harmful behavior, only to fail? There is an extensive list of ordinary problem behaviors that people often try to alter or eliminate using self-hypnosis or NLP. The most common are: Overeating and weight loss; stop smoking; quit chewing tobacco; stop nail biting; increasing self-confidence; overcoming insomnia and sleeping better; improving memory; and managing stress. WHAT THE MIND CAUSES, THE MIND CAN CURE: DESIRE: BELIEF IS REQUIRED FOR MOTIVATION: Our motivation comes from the things that we believe. If we believe that something very important to us will get better or "become enhanced" if we alter our behavior, then we will feel a high level of motivation. Conversely, if we believe that something very important to us will be placed in jeopardy if we don't alter our behavior, we will also experience motivation to alter our behavior. Some simple examples of these motivational beliefs would be: If I take some weight off, then I'll be able to find a companion. If I kick my smoking habit, then I won't have to worry about cancer. If I stop biting my nails, then my hands will look a lot more attractive. TECHNOLOGIES THAT CAN CREATE THE BELIEFS THAT LEAD TO MOTIVATION: DECISION: ACTION: SELF-TALK: I'd like you to think about this for a moment: Let us say that you want to kick a cigarette addiction. The first thing that you are likely to say or think to yourself is: "I'm not going to smoke cigarettes anymore." It is universal for people to tell themselves what they aren't going to do. Unfortunately, when we tell ourselves what we aren't going to do, we are actually programming ourselves to do it! SELF-TALK EXERCISE: I'll bet your mind showed you the color blue, and then it showed you polka dots. That's because when we tell ourselves what we aren't going to do, in order to make sense of it our mind must make an image of us doing whatever it is that we would like to stop doing. And when we imagine ourselves in a behavior, our mind compels us to produce that behavior. SUMMARY: When we tell ourselves what we aren't going to do, we make a mental picture of ourselves using the behavior that we want to alter. And that mental image gives us an urge to participate in the negative behavior. So if we want to abolish a negative behavior, rather than tell ourselves what we won't do, we must always tell ourselves what we will do. To stop smoking say: "I can live without them." To eliminate cravings for high calorie foods or to stop chewing smokeless tobacco say: "I can live without it." To reduce stress say: "I'm relaxed and calm, both mentally and physically." To overcome insomnia say: "I fall asleep promptly, and sleep soundly throughout the entire night." Like it? Share it!More by this author |
