Use Self-Hypnosis CD's To Motivate Yourself Into Making Personal Changes

[ Posted On: 2007-07-10 ]

Have you ever tried to do away with a negative behavior, only to be unsuccessful? There is list of familiar problem behaviors that people often try to change or do away with using hypnosis. Perhaps 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:

The motivation for our behaviors starts in our thoughts. If you stop and think about it, all of these destructive behaviors are the product of negative thinking. In other words, you think and motivate yourself into all of these behaviors. Or at least you think yourself into feeling frazzled, and that can be the reason for these behaviors. And in view of the fact that you think and motivate yourself into these behaviors, you can think and motivate yourself out of them as well. In order to successfully think and motivate yourself out of these negative behaviors, you will need to know the "Motivation Formula For Success."

DESIRE:

You're probably reading this expose for the reason that you want the motivation to make some personal changes. And that is opportune because the first element in the "Motivation Formula For Your Success" is that you must want or desire to change. If you have read this far, at least a little part of you wants a change.

BELIEF IS REQUIRED FOR MOTIVATION:

Before anyone can eliminate a negative behavior, that person must be motivated to do so. Merely wanting a change is not sufficient.

Motivation comes from what we believe. If we believe that something very important to us will get better or "become enhanced" if we make a change in our behavior, we will feel motivated. Conversely, if we believe that something very important to us will be placed in jeopardy if we don't make a change in our behavior, we will also feel motivated to make a change.

Some plain examples of these motivational beliefs would be:

If I lose weight, then I'll be able to get a date or find someone to love me.

If I stop smoking cigarettes, then I'll be healthier.

If I improve my study habits, then I can graduate from college.

TECHNOLOGIES THAT CAN CREATE THE BELIEFS THAT LEAD TO MOTIVATION:

NLP - which is short for Neuro-Linguistic Programming, offers strategies that are able to immediately create the element of belief. You can discover more about this by reading the articles "How To Get Motivated To Exercise Using Hypnosis And NLP" and "Motivation Theory - How To Quit Smoking Using NLP And Hypnosis For Motivation." These articles are both available in my free hypnosis research library.

DECISION:

The dictionary definition of the word "Decision" is making up one's mind / a verdict or judgment. When you accept as true an idea that provides you with a powerful feeling of motivation to modify your behavior, you will feel bound to make a decision to change a negative behavior. Decision is the key that unlocks the door to compelling action.

ACTION:

The dictionary defines the word "Action" as an act or deed / to do or perform. Taking action means that instead of just daydreaming about making personal changes, you will actually take action and create your desired changes.

SELF-TALK:

One of the many reasons that people fail to change or eliminate a negative behavior is because of the way that they talk to themselves. Self-talk is vital because repeatedly it is part of what caused the negative behavior to begin with.

I'd like you to consider this for a moment: Let's say that you want to stop smoking. Probably the first thing that you may well say or think to yourself is: "I'm not going to smoke 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:

Say the following to yourself: I can't see blue. I can't see polka dots . . . . . . .

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 do not want to do, or what we won't do, in order to make sense of it our mind must show us doing whatever it is that we want to stop doing. And when we see ourselves in a behavior, our mind compels us to create that behavior.

SUMMARY:

In order to alter a negative behavior, we must first want or DESIRE to get rid of it. BELIEF is the component that leads us to MOTIVATION. MOTIVATION is the drive that pushes us to DECISION. DECISION is the means to ACTION. NLP is a modality that we can use to facilitate beliefs, motivation, decisions, and actions.

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 get rid of. And that mental movie gives us a compulsion to generate the unwanted behavior. So if we want to get rid of a negative behavior, instead of telling ourselves what we will not do, we must always tell ourselves what we will do.

To break the smoking addiction say: "I can live without them."

To abolish cravings for food that will make you fat or to stop chewing smokeless tobacco say: "I can live without it."

To eliminate stress say: "I'm relaxed and calm, both mentally and physically."

To fall asleep more quickly say: "I fall asleep quickly, and sleep soundly throughout the entire night."
