Self Hypnosis and NLP Formula For Success
Author: Alan Densky
Article:
Have you ever tried to do away with an unhelpful behavior, only
to not succeed? There is an extensive list of universal problem
behaviors that people often try to alter or do away with using
hypnosis. 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 mull it over, all of
these harmful behaviors are the result of negative thinking. In
other words, you think and motivate yourself into all of these
behaviors. Or at least you think yourself into feeling tense,
and that can cause these behaviors. And since you think and
motivate yourself into these behaviors, you can think and
motivate yourself out of them as well. In order to effectively
think and motivate yourself out of them, you will need to know
the "Motivation Formula For Success."
DESIRE: You're probably reading this article for the reason that
you want the motivation to alter some personal behaviors. And
that's convenient because the first factor in the Motivation
Formula For Your Success is that you must want or desire to
change. If you have read this far, at least some part of you
wishes a change.
BELIEF IS REQUIRED FOR MOTIVATION: Before anyone can alter a
harmful behavior, that person must be motivated to do so. Merely
desiring a behavior to change is not adequate.
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, we will feel
motivated. Conversely, if we believe that something very
important to us will be placed at risk if we don't alter our
behavior, we will also feel highly motivated to alter our
behavior.
Some straightforward examples of these motivational beliefs
would be:
If I take some weight off, then I'll be able to find a
companion.
If I stop smoking, then I'll be healthier.
If I can 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, provides strategies that can instantly create the
element of belief. You can find out 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 defines the word "Decision" as making
up one's mind / a verdict or judgment. When you accept as true a
thought that gives you a powerful feeling of motivation to make
a change, you will feel a compulsion to make a decision to
eliminate a negative behavior. Decision is the key that unlocks
the door to taking action.
ACTION: The dictionary defines the word "Action" as an act or
deed / to do or perform. Taking action means that rather than
just thinking about making personal changes, you will actually
take steps to bring about your desired changes.
SELF-TALK: One of the reasons that most individuals are
unsuccessful at modifying a negative behavior is because of the
way that they talk to themselves. Self-talk is vital because
time and again it is an important part of what caused the
negative behavior in the first place.
I'd like you to think about this for a moment: Let's say that
you want to stop smoking. Probably the first thing that you
might say or think to yourself is: "I'm not going to smoke
cigarettes anymore."
It is common for people to tell themselves what they are not
going to do. Unfortunately, when we tell ourselves what we are
not 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 would like
to stop doing. And when we see ourselves engaging in a behavior,
our mind gives us a compulsion to produce that behavior.
SUMMARY: In order to alter a negative behavior, we must want or
DESIRE to get rid of it. BELIEF is the ingredient that creates
MOTIVATION. MOTIVATION is the drive that leads us to DECISION.
DECISION is the trigger to ACTION. NLP is a modality that we can
use to facilitate beliefs, motivation, decisions, and actions.
When we tell ourselves what we are not going to do, we make a
mental picture of ourselves in the behavior that we want to
alter. And that mental movie gives us an urge to create the
negative behavior. So if we want to eliminate a negative
behavior, instead of telling 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 fattening food or to quit chewing
tobacco say: "I can live without it."
To manage 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 night."
