We all suffer from time to time with lack of motivation, incentive and enthusiasm. No matter how good our intentions are, how important the task is, how urgent it is to be completed; we can sometimes lose the impetus to see the project, event, or idea through to its conclusion. Hypnosis can help to become more motivated.
Often the reason why we under achieve, or fall by the wayside at the first hurdle and lose enthusiasm and motivation to continue is because the goals we set ourselves in the first place were not achievable.
So a good starting point is to check that the goal we want to achieve is rational and logical when taking into account all external factors such as finances, support from others, location, skills and the time available. There is little point on aiming to be an opera singer if your voice isn't good enough, or become a surgeon if you can't stand the sight of blood.
Setting goals is the place to start and using hypnosis; actually visualizing them, allows you to break the goal's down into easy-to-manage chunks or steps, after all, if you don't know what you want and what it looks and feels like, how are you going to get there?
Setting goals allows you to turn vague desires and wishes in concrete objectives!
Using self-hypnosis to boost motivation is designed create the stimulus you are lacking, so that you can succeed at whatever you want to. By accessing the subconscious mind during the hypnotic state, and planting the stimuli there, you can begin to change those feelings of apathy, lethargy, lack of confidence and lack of motivation, into feelings of enthusiasm, confidence, inspiration, passion and zest. Wake up in the morning feeling eager to start those projects you have been putting off. Become more organized, focused, and competent at achieving your goals in less time, with less effort.
So, how does self-hypnosis work?
When using self-hypnosis, you'll become progressively more and more relaxed until you enter a deep, relaxed, hypnotic trance state. The deep relaxation process will distract the conscious, critical part of your mind, and while this happens, positive suggestions are given directly to the unconscious part of the mind, and this is where the fundamental changes take place. These changes then infiltrate through to the conscious mind, so that the changes experienced in the 'hypnotic' state become realities in the wakeful state. This technique is used by sports psychologists with great success and it so simple and easy to use.
Everyone responds to hypnotherapy and self-hypnosis differently, just as people do to any form of therapeutic intervention. Some will notice an instant change and for others it may take longer, but even when it feels that nothing at all has actually happened, you'll be surprised at just how much has changed, but this is only noticed in retrospect, when you look back at how you were before you started using hypnotherapy. Just give it time and don't try too hard to make it happen. You will find that the more often you use self-hypnosis, the easier it will be to achieve a very relaxed state, and the deeper the hypnotic trance state will become.
So, is self-hypnosis safe?
Hypnosis has been used for centuries and is recognized by medical practitioners in the National Health Service, where it is being successfully used to control the symptoms of IBS. It has helped millions of people to stop smoking, lose weight, and conquer their phobias and fears, such as fear of the dentist and fear of heights. Positive thoughts result in positive re-actions, which bring positive success and achievement.
When hypnotherapy is used for improving health, the process can actually affect the way the body functions. By focusing on certain biological and physiological aspects of the body, when in a state of hypnosis, it is possible to cause blood to flow better, veins to dilate, heart rate to reduce, and white blood cells counts to increase, thus improving the immune system.
Self-hypnosis is a powerful self-help tool for implementing change within your life. Hypnotherapy is simple, effective, and non-invasive, produces long-term changes, and can be used by almost everyone. You will always be in control at all times, able to awaken immediately should the need arise and attend to anything that you need to. Hypnotherapy cannot make you do anything or say anything that you would not normally say or do, and it will never coerce you to try to.
Hypnotherapy sessions often include the benefit of soothing music at strategic points, helping you to relax even more, and absorb the information while the therapist guides you with gentle suggestions, positive language, and life changing imagery.
By using self-hypnosis in a pre-recorded format such as a cd's and mp3 downloads, you will have at the touch of button, a full hypnotherapy session that can be used whenever you need to, as often as you need to. It's as simple as that.
