Читать книгу Personal Development With Success Ingredients - Mo Abraham - Страница 195

Successful people rarely spend a lot of time dwelling on how things will go wrong. Instead, they picture, think about and visualize things going right. Of course, things don't always go right, but when they go wrong, successful people are able to throw off those disappointments and move right on to the next venture.

This is a skill, not something inborn – unless you're too lucky. Most of us are naturally programmed to dwell on the negative aspects of life, and anticipate them. This seems like a good way to prepare for disappointments, but in reality it actually draws disappointment and failure.

Hypnosis is a set of techniques designed to enhance concentration, minimize usual distractions, and heighten responsiveness to suggestions to alter our thoughts, feelings, behavior, or physiological state. People differ in the degree to which they respond to hypnosis. The key to becoming hypnotized is the extent to which a person is hypnotizable.

Hypnotism works by reaching a relaxed state whereby it is possible to sink deeper into our minds and rewrite or reprogram our subconscious.

Through physical and mental relaxation, self-hypnosis can allow you to bypass your conscious minds and introduce positive thoughts and ideas into your unconscious. Upon ‘awakening’ from the hypnotic state, the new thoughts and ideas in the subconscious will affect the conscious mind and can lead to changed behaviours. Hypnotherapy is not a ‘quick fix,’ such methods require persistence and practice in order for the subconscious mind to pick up and apply the new messages.

For self-hypnosis or hypnotherapy to work successfully you must approach the process with an open mind. Therefore you need to:

•WANT to be hypnotized.

•Not be overly skeptical.

•Not be scared of being hypnotized.

•Not over-analyze the processes involved.

You should also be aware of why you are about to use self-hypnosis and what messages you want to give yourself – what ideas you wish to plant into your subconscious. Work on some short statements that you are going to use when you reach a hypnotic state, and make sure that such statements are:

•Genuine and Honest.

•Positive.

•Simple, Short and Very Straightforward.
