Can Self Hypnosis Help Me Reach My Goals And Break Bad Habits?

August 26th, 2010

Is self hypnosis effective? Do you have goals you want reach? Are you interested in improving yourself? Can I really break those bad habits? To the answers to these and other self hypnosis questions read further.

Self hypnosis is usually thought of as a person listening to some type of mass-produced media, intended to induce a willingness to absorb suggestions centered around a specific topic such as weight loss, stop smoking, etc. Unfortunately, this kind of hypnosis is generally taught by someone who has never met the person being self hypnotized.

For example, if you sunburn easily, that last thing you want to hear about is a slow walk on a hot beach. In this case, the “self” in self hypnosis simply means that you listen to it by yourself. How do you incorporate self improvement to hypnosis? To be able to go about self improvement, there are certain aspects in you that should be addressed. Using hypnosis, the negative aspects that are serving as hindrances to improvement must be removed entirely.

To be really effective self hypnosis should necessarily be designed and created by the very person who will ultimately use and benefit from it. Unlike the mass-produced hypnosis, this self hypnosis is made for the exact purpose the person desires, including the exact words and phrases that mean the most to that particular person.

The true self hypnosis is thus crafted by the person to suit his or her own needs. The benefits derived could only be accomplished with such a personal, one-of-a-kind hypnosis. In this case, the “self” in self hypnosis really does mean that you are hypnotized by yourself!

Below is a short view of the self hypnotic process. Though lots of variations of this method have been used, these are the basic steps you have to go through in order to hypnotize yourself to accomplish self improvement.

1. Position your goals from the most important goal to the less important. If possible, your goals should be measurable.

2. For each goal, you should formulate fitting suggestions which means you have to convert your goals into specific instructions to your subconscious mind on how to achieve each goal.

3. Use the first minutes of your self hypnosis session to get as relaxed as you possibly can. Try to forget about all your worries and problems.

4. Start your hypnotic initiation phase by saying and repeating out loud the hypnotic words you have chosen, thinking of these words or listening to a hypnotic tape or CD customized for your hypnotic needs.

Before you start up your self hypnotic exercises you should make a time schedule for it. Do your hypnotic sessions every day, five minutes a day is enough. Repeat your suggestions as often as possible during the day. Measure your progress towards reaching your goals. Are you closer to your goal now than you were before you started? Ask yourself.

If you answer negative to these questions, you have to rethink and reorganize your train of thoughts. This is the only way you can find out if this method is really helping you in achieving your self improvement goals. If you want more help. There are good sites out there. I suggestamazing hypnosis resources. Self improvement is now within your reach.

Todd Schuyler writes about topics that will encourage you to reach your goals. Do you want to use the power of self hypnosis to stop bad habits or self improvement? You need to visit self hypnosis success secrets to learn how to self hypnotize powerfully.

Business Successes With Help From Goal Planning

July 16th, 2010

All the people creates them, knowingly and unknowingly “goals” Some goals are lofty and well-thought-out such goals in school and business (get a raise by the end of the year, graduate with a 3.5 GPA), goals in relationships (be married by age 30), and goals in life (watch the Northern Lights in Alaska) are easy to quantify, to write down, to dream and to imagine. Other goals are implied and subconscious; such goals in business (commute to work without incident), goals in relationships (find someone to spend New Year’s Eve with), and goals in life (leave this world a better place) may be harder to express.

Speedread America knows that you are more than just the business person dressing for success every morning; you’re not just a stay-at-home mom with little ones underfoot. You are a complete person who does not spend every waking moment working” or, if you do, you don’t want to spend your life working every moment of the day. Who you and what you do touches every single aspect of your life” your business life touches your social life; your social life touches your home life; your home life has a great impact on your spiritual life (whatever it may be); and your spiritual life determines how you perform in the rest of your life.

We humans consider ourselves successful in life when our objectives are achieved. Consciously or not, we determine our own success” in small things (getting to work safely) and large things (going back to college, start a business, start a family)”by meeting our stated or unstated goals.

Because goal planning “whether conscious or not” is mandatory for success, we have included many sections on exactly how to identify “and achieve” your objectives in our speed reading books. Our Speed Read Complete Family Edition teaches you how to read in a new way which allows you to read two to three “or even more” times faster than you can now. In addition, we also give you the tools you need to plan your goals.

To determine your personal goals, you simply need to look at what success means to you in your career, education, lifestyle, home life, spiritually, in a word: in everything. In our Speed Read Complete Family Edition, you will spend quite a bit of time and effort on goal planning and learning the keys to be successful not just in increasing the number of words read in a certain time frame, but in life. Reading is essential to life in today’s world, but if you simply learn to speed read without a goal as to how to use your new knowledge, you will soon lose your new skills.

At SpeedRead America, we know you are more than your business or school persona, and “success” in business may not necessarily mean success in life. At SpeedRead America, we are determined to help you to be not only a more successful business person, but a more successful human being, no matter where you may live.

How To Line Up Your Success With Your Values

June 21st, 2010

If you are working towards the achievement of a goal it is important to know how that goal fits in with your values. To know this, you will need to listen to your intuition, but there are some times when you will plough ahead without thinking carefully about what you really want. That is where an internal values check can help, because you don’t want to waste your time and money going after something that isn’t going to best suit your needs.

Before you embark on any significant change, ask yourself these important questions:

What might be the upside consequences of my actions? What might be the downside consequences of my actions? What extra will I have do to achieve my goal? How much will it cost in terms of time and resources? Is it worth the price? What do I like about my current situation? How can I keep the aspects of my life that I like while I make the change?

Your friends and family also can impact your success because if what you want to achieve doesn’t fit well with them you will be criticized and might not achieve your best. In the worst case you could even lose a friend or lose contact with a family member if they strongly disagree with your choices, and that might not be what you had intended. On the other hand, if you really want something you won’t care what your friends and family think, but you can at least brace yourself for some conflict.

To check how your goal might affect other people in your life, ask yourself these questions:

How will this change affect my loved ones? Does it go against any of their values? How will they react?

Once you have considered your goal from the perspective of time, money and relationships you’re ready to go. Get started and achieve your goal!

Using Motivational And Inspirational Quotes To Quickly Attain Your Goals

June 17th, 2010

Changing our day-to-day behaviors could possibly be easier than previously imagined. By meditating on and repeating motivational and inspirational quotes, we become better prepared to change our thought patterns, behaviors also, change our lives.

Here’s how it’s done.

If we believe something to be easy, we find little, if any struggle in attaining it. However, if we imagine something to be hard to accomplish, then our struggle becomes more apparent. In fact, if we imagine that it is hard to change a specific behavior, then we will always find experiences that will justify that belief.

Take this for example. We wake up one morning and decide that:

“This is the day I start losing weight. When things get difficult, I will not reach for junk food, but instead I will focus on something else to keep my mind occupied. It’ll be tough at first, but I’m going to give it a try.”

If you continue with this thought pattern and belief, don’t be surprised to find yourself struggling more often than not. Why?

If we look at this example closely we find a couple of thought patterns and beliefs already in place. We have determined to do something good for ourselves, but we do ourselves a disservice by choosing certain negative thought patterns, beliefs and words that go along with it.

We have said,

“When things get difficult….”

(This is already assuming that there will be difficult moments! Strike one!)

“It’ll be tough at first…”

(This is already assuming it will be difficult at first! Strike two!)

“…but I’m going to give it a try.”

(Remember the movie “The Karate Kid”…”There is no “try”, there is only “do”. Strike three!)

Now there are hundreds of products out there that will assist people in shedding pounds. Some, if not all of them, may work for various people at various stages of their goal. But for many people who have convinced themselves that losing weight is difficult, some products may fall short when our thought patterns are stronger than our desire to alter.

Here is something that I’ve done to change a behavior I no longer desired.

I recently lost 20lbs in about 12 weeks. I didn’t like the way I looked, felt or even thought for that matter. I needed to change and take some action towards it.

First, I realized that I had to change my way of thinking about slimming down. My old thought patterns were no longer working for me. My thoughts were like little tiny pictures that I projected in my mind of how heavy I was. I no longer wanted these pictures or thought patterns a part of my life. I had to choose a thought pattern and belief that would be easier to think about.

I chose this thought,

“Losing weight is easier than I thought.”

Perhaps not the most ideal for everybody but it worked for me.

Secondly, I chose a word I wanted to focus on for that day, week or month to help me in attaining my goal (Start with just a day, or just an hour for that matter. Keep it simple.) The word I chose needed to be in relation to the change I want to make. For example, I chose the word “FOCUS”, as I felt that that’s what I needed to think about most of time; focusing more on shedding pounds than gaining it. Choose any word as long as it relates to your situation. (Attitude, Energy, Action, Believe…)

Following that, I scoured the Internet for motivational and inspirational quotes that resonated within me that related to that specific word I chose. Quotes that I could remember, especially ones that really spoke to what I wanted to accomplish.

But here’s the most important part.

I needed quotes that were powerful enough to alter my thought patterns the moment I read them. Quotes that REALLY spoke to me when I my eyes fell upon them. Quotes that forced me to pause and think for a moment. Quotes that had that extra “edge” where my mind said, “Yes. This is one.”

These are all signs of a quote that held power for me. I “focused” in on the following quotes.

“All that we become is the result of what we have thought.” Buddha

“The only way to discover the limits of the possible, is to go beyond them into them impossible.” Arthur C. Clarke

“It’s not what you achieve in the end that matters, it’s who you become in the process.” Author Unknown

In fact, I found dozens of quotes that I resorted to from time to time, but these three I always came back to. They spoke of who I was, what I wanted to accomplish and who I wanted to become as I worked towards my goal.

I wrote them down. I carried these quotes with me constantly. I read them and meditated on them whenever I had the opportunity to. At work, home or at the gym (yup, I finally got myself to exercise, primarily by focusing on Arthur C. Clarke’s quote!), I focused on these three powerful quotes to help me FOCUS on what I wanted.

Because I changed my thought patterns, over time, I can honestly say I am 20 lbs lighter and a whole lot happier. I can honestly say I am 20 lbs lighter and a whole lot happier. Yes, I’ll be the first to admit that attaining the goal involved more than just thinking but it all began with my thoughts. The thoughts then permeated into my actions. (Now I need to FOCUS on maintaining that weight, so for me a whole new thought pattern begins.)

Here are the three steps again:

1. Decided to change your way of thinking about a behavior, making it easier for you to think about it. Phrase it in a simple way.

2. Choose a word to focus on to alter that behavior for a period of time.

3. Find a minimum of three motivational or inspirational quotes related to that specific word that are powerful enough to alter your current thought patterns the moment you read them. Meditate on them and repeat them, silently or out loud, every chance you get.

Be patient. Stick with it. Give it some time.

Why do you think companies offer a 30-day money back guarantee? They know that if you do something for 30 days it becomes a habit and you no longer need to return it! (Learned something, huh?) Give it time.

The first step to what you want to accomplish is changing your mind and the thought patterns and beliefs associated with your behavior. Thoughts are the precursor to action, meaning that thoughts occur before any action takes place. That’s what needs to be changed first. Your thoughts.

It worked for me and I hope this inspires and motivates you to accomplish your goal.

Think positive.

Clarify Your Goals for Greater Success

January 19th, 2010

Having clearly defined goals, especially written down, is necessary to ensure your success. Your greatest desires should become your goals, which you should clearly define. Don’t just say “I want to be rich”. State exactly how much money you want to attain, and by what date you want to attain it.

Make sure you write them down to solidify those desires in your subconscious. This will focus both your conscious and subconscious mind toward achieving your goals. It will also help you to turn them into a workable plan. Doing that will also motivate you as you read over them, and I suggest you do that daily.

Follow these tips in order to clarify your goals:

1. Figure out your ultimate goal. What, exactly, do you want?

* Example - Instead of setting a goal to be wealthy. Be specific about how wealthy you want to be. Say “I want a job, I enjoy that pays me a $2,000 a week after taxes and other deductions.”

2. Don’t be afraid of detail. You make the ultimate decision on what you want. Just don’t be afraid to set the details. Avoid goals like “I want to be rich” because there is no detail.

* How much money do you want to make?
* What will you do with the money when you receive it?
* How do you want?
* When do you want to receive this money?
* What can you do to make this a reality?

3. Break up your goals. When you stare at the ultimate goal, it may seem intimidating and unattainable. It’s important to break up your main goal into smaller goals. Write out detailed plans about how you’ll reach each of the smaller goals.

* For example, if you want to write a book, make an outline, and then define your character, places and conflict. Don’t just start blindly writing.

4. Set a deadline! By establishing a deadline you can no longer simply say I’ll do it tomorrow. By giving yourself attainable deadlines it will allow you to see progress, which it turn will make you less likely to give up on your main goal.

5. Keep track. Make detailed notes about what you have done so far. Keeping track of your progress will help you stay organized and on top of your goals.

Get and Stay Organized

Being organized is another key to success. You should use whatever system works best for you. Whether writing in journals, or using Microsoft Word or some other word processor, you will need to keep detailed records. Just remember to back up and save if you use word processors.

Regardless, of how you choose to get and stay organized allow yourself time to reasonably achieve your goals small and big. Set goals and time frames that are possible to reach don’t make it so demanding that you give up the first week. Stick with it and you will see that by having clear goals they will lead you to success.

Be Blessed & EXPECT SUCCESS,
Terry

Work Worth Doing

Once again the great lady, Gretchen Rubin, over at the Happiness Project gave me a post idea.
