Self-hypnotism is the art of hypnotising yourself and is actually a very easy thing to do. All you are required to do is follow a some simple steps. You then just repeat these steps every day until you have achieved your goal.
The first and most crucial step you must take is to decide what your goal is. Remember the stronger your goal the better when practicing self-hypnosis.
Why should I set a goal you may ask? Well the answer to that is without a goal there is no point in practicing self-hypnosis. Self-hypnosis without a goal can just be called meditation. Meditation is fine and a very good thing to practice. but this article is about goals and how achieve them.
Now one of the the best ways to create a really strong goal is by using the S.M.A.R.T. system. So what do the letters S.M.A.R.T. stand for and could the system work for you? Well, S.= Specific; M.= Measurable; A.= Affect; R.= Realistic; T.= Time
Lets say your goal was to loose some weight for example. So how would you set your goal using the S.M.A.R.T. way?
Specific: a strong goal has got to be specific. The more specific you make your goal the easier it will be for self-hypnosis to help you to achieve it. So specific could be “I will shed exactly x pounds of my current weight”.
Measurable: what does measurable mean. Well when you set a goal you need to know when you have achieved it. So you could say “I will get on the scales on (add a date here) and they will show me I have lost x pounds exactly.”
Affect: your goal must effect your life in some way once you’ve achieved it. So you could say ” I will feel fantastic and very proud of myself on the (date here) when I get on the scales and they show me I’ve lost exactly x pounds”.
Realistic: your goal has got to be realistic you have got to be able to achieve it. An example might be ” I know I will be able to lose 14 pounds because I have checked my height/weight ratio and losing 14pounds is realistic.”
Timed: its essential to set an exact date when you want to achieve your goal. An example might be ” On the (date here) I will have shed x pounds off my weight and I will feel so pleased and proud of myself.”
And that’s it. S.M.A.R.T. and self-hypnosis will make it certain that you will achieve your goal.
