23. Self-Hypnosis Step 1 - Pre-Sleep Technique • When you go to bed, starting tonight, and for the next 7 days, just before you are ready to fall asleep - give yourself the following suggestions 10 times: “Every day, in every respect, I get better and better” • While your saying the suggestion, imagine yourself in any way you can, getting better and better. • In order not to fall asleep and not to lose count, every time you say the suggestion press down with each finger of your right hand. Then, continue with each finger of your left hand until you’ve completed the suggestion 10 times. • This may be your first attempt at learning to effectively program yourself through suggestion. It is of utmost importance to do this exercise every night without falling asleep until you’ve completed the 10 repetitions. • You are beginning to establish a habit pattern of properly programming yourself by giving yourself positive suggestions before going to sleep. • The next day, you’ll find yourself reacting very positively to that suggestion.
