How do I create my own Self-Hypnosis Program? • Assessment • Set Goals • Practice Self-Hypnosis • Create Your Dream
Situation Assessment • Behavior: What am I currently doing to regarding the situation? • Affect: What are my emotions regarding the situation? • Sensations: Physical symptoms related to my behavior? • Imagery: How do I image myself related to my behavior? • Cognition: What are my thoughts related to my behavior?
Goal Setting • Buying-in – Understanding the concept and accepting it. • Personal Motivation – What are the Benefits? • Creating A Goal Image – What kind of person do you want to become? • Programming the Goal Image into the Subconscious – Identify and merge with your goal image. • Resisting Temptation – Triumph over temptation! • Achieving Your Goals – Experience the feelings of pride and self-respect that are realized when the temptations are resisted and the goal is reached.
Suggestions are at the Beginning of the Chain that Directs Our Lives • Suggestions • Beliefs • Feelings • Attitudes • Behaviors • Success / Failure
Reinforcement and Encouragement Our behavior is controlled – knowingly or unknowingly, positively or negatively - by reinforcement and encouragement
Encouragement is a Motivational Tool • Manipulates an individual’s drive • May be internal or external
Positive Suggestions • Conscious • Goal directed • Encompass desired results • Avoid difficulties
Positive Suggestion Management We can turn the chain of events to our advantage through conscious effort to manage our suggestions, reinforcing goal directed habits, and encouraging ourselves.
Creating Suggestions and Affirmations • Positive in tone • Simple – in sentence form • Believable • Measurable • In present tense • Rewarding “Every day at 7:00 a.m. I ride my bike for 20 minutes and feel healthy and strong.”
Three Factors of Influence • Letting go • Focused Suggestions • Reinforcement
Facilitation The acceptance of one suggestion always leads to the acceptance of another.
Grading • Suggestions are accepted more readily if they are graded from low to high difficulty. • Easy suggestions come before hard ones. • As you develop suggestion skills, increase the difficulty a little at a time.
Expectancy • If you believe in the positive result, you are in a state of expectancy. • It may be a firm belief or a vague feeling that this thing will happen. • Your expectancy that the suggestion will work plays a major role in goal achievement.
Step 3 - Programmed Suggestion • 1. The third step in self- hypnosis is started one week after you complete the exercises for Step 2. Once you start Step 3, you no longer have to do Step 2. • 2. For Step 3, you need a 3x5 card or a business card, which you can easily carry with you at all times. You are to write the suggestion you’ve prepared for yourself, which meets the criteria of being Positive, Simple, Believable, Measurable – and it should carry a Reward. Always state your suggestion in the present tense. • 3. Again, sit down and choose a spot opposite you, slightly above eye level. Hold the card in front of the spot and read the suggestion to yourself three times. • Make sure the words on the card are believable to you and allow yourself to imagine accomplishing what is written on the card. Use your imagination.
Step 3 - Programmed Suggestion(continued) • 4. You’ve written your suggestion on a card – chosen your spot – read the suggestion to yourself three times – now, drop the card and take your first deep breath. Exhale. Take your second deep breath. Exhale. Now take your third deep breath – hold it – close your eyes – count backward from 3 to 1. Exhale, and go deep into hypnosis. • 5. At this point, instead of counting backward from 25 to 1, allow the suggestion to repeat over and over in your subconscious mind. At the same time, imagine that you are carrying out your suggestion. • You’ll find that at times the words start to break up and become fragmented. That’s perfectly okay. The important words or phrases will come through to you. • In approximately 2- 3 minutes you’ll have a feeling it’s time to stop and wake up. (Note: this time was set when you established a habit pattern in Step 2.) At this point, just count forward: 1…2…3… open your eyes and go about your business, feeling refreshed and relaxed in every way.
Reinforcement Scripts • Teach participants how to write reinforcement scripts to encourage themselves daily.
