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 do you need to set a goal should you might ask? Well the answer is really very simple. Without a goal self-hypnosis just becomes meditation. Of course there is nothing wrong with meditation in fact it is very good for you. But we are talking about achieving something here.
One very good way to set a goal that is really strong is to use the S.M.A.R.T. way. What do the letters S.M.A.R.T. mean I hear you say and how can they help me set a goal? Well, S is for Specific. M is for Measurable. A for Affect. R equals Realistic. And T is for Time.
Here’s how you might go about setting a strong goal. Lets suppose your goal was to lose some weight. So using the S.M.A.R.T. formula this is what we might get:
Specific: you must make your goal specific if you want it to be strong and self-hypnosis to work for you. Now this could mean saying something like. I will loose exactly x pounds off the weight I am now.
Measurable :what does it mean here? Just this, you have got to know when you have achieved your goal. So you might say “I will stand on the scales on (add some future date) and they will show me I have lost exactly 14 pounds.”
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: its crucial that you set an achievable realistic goal. For example “I know I can lose x pounds by the (date here) because the height/weight tables show me it’s possible.
Timed: You have got to set a date by when you want to achieve your goal. For example ” On the (set date) I will be exactly 14 pounds lighter and I will feel very very proud and pleased with myself.”
So there you have it. S.M.A.R.T. and self-hypnosis all you need is your goal to achieve.
