At 50,000 thoughts per day, as the National Science Foundation suggests, your thoughts really do determine your daily success.
Did you know that 95% of the thoughts you have today are the very same thoughts you had yesterday and the day before etc.
How did your repetitive thoughts start?
From age zero to 12 your mind is a sponge. We take everything literally. Whether it’s good or bad, right or wrong, accurate or inaccurate.
Things become familiar and we don’t really question them.
Then around the age of 12 you start to develop critical thinking. A filter that allows you to be more discerning about what enters into your subconscious mind and what doesn’t.
You start to develop your will power and logic at this stage but most of your programming is already in there.
WHY YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS BELIEFS CREATE MOST OF YOUR RESULTS:
The subconscious mind is responsible for 88-95% of our mental power and our conscious mind is only responsible for 5-12% so if we decide to make a change in our lives, unless our subconscious is on board with it, it’s going to be the 5% trying to override the 95%. Guess who wins.
WHY NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS OFTEN DON’T WORK:
A classic example of this phenomena at play is the huge numbers of people who join the gym in January and by February are back on the couch eating potato chips.
Their conscious desire just couldn’t continuously override the pull of the comfort zone, and the influence of the automatic thoughts that prefer the couch over doing crunches.
This is why most of us need expert guidance to make substantive change. Changes that rapidly transform your results must be planted and allowed to take firm root in the subconscious where all these repetitive thoughts reside. Hypnosis is an efficient way to change automatic thoughts.
HOW TO EXERCISE MIND OVER MATTER:
When I was a teen, my dad, a Colonel in the Australian Army and amateur showman, used to hypnotize me to entertain dinner guests.
He’d have me lie across 3 dining room chairs. One chair at the top of my head, one at my heels and one in the middle. He’d then induce what’s called Total Body Catalepsy and pull out the middle chair. I would remain suspended between the other 2 chairs a “physical impossibility.” This is literally mind over matter.
Therapeutic hypnosis is less entertaining but equally impressive in the results it can generate.
What is hypnosis?
It is a state of relaxed, focused attention, reduced peripheral awareness and increased capacity to respond to suggestion.
We are in a hypnotic trance a lot of the time. It’s a natural state. If you’ve ever driven home and realized when you pulled into the driveway, that you don’t recall the drive, that’s called highway hypnosis. You were on auto-pilot and the subconscious was in charge of the wheel.
If you’ve ever zoned out in front of the tv, then you’ve experienced hypnosis and it’s one of the reasons you should be careful what you watch on the tube or at the movies.
Changing your deep seated thoughts and beliefs:
What hypnotherapy does is takes that receptive relaxed state and uses it to embrace powerful changes by challenging old ingrained ideas and adjusting your subconscious belief systems. When your imagination is sparked at the deep levels of your mind it becomes easy to create change and impact your results.
Building the bridge:
The hypnotist guides the client, facilitates the connection between the conscious and the subconscious mind and opens up what we call a bridge. Once the connection is made it is possible to resolve underlying concerns and embrace new resourceful states of mind.
A very easy demonstration of a bridge mechanism is that by the time you have finished reading this sentence you will be consciously aware of your breathing, which is usually a subconscious process until you think about it.
Individual and team results:
When we combine this powerful modality with coaching tools that facilitate clarity, innovative thinking, smart decision making and strategic planning, you can create unprecedented professional, financial and personal outcomes.
This kind of work can be done with individuals or groups. So if you know that some of your automatic thoughts are getting in the way of achieving the level of success and satisfaction you desire and you want to quickly and effectively transform them, I invite you to connect.
