Readers and friends, I welcome you to the pages of my blog. In this article, we will talk about how to change yourself for the better. Have you ever wondered why plans, desires and dreams in most cases do not come true? There can be many reasons. The main thing is to understand that the responsibility for a person’s life lies with him. We are able to change ourselves and the surrounding reality. I was convinced of this personally, using self-hypnosis and active self-hypnosis. Below I share with you the secrets to attracting positive changes that 100% work.
How to bring about positive change?
In order to bring about changes in oneself with the power of thought, it is necessary to focus on the desired reality. The main mistake is to worry about how things are at the current moment in time.
Positive change happens when you let go of reality and ignore how others see you. Of course, you should not go to extremes. But if any of your friends, relatives or acquaintances convinces you of the futility of your desires or is doubtful about trying to change for the better, it is better not to take it seriously.
Perhaps someone will say that ignoring unpleasant reality is a way to hide from problems or wearing “rose-colored glasses”. However, soberly looking situations in the face and obediently accepting the blows of fate, we definitely will not be able to live happily.
And now we forget all the bad things, put on “rose-colored glasses” and boldly move on. Below I will talk about techniques that direct thoughts in the right direction and make them a powerful means to an end.
Method 1. Balloon
One of the easiest, but, nevertheless, effective methods of self-hypnosis. I use it every day before bed. It helps to get rid of negative thoughts, makes sleep deep and calm, relieves nightmares.
The essence of this method is simple and understandable even for a beginner. It is necessary to imagine a deflated balloon above your head. Next, you need to take a deep slow breath. As you exhale, mentally fill the ball with your anxieties and problems. Negative thoughts that prevent you from falling asleep for a long time are also placed in a balloon.
When the balloon is full, you need to exhale and take another deep breath. Then, on exhalation, the ball is mentally released, floats away and disappears into the darkness. So you can get rid of apathy, sadness, melancholy and depression.
Method 2. Affirmations — an easy way to achieve what you want
At first, it is difficult for beginners to master psychotechnics. The best place to start is with affirmations. This is a multiple repetition of formulas. A short and positively colored phrase fixes the installation in the brain. After a while, reality is transformed in accordance with the meaning of the affirmation.
In practice, it looks like this: out loud or to yourself, you say that your desire has come true. For example, “I am slim”, “my body is athletic and toned”, “I have an interesting job”, “I am happy”, “I love and I am loved”, “I feel great”, etc. d.
Learning affirmations is not required. Formulas are repeated many times a day. At the same time, you can do the usual things. I repeated phrases with positive attitudes during short breaks at work, riding public transport, exercising at the gym. From personal experience I will say that it really adds strength, optimism and the desire to achieve more.
One type of affirmation is gratitude. This is a powerful feeling that encourages you to do more useful things and feel important. It may seem strange to you, but start thanking the Universe for what you do not yet have, but you really want it to be. No, it’s not nonsense. This method works on technology from the contrary.
If you are unsuccessfully trying to lose weight, every day say: «Thank you, Lord, for my harmony.» If you lack courage and confidence, thank God that you have them.
Method 3. Visualization — a powerful form of self-hypnosis
After mastering affirmations, you can move on to the next step — visualization. It is the idea and experience of desired changes in life.
Have you ever wondered why it’s nice to dream? This happens because the brain does not distinguish between real and imagined events. When experiencing or visualizing the achievement of a goal, positive emotions arise. The brain remembers them, and it becomes easier for you to implement changes.
For me, visualization is a pleasant daily ritual. You must learn to enjoy the process, remember this state and live as if what you imagined has already come true. This will happen soon.
I have compiled visualization rules that will help you achieve the maximum effectiveness of self-hypnosis:
- It is necessary to form visual attitudes in a comfortable and calm environment. The perfect time to be at home alone. At the same time, nothing distracts you. Silence also means a lot.
- It is important to take a comfortable body position. The body should relax so that you hardly feel it.
- It is necessary to form as clear and vivid a mental image as possible. So the brain reacts faster to visualization
- The main thing is to have fun. Visualization is effective only if it brings joy and causes positive mental and physical sensations.
Un
There is no universal guide to visualization. Everyone has their own secrets of forming visual images of what they want. I just shared mine with you. Start visualizing and soon you will discover many new and beautiful things in yourself.
Method 4. Immersion in a meditative state
Above visualization is meditation. This is contemplation penetrating deep into the subject. The essence of an idea can only be grasped by focusing on one factor and excluding all others.
If you are not familiar with this method, then you will have to work hard. But the result is worth it. I have experienced from my own experience how difficult it is to turn off attention from your own thoughts and external stimuli in order to concentrate on the most important. However, it is possible.
Meditation is divided into 4 stages:
- installation formation;
- immersion in the void;
- transferring a given installation into itself;
- return to reality with the installation embedded in the subconscious.
For me, meditation is an opportunity to be born again and be whoever you want to be. If the first time it was not possible to transfer the installation to the subconscious, try the next day, etc. It is most effective to meditate immediately after waking up. At this time, the brain is minimally loaded with information.
By the way, with the help of meditation it is possible to deceive the lie detector.
Method 5. Self-hypnosis — the highest level of self-regulation
Self-hypnosis can be started after the confident mastering of meditation. When you learn to dive into the essence of things and focus on the main factors, you will be ready for a journey into the subconscious. The inner world is fraught with many mysteries and a huge power that can radically change life for the better.
Before entering self-hypnosis, you need to relax. Feel the tension leaving your body from the top of your head to the tips of your fingers and toes. Then you need to enter a state of peace. Only after that you can proceed to the main part.
Say the phrase «I am a deep sleep …». Speak slowly and deliberately. Take a deep breath. As you exhale, count from 5 to 0. Feel how you break away from reality and fly into boundless hypnotic oblivion. The vast and unknown world meets you and strikes you with its depth. Then, after counting «zero», once again voice the key phrase «I am a deep sleep …». Look around, you are in your subconscious. What do you see there that you would like to see?
The main goal of self-hypnosis is self-programming. After plunging into darkness, we move on to this stage. Being in the middle of yourself, you can lay down positive installations for changes for the better. Here, affirmations are combined with visualization, and the whole image of the desired reality is fixed deep in the subconscious.
