Self-hypnosis formulas must meet the following requirements:
- Brevity. We do not think in long extended sentences, so a short phrase will be better imprinted on our consciousness. For example, the formula: «Calm» is better than «I am calm and confident in all situations.»
- Positivity. The formula must affirm, not deny. For example, the formula: «I’m not afraid of exams» can increase fear. Formulas should be applied: “I’m sure”, “I remember everything”, etc.
- Individuality. The formula is made just for you, it doesn’t have to satisfy everyone. Remember how in difficult times a phrase that only you understood helped you. If you have previously helped, for example, the word: “Everything!” in overcoming the craving for smoking, you can safely use it for autogenic modification, although it may seem pointless to another person.
