Yesterday I was talking to someone who didn’t have a clue what hypnosis is or NLP is (Neuro-Linguistic\u00a0Programming ™) or what hypnotherapy is or even a very positive view of the human mind and human capabilities.\u00a0 They said they thought I help “losers who need their hand held while they whine.”\u00a0 Uh, no.\u00a0 Gutter ball!<\/p>\n

#1.\u00a0 There are no “losers,” there are\u00a0people who feel stuck because they\u00a0perceive limited choices in certain contexts.\u00a0 #2.\u00a0 This isn’t about story telling or hand-holding, it’s about life change and behavioral change.\u00a0 NOW.<\/p>\n

NLP is my primary tool.\u00a0It’s the study of successful thinking.\u00a0 How successful people do what they do, dissecting their UN-conscious strategies that lead to desired outcomes.\u00a0 We ALL can create new strategies that lead to success, and change our behaviors, our thinking, our lives.\u00a0 We all can model excellence.\u00a0 An easy way to do this is through hypnosis and NLP.<\/p>\n

Hypnosis is simply a method of accessing more or your own mind’s power and creativity and flexibility.\u00a0 When there’s a “problem,” there’s a strategy that needs tweaking that is essentially a lack of choice.\u00a0 See cigarette, I must smoke.\u00a0 Lack of choice.\u00a0 Smell baking cookie, I must eat it.\u00a0 Lack of choice. \u00a0\u00a0See a spider, scream and run.\u00a0 Lack of choice.<\/p>\n

Hypnosis offers new unconscious choices, that supplant the old ones, that are more desired and lead to success.<\/p>\n

That’s it, in a nutshell.\u00a0 Hypnosis.\u00a0 It’s a success builder.\u00a0 And you define the success that you’re seeking.<\/p>\n

I love what I do, and I love when someone begins to realize that they have more choices and can create their own life the way they want it.\u00a0 And, they do it!\u00a0 That’s when they write me the testimonials I have on my web pages.<\/p>\n

Here’s a simple NLP thought process that can bring a new state of mind to a problem state of mind.\u00a0 It involves the power of a few simple words to change how you’re thinking, and ultimately, what you do in the world.\u00a0 The magic of “yet.”\u00a0 That’s a\u00a0 wonderful word.\u00a0 So small, and so powerful.\u00a0 What does it mean?\u00a0 Take the following sentences in bold font and consider them fully.<\/p>\n

\u00a0I can’t do X.<\/strong>\u00a0 (X being stop smoking, or lose weight, or release fear or any statement of a limitation\u2026)\u00a0 “I can’t.”\u00a0 Full stop.\u00a0 End of story.\u00a0Nothing is beyond that conclusion.
\nIt’s a stopper thought.\u00a0 And it leads to a myriad of negative emotions.\u00a0Hopelessness, overwhelm, sad.<\/p>\n

I can’t do X, yet.<\/strong>\u00a0 The assumption, the implication here is that I will be able to do X at some time.\u00a0 Eventually, I will X.\u00a0 This little word “yet” opens doors to new possibilities, learning, and movement forward.\u00a0 And what is the feeling with this?\u00a0 Positive, motivated, optimistic.\u00a0 I can’t do X yet.\u00a0 But I will!<\/p>\n

The second response to a limiting statement of “I can’t” is “What would it be like if you could?” <\/strong>Answer the question.\u00a0 Think about it.\u00a0 Seriously.\u00a0Pretend it’s possible.\u00a0 This drives the mind in a new direction, creating images and thoughts and feelings of
\nsuccess.\u00a0 What you focus on expands.\u00a0 Now your mind is prompted to move in the
\ndirection of what you do in fact want, not dwelling within the limitation of “I can’t.”\u00a0 With this new focus, behavioral nudges and opportunities to move toward that goal just seem to appear.\u00a0 And you’re doing what you couldn’t do before.\u00a0 You hadn’t created the right
\nstate of mind and body for it.\u00a0 Yet!<\/p>\n
