Self-hypnosis has proven to be an effective tool for resolving problems
such as overeating, smoking, low self confidence, learning difficulties
and poverty consciousness. For the last thirty‑five years,
I’ve used THE SEVEN KEYS TO SELF-ACTUALIZATION.
While continuing the valid use of self-hypnosis in challenge resolution,
this system also encourages self-discovery, expansion of personal
boundaries and the learning of new skills through both the conscious
and sub conscious minds. It is a systematic program of business
and personal growth through hypnosis and life coaching, crafted
to enable you to achieve your Highest potential in every area
of your life. Below are the sort of exercises a coach might
give you.
Brainstorm goal setting: SUCCESS
COACHING
Think for a moment of some of your fondest dreams—becoming
a real success in the career of your choice, perhaps modeling
yourself on those who have created success in your field. If you
are in your own business, imagine making your business the kind
of success you dreamed of when you first started or the kind of
success you have seen in similar businesses. If you have not yet
chosen a career, you might imagine finishing your degree, educational
goals, owning a business, becoming president of a successful company,
starting a program to have a positive impact on your community.
Leave nothing off this first list, no matter how improbable
it seems at the moment. Whether your dream is passing the million
dollar point in gross sales this year or winning an Oscar, write
it down. The possibilities are endless. Each of these goals can
be accomplished directly or indirectly through the will to learn.
The author has created an audio CD titled
The Will to Learn available at author’s
web site. This, along with the determination to use your knowledge
to make your goals a reality, is the greatest gift of all. It
can be imbedded into your subconscious mind through self hypnosis.
Be specific: FOCUS
To be effective, this desire to learn must be channeled—geared
towards your specific needs rather then the gluttonous devouring
of a library. In order to channel your hunger for knowledge, make
a list of everything you want. Be specific. Don’t write
"lots of money," write a dollar amount. Don’t
write that you want to own a boat, write the kind of boat and
how big you want it. You wouldn’t take a cruise with a captain
who announced he was going... "Somewhere." How much
more important is your life than some brief trip, and yet your
destinations have probably been quite hazy most of the time.
Be thorough. Drawing a sketch or finding a picture of each goal
would be helpful. If a goal is not something you can picture,
ask yourself "Is it abstract, or is it just too vague?"
A goal must be concrete and specify a date for accomplishment
if it is to leave the dream category and move into reality. Write
down dates for specific action-steps for each goal, by month and
year.
Prioritize: IS IT WORTH THE EFFORT?
Decide first how time-consuming each goal will be. Is becoming a doctor worth eight years of graduate and medical school, and the accompanying huge debt? If not, cross it off. Be sure you have thought out what each goal will require of you before committing yourself to it. If you are not sure what is involved in completing a goal on your list, research it. The action-steps for accomplishing each goal must be specific enough to go in your appointment calendar—and if you don't have an appointment calendar, get one now.
Evidence Procedure: HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU’VE GOT IT?
You must have an evidence procedure for knowing when each action-step and the goal itself have been accomplished. Will you see a balance of $50,000 dollars in your savings account? Will you receive the keys to your new home? Will you step on a ship for a cruise around the world with someone you love? Acknowledge and delight in the accomplished goal so you can build on that success to reach new goals. You want to own your own business. What kind of business? Will establishing it require book learning, experience, money—all three? How will you get these? Inquire into the steps used by somebody who already accomplished this particular goal. Get that information from biographies, autobiographies or, best yet, an interview with the person himself.
You can and will learn to do whatever is necessary to achieve your goals. Take as much time as necessary for making the list, researching it, and modifying it. Include only those items you are positive you want and are willing to strive for.
Now put your goals into your subconscious mind:
HOW TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS THROUGH SELF HYPNOSIS
It can be done through audio CDs such as my “ABUNDANCE
YOUR MONEY AND MORE MAGNET” (which
can be down loaded free of charge at www.acesuccess.com),
by a hypnotist (live or by phone), or on your own. You can
relax from head to toe while breathing deeply and regularly. Then
give yourself the suggestions:
“I enjoy setting goals, creating action steps to accomplish
those goals, reviewing and updating the goals and action steps
regularly, celebrating the accomplishment of my goals and setting
new ones. I enjoy learning what I need to know to make my goals
a reality. It feels good to learn, it feels good to use the knowledge
to accomplish my goals. Inset goals for success and joy in every
area of my life--physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual as
well as material and financial. I make time for success and time
to relax and enjoy that success. The word success refers to reaching
the goals I have set in every area of your life as I build financial
and material wealth, mental excellence and greater use of your
whole brain... Emotional balance and joyous, fulfilling relationships...
Physical health and fitness...Spiritual growth and an ever deeper
consciousness of my oneness with the universal force as I conceive
it to be. I draw from this force strength, wisdom, power, energy
and abundance. I feel a profound sense of gratitude for the abundance
flowing into your life and for the opportunity to serve others
with the best that is in you. Learn now to live life to the fullest,
enjoying and delighting in every part of it. My goals are in complete
alignment with my values and my highest vision of the person I
am becoming. I move towards the accomplishment of my goals with
a feeling of rightness, meaning and purpose in my life.”
Here’s to your success!
