How To Hypnotize Yourself – Some Helpful Hints

Self hypnosis is a very good way to overcome habits and addictions or simply to better yourself in certain things. What I have done here is to provide some useful hints on how to hypnotize yourself in an efficient way.

Set your goal

So you need to set your goal whatever it might be: lose 20 lbs, stop smoking, stop procrastinating. Confirm to yourself that you are going to accomplish this goal and write it down next to your bed, mirror or on your phones wake up call. In this way it will be the first thing you see when you wakeup and the last thing you see when you go to bed. Also surround yourself with motivational pictures, posters and sayings to create an atmosphere that will motivate the accomplishment of your goal.

Confirm every morning

Every morning you wake up you should look in the mirror and repeat that you are going to accomplish your goal. E.g. “I am going to lose 20lbs, today I will not snack and go for a run after work.” Keep the phrase simple and repeat it while doing a mundane task like showering or making brushing your hair.

Confirm again and visualize

This is a very critical stage because we are only human and will get the urge to snack, smoke or whatever the habit might be. It is very important when you feel the signs coming that you will crack to confirm to yourself again that you will achieve your goal and visualize yourself having already done so. Keep this positive image in your mind for as long as you can and reconfirm each break time.

Reward yourself 

I am sure you have heard there is always better results through positive reinforcement so be sure to reward yourself every time you resist the urge to continue your habit. This will create a sense of happiness that relates directly to being able to achieve your goal. It can be as simple as treating yourself to a nice book and a warm bath.
