If you are struggling with an issue in your life or have a challenge standing in the way of your success then it's time to take back control by doing self-hypnosis before going to sleep. In life, there are so many demands placed upon us that very rarely do we have the time to devote to doing self-hypnosis throughout the day. However, we all have time at night as we enter that private space inside of ourselves when we lay down to sleep.
When we are lying down and unwinding from the day, our brainwaves naturally begin to slow down without any effort on our parts. As your brainwaves slow down and your body relaxes, your mind continuously becomes more and more suggestible to your self-talk and suggestions. This makes it the perfect time to spend a few minutes doing self-hypnosis since your brainwaves are already conducive to the hypnotic state. It's time to take advantage of this natural hypnotic state to condition your mind for success in any area of your life. You can improve something very specific such as increasing motivation to achieve weight reduction goals or perhaps wake up in the morning with more energy. Other times you may just want to improve your general well-being or increase your overall feeling of self-confidence this also can be achieved during this time before bed. The process is very simple yet extremely powerful.
Tonight when you lay down for bed, take a few deep breaths, slowly exhale, and let your body relax as you normally do. Once you have done that, close your eyes, and simply begin giving yourself positive suggestions directed towards your goals. Pretend that you are a great coach or the ideal parent that is motivating, encouraging, and loving. For example, if you desire to lose weight you might suggest to yourself, "Everyday I am getting healthier. It is easy for me to make healthy choices. I value my body and only find healthy things attractive and appealing to me. I can achieve my goals. This is easy for me. I am more motivated every day." You can also come up with a simple mantra to repeat again and again so that it gets deeply conditioned into the mind. Some possible mantras for weight reduction are "I eat less and feel fuller" "Every day and in every way I am getting healthier and healthier" "I am slim and trim" "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels" In my next blog, I will specifically teach you how to write effective suggestions so that it will be easier than ever to reach your goals through self-hypnosis.
Let me conclude by strongly suggesting that you take advantage of this natural hypnotic state and begin programming your mind for success before sleeping. After a few weeks of this practice, you will be so proud of all your improvements and feel a sense of unbreakable confidence knowing that you are the boss of your mind!
