Lesson 8 Setting Your Mind Before an Activity

Most people think that hypnosis is about going to a session and letting a hypnotist take you into a deep trance and do his thing to help you quit smoking or whatever. This is only part of it. The biggest part is you using self hypnosis thoroughout your day. People say: Have a good day. What we are talking about here is building a good day. This lesson will help you set your mind before doing an activity such as: school, work sports, meeting someone, taking a test.

Before Activity Program
A. Peace or strong SH short version

** You can also just use a RAP.

What kind of activities? Just about any. Walking into the gym. Starting work. Eating. Studying. Before stressful situations. Walking in your front door.

What is my intent today? That's for you to figure out. Gym workout ideas: I complete my whole workout or I bench press 225 pounds. As you walk into work you need to figure out your intent. I sell 1,000 widgets today or I ship all the orders today. Note this is for today.

What kind of positive suggestions? Use simple ones. Gym: I complete my workout today. My body is full of energy. I complete all my exercises.

What adjustments are you talking about? Work (for people who get angry or stressed out): I visualize a small faucet in my mind. When I turn it on a soothing liquid washes any anger and frustrations away.

PROGRAM
Sometime at home develop your before work program. Write down your intent. As you walk from your car to work go thru the steps.

Lesson 9 Finding Blocks - The Journal

Our inner mind is made up of ++++'s and ----'s. We will be happier and achieve our goals faster if we add some positives and remove some negatives on a daily basis. What are these negatives? What do they do? Where do they come from? They come from past defeats, childhood experiences, learned behaviors, parents, peers, stress, anger and health problems are the most common ones.

First we have to find them. The best time is when they surface and send you messages and urges: I want some ice cream. I'm too tired. I'm no good. Start keeping a journal. It may be written or not. We want to find the patterns. These negative will do whatever it can to stop you from achieving your goal.

If your goal is to lose weight and you get messages to snack get the facts. If you are a salesperson and you get: I can't make that call or you find yourself stalling, get the facts. Look for the patterns. You may be surprised. Once we start seeing the patterns we get an idea of what we are up against.

PATTERN FORM
Where: Work
When: Break time
What was going on: I am behind schedule. I won't get it done on time. My boss will yell at me. I want a snickers bar.
What I did: I used peace SH.

PROGRAM
Keep a journal for your goal. It's best if it's written down each time but if you can't make a mental note. You can set for yourself when. For example, when you have a desire or when you actually eat the chips.
