How To Create The Motivation To Quickly Eliminate Harmful Behaviors Using Hypnosis & Nlp

By:




Did you ever try to get rid of a harmful behavior, only to be unsuccessful? There is list of universal problem behaviors that people often try to alter or eliminate using hypnotherapy. Possibly the most common are: Overeating and weight loss; stop smoking; quit chewing tobacco; stop nail biting; increasing self-confidence; overcoming insomnia and sleeping better; improving memory; and managing stress.

WHAT THE MIND CAUSES, THE MIND CAN CURE: The motivation for our behaviors starts in our thoughts. If you stop and think about it, all of these destructive behaviors are the consequence of negative thinking. In other words, you think and motivate yourself into all of these behaviors. Or at least you think yourself into feeling worried, and that can result in these behaviors. And since you think and motivate yourself into these behaviors, you can think and motivate yourself out of them. But in order to successfully think and motivate yourself out of these behaviors, you will need to know specifically how to go about doing so.

DESIRE: You're most likely reading this editorial for the reason that you want the motivation to make some personal changes. And that's convenient for the reason that the first component in the "Motivation Formula For Your Success" is that you must want or desire to change. If you have read this far, at least a little part of you wants a change.

BELIEF IS REQUIRED FOR MOTIVATION: Before anyone can eliminate a harmful behavior, that person must be motivated to do so. Merely desiring a change is not sufficient.

Motivation comes from what we believe. If we believe that something very important to us will get better or "become enhanced" if we alter our behavior, then we will become motivated. Conversely, if we believe that something very important to us will be in jeopardy if we don't alter our behavior, we will also experience motivation to alter our behavior.

Some plain examples of these motivational beliefs could be:

If I take some weight off, then I'll be able to find a companion.

If I stop smoking, then I'll be healthier.

If I can improve my study habits, then I can graduate from college.

TECHNOLOGIES THAT CAN CREATE THE BELIEFS THAT LEAD TO MOTIVATION: Neuro-Linguistic Programming - which is commonly known as NLP, offers methods that are able to instantly generate the element of belief. You can learn more on this topic by reading the articles "How To Get Motivated To Exercise Using Hypnosis And NLP" and "Motivation Theory - How To Quit Smoking Using NLP And Hypnosis For Motivation." These articles are both available in my free hypnosis research library.

DECISION: The dictionary definition of the word "Decision" is making up one's mind / a verdict or judgment. When you believe a concept that gives you a powerful feeling of motivation to make a change, you will feel bound to make a decision to get rid of a negative behavior. Decision is the key that unlocks the door and compels action.

ACTION: The dictionary defines the word "Action" as an act or deed / to do or perform. When you take action it means that instead of just daydreaming about making personal changes, you will actually take action and bring about your desired changes.

SELF-TALK: One of the reasons that most people are unsuccessful at eliminating a negative behavior is because of what they say to themselves. Self-talk is vital because very often it is part of what caused the negative behavior in the first place.

I'd like you to consider this for a moment: Let's say that you want to stop smoking. The first thing that you are likely to say or think to yourself is: "I'm not going to smoke cigarettes any longer."

It's universal for people to tell themselves what they aren't going to do. Unfortunately, when we tell ourselves what we are not going to do, we are actually compelling ourselves to do it!

SELF-TALK EXERCISE: Say the following to yourself: I can't see blue. I can't see polka dots . . . . . . .

I'll bet your mind showed you the color blue, and then it showed you polka dots. That's because when we tell ourselves what we don't want to do, or what we won't do, in order to make sense of it our mind must make an image of us doing whatever it is that we wish to stop doing. And when we see ourselves participating in a behavior, our mind compels us to create that behavior.

SUMMARY: In order to modify a negative behavior, we must first want or DESIRE to eliminate it. BELIEF is the ingredient that creates MOTIVATION. MOTIVATION is the drive that compels us to DECISION. DECISION is the trigger to ACTION. Neuro-Linguistic Programming is a tool that we can use to facilitate beliefs, motivation, decisions, and actions.

When we tell ourselves what we are not going to do, we make a mental image of ourselves engaging in the behavior that we want to modify. And that mental movie gives us a compulsion to participate in the negative behavior. So if we want to get rid of a negative behavior, instead of telling ourselves what we will not do, we must always tell ourselves what we will do.

To stop smoking say: "I can live without them."

To abort cravings for high calorie foods or to give up smokeless say: "I can live without it."

To manage stress say: "I'm relaxed and calm, both mentally and physically."

To overcome insomnia say: "I fall asleep promptly, and sleep soundly throughout the night."
