Not all of us have soaring self-esteem. And it can be challenging.
It may seem like that the confidence that you want seems far-fetched.
What I think here is that you need to gain the courage and the basic sense of self-worth to boost your self-confidence. There are therapies, workshops, etc. that can help you work on your self-confidence.
However, not all of us have the time for that. Thus, I present to you the wonders of self-hypnosis.
Hypnosis
When you read the word, you probably thought of swinging pendulum and a comical picture in your head. There have been negative beliefs around hypnosis but recently, it’s been getting a lot of positive feedback because of its positive effects on human behavior.
Hypnosis takes you to a heightened state of receptivity, openness, and responsiveness. Its end result is positive responses.
When hypnosis takes place, your brain switches from normal to sensory-motor state. It becomes more aware, expanded, and relaxed. In this state, you become more focused on creativity and generating ideas that will improve your situation.
In this case, it’s your self-confidence.
Using Self-Hypnosis
Your low self-esteem stems from negative thinking patterns, which means that you can still re-program your mind that will help boost your confidence.
Hypnosis repairs the mind; it re-teaches the subconscious so be more supportive. It helps take out the irrational and negative thoughts and repopulating the subconscious with more positive thoughts.
Now, if you are interested in using hypnosis to boost your self-confidence, you can do these simple steps at home:
1. Set Your Intentions
It’s essential that you set your intentions. There has to be a specific goal after a hypnosis session.
Keep in mind, self-confidence doesn’t happen overnight. You have to work at it every day. When it comes to hypnosis sessions, you have to set certain goals for each day that you use it.
2. Sit Comfortably
When using self-hypnosis, you begin the practice by sitting comfortably in a quiet place. This is basically like meditation to ease you in. When you find a comfortable position, focus on your breath until your mind is clear and you’re ready to take the next step.
This may seem like meditation but its difference is that hypnosis has a goal.
3. Go Back To Your Goal
Now that you’ve reached a clear head, think about the goal that you’ve set before you begin your self-hypnosis. You can say it while you’re seated comfortably as many times as you can. You can also visualise it and experience it really happening in your life.
It doesn’t matter how long this step will take. Do it until you feel that you have already achieved your goal. When you get there, relish that moment.
Notice your feelings at this point. Should you encounter negative or limiting emotions, let them go.
Remember, at this moment, you are allowed only happy thoughts and emotions. Focus on reaching that goal that you’ve set and stay there… as long as it takes.
4. Be Grateful
Spend a couple of minutes to feel grateful for having attained your goal. Say thanks. Let the feeling of gratitude wash over you. Express your gratitude in any way that you can – scream it, dance it, etc. do whatever feels right to express your thanks to the universe.
Keep in mind that your emotions serve as the fuel that sends your subconscious into action. Self-hypnosis allows you to get in touch with your subconscious.
By doing so, you become more aware of the things that you have, the things that limit you, and the negative ones that you should let go of in order to gain the self-confidence that you want.
Self-hypnosis doesn’t require any tools, however, it will take a lot of practice. It will also take time before you feel its full effects in your life.
Do the steps listed above and you’ll find yourself with a healthier self-confidence.
Get started on your self-hypnosis and watch your life change for the better.
