Firstly, I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year. If we
enter 2013 with a positive attitude our chances of success in meeting
our goals will greatly improve.
With the New Year quickly approaching, the world is buzzing with fresh ideas on how to make this year even better than the last. It's the perfect time to finally make the first step towards transforming your old unwanted
habits and making the changes you've wanted to make for your life. No matter how many times you have tried before, this time is your winning time.
On the home page of my website, I open by saying, 'Change your mind, Change your life'. To a huge degree, we literally are what we think. Think it, visualize it and let the rest follow.
I would like to encourage you to use the word 'intention' as opposed to 'resolution'. Because I work in the field of hypnosis and neurolinguistic programming(NLP), I know very well that the way we speak to ourselves is of the utmost importance. For many of us, the word "resolution" is daunting and often a recipe for failure. "Intention" to reach a goal is gentler wording but more powerful in its meaning.
NLP is the study of how we get results in our lives. With NLP we can identify how we get either successful or unsuccessful results in a very precise, methodical, and practical way. This enables us to systematically repeat our successful performances and modify or replace our unsuccessful ones. Years ago Richard Bandler, one of the originators of NLP, described it "as an attitude followed by methodology that leaves in its wake a trail of techniques". Yes, that is a mouthful but think about the power of those words.
A more precise way to explain what neuro-linguistic programming means, is as follows:
Neuro: Each individual has established their own unique mental filtering system for processing the millions of bits of data being absorbed through the senses. Our first mental map of the world is constituted of internal images, sounds, tactile awareness, sensations, tastes and smells that form as a result of the neurological filtering process. The first mental map is called 'First Access' in NLP.
Linguistic: We then assign personal meaning to the information being received from the world outside. We form our second mental map by assigning language to the internal images, sounds and feelings, tastes and smells, thus forming everyday conscious awareness. The second mental map is called the Linguistic Map (sometimes known as Linguistic Representation)
Programming: The behavioral response that occurs as a result of neurological filtering processes and the subsequent linguistic map. This is when our wording becomes crucial.
If a client comes to me for help with "weight loss" I coach them to rephrase that. They will tell themselves that they are "gaining slimness", rather than losing weight. The subconscious mind sees that in a much more positive light. If for example, they tell me they would like to lose 40 pounds I will deliberately not use that number under hypnosis. Chances are they have failed at this previously and number 40 is stuck in their subconscious and represents failure. Bear in mind this is the subconscious not the conscious mind I'm referring to. I will therefore suggest to that client a number slightly lower or higher, but not the number 40. As simple as this might sound, it yields much higher success!
For many years, I have been demonstrating the power of hypnotherapy to those who are in search of a truly effective way to accelerate their level of performance, heal their lives and say goodbye to old habits. Start 2013 with 'intentions' to achieve your goals and learn to love yourself as you are, even with the imperfections. Take small steps and let the building blocks grow. It does not have to be all or nothing. Transformation should have an even, steady pace.
Hypnosis and relaxation therapy, along with NLP can put you on the fast track to succeeding in your intentions for positive change. For those of you who are not sure how you feel about "hypnosis", replace that word with "creative visualization", and add another powerful tool that can put you on the path to happiness.
I have several intentions for this year, one of them being to practice much better handwriting! I have already started by visualizing beautiful handwritten script on a fresh, crisp, white sheet of paper in gorgeous turquoise ink. Of course I will need to practice, perhaps watch some coaching videos but nothing will be more helpful than my own mind-set and an expectation of positive results at my own steady but consistent pace. Loving myself in spite of my currently atrocious handwriting! (Notice how I worded that. 'Currently' - this gives my subconscious the message that it can and will change in the future.)
Setting your intentions and recognizing the desire for change is a first step. Approaching it with a positive attitude while continuing to love yourself (as you are) will guide your steps. Following through is the winning step. Long lasting success will follow.
Happy New Year.
