HYPNOSIS FOR CONFIDENCE AND MOTIVATION: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

22nd July, 2020

Are you wondering how hypnosis for confidence and motivation works?

This article gives a quick breakdown of the key principles involved, as well as 4 bonus tips for boosting your confidence this week.

WHAT EXACTLY IS CONFIDENCE AND MOTIVATION HYPNOSIS?

Hypnosis for confidence and motivation helps people by addressing the subconscious mind’s “inner voice.”

For individuals with low confidence, this inner voice can keep them stuck in a state of self-doubt. As a result, negative thought loops strengthen over time.

Doubt forms in the imagination (e.g. “I don’t think my new boss will like me.”)

But we can also use the power of the imagination to feel more confident and motivated.

Hypnotherapy eases your body and mind into a relaxed state. Once in this state, it’s easier to access the imagination.

Your hypnotherapist will guide you through personalised questions and prompts. These will encourage a shift in your self-doubt.

These prompts will be made in the present tense, which lets the subconscious mind know the changes are being made now.

A few examples could be:

“My first day at work is going well.”

“I’m taking action on my goals.”

“I’m not afraid to ask for feedback.”

Thoughts create more thoughts. Hypnosis prompts will set new, positive thought loops that swap self-doubt for confidence.

Over time, you’ll feel more motivated, because you’ll see that the subconscious mind can adapt to what you tell it.

THE PROCESS OF HYPNOSIS FOR CONFIDENCE AND MOTIVATION

The most important thing to know is that you’ll be aware of what’s happening at all times.

A common question from clients in their first session is “will I lose control?”

There’s no need to worry. Hypnosis for confidence and motivation gives you back control rather than taking it away.

Your hypnotherapist will ask you what problems you want to solve and how the challenges impact your life.

They’ll identify triggers that explain why these problems began and how they repeat themselves in the present.

After this, the hypnotherapist will guide you into a deeply relaxed state. This is a pleasant experience and doesn’t take a long time.

When you move into this more relaxed emotional state, your hypnotherapist will open a conversation with your subconscious mind.

This may sound a little strange, but in reality, the process is comfortable and doesn’t require a lot of effort on your part.

The hypnotherapist gives a sequence of verbal instructions and suggestions. These will gradually shift the limiting beliefs that have been holding you back.

After a few sessions, you should find that the old beliefs don’t have as much power over you. As a result, your level of confidence will increase.

BONUS: 4 LIFESTYLE TIPS FOR CONFIDENCE & MOTIVATION

Here are a few strategies you can try at home in-between hypnosis sessions, or before scheduling an appointment.

List your achievements — large or small

How often do you give yourself credit for what you’ve achieved so far in life?

Perhaps there are challenges that you’ve overcome or goals you’ve realised? These don’t have to be huge milestones. Instead, they can be smaller, day-to-day achievements that add up over time.

Eye contact

Making eye contact is one of the fastest ways to give you a sense of confidence.

By focusing your attention on others, you’ll feel less self-conscious, which can ease feelings of anxiety.

Aim to hold eye contact at least 50% of the time in your next conversation.

Boost your self-talk

Spend 5 minutes per day observing your mind.

You might be surprised to discover how critical the mind can be, always looking for problems.

Are you able to reframe these thoughts when they come up? Could they be balanced with more positive self-talk?

Focus on excitement

Exciting situations and thoughts cause our body to release the hormone adrenaline.

You may have noted that the physical symptoms of excitement, such as increased heart rate, also arise when you feel anxious.

Next time you’re in a situation where your confidence is low, take note of any bodily symptoms. For a confidence boost, see if you can “trick” the mind into thinking that these symptoms are due to excitement rather than anxiety.
