How Suggestions During Hypnotherapy Can Improve Motivation - Get Inspired Today
Suggestions are very powerful things. The advertising industry is a multibillion-pound industry and fundamentally what it does is suggest brands and products to you. You might think advertising suggestions have no effect on your however, imagine a trip to the supermarket, are you more likely to pick up the cereal box with Tony the Tiger on or a blank box? You see? Suggestion is powerful. It is even more powerful during hypnotherapy.
Therapeutic suggestions are offer to you while under hypnosis that are in your own words. During your intake interview you will be asked “What do you want hypnotherapy to help you with.” Your answer to this might be “I want to be more motivated at work.”, “I need motivation at an interview to get this new job.”, or “I need inspiration to loose weight.” Your words are then used while you are hypnotised.
While your conscious mind is asleep your subconscious mind is listening intently to your qualified, experienced therapist. These positive suggestions can increase the desirability of your goal. They are in your own words, so your subconscious is very likely to agree with them. Your own suggestions in your own words can then help increase your motivational pull towards your goal.
Using Imagery in Hypnotherapy Can Add Motivation
How do I Get Motivated you ask? Well using imagery while under hypnosis can be a good way of accomplishing this. During hypnosis your imagination can create wonderful dream like images easily. So how can I get motivated by these images? Well, the images created by your imagination in your mind’s eye will be the positive ones you have asked for. Also, some others you have also described as your status quo. These pictures in your imagination can add to your motivation by decreasing your acceptance of your status quo. Instead leading you forward to a newer brighter future the way you want it to be.
Fork in the Path - Crossroads - Motivate Yourself to Choose a Better Future
For example, under hypnosis you can be walking along a path in a quiet, calm, pleasing forest. In front of you the path forks. As you look down one way, towards your status quo, it is going downhill and has some brambles or nettles covering the path. Back at the fork you look up the other way it appears to be slightly uphill, clear, but easy to walk pathway and in the distance, you can see it opens out into a bright sun-soaked green field. Most people will choose the same as you have done reading this, that being the clear bright path leading to a good, bright prospective future. Your subconscious mind will make the same choice with the aid of some positive suggestion form your therapist. Your subconscious will store this positive memory a3way for you and thus add to your motivation to change. It really can be that simple.

Now, I want you to make a film or video of yourself, calm and tranquil in your fine wedding outfit looking really good. Now, see yourself in the future, while remaining calm and tranquil, during (grooms name) wedding speeches. See or hear yourself getting to your feet while the crowd claps and cheers you on after your introduction. There you are in your fine suit and tie looking great and feeling calm and tranquil. You begin your well-rehearsed best mans speech for (grooms name) and it goes wonderfully just like you and (grooms name) want it to.
You hear yourself speaking clearly to the room and the crowd respond well. They all laugh loudly at your respectable jokes and even louder at the not quite so respectable jokes about the old days and the fun you have had with (grooms name). You finish your speech, and all has gone very well indeed. You raise a glass and toast (grooms name and brides name). The wedding guests all raise a glass too. Your task is complete. You sit down calm and tranquil to good applause from all the guests but especially from (grooms name). Yes. Well done. That was great. Now you can stop the
Now I would like you to stop making your video or film. Good. And now you rewind it quickly back to the beginning. Now start the film or video playing with you in a calm and tranquil state and play it through to the end. (repeat rewind and play)
