Practice Self-Hypnosis
Find a quiet place, close your eyes, and focus on your breathing. Let each breath relax you a bit more, guiding yourself into a calm, focused state.
Use Positive Suggestions
While in a relaxed state, repeat positive suggestions to yourself (e.g., ‘I am confident,’ ‘I handle challenges calmly’). Imagine these becoming true.
Visualize Your Desired Outcome
While deeply relaxed, visualize yourself achieving your goal, feeling every detail of that success. Imagine it vividly, as if it’s happening now.
Access Your Inner Resources
Think of a time when you felt strong, capable, or successful. Tap into that memory in a relaxed state to remind yourself of your inner resources.
Use Anchoring for Calm
In a relaxed state, press your thumb and index finger together while imagining a calm scene. Use this ‘anchor’ whenever you need calm.
Work with Metaphors
Think of a metaphor that represents your goal or challenge (e.g., ‘climbing a mountain’). Let this image guide and motivate you.
Reframe Negative Thoughts
In a relaxed state, take a negative thought and imagine it from a different perspective. What positive lesson or insight could it bring?
