USING the “I AM” Self Hypnosis Technique

Today we’re going to talk about how powerful the two simple little words “I am” really are.

“Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.” - John Lennon

You will probably be very surprised after you do the exercise included in the article that you’ll discover some things about yourself. As you probably know, I’m a Board Certified Hypnotist and also an Alpha Process Coach.

This is an exercise I do sometimes with my clients to help them better understand that the best way to find the solution the problem they come to me with is not “why” they have the problem, but rather “how” the words they may be using are possibly sabotaging their efforts to make changes.

Before we even get started with this article, you’ve got an assignment.

Get out a piece of paper and something to write with. You’re going to finish some sentences with the FIRST thoughts that come to your head You’re going to read the sentence and then write FIVE (at least, more is OK) endings.

DO NOT take more than three seconds (OK five at the most) to fill in each blank.

Now, finish the sentence with words that describe you. 

Do at least FIVE.

I am __________________________

I am __________________________

I am __________________________

I am __________________________

I am __________________________

Now, do the same thing with this sentence:

I am feeling__________________________

I am feeling__________________________

I am feeling__________________________

I am feeling__________________________

I am feeling__________________________

And now for this sentence:

I am always__________________________

I am always__________________________

I am always__________________________

I am always__________________________

I am always__________________________

And how about this one?

I am never__________________________

I am never__________________________

I am never__________________________

I am never__________________________

I am never__________________________

DO NOT PROCEED UNTIL YOU’VE DONE THE EXERCISE ABOVE. If you haven't done this exercise, STOP reading and do them. NOW!

You’ve got time!

You’re worth taking a few minutes to learn a technique that will help replace those sabotage thoughts you’ve been bothered with for a while with thoughts that will help you SUCCEED!

Aren’t you?

And besides, no one else needs to see what you wrote, unless you want to show them.

OK, now that you’ve done them, let’s go back and look at what you wrote. You DID do the exercise.  Didn’t you?

If not, go back and do them, otherwise we’re both wasting our time here.Well, I’m not since I wrote this for my newsletter and use it with my clients, I’ve already gotten some value from this.

Worry is a Thief! Would you invite a thief to live with you?

"Do not anticipate trouble

or worry about

what may never happen. 

Keep in the sunlight.” 

Benjamin Franklin

It amazes me how many people do! They come in to my Hypnosis office and complain about this Thief, but yet it’s one they personally invited and have been making the Thief welcome for a very long time.

Who is this Thief? 

The Thief’s name is WORRY! If you didn’t already know this, let me explain it to you. Worry is a THIEF! Worry steals your time when you could be doing something constructive.

Worry steals your:

• Joy
• Energy
• Sleep
• Peace of mind.

And yet, many people seem to take pride in being a “Worrier”. Have you ever known someone – maybe the person you see in the mirror – who seems to take such pride in being a “worrier”? In my Hypnosis / Coaching practice, I’ve had people tell me they are the “Worrier of the Family” or they’re a worrier because it’s genetic.

Memories from the Tomatoes in my Grandfather's Garden.

“No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth,

and no culture comparable to that of the garden.”

Thomas Jefferson

.

One of the things I tell my clients and students is that all Hypnosis is Self Hypnosis. And Hypnosis is simply being receptive to a suggestion. The suggestion could be from an outside source, or a memory, or a combination of both.
.
And you just never know when a suggestion will enter your mind and take you into a state of Self Hypnosis.

For example, yesterday I bought some cherry tomatoes. I was hoping they would taste as good as the ones I used to eat in my Grandfather's garden.
.
When I got home and put away the rest of the groceries, there were the tomatoes, just waiting for me on the counter.
.
I opened the carton and took one out, washed it thoroughly, got a little bit of salt on the end of it, and bit into it. And then it happened! I was back in my Grandfather's garden, four or five years old, walking through the rows of peas, beans, onions, corn, and okra plants and the plum and peach trees, and of course the tomato plants. I could feel the sunshine, smell the freshness of the air - it was a lot fresher then - and feel the dirt underneath my bare feet.
