How can we Help You?Exercise 1Close your eyes and think of something really good, either something that has happened or that you would like to happen. Now make the colours brighter, the image bigger, bring it closer and turn the sound up louder. Notice what this does to your feelings. Doing this often will condition your unconscious mind to give you more of those good feelings, because you always get what you focus on in life. For most people enhancing the size and colours of mental pictures does the same to the intensity of their feelings. Now try it the other way around with something mildly unpleasant. Close your eyes. Think of something you don’t like, drain the colour out, make it small and move it off into the distance. It is interesting that by changing the images we see in our imagination we can literally change how we feel. You can also play with auditory feedback. Notice the type of voice that you use to criticise yourself with when you make a mistake. Notice what is says, but particularly, its tone and location. Notice if it is at the front, back or to either side of your head. Now move the location, imagine how that voice would sound talking to you from your elbow, hear it talking from your wrist and eventually the tip of your thumb. You can also change the tone of how it sounds like Mickey Mouse. Notice how that changes your feelings. Just because there’s a voice inside your head doesn’t mean you listen to it. Negative self-images can so often become what psychologists call “self fulfilling prophecies”. People can end up sabotaging themselves because deep down they believe they are not worthy. Use a simple self-hypnosis, relaxation and imagination technique to heal the psychological scars of this poor self-image. By relaxing and imagining how you would ideally like to be, over
and over again, you can begin to change, to re-programme yourself
and become more positive, optimistic, health, energised, motivated,
confident and enthusiastic. |
