If you listen to any hypnosis cd on any subject you can add to the power of that hypnosis
cd by implementing practical changes in your life.
You know that it only takes a small change to make a big difference. Just a small
change in direction can over time lead to a big shift in many areas of a person’s life.
Let me explain by using a metaphor.
A modern oil tanker is an enormous ship. It can be bigger than 10 tennis courts. A ship of
that size cannot turn very quickly. The captain has to anticipate in advance a turning that
the ship needs to make towards a port otherwise the ship will miss that port. So the captain
calculates the direction, the heading if you like, that the ship needs to be steered. Now
if that calculation is wrong by even 1 degree that ship, unless it is corrected, will miss
the port but quite some distance. So even a small change in direction can make a big difference
over a period of time.
Likewise in life, a small change can make a big difference over time. The great news is that
a small change generally equates to a manageable change because it is small. So it is important
to accept and recognise that small changes do lead towards bigger changes particularly if you
make a number of those small changes.
For instance do you realise that if you made one small change each week that by the end of the
year you would have made 52 changes in your life. That is quite some success and progress for
any one in a year.
An example of how to put this in practice might be the person who wants to lose weight but
has struggled with various diets. Rather than change everything overnight, consider the idea of
changing one thing each week. The first week you might substitute a healthier and smaller meal
for that unhealthy one. This change can be strengthened if you made that healthier meal always
on a particular day. For example, Wednesday is your day for the healthier meal.
Then the following week you decide to go for a walk or even a run around your local park. So
now you have made 2 changes in 2 weeks and it also motivates you because these enable you to
feel like you are doing something positive towards controlling your weight. Then if you listen
to a self hypnosis cd on self confidence when in bed on a Friday night now you have made 3
changes in 3 weeks.
The idea of all of this is that the positive changes get added gradually and not all at once.
I think you would agree that 3 or 4 or 5 changes in one week might seem overwhelming and too
much to do at once. This piecemeal approach in effect keeps the ball rolling and because every
week you add something new it also gives you choices.
What I mean by choices is that you can then decide to stop doing one of the new changes you have
made if you find it is boring or unhelpful or just too inconvenient for your lifestyle. Is you
do this then all you need to do is find a different change to implement in its place and your
progress towards your goal is maintained.
There is an expression which sums up the above idea very well "If you keep doing the same
thing you tend to end up with the same result. If you want to change you need to do something
different".
