Confidence hypnosis

Lack of self confidence is one of the most common cause for having little or no success in one's business and personal life. Should two individuals compete for a position in a company and have somewhat equal qualities, the person who is self confident about his achievements will certainly prevail. Lack of confidence can therefore seriously hinders one's progress, even though it can have no basis on what one is actually capable of.

The best way to overcome this problem, is with confidence hypnosis. The field of neuro linguistic programming has tackled with this problem and has come up with some positive results. When hypnosis is induced, post hypnotic suggestions combined with anchoring can yield positive results. This can also be done with self hypnosis, so a hypnotist isn't necessary required. So just before you go into a trance, you should give yourself positive post hypnotic suggestions, for example that from now on you will feel more happy and overcome the negative feelings every time you touch your wrist. Touching your wrist will thus become an anchor for positive feelings, but can be anything you'd like. Since tying positive feelings with a kinestetic sensors such as a touch would be easier with another person doing the hypnosis, it would probably be easier for the beginners to tell themselves that each time they induce hypnosis, they will feel more positive about themselves and that the feeling will get stronger and stronger every time the go into self-hypnosis. With a little practice you will be able to get good results soon.

Still, one might think that this will take a lot of time to master. It is true that thoroughly changing yourself to be more confident will take some time, but self hypnosis can be achieved rather easily and only takes around around 15 minutes for the beginners and becomes even less time consuming when you are able to easily hypnotize yourself. Thus you have very little to loose (a few minutes per day) but a lot to gain.

For beginner I would personally advise the usage of many self hypnosis audio products. Find the one who suits you better and try to limit your search to people who are NLP practitioners with a certificate. This way you should be able to get the best products.
