How many of you already have broken the wonderful new year’s resolutions you made when you realized that you are still smoking, still fat, still tired, still lazy, still unmotivated?

You were determined when you made the resolutions. You probably succeeded t for a short time before those old behaviors creeped back.

The challenge is that you are attempting to create changes with the least effective part of your brain. Of our available brainpower, we only use 5 percent. Of that,10 percent is our conscious mind, 90 percent subconscious. We try to create changes with our conscious mind because we do not know how to gain access to the subconscious. Ten percent will have a difficult time changing 90 percent. Only the reverse works.

For persons who have consulted psychiatrists or psychologists, you may be puzzled changes are not occurring. They are talking to your conscious mind, which is not connecting. They do great work but it may take 600 sessions to accomplish what a hypnotherapist may resolve in six to eight.

How this is possible? A hypnotist will talk with you and then hypnotize you. When hypnotized, the hypnotist is communicating directly with your subconscious, bypassing the conscious.

All that we have learned is stored within our subconscious. We are a result of all of our thoughts, actions and decisions. We alone are responsible for the person we are.

Being 12 Again

Between birth and age 12, we learn to be the person we become.  We still are making decisions the same way we did at 12. Our behaviors reflect those of our secondary caretakers, usually the father. c

To create permanent changes, imagine your subconscious is a hard drive. We download a program into our computer, the hard drive stores it and gives it to us when we go through a series of actions. Everything we have seen and done is stored within our subconscious. When you want to change, it can be frustrating because the subconscious insists on giving us the behaviors we have programmed it to produce.

The subconscious does not know what is good, bad, right or wrong. Our conscious mind makes those determinations. While under hypnosis, the hypnotist offers the subconscious images of the behaviors that you want and reinforces them directly within the subconscious. The subconscious begins to accept new behaviors and to offer them when you need them.

As the hypnosis deepens, you begin acting on the new behaviors replacing the old ones. Test this by putting your keys in a new location for 21 days in a row. The first week it may be tough to remember. By Day 21, you no longer are thinking about the location. There you have a change.

Remember when creating new behaviors, try the amazing power of hypnosis.
