You’re busy and could use an extra hand. But let’s face it: you don’t have time for that.
So time for some easy self-hypnosis steps from a weirdo who uses it daily.
Coughs.
1. Take three deep breaths while closing your eyes.
2. Imagine a place where you feel completely safe and relaxed — maybe a beach or a place in the woods where you used to go camping as a kid.
Or perhaps it’s your favorite restaurant or just the couch in your living room with a warm blanket over your head.
Whatever makes you feel good!
3. Now imagine yourself in that place, doing whatever activity makes you feel comfortable and happy
Reading, listening to music, or dancing around like nobody’s watching.
4. Focus on how you feel in that place from step 3.
- How does it smell?
- What are the sounds?
- What do you see?
Take another deep breath and focus on how those details make you feel happy and calm (or even excited).
5. Repeat step 4 three more times until you feel calm and relaxed.
6. Now imagine yourself back in the real world, sitting or standing somewhere where you feel safe, happy, and comfortable.
7. Take another deep breath
And focus on the feelings associated with being in this place from step 6.
Once again, ask yourself these questions to evoke all your senses.
- How does it smell?
- What are the sounds?
- What do you see?
Then open your eyes and return to the real world, where you can focus on the task at hand!
