Hypnosis is all around you

You can notice it as daydreaming, a wandering mind or being hyper-focused. Hypnosis is around you every day. It is used when you communicate, both verbally and non-verbally.

The state of hypnosis is a normal function of your mind. There is no big secret or special power involved. It is the state of mind your brain uses when accessing the huge amount of storage it contains.

The word hypnosis applies to the ways you communicate when asking for a favor or when someone else tries to appeal to your emotions to manipulate a decision. Hypnosis is a word with odd interpretations that describes everyday situations.

Using hypnosis is about bypassing the analytical mind and stimulating a learned behavior response. A behavior response will tend to be more predictable. Like my wife gets mad at me for staying up late to write this article. I don't want her to be mad because that makes me feel guilty. She unintentionally creates an emotional response in me that motivates me to do what she wants. Sounds complicated until you start seeing how common it is.

The popular cola drink advertisement shows video that stimulates feelings of happiness, satisfaction, and companionship. People want to feel good and this ad's emotion combined with repetitive exposure to the images will tend to make you think of that brand with good feelings. When you next see that brand of cola in the store, how do you immediately feel? Below the surface of your thinking? It may only be a subtle feeling, but it's there. That's emotional association at work.

Things like this are constantly happening around you, and everyone else. Many so minor you don't even notice. Unnoticed until you try to change them. You might experience that as fighting a craving or urge. You're likely aware that habits are formed in this way, but may not understand how powerful this can be and what a large influence on your life it can have.

A habit, once formed with emotional association can become more deeply rooted with repetition. The more repetition, the stronger and more automatic the reaction is. Once deeply rooted, it becomes more difficult to change an emotionally based habit.

Look at all the ways your life is guided by outside influence. The food you eat (and how much food you eat), the car you drive, the clothes you wear. The bad habits you have, as well as the good habits. You probably have more habits created unintentionally than intentionally.

Once you start seeing the key elements of behavior creation, you will better understand yourself and others. Hopefully, if you have a habit you're having trouble changing, you can be less frustrated. You're fighting your own mind's nature after all. Most importantly, know the habit CAN be changed. If you aren't able to do it yourself, find a trustworthy professional to help you. I recommend finding a good hypnotist.
