Do you ever feel like your business is running you instead of the other way around? Do you ever feel like your performance could be better, but you can't seem to move beyond your current limits? If you're like most business owners, the answer is probably ‘Yes.’
But what if there was a way to take back control and run your business the way you want to? What if you could expand your business and yourself to the next level of success you want?
There is – performance hypnosis may be the answer you're looking for.
Hypnosis is a state of clear and deep focus. It allows you to bypass the critical conscious mind and access the subconscious. In the subconscious mind, there are no filters or judgmental thoughts. It’s a storehouse of all your memories, experiences, beliefs, and values. It's also a creative pool of endless imagination and resources.
During hypnosis, the conscious mind relaxes and 'steps aside.' The gates to the subconscious mind open. You can then access information and receive input of new information or instructions.
This makes hypnosis a powerful tool for change.
Here are 5 ways performance hypnosis for business can help you achieve more success.
1. Changing negative thinking and feeling patterns
One of the biggest challenges business owners face is overcoming negative thinking. It might stop you from taking risks or action, trying new things or making clear decisions. It might affect your communication and potential to influence.
This holds you back from reaching your goals.
Performance hypnosis can help you replace negative thoughts with positive ones. You can overcome self-doubt and boost your confidence, self-esteem and motivation.
2. Reducing stress
Another challenge that’s part of a business owner’s experience is dealing with stress. Overwhelming, uncertainty, worry, or anxiety are all part of the journey at one time or another.
Hypnosis is a powerful tool for self-regulation. That means it allows you to take control of your emotions.
Being able to reduce stress or other uncomfortable emotions is essential for resilience. Adversity is inevitable, so you need this if you want to create sustainable success.
Performance hypnosis doesn’t only build mental strength. The hypnotic trance state in itself promotes deep relaxation. It provides you with calm and peace of mind, clarity and a much-needed rest from constant or overthinking. This is also why it’s an effective tool for resolving sleep issues.
3. Turning new thinking and beliefs into automatic patterns
Performance hypnosis will reprogram your thinking about yourself and your business. It will redefine your belief in your ability to succeed.
Once your subconscious accepts new instructions, they become ‘set.’ They turn into automatic, autopilot mental & emotional habits.
Your mind loves habits and repetition. This is because it likes to save energy, time, and effort to be more efficient.
This is why challenges you’re currently facing, or life-long ones, can seem to be ‘out of your control’ or a ‘part of you.’
But this isn’t the case. You can take control. You can make changes at any moment when accessing the ‘master program.’ In the same way, you can reprogram a computer, no matter how long you've been using it a certain way.
The more you make changes on a subconscious level, the faster they become permanent. And you'll need less conscious effort to make to maintain them.
4. Enhancing meditation, visualisation and affirmation work
The hypnotic trance is a different state of consciousness; some might say a ‘higher’ one. It allows your mind to receive new messages in a much more efficient way.
It’s like a deep meditative state. You might already be using meditation to improve your well-being, performance and productivity. But by using hypnosis, you get to enter this state much faster, deeper and easier.
Performance hypnosis is also far more directed to specific results. So rather than ‘sitting with it,’ you’re active and intentional towards your goals.
Affirmations and visualisation techniques also become more powerful in a hypnotic trance. This is because there's no interference from your critical mind. There are no conflicting judgements or messages.
5. Boosting creative thinking
Hypnosis can also help you access your creative source. You are open to and generate new ideas or solutions. You can increase your focus and concentration.
This promotes better problem-solving, decision-making, innovation, or thinking outside the box. And this helps you to stand out and stay ahead of the game.
A common misconception is that you lose control over yourself when hypnotised. This is not only untrue but, in fact, the opposite. The whole point of practicing hypnosis is you gaining more, not less, control over your own mind.
Hypnosis, although not fully yet understood (as most sciences of the mind), isn’t a myth. It’s a practical and effective tool backed by science. I have conducted experimental research myself. It has shown evidence of reducing anxiety and improving performance in higher education.
You can redesign your brain patterns. You can start thinking and acting in ways that move you further toward your goals. You can remove inner roadblocks that keep you from achieving the success you want.
Performance hypnosis can improve any aspect of your inner and outer world. Whether boosting confidence for sales or building long-term resilience - it could be exactly what your business needs.
