If you listen to self hypnosis cds on any subject you can add to the power of those hypnosis cds by implementing practical changes in your life.
You know that it only takes a small change to make a big difference. Just a small change in direction can over time lead to a big shift in many areas of a person's life. Let me explain by using a metaphor.
A modern oil tanker is an enormous ship. It can be bigger than 10 tennis courts. A ship of that size cannot turn very quickly. The captain has to anticipate in advance a turning that the ship needs to make towards a port otherwise the ship will miss that port. So the captain calculates the direction, the heading if you like, that the ship needs to be steered. Now if that calculation is wrong by even 1 degree that ship, unless it is corrected, will miss the port but quite some distance. So even a small change in direction can make a big difference over a period of time.
Likewise in life, a small change can make a big difference over time. The great news is that a small change generally equates to a manageable change because it is small. So it is important to accept and recognise that small changes do lead towards bigger changes particularly if you make a number of those small changes.
For instance do you realise that if you made one small change each week that by the end of the year you would have made 52 changes in your life. That is quite some success and progress for any one in a year.
An example of how to put this in practice might be the person who wants to lose weight but has struggled with various diets. Rather than change everything overnight, consider the idea of changing one thing each week. The first week you might substitute a healthier and smaller meal for that unhealthy one. This change can be strengthened if you made that healthier meal always on a particular day. For example, Wednesday is your day for the healthier meal.
Then the following week you decide to go for a walk or even a run around your local park. So now you have made 2 changes in 2 weeks and it also motivates you because these enable you to feel like you are doing something positive towards controlling your weight. Then if you listen to a self hypnosis cd on self confidence when in bed on a Friday night now you have made 3 changes in 3 weeks.
The idea of all of this is that the positive changes get added gradually and not all at once. I think you would agree that 3 or 4 or 5 changes in one week might seem overwhelming and too much to do at once. This piecemeal approach in effect keeps the ball rolling and because every week you add something new it also gives you choices.
What I mean by choices is that you can then decide to stop doing one of the new changes you have made if you find it is boring or unhelpful or just too inconvenient for your lifestyle. Is you do this then all you need to do is find a different change to implement in its place and your progress towards your goal is maintained.
There is an expression which sums up the above idea very well "If you keep doing the same thing you tend to end up with the same result. If you want to change you need to do something different".
