Change your negative thoughts with hypnosis

Have you ever wondered where your mind naturally goes? Do you find yourself having recurring negative thoughts?

Hypnosis is an excellent way to get your thinking back on track by working with your unconscious mind.

Take a moment to notice where your thoughts wander. Many of our thought processes are on autopilot. You've probably heard the saying that some people see the glass half full, while others see it half empty. Sometimes, it feels like our minds are crowded with negative thoughts.

We all experience times when we feel battered, bruised, and worn out. Work overload, family deaths, and strained relationships can wear us down, leading to a pessimistic outlook on life. This can make us anxious or even depressed, colouring our view of life in shades of grey.

We tend to jump to conclusions and fill in the blanks. When things are going well, the little bumps along the way are just that—little. But when we feel overwhelmed, stressed, and tired, our defences are down, and it's easy to escalate minor issues into major problems. Our negative thoughts seem to crowd out the positive ones.

So, where does your mind naturally go?

Crowd Out Your Negative Thoughts

In your quiet, neutral moments, are your thoughts mostly positive or negative? We've all seen what optimism looks like—those perky people who seem to glide through life without a problem. What's going on there? Optimistic people seem to have a unique process in their minds:

• They have a positive expectancy that things will go well.
• They look for the positive aspects in others, no matter how negative they may seem.
• They find the silver lining or lesson in challenging or difficult situations.
• They reframe negative words like "problem," "difficulty," and "trauma" as "challenge," "test," and "opportunity."
• They focus on solutions rather than dwelling on limitations.
• They take action by searching for solutions.

Our thoughts go where our attention flows. It's useful to observe where your attention naturally goes and find ways to move your thoughts in a more positive direction. Hypnosis can help transform negative thoughts into positive ones.

How Do I Know Where My Thoughts Are Heading?

The first step is to become aware of the tone of your thoughts. Are they mostly positive or negative? Supportive or critical? Think about jumping to conclusions—are they positive or negative conclusions?

The second step is to try hypnosis. Hypnosis is highly effective at moving the mind into a more positive and productive state.

How do we know if our thoughts are more negative than positive? The quality of our thoughts can be measured by their effect on us. We all have an internal dialogue—that inner voice where we talk to ourselves. Consider how you speak to yourself and the outcome of these internal conversations. Are your thoughts uplifting or draining?

Over time, the direction of our thoughts becomes a habit, whether we encourage positive thoughts or dwell on negative ones. The first step is always to become aware.
