How To Use Self-Hypnosis To Overcome Bad Habits
Your every wish includes overcoming the habit. You really want to be firm about your choice to avoid doing the same bad habits which you already know no longer works for you — habits such as procrastinating, excessive smoking or heavy drinking. However, at the end of the road you simply realize that you can’t do it anyway. You are a prisoner of your bad habits.
Today would be the last, because tomorrow you will surely quit. Anyway, quitting tomorrow is more bearable than quitting now, you have free will anyway. It’s all in your mind you say, you can quit if you really want to. Then you wake up the next day realizing that you want another try-out day.
To be fair, and if it can serve as a consolation for you, our habits are not exactly controlled by our conscious minds. The incessant need or the unstoppable craving to do what we already know is a bad habit is formulated by our subconscious minds. The compelling emotion to do what we have wished we can stand not doing is very difficult to quell given that the subconscious mind cannot understand logical or rational reasoning. Your subconscious mind is incapable of understanding rational thoughts; it can only be driven by feelings and emotions.
For these reasons, what we need to overcome habits that have been ingrained in our subconsciousness is something which can penetrate through it. We will only be capable of controlling our subconscious minds when we are in touch with it. And this is how self-hypnosis helps us.
Our subconsciousness is governed by a rigid mental script wherein the routinize need for some cravings or attachment to bad habits is inscribed. This written script contains everything that the subconscious mind believes is necessary for us. Under normal conditions, our conscious mind will block all attempts to reach our subconsciousness in order to protect us from its illogicality but at the same time disabling us to change the routine our subconscious mind is used to doing. Inside a hypnotic state, we can freely pass through our conscious mind and get in touch with our subconscious mind thus making us able to change the script it follows — overcoming bad habits in the process.
Once you have re-written you subconscious mental script, and get out from the hypnotic state, you would find your bad habit subsumed under the control of your consciousness. Even if you would want to redo your bad habits, you will likely realize that you do not like doing them anymore. The habit will cease to exist in you, even if you try to resurrect it.
Your subconscious mind will be convinced that the habit you have removed from you subconscious mental script no longer has any emotional attachment to you. It will no longer entertain cravings or urges, even those once irresistible desires and wants attached to the habit. If so, your conscious mind will be able to make choices without your subconscious mind dragging you to a state of dilemma. In the end, making the same things again will become a factor of choice not or irresistible desires.
