7. Suggestions are at the Beginning of the Chain that Directs Our Lives Suggestions Beliefs Feelings Attitudes Behaviors Success / Failure

8. Suggestions are at work all the time Situation See bump in road. See ad for job. Suggestion Says, “I am going to hit it.” Says, “I am getting it.

9. Reinforcement and Encouragement Our behavior is controlled – knowingly or unknowingly, positively or negatively - by reinforcement and encouragement

10. Reforcement is an Action or Thing that Strengthens a Habit Habit Oversleeping Smoking Weight Control Negative Reinforcement Watching late TV shows Going for a drink after work Using candy to reward self

11. Encouragement is a Motivational Tool The drive to meet the weekly sales goal Internal External Self-Suggestion Preparing a daily sales plan Company sales contest Manipulates an individual’s drive May be internal or external

12. Positive Suggestions Conscious Goal directed Encompass desired results Avoid difficulties

13. Positive Suggestion Management We can turn the chain of events to our advantage through conscious effort to manage our suggestions, reinforcing goal directed habits, and encouraging ourselves.

14. Creating Suggestions and Affirmations Positive in tone Simple – in sentence form Believable Measurable In present tense Rewarding “Every day at 7:00 a.m. I ride my bike for 20 minutes and feel healthy and strong.”

15. Three Factors of Influence Letting go Focused Suggestions Reinforcement

16. Facilitation The acceptance of one suggestion always leads to the acceptance of another.

17. Grading Suggestions are accepted more readily if they are graded from low to high difficulty. Easy suggestions come before hard ones. As you develop suggestion skills, increase the difficulty a little at a time.

18. Expectancy If you believe in the positive result, you are in a state of expectancy. It may be a firm belief or a vague feeling that this thing will happen. Your expectancy that the suggestion will work plays a major role in goal achievement.

19. Step 3 - Programmed Suggestion 1. The third step in self- hypnosis is started one week after you complete the exercises for Step 2. Once you start Step 3, you no longer have to do Step 2. 2. For Step 3, you need a 3x5 card or a business card, which you can easily carry with you at all times. You are to write the suggestion you’ve prepared for yourself, which meets the criteria of being Positive, Simple, Believable, Measurable – and it should carry a Reward. Always state your suggestion in the present tense. 3. Again, sit down and choose a spot opposite you, slightly above eye level. Hold the card in front of the spot and read the suggestion to yourself three times. Make sure the words on the card are believable to you and allow yourself to imagine accomplishing what is written on the card. Use your imagination.

20. Step 3 - Programmed Suggestion (continued) 4. You’ve written your suggestion on a card – chosen your spot – read the suggestion to yourself three times – now, drop the card and take your first deep breath. Exhale. Take your second deep breath. Exhale. Now take your third deep breath – hold it – close your eyes – count backward from 3 to 1. Exhale, and go deep into hypnosis. 5. At this point, instead of counting backward from 25 to 1, allow the suggestion to repeat over and over in your subconscious mind. At the same time, imagine that you are carrying out your suggestion. You’ll find that at times the words start to break up and become fragmented. That’s perfectly okay. The important words or phrases will come through to you. In approximately 2- 3 minutes you’ll have a feeling it’s time to stop and wake up. (Note: this time was set when you established a habit pattern in Step 2.) At this point, just count forward: 1…2…3… open your eyes and go about your business, feeling refreshed and relaxed in every way.

21. Reinforcement Scripts Teach participants how to write reinforcement scripts to encourage themselves daily.
