People are always asking me about what hypnosis can do. Because hypnosis is such a powerful and versatile tool, it’s impossible to give people the full picture in a quick answer. I’ve focused here specifically on 10 of the ways hypnosis can help you achieve goals.

1. Remove Fears. Hypnosis can help you remove the fears that stand in your way. Maybe you want to travel more but struggle with fear of flying? Maybe you want a promotion at work, but are really nervous about public speaking? Hypnosis can help you overcome fears and empower you to do things you used to be unable to do.

2. Boost Self-Confidence. Anything you try to achieve will be easier when you believe you are capable of doing it. People often hold themselves back when we believe we can’t achieve something, even if that belief is unconscious. It’s amazing how much more easily you can achieve even your most ambitious goals once you feel more confident in your abilities and skills, including your ability to figure out how to do things you haven’t yet done.

3. Boost Creativity. Creativity is important for problem solving and creating interesting work, not just for creating art. Set aside the overly critical aspects of your mind to allow you to embrace your full creative abilities, and come up with novel solutions using hypnosis. It can also help you overcome creative blocks, and enhance creative skills you already possess.

4. Master Skills. You can rehearse the skills you need with hypnosis to get performance improvement faster than with practice alone. Research showing the benefits of mental rehearsal has been well known in sports for years. Use these same techniques combined with hypnosis for powerful improvement in many types of activities, such as public speaking, musical performance, language learning, and artistic skills. You can also use hypnosis to creative a mindset optimal for mastering the skills you are practicing.

5. Improve Learning. Many goals require getting a degree, certification, or learning about a new field. Hypnosis can help to improve study skills, retention, and testing performance for these sorts of situations.  Improved study skills improve many different pursuits, from learning a language to memorizing lines for theater.

6. Increase Clarity. Achieving your goals can be difficult if you’re not clear on what you are trying to accomplish. If you feel unsure about what direction you want to go, you may benefit from exploring your unconscious motivations in order to find greater clarity.

7. Access Flow States. Athletes usually understand the appeal of “being in the zone”, though being in a flow state is also great for a lot of other kinds of tasks. Hypnosis can help you to easily access a high performance state whenever you need it. Flow improves both your results and your enjoyment of the process.

8. Increase Motivation.  Even the most motivated of us has days when we could use a boost in that department, and some necessary tasks that are not motivating at all. You can use hypnosis to connect a highly motivated state to a particular task, and create triggers to access motivation whenever you need it.

9. Change Limiting Beliefs. So many of our decisions in life are dictated by what we believe to be possible for ourselves. We are often unaware of opportunities because we don’t believe they are available to us. Breaking through your limiting beliefs about what is possible for yourself will open up so many more options, and allow you to more easily make choices that move you towards your goals.

10. Remove Distractions. Hypnosis can help you focus on your goal, by alleviating ongoing distractions.  Distractions such as overwhelming anxious or sad feelings, chronic pain, sensitivity to sounds, and more can be helped with hypnosis. Learn to shift your focus away from these things and towards achieving your goals using hypnosis.

Hypnosis is ideal for giving you greater control over your feelings, habits, and beliefs, so there are many other ways to use it to reach your goals. Each hypnosis session is tailored to your specific goals and issues, completely unique to you, so if you don’t see something listed here, and would like to learn more about using hypnosis for your specific needs, you can contact me for a free consultation here.
