Self Hypnosis Cds - Success in Life

One of the most important drivers of anyone's life is the idea of succeeding or being a success. Everyone strives to be something, someone or to get somewhere. We are always judging others and ourselves as to whether success has been achieved or not. Our idea of success matters, particularly as our perceptions of it can help us to feel good or feel otherwise.

But what does success really mean? What does success mean to you? Is it about always being first or the top of any and everything you strive for, everything you put effort into? Is it your success that you seek or are you attempting to succeed at something for someone else's idea of what success is? Owning your own life and owning what is important to you is the first step to being a success at what is right for you.

Some people unwittingly fall into the trap of doing things for other people. I don't mean helping other people, what I mean is doing something that will please another person. For instance you no doubt have heard more than one person say something like: -

"I am studying to be an accountant... for my Dad"

"I am training to be a runner because my Mum was a champion runner and she would love to see me be as good as her"

Have you got a similar example of a thought or even a reason that you started out on a particular course in life? If so, you may have found out later on, particularly when you struggled, that actually you weren’t going after your own goals, but were trying to succeed at someone else's idea of what should be your goals and ambitions in life.

Now all your network of well-balanced friends, family and colleagues will want you to succeed. Being well balanced they will want you to succeed at what you want from your life. Anything else will just lead you to feel unhappy and even frustrated especially if you work at achieving success in something that is not your choice. Ultimately you may lose your way and find yourself never finishing anything you start. Procrastination may be a big issue for you too.

The good news is that it is never too late to go after what you want. The time to start is now and not tomorrow. The Success Self Hypnosis cd helps you to understand more about success and what it means to you. After all no one can live your life but you and being a carbon copy of someone else is not worthy of you. You really do deserve more.

Self Hypnosis Cds - Tips for choosing Hypnosis Cds

People are so different. In fact we are all unique. Even identical twins have physical differences and differing personality characteristics. Not only are we all different in physical and personality aspects, we can also have different reactions to different stimuli.

Listening to self hypnosis cds is no different. For you a particular self hypnosis cd, produced by a particular hypnotherapist on a specific theme will have the desired effect... relief from the issue. Yet, for others, the very same self hypnosis cdwill have little or no effect.

In being a mature and responsible adult, this is something that you have to accept. There is no one universal cure all that will help every single person who has that same issue.

With a self hypnosis cd, the difference might just be a few words that are uttered by the hypnotherapist. Those few words, uttered at that particular time, might just be all that was needed to help release you from your issue. Yet, for another person those same words might have no impact whatsoever.

Additionally, the hypnotherapist's voice itself might be the difference between success and failure. You may wonder whether it is best to pick a male or female hypnotherapist's hypnosis cd. Even though you may hear the exact same words from a hypnotherapist of both sexes, because of a difference in perception, you may find that you more readily accept suggestions from one sex over another.

Even more, is the difference between same sex hypnotherapist hypnosis cds. You might find one male hypnotherapist's voice pleasant and effective whilst another male hypnothertaist's voice may grate on your nerves. Once again for someone else the opposite might be true.

So just like attending a consultation with a live therapist, part of your role as the client is to decide whether you can work with the therapist. The same can apply to any hypnotherapist's range of self hypnosis cds.

Lastly, don't forget that variety is also useful. You may find initially that one set of self hypnosis cds are useful and then after a while you may choose a different set of self hypnosis cds.

Self Hypnosis Cds - How Often Should I Listen to them?

One of the questions that is frequently asked of any hypnotherapist by a client is often should I listen to a self hypnosis cd recording.

The answer is generally one of 'play it as often as you need to' which is some guidance but maybe not enough. You see that if you take this advice literally it means that you would only listen to the hypnosis cd as long as you currently felt you had the issue. This is a bit like fire fighting as opposed to fire prevention.

Let me illustrate this point with an example. Now the most popular issue for anyone is stress. So it goes without saying that the 'Relief from Stress' hypnosis cd is one of the most popular.

Now it is much better to play the stress hypnosis cd and listen it regularly even if you are not currently feeling overly stressed. This is because when one of life's events comes along which you might find anxiety provoking, because you had built up your ability to relax through listening to the hypnosis cd you would be in a much better position and resourceful state to handle that life event.

If on the other hand you had waited until some event stressed you and then listened to the 'Relief from Stress' hypnosis cd, you are doing something similar to fire fighting. You have waited for a problem to occur before taking action rather than taking preventative action.

Everyone handles life's events in different ways and therefore not everyone would need to turn to using a hypnosis cd during a time of anxiety... although it certainly would help. However if you are the type of person that seems to have continual bouts of stress then listening regularly to a relaxation hypnosis cd would enable you to handle matters much more competently and easily.

Ordinarily, for anyone who wants to enjoy the life enhancing benefits of a hypnosis cd, the best approach is to listen to the cd recording every day for up to 30 days and then reduce the frequency t o every other day and then to suit your needs.

Like device or habit that we can benefit from, only in using or doing it will you feel the benefits. The more you listen to your hypnosis cd the quicker the benefits can come through for you.

Leading a Happier Life - help from Self Hypnosis Cds

All of us want to lead a happy and as much as possible anxiety free life. Yet, anxiety is a natural and necessary part of our life and in some ways can be a positive element of healthy living.

Anxiety tells us that something is wrong. It starts a physical reaction of pumping adrenalin around the body. It gets the body ready for action. In primitive times it was a defence signal that we either needed to fight or run.

In today's society although there will be times when we still need to fight or run, anxiety can be experienced for other reasons.

Our perceptions of how the world is and how we think it should be can give use anxiety. What for one person is an anxiety provoking thought or perception, for another person the same stimulus will cause the same reaction at all.

If you accept that our perceptions, the way we think about matters, can cause us anxiety, then you might also agree that we do not necessarily have to become anxious particularly when we know another person would not have the anxiety.

So our perceptions and way of thinking about a situation can help or hinder us. If we freeze through anxiety, then it certainly will be a hindrance. If we lose sleep because of anxiety again it is not helping.

The great news is that we can change our thinking and in doing so change our perceptions. Actually that might even be the other way round. That is, in changing how we perceive matters, we think about them differently and then experience a completely different reaction to them.

How many times have you heard someone say, "oh, I didn't think of it like that" or "I got hold of the wrong end of the stick". Those phases are saying that now that the person has had some more information that has enabled them to change how they thought about the original situation, that they are now viewing or perceiving that same situation differently too.

So it is often our perceptions that can enable us to live happy or sad lives and the whole gamut in between.

Now our perceptions of life have developed over time and been influenced by parents, teachers, siblings, friends, colleagues and others. They are not fixed in tablets of stone and over time can change. We can also help that change too.

Hypnosis, in communicating with the subconscious mind can aid that change of perception through relaxation and positive suggestion. A good self hypnosis cd such as the double Lifelines recording can help perceptions and life understanding evne while you sleep at night
