Your thoughts become your reality.
If you’re not sure what you’ve been thinking, have a look around. What you focus on increases, so whatever has been showing up over time is what you’ve been focusing on. And if it’s been going on for a while, you’ve probably become familiar with it (people like what’s familiar).
Of course, your actions will give you clues to what you believe, too. If you think you are a fountain of abundance, but notice that the credit card bills are sitting unopened by the phone for days on end, your behaviour is telling you what you really think.
And your thoughts become your reality.
Coaching:
I’m not going to ask you “[yes/no question]” because…
Sometimes people ‘pretend’ something has ‘worked’ when it hasn’t. You can covertly ask a person’s unconscious mind for an honest response. Just put the yes/no question you would like to ask in a larger sentence. If you’re in rapport, they’ll respond to the embedded question with a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ signal (E.g. Head-nodding). I’m not going to ask you “Will you do this every day?” because that’s your choice. I’m not going to ask you “Will you do the things you’ve agreed to do?” because that’s your business. Notice how they respond to the ‘embedded question’.
Influence
We’ve _____, and _____, and _____, so _____.
I call this the ‘mini review’, and it’s one of the simplest most effective ways of pacing and leading I know. You merely state some facts about what you’ve done so far with a person, then add in a suggestion. You’ve been explaining what you need, and I’ve told you how we’ve helped other clients, and we’ve looked at possible solutions, so you’re probably wondering how soon we can get our team in here and start making a difference. You’ve described your situation, and I’ve told you about me, and we’ve reviewed the options open to you, so by now you’re probably ready to choose the one you want.
Hypnosis
You may notice ____ as you ____.
You may notice it, or you may not, but as you do whatever’s been suggested, you’ll probably be looking for it. You may notice a sense of anticipation as you start to relax. You may notice the sensations in your hands as you allow yourself to go inside. You may notice certain feelings as you become determined to learn these patterns thoroughly.
