If you are reading this you’re probably one of those people with a number of self help books that are currently accumulating dust in your bookshelf and self help ebooks that are filling up your computers memory, or you’re just curious of what I have to say. Either way I know you will agree with me.

First of, I’m not gonna claim to be an expert in this particular field because I am not, in fact I need help as well, badly.

I’ve read a number of self help books myself and those books that are accumulating dust in your bookshelf, I am sure you have read them too. You were inspired by them, you were moved by them, it even got you teary eyed at some point! But the question is, “why are you still the same old you?” If these books are so helpful, why are you still struggling? Makes sense right?

Now, let’s take a look at how we call these books. “Self Help” and let’s write that in reverse “Help Self” Wow! Now does that mean that I have to do something after reading the book? If these books are so powerful, I should be a changed man after reading them from cover to cover, right?

Wrong! Let me tell you something I found out about these books. First of all they are great and I like to thank all the people who wrote them and shared their experiences with us. But I tell you, not unless you have the determination and drive to make your life better everything in those books will be fictitious to YOU. Yes, It all goes down to “you” all the inspiration and all the knowledge you gained will all be wasted if you do not put them to use. They will be accumulating dust in your brains just like the books in your bookshelf. And you will still be living the same old life that you were trying to change or make better in the first place.

Now, let me ask you a question. “Do you really want to make your life better?” If your answer is no then stop reading and find yourself another article coz you are wasting your time my friend, If yes then do this! Let us do it together ok? I told you I need help too so I am doing this with you.

I want you to close your eyes and start looking at yourself. Assess yourself and think of the things that you are currently doing right now, once you have them, classify them into.

“Things that are greatly contributing to my life” and

“Things that are contributing less or things that are completely just wasting my time”.

And then concentrate on doing more of the things that are greatly contributing to your life and less of or totally eliminating those activities that does not. And then, make another list of the things that you know you should be doing to achieve more in your life like starting a business or getting a masters degree or just plainly looking for work and make an outline on how you plan to achieve these things. Make yourself a goal!

Come on, get a pen and paper and write down your goals. The achievable goals and the impossible goals! I wrote down mine just before I wrote this article. Write down how you plan to achieve these goals and share it to your family and friends so you’ll get all the support you need and everyday make an assessment of close you are in achieving your goals and ask yourself.

“What did I do today that contributed to my goal?” and shame on you if there is none.

Remember you have to stay focused, you have to have the perseverance and discipline so as not to stray from your goals, just think of the rewards that you will get once you’re there up top with everything that you could ever dream of.

So, lets stop reading and start making things happen! Ok? I know I’m gonna do it. I’m gonna write another article in the future sharing my success!

And I’ll be looking out for yours too.

Good Luck! A working class citizen who’s always looking for ways to improve life…and shares it to everybody.

Anyone who has read the articles which I write will know that I am ever grateful for the fact that we human beings have the ability to use the state of hypnosis. Hypnosis helps a person to do so many things. For me it is the foundation from which one should do any type of self-help work. Why so? Because everything you experience in life depends upon the way in which you think about it. Hypnosis is a state of relaxation which means that you are in a position to think clearly. When you are stressed, angry, anxious or in any way emotionally over-wrought you just cannot think clearly; it is impossible for you to think logically when your emotional mind has taken over. Believe you me, your emotional mind does take over; it goes so far as to bypass the higher cortical regions of your brain – the logical thinking part. You HAVE to be relaxed to enable clarity of thought and a logical decision making process. With hypnosis you can learn to relax at will and therefore put yourself into a position where you can think clearly and help yourself to do whatever it is you want to do. The relaxation in itself is great for every human being. Being stressed affects one both mentally and physically, to such an extent that it not only has the potential to destroy ones quality of life, but can also knock up to seven years off your life. Hypnosis is a natural and normal state of relaxation in which you can take a break from stress and give your mind and body a mini-holiday. Do you not agree that this is indeed a great place in which to start your journey into the sphere of self-help? You may have decided that you are going to seek the assistance of CBT or acupuncture, or any of the whole gamut of both complementary therapies and main stream medicine, but all of these benefit from you being relaxed and positive in your outlook. Every GP or surgeon, counselor or therapist of any description, will agree that a relaxed patient or client is a better patient or client. These professionals will also agree that a person who is positive in outlook and expectations will also achieve far better results. In fact, research shows that the average effect of placebo in treatment is about 35%. Indeed it can vary from 15% to 50%. With hypnosis you can use positive suggestion to ensure that you are positive in your expectancy and therefore far more likely to respond well to your treatment. What you expect to happen does indeed tend to happen. The placebo response is the effect of one’s expectations, be they conscious or subconscious. You can choose to use hypnosis to embed in your mind an expectancy of success. There really is nothing like hypnosis for creating a great foundation for self-help. It is the “great grand-daddy” of self-help. I have only scratched the surface here in the ways in which hypnosis can help you to help yourself. What’s more is that hypnosis is easy to learn and easy to use. You can learn to use hypnosis simply by listening to a hypnosis recording. Like most other things in life, you also get better at it with practice. You can get a hypnosis cd or mp3 download and listen to it again and again and keep on benefitting from the natural relaxation response and the effect of positive suggestions sinking deep within your psyche. This of course is also a very cost effective form of self-help.
