To make this concept understandable you must first understand
what the word try means. By definition the word try means
the following:
1. Make an effort to do or accomplish (something); attempt:
tried to ski.
2. To taste, sample, or otherwise test in order to determine
strength, effect, worth, or desirability: Try this casserole.
Try the door.
As you can see there is nothing about the word try that
equals success. I do not want my clients to try, I want
them to succeed. In order for this to occur they must have
in their mind the right words for success. They must have
in their minds the right commands to achieve their desired
outcome. Once you get your mind hearing and understanding
the words that truly reflect your desired outcome you can
succeed.
Most clients after having a hypnotic session to become
a non smoker will often say that if they knew it would be
this easy they would have quit years ago. I will normally
tell them that if they where truly ready to quit years ago
it would have been that easy then also. One thing that is
important to know about hypnosis is that it is not mind
control. When you are in hypnosis you are in control and
in a heightened state of awareness. You can not be made
to do anything against your will or that you do not want
to do. The effectiveness of a hypnotic session rides squarely
on the shoulders of the individual being hypnotised. If
the words “I’m going to try to quit”, as apposed to, “I’m
going to quit”, are in their mind then the outcome will
be a try, an attempt or effort, not a commitment to succeed.
This is why I want all my clients to quit trying to quit
smoking….and do it!
