Change undesirable behavior in six steps
from Unlimited Power: The New Science Of Personal Achievement by Anthony Robbins
Although it seems strange to talk to yourself, it is a very useful hypnotic pattern.
How to Apply This
-
Recognize the pattern or behavior you want to change.
Imagine that there is a specific part of your mind that is responsible for the behavior. -
Create communication with the part of your unconscious mind that is responsible for the behavior.
Ask yourself the question: “Will the part of me that generates behavior X be willing to communicate with me in consciousness?”
If that part of your mind replies “yes,” intensify that signal. If it replies “no,” then decrease that signal. -
Divide your intention from your behavior.
Think about what you want to achieve by generating behavior X. -
Generate a new behavior that will cover the same intention.
Create three alternative behaviors that can replace behavior X. -
Ask the part of your mind generating behavior X if it will accept the alternative behaviors and whether it will respond in a new way.
-
Imagine a situation that causes behavior X.
Respond to this situation in your mind in a new way.
