The Mystery of Life

Life seems mysterious and people act in what appears to be mystifying ways. When it all comes down to the bottom line, we act on our perceptions. If those perceptions are erroneous then we do things that we shouldn't, driving ourselves mindlessly into the abyss of pain and deprivation. There are a lot of labels for what we do. Overeat, smoke, get depressed, cry, go off in a rage for little or no reason etc, etc are only a few examples.n
The mystery is easy to solve when you consider that all behavior begins with a subconscious decision which becomes subconsciously driven behavior. Some behaviors are good and some are not so good and often self destructive.n
The good behaviors are no problem, and we are generally happy with them. It's those pesky bad habits such as smoking, nail biting and a golfer's yip that we want to change. Can these behaviors be changed? From a man that has spent the last 32 years of his life helping people to accomplish things that just don't happen normally, the answer is a resounding yes.n
There is a catch 22 to this however. The false perceptions, bad habits and painful emotions are not conscious behaviors and therefore cannot be addressed from a conscious or cognitive standpoint. n
Consider anger for a moment. While not everyone has fits of anger and rage, one would notice that when these fits do occur they happen as quickly as a flashbulb going off. Consciously counting to 10 just isn't going to cut it because the anger has already flared long before a person can consciously think to count and then the counting is usually a waste of time. Why? Because the anger or rage is coming from an old pattern within the subconscious. Change must happen in the subconscious mind for permanent resolution. n
The bottom line is this, whatever behavior you have, good, not so good or even bad, has been learned by your inner mind because at some time in the past, you could see a benefit to this behavior. The issue with such problems as over eating or snacking, for example, is that you learned this was a good thing, it became automatic behavior and you really just don't think about it. You just do it (subconscious behavior) then get upset with yourself after the fact. It's much too late then and your subconscious mind knows it!n
Somehow you must stop the wrong learned patterns and start to replace them with new and more appropriate behaviors. There are three ways that work exceedingly well. Self hypnosis, hypnosis and hypnotherapy can produce dramatic results for most people, when coached by a professional with years of experience. When you talk with him or her, if they seem to know your problem better than you do, you have chosen well. Look for a master hypnotherapist with compassion, great listening skills and experience in helping people accomplish change.
