LOW CONFIDENCE OR SELF ESTEEM?
What is low confidence or self esteem?
Do you doubt your ability to achieve goals - no matter how small they are? Do you feel you are you living your life as an imposter in your personal and / or professional life? Is your perception of the person you see yourself as making you feel diminished and small? Do you lack the motivation or interest to create change in your life? Do you have no energy, and feel tired and fatigued out all the time? Do you find that procrastination is prevalent in your life - and living in the future is much better than being present with yourself? Then the reality is that you are most probably running low confidence and self esteem. And because of this in all probability are no doubt struggling with low self-worth and self-belief.
The reality is that we all have an internal voice that creates these thoughts, that then engages our emotions, and hence drives our behaviours. Identifying the ‘process’ of ‘when to listen to this voice’ and ‘when not too’, is critical to building our self-confidence and self-esteem.
This voice can create helpful thoughts - or it can create unhelpful thoughts within us. Put simply, we have the choice as to which voice we choose to listen to. Those that run high confidence and high performance tend to listen to the helpful voice within them. Interestingly, these individuals also see failure as an opportunity to learn life lessons which they can bring into this present moment in time to learn, grow, and evolve. Those that run low self-confidence and self-esteem can take the same unhelpful thought and turn it into an opportunity to devalue and diminish who they are. At the root of lack of confidence and low-self esteem is a common mistake: we unconsciously accepted the negative or untrue input from our inner voice
How does Strategic Hypnotherapy work with Low Confidence or self-esteem?
During the deep relaxation of the hypnotic trance, the subconscious is more receptive to updating your views of yourself using words, images and emotions, for the most powerful transformation that allows you to correct past distortions and negative input. Your inner voice is your biggest critic, and it is what makes you view yourself negatively and results in negative behaviours. Through hypnosis, your hypnotherapist re-teaches your subconscious and teaches it to be more positive.
Hypnosis works in different ways to help boost your confidence and increase your self-esteem.
Firstly, it enables you to let go of the things that no longer serve you. It also supports you to build a new and positive thinking process, whilst at the same time letting go of the old dysfunctional processes. For a lot of people it is one of the most challenging things to do
