Self-hypnosis isn’t stage drama; it’s focused rehearsal. Sit somewhere quiet, breathe slow, and pick a soft spot on the wall. Let eyelids droop naturally. Count down from ten, imagining stairs. At the bottom, tell yourself a simple truth in present tense: “I design with calm concentration.”
Anchor the feeling by touching thumb to finger. Count back up, open eyes, and start the task immediately—the anchor transfers the state. Ten minutes, once a day, rewires attention pathways according to recent Stanford MRI studies.
Core Loop
- Relax body, slow breath.
- Visualise descent, affirm goal.
- Anchor with gesture.
- Exit, then work for ten focused minutes.
Practice daily for a month and watch your mind obey on cue.
