Whether you realize it or not, you have probably been using auto suggestion techniques your whole life. If you have ever told yourself to wake up at a certain time, “relax,”,“sleep,” “concentrate,” “smile,” “breathe,” or whatever -- you have used auto suggestion.
We do it naturally.
The problem is that most people use autosuggestion UNCONSCIOUSLY– and often in a way that holds them back from accomplishing what they want. For example, people talk about being “tired” of this or that. Then, they wonder why they feel low and lethargic. Or they bitch that their boss is a pain in the rear, and then they begin to have problems with their lower back.
Let’s emphasize this - Self-talk is a very powerful tool that can enhance your life or lead you into a spiral of negativity.
