Just some quick thoughts on fixations:

Do you ever find yourself binge watching your favorite TV show? Or "getting into the zone" at work and forgetting about everything else? Or falling in love with someone and not being able to think of anything else? If so, then you have experienced a hypnotic fixation.

We have all been there. That moment when we are so wrapped up in an activity that everything else seems to disappear. We lose track of time, and suddenly we are "in the zone." That's hypnotic fixation- something that can capture our attention so tightly that alternatives seem to disappear from our mind. There are many different things that can become fixations for us, but what is it about these activities that captures our attention so completely?

For one, hypnotic fixations give us a sense of pleasure. When we are in the middle of a binge-worthy TV show, we feel happy and content. We forget about our troubles and worries, and we just enjoy the moment. It's like a form of meditation, where we are completely focused on the present moment or whatever is right in front of us.

Another reason why we get hypnotically fixated on certain activities is because they make us feel good about ourselves. When we "get into the zone" at work or in an activity, we feel competent and capable. We feel like we can do anything! This boost in self-confidence can be addicting, and it's no wonder we get hooked on activities that make us feel this way.

Lastly, hypnosis can help us deepen our understanding of ourselves. When we are hypnotized, we become more open to suggestion and our barriers come down. This makes it easier for us to connect with others on a deeper level as long as our environment is safe and we set appropriate boundaries. This will can create an environment that promotes an understanding of our fixations and how they are important to us.

Hypnotic fixations are not bad, but it is essential to our happiness that we learn to understand them and why we choose them. Do you have any hypnotic fixations? What are your hypnotic fixations? Why do you think you are drawn to these activities? Understanding our hypnosis can help us lead happier, more fulfilling lives. Understanding them will give you insight on your deepest motivations and even some insecurities that you might be carrying with you.

Thanks for reading.

We are all guided by suggestion. The stories we tell ourselves and the suggestions we hear from others can have a huge impact on our lives. Often, we are not even aware of the power of suggestion until it is too late. The power of suggestion can be one of the most influential motivators in our lives. The suggestions in the stories we tell ourselves guide and direct our life path. This is especially true with hypnosis. Are you paying attention to the impact of the stories you are telling yourself?

The power of suggestion can be used for good or for bad. It can be used to help us achieve our goals or it can be used to control and manipulate us. The stories we tell ourselves can be very powerful. They can guide our actions and thoughts in a positive or negative direction. We need to be aware of the power of suggestion and use it wisely.

The power of suggestion can be very helpful when trying to achieve our goals. It can also be very harmful if we're not careful. The suggestions we make to ourselves have much more impact than we realize. Our subconscious mind is always listening and taking in the suggestions we make. If we are constantly making negative suggestion to ourselves, then we will likely end up following those suggestions. On the other hand, if we make positive suggestions to ourselves, then we are more likely to achieve our goals. It is important to be aware of the power of suggestion and use it wisely.

Are you aware of the power of suggestion? What kind of stories are you telling yourself? Are they helpful or harmful? Pay attention to the power of suggestion and use it to your advantage. Create positive, empowering stories that will guide you towards your goals. Live a life that is guided by suggestion, not manipulation.

What suggestion will you make to yourself today? Will it be helpful or harmful? Be aware of the power of suggestion and use it to your advantage. Create positive, empowering stories that will guide you towards your goals. Live a life that is guided by suggestion, not manipulation. What suggestion will you make to yourself today? Will it be helpful or harmful?

Have you ever found yourself getting lost in thought for what felt like hours? Maybe you were thinking about a problem that had been bothering you, or maybe you were just daydreaming.

When someone regularly and without conscious effort leaves space in their life for a subject, it's probably a fixation. Examples are things like sports or politics. Two subjects that get people to a state of mine where they are unlikely to pay attention to any other alternative than the subject matter in front of them. Most of us fall into hypnotic fixations on negative subjects. But, there is an incredible benefit to consciously focusing on positive hypnotic fixations. examples are things like focusing on success, health, or healing.

The hypnotic fixation can be helpful in therapy sessions when the therapist wants to help the patient access unconscious material. The therapist will ask the patient to focus on the hypnosis fixation and see what comes up. In this way, hypnosis fixations can help us understand ourselves better and improve our lives!

Many hypnosis fixations can be useful in our lives. For example, we can use hypnosis fixations to:

It can be difficult to get motivated, especially when you don't know how. Most of us don't help ourselves get motivated - we keep giving ourselves suggestions about our limitations and what we believe we are incapable of doing. We want motivation so bad that we suggest to ourselves that we are unable to be motivated. How many times have you tried to get motivated, but just couldn't do it? How many times have you told yourself that you just can't be motivated? If this sounds like you, then you're not alone. Most people find it difficult to get motivated. The best thing we can do is create suggestions that will lead to our success!

Positive suggestions can be powerful because they change our focus and help us see what is possible. When we focus on what we want instead of what we don't want, it's easier to take action towards our goals.

Here are some tips for giving yourself positive suggestions:

You'll know a positive suggestion has been effective if you find yourself taking action towards your goal or if you notice a change in your attitude or behavior.

There are some situations where giving yourself a positive suggestion may not be advisable, such as if you're facing an impossible situation or if doing so would put you in danger. In these cases, it's best to focus on staying safe and keeping a positive outlook until the situation improves.

Positive suggestions can help us focus on what we want instead of what we don't want. They can also remind us of our capabilities and potential. Keep it simple, be specific, make it realistic, and believe in yourself when giving yourself a positive suggestion.

We are constantly being told that we need to be positive. We need to see the good in every situation and find the silver lining. While there is certainly some truth to this, it's important to remember that there is also a downside to being too positive – especially if you dismiss negativity entirely. This is known as toxic positivity, and it can be very dangerous for both your mental and emotional health. In this blog post, we will discuss what toxic positivity is, why it's harmful, and how you can avoid falling into its trap.

Toxic positivity is the belief that anything negative – whether it's a feeling, situation, or experience – should be ignored, dismissed, or rewritten as something positive. This might sound harmless at first, but toxic positivity can actually have some very dangerous consequences. For one, it can prevent you from dealing with your problems in a healthy way. If you're constantly telling yourself to "just be positive," you're not giving yourself the opportunity to process your negative emotions. This can lead to them becoming bottled up inside of you, which can eventually lead to anxiety and depression. Additionally, toxic positivity can cause you to become disconnected from reality. If you're only ever looking on the bright side of things, you might start to believe that the world is a perfect place – which, of course, it isn't. This can lead to feelings of disappointment and disillusionment when you inevitably encounter negativity in your life. Finally, toxic positivity can be harmful to your relationships. If you're always putting on a brave face and pretending like everything is okay, you're not giving your friends or family the opportunity to support you through tough times. This can make them feel like they can't rely on you, and it can ultimately damage your bond.

So how do you avoid falling into the trap of toxic positivity? First, it's important to be aware of its existence. If you catch yourself telling yourself (or others) to "just be positive," take a step back and ask yourself why you're saying that. Is it because you genuinely want the person to feel better, or is it because you're trying to avoid your own negative emotions? If it's the latter, then that's a red flag. Second, don't be afraid to embrace your negativity. It's okay to feel sad, angry, scared, or any other emotion – and it's important to allow yourself to experience those feelings rather than push them away. Lastly, remember that life is full of both positive and negative experiences. You can't have one without the other, and that's okay. Embrace the good times, but don't be afraid to deal with the bad times too.
