Sabotaging Beliefs

- Hypnosis And The Haircut
Bill was excited about a new position he'd been offered at work. He'd been working hard for this promotion and it meant more money, more responsibility and a chance to travel. So Bill was devastated to learn the new position required him to cut his hair. You see, Bill had been using his hair to cover his ears ever since, as a young boy, he had discovered that they were deformed.

Because this promotion was really important to him, he decided to take a chance and, for the very first time, talk to someone about his ears. It turned out that Bill's ears weren't abnormal looking at all. In fact, they looked pretty much just like mine.

When Bill was nine years old, he used to walk home from school every day where he was always greeted by his mother who would immediately scoop him up into a hug and cover him with kisses. Then they would go to the kitchen together for milk and cookies where Bill had his mother's complete attention while telling her about his day at school. As you can imagine, this was the high point of the young man's day.

One day, Bill came home as usual and his mother was on the phone and evidently had forgotten about the time. Instead of greeting him in the usual way, his mother was startled as Bill came bursting through the door. Surprised, she had a frightened look on her face when turned to look.

When she saw who it was, she quickly turned back to the phone and said, "I have to go. Little Bill's home from school and you know how little boys have big ears."

Beliefs are a result of our 'perception' of our experience. As children, our inexperience leaves us vunerable to inaccurate appraisals regarding what life means and 'skewed' or ill conceived beliefs can be a result. Usually, as adults, these perceptions get sorted out through additional experience and these 'childish' perceptions don't hinder our successful functioning.

Sometimes however, as adults, we can find ourselves wrapped up in behaviors that don't serve us and, on some level, we're aware of this. Yet, not matter what the consequences, we can't seem to break out of the cycle. We will always act in accordance with our core beliefs. So, if we want our behavior to change, the we need to change the beliefs that support that behavior and stop making very important decisions about our lives based information that simply isn't accurate.

Depending on how powerful a belief is, simply listening to a hypnosis recording that addresses that particular belief can create change, or the help of a qualified hypnotherapist may be necessary. The fact is that accessing these sabotaging beliefs and adjusting them to suit reality in an adult world doesn't have to be a lengthy or difficult project.

By the way, Bill got the job.
