This is something I am driven to do, as I feel tired all the time. I put it down to being too full of knowledge and too empty of ambition, as, I feel I have climaxed in everything I have ever attempted! So, here I am trying to regain my sense of humour and energy levels I used to enjoy.
So, the basics of hypnosis, the way I see them, are to put your mind into a state where it delivers 'the output of the program,' or, it yields what it has been told to do. This means I need to tell myself; "I am full of energy." This might mean I need to make myself believe that I am full of energy, yes? To believe something you need to justify it, usually, or have faith. Let's try to justify it first?
To justify something like that, we need to look for evidence, yes? Let's begin with "I am young." Compared to the seventy year olds, I am young. This will give me some bearing on what other forty year old's are doing - look around?
Okay, that didn't seem to work - let's give myself some actual 'magical mind surgery?' The fuels in my body are surely there to be had, and, even if you are out of fuels, you could be full of energy, yes? This would mean that we need to draw energy from hunger or excitement, as, if something is excitign, we excel with our energy, but if it is boring, we will fall into stupor, yes?
So, we need to believe that life is exciting! This is where we believe everything is exciting! This is because it will be there to be figured out - back to square one, what gave me so much energy so long ago, the wonder of not knowing, and now, not wanting to know anything more, not wanting to enjoy life, only repeating things?
So, this I tried a while ago - get a role model! This will be where you enjoy life through someone else's eyes to compare to your own, and, then compare, especially someone you have met, okay? Hell, you might even be able to enjoy life as someone else you do not know, 'a blank?' You could decide what you like, for example, and, keep changing it? This would give you energy through activity of the mind, as, the habits you form will be based on what you are trying to do, challenge.
