Hypnosis During Chemotherapy

When a patient undergoes hypnosis, his consciousness is altered to be more receptive to suggestions by the health care personnel. Chemotherapy sessions for patients can last for hours and can cause a great deal of discomfort. Through hypnosis, nurses can create a sense of time distortion within the patients so that they be so acutely aware of the fact that they are undergoing a prolonged period of pain. In fact, studies have shown that prior to chemotherapy, patients who have been hypnotized saw a significant reduction in nausea and pain. These patients usually anticipate vomiting or pain from the treatment because of their prior experience but through hypnosis, suggestions are made to their subconscious to alter this thought. As such, anticipatory pain and vomiting are mitigated.

Hypnosis During Child Birth

Mothers-to-be who are nearing labour often panic and feel extreme anxiety as they fear the pain that will come along. Hypnosis has been adopted as a stand-alone or supplement to epidurals in child births to reduce pain and pre-labour anxiety. The results have been proven to be positive with many mothers experiencing a much mitigated level of pain during their delivery. Hypnosis is highly valued as it does not result in any biological complications that can ensue from drug usage.

Choice of Words Matters

Health care workers who are trained in hypnosis will know the impact their usage of words on the patients’ experiences. If a nurse asked a patient to relax and that treatment won’t hurt, the patient would only focus on the last word “hurt”. The brain automatically obliterates whatever words that came before. On the other hand, altering the manner of speaking and language used can prompt the patient to react and think in a more positive way. Instead of asking how painful does the patient feel, a better way of asking would be “Tell me how comfortable you are feeling now.”. This usually invokes a much more optimistic and positive response because the patient’s focus is directed towards comfort.

Hypnosis is a valuable tool that should be mastered by health care workers such as nurses who have direct interaction with the patients. Many patients suffer from aftermath pain that results from a undiscovered self-realized perception of the subconscious instead of a truly physical discomfort. With hypnosis, patients can be coaxed to disregard suggestions of pain and experience relief. If hypnosis can be implemented on a larger basis for more patients to reap the benefits, the quality of healthcare offered by hospitals will be greatly improved.

Sometimes, people are limited by their beliefs rather than their actual skill set when it comes to overcoming a hurdle that they think they can’t tackle. Confidence can make a lot of difference and if one is empowered to believe in their capabilities, they are likely to find themselves achieving much more than what they thought they could do.

If you need to feel motivated for the challenges ahead, the Circle of Excellence is a good way to get you started. It is simple and is applicable for everyone. Here’s how you can go about it.

1) Identify your problems.
Find out what makes you tired and unmotivated, then visualize that. Once you have determined the root of the problem, clear your mind and start afresh.

2) Find out what you require to overcome your challenges.
This can be identifying the correct mindset that will keep you uplifted and motivated. For example, you might need stronger willpower to pull through challenges . You may also need to arm yourself with a new skill so you can handle more tasks.

3) Maximize your resources and put your stacked anchors against the problem.
Do you find yourself feeling different about the situation? Are you able to see the silver lining in the cloud and stay more positive? Have you tried to respond to the situation by doing things differently? If you find yourself more efficient and able to deal with the problem more effectively without losing your calm, congratulations—you are doing well! If you realize that your resources are not enough, that simply means you are still lacking some resources. Go find them and equip yourself with it!

4) Arm yourself with the resources for the problem that may occur in future and see how you are responding to it.

If you find that you can handle the problem in the future, your subconscious should be able to help you from there. Otherwise, you would need to go back to brainstorming about what resources you need—which in this case, might be the ability to analyze the problem and find a creative way out of it.

Our emotions play a major role in the way we respond to situations. They can empower us or disarm us so if we can correct our mindset and get ourselves to feel positive enough to handle any challenge, our productivity will be greatly enhanced.

So how can you apply the Circle of Excellence in real life? Let’s talk about applying it to your work environment. You can anchor your resources into objects that you use often to get work done. It can be your trusty organizer, your laptop or even a pen. Imagine these objects as your emotional resources and skill set and tell yourself that you can do things better this time round!

Different NLP institutes offer trainings ranging from 4 to 18 days. At our courses, students are required to read some assigned books in addition to some hours in class. The courses are arranged in various topics. In Singapore for instance, our certification course covers 21 modules covering everything from NLP history to its applications in various fields.

NLP coaches are typically past participants of the NLP courses, who have undergone special coach training. Some courses who demonstrate exceptional skill are usually admitted and go through to NLP Master Practitioner Certification.

Coaching is based on NLP presuppositions. These are a set of principles that Pathlight Centre trainers use in coaching their clients. They include things like the usefulness of each behavioral trait, the fact that one can create self reality and the ability to learn anything. Furthermore, the coaching puts emphasis on the way people learn things, how they communicate, what changes them and how they evolve from one state to another. NLP teaches individuals how to bring out their best and change their destinies.

NLP Trainers on the other hand, go through a much more rigorous process. Apart from the usual track of going through NLP Practitioner and NLP Master Practitioner trainings (which require upwards of 500+ hours of practice), they also go through NLP Trainer Training (which lasts weeks). In additional, to qualify to become a trainer, they need to demonstrate over 200 additional hours of trainings and hundreds of hours of coaching & practical experience.

From my point of view, it is not confirmed that the student’s teacher is the creator of the techniques taught and the materials used. In fact, it is most likely that the instructor has compiled his teaching materials from a number of sources. In fields like medicine and psychology, it is crucial that students are taught the importance of attribution and the history of their profession. They usually learn about people who had major influence on the evolution and development of certain techniques and would give due credit to the author of materials they have referenced when they have to write theses. The American Psychological Association (APA) have published guidelines on the proper citation style to use for academic material. Many professional journals only accept submission of articles that cite sources in the correct format.

The attention that education institutions places on citation and references aims to reduce situations such as plagiarism and misattribution where the author is not properly credited for his work. Therefore, in retrospect to the aforementioned situation, I think a reasonable explanation would be that the student has only taken the hypnosis course from just one instructor and have not taken any other courses for a period of time. Teachers don’t usually mention the source of teaching materials and techniques and thus, more often than not, students would naturally attribute the source of what they have learned to their teacher. Of course, it would be unethical if the teacher has falsely claimed the techniques and materials as his creations. However, it would be ludicrous if people are condemned for spreading knowledge and sharing his thoughts on learning materials created by someone else.

The above problem would have been resolved if teachers would cite where their materials came from or inform the students that these materials are adapted from a particular source. It is a prevalent practice that teachers don’t explain the origins of the techniques because they are usually demonstrated live to students and no documentation were provided citing the sources.

Nevertheless, It is comforting to know that there have been ongoing efforts to encourage the leaders in the hypnosis and hypnotherapy profession to work together to compile a book that details people who have had a major influence in modern hypnosis and how they came about developing the techniques. This would prove to be a valuable resource for our future generations when they want to have a better understanding of the roots of hypnosis and hypnotherapy.

Self hypnosis, in one form or another has been practiced for a very long time. While it is a serious therapeutic technique, self hypnosis is also a very soothing and calming experience and if practiced regularly, can help you transform yourself.

Originally, self hypnosis was thought of as sleep, then as an “altered state of consciousness”. Only after using instruments to monitor brain activity did researchers learn that there was negligible difference between someone in a trance or hypnosis, and someone not. Peoples experiences with self hypnosis vary widely depending on their own expectations, but there are some commonalities. For instance, most people experience a reduced awareness of events going on around them including noises and conversations. Although people are not unconscious when under self hypnosis, many experience extreme relaxation and seem to have reduced awareness of their own body including their arms and legs.

Nearly everyone can learn effective techniques for self hypnosis. Whether your goal is weight loss or to stop smoking, self hypnosis can be a very useful treatment option for many different health and emotional problems.

Let’s look at the reasons why self hypnosis can be such an appealing option:

1. It is not a drug, so therefore there are no side effects.

2. It is non-invasive which means there is no surgery and nothing gets inserted into the body.

3. Self hypnosis is also relatively inexpensive when compared to other forms of treatment, and can usually show results within one or two treatments.

Self hypnosis is the original mind/body medicine. It helps you regulate your behavior, alter your thoughts, and use your mind to control your body. To be effective, you must get into a meditative state to change your thought process in order to change your behavior. However, this does not mean you have to be in a relaxed state so to speak. Although this is helpful, self hypnosis can be effective even when you’re tense, upset, or unhappy.

As you begin to learn about self hypnosis, you will discover a method that works best for you. Doing this without any guidance from anyone can be difficult. The first step in achieving your goals with self hypnosis is to research and learn as much as you can on the subject so you know what to expect.

Self hypnosis is a very powerful tool you can use to change just about any aspect of yourself, but it is not a magic cure and is usually only effective if you truly want to make a change.

Learning self hypnosis gives you the power to create major life benefits on your own and at your own speed. Learning self hypnosis can help you to cure a wide range of health conditions such as overweight, headaches, and a variety of skin conditions, as well as a broad variety of life issues. People learning self hypnosis have altered relationships, changed careers and developed new skills and abilities with ease. Hypnosis can be used successfully as a powerful tool for good.

Many people however reach a stumbling block when they first hear some of the myths and misconceptions surrounding hypnosis. We’ll address a few of those myths in this article.

Myth #1- Hypnosis is Mind Control -This myth is probably the most widespread and misunderstood of them all. Hypnosis does not allow you to turn others into mind-numbed robots (TV does that pretty well on its own!). It’s true that hypnosis uses the mind’s incredible powers to operate unconsciously, but no person can be compelled to act against her own moral code. Of course, self hypnosis is only effective if you choose to take yourself into a trance state and then accept your own suggestions. I should mention here that mass advertising can sometimes place people into a receptive mind state that makes suggestions easier to accept, but each individual is free to act on these suggestons or not.

Myth #2- Learning Self Hypnosis Makes You Goofy -This myth arises from the historical view of hypnosis as magical or related to the occult. Prior to the late 1800′s, the scientific basis of hypnosis was not undestood. People tend to classify the misunderstood as either fearful, magical, or other-worldly. This myth was easily debunked by the early 1900′s and learning self hypnosis has been added as a regular part of many medical and dental therapies. You can still wear flowing robes and a long beard if you wish, but it’s certainly not required!

Myth #3- Losing Memory -This misconception arises from a simple misunderstanding of the process and effects of hypnosis. People tend to fear losing memory when they are hypnotized by another person. Hypnosis is not a form of sleep where you wake up without any memory of the time during the session. On the contrary, most people remember everything that happens very clearly. It’s true that the hypnotist can give specific instructions to forget aspects of the session, but this is only normally done when the hypnosis is dealing with uncomfortable or painful episodes for the subject. Forgetting those painful memories helps to protect and heal the subject after the session.

Myth #4- Getting Stuck In Self Hypnosis -Some people worry that if they learn self hypnosis they might get themselves stuck in some hypnotic trance or limbo state. This fear is unfounded. Even if you fail to come out of your self hypnosis session after your appointed time, you’ll simply fall into a sleep and awake normally, feeling refreshed and rested. The human mind however has the incredible ability to keep track of time internally, so you can decide on the length of session you wish to conduct. Most people will come out of the trance state within minutes (or even seconds) of their determined time.

Learning self hypnosis will open the doorway to many wonderful and enriching possibilities. Some good basic training in self hypnosis will easily get you on the path to a successful hypnosis experience. As you begin to learn the basics of self hypnosis, you’ll look at the myths with a quiet smile and be thankful that you got the training!

2) Subtly adapt your conversation style to be in sync with the other person by using words or phrases that are often used by him.

3) Some people are detail-oriented while others focus on the big picture when they handle information. By knowing this, you will be able to provide information in the same manner.

4) Breath in unison.

5) Look beyond the words and actions for the intention. Sometimes, they may not convey their intention correctly but if you can understand what they really mean, you are on your way to building good rapport.

6) Adjust your verbal and non-verbal communication to be on the same level with the person. Start from your body language, and tone and speed of speaking.

7) Respect the interests of the person in terms of the people he likes, his personal space and time, hobbies etc.

Ever heard of the saying “It’s not what you say but how you say it.”? A study has shown that people perceive communication mainly by body language and tone of voice. Spoken words only account for 7 percent of the real impact. This means that you can still build a rapport with someone even if you have differing views. The crux is to show respect for varying opinions and explaining your views in a calm and collected manner. Before you want to convince others, you have to be convinced and confident about your own ideas and beliefs.

In short, rapport often comes about when you are able to match and mirror the person’s behavioural style and beliefs. Steer clear of intentional mimicry. People hates to be imitated and made fun of. There’s no faster way to lose rapport and respect than mimicking a person.

Pace Before You Lead

More often than not, people are unwelcoming to new suggestions and ideas not because they truly oppose it. They express disbelief and rejection because they feel that they are not being listened to before being forced to adapt to the new system of thoughts. This is where pacing comes in. That means putting down your opinions first and listen to them. Acknowledge the views of others and understand their concerns. Once you have displayed your recognition of their ideals and beliefs, it is much easier for you to subtly introduce your ideas to them.

How You Can Build Rapport During a Virtual Communication

Technology has granted immense convenience and productivity through tools like email, teleconferences, cloud storage etc. A business operation no longer have to be based in an office where all the employees work under the same roof. You can try the following to maintain rapport with your colleagues in a virtual setting (e.g. teleconferences, Skype meetings) without face-to-face communication:

- Start off with a roll call to acknowledge an individual’s presence. This also allows others to know who’s present for the meeting too.

- Set a clear agenda upfront. Everyone should know the purpose of the meeting so they can contribute in relevant information.

- Do not neglect the quieter individuals. Ask for input from everyone so no one feels left out or unmotivated to participate in the discussion.

- Speak slowly and clearly. This is especially important when people can only rely on audio communication to interpret the message.

By Cal D Banyan

Every hypnotist and hypnotherapist wants to provide consistent high quality service. I would like you to consider a five-phase approach. We have used it to help thousands of clients at our Center and have adopted it as a universal approach to working with our clients.

By using a five-phase system you can help virtually every client:

1. Reach somnambulism,

2. Know that they were hypnotized,

3. Experience true age regression,

4. Remove anger and guilt,

5. Accept suggestions more powerfully,

6. Overcome secondary gain issues.

This approach is called 5-PATH®® which is the acronym for Five-Phase Advanced Transformational Hypnosis.

Here is an overview of the process:

Phase I: Direct Suggestion (DS)

Phase II: Age Regression (AR)

Phase III: Forgiveness of Others (FOO)

Phase IV: Forgiveness of Self (FOS)

Phase V: Parts Mediation Therapy (PMT)

We have found this to be the combination to use for maximum success. This is because the techniques in each phase prepares the therapist and client for success in the next phase. Notice that this process consists of five phases not five sessions. On average the experienced 5-PATH® hypnotherapist will complete each phase in one session, given that each session consist of about 20 minutes (typical of a DS session) to 40 minutes of hypnosis (typical of an AR, FOO, FOS or PMT session). But, sometimes two or even three sessions may be required to complete a phase.

Phase I: Direct Suggestions with Convincers

Phase I: Direct Suggestion (DS) consists of:

1. Preparing your client for hypnosis, including your pre-talk and pre-hypnosis interview (or other intake process)

2. Assessing client’s readiness for the session,

3. The hypnosis session, which should include an effective induction (usually an instant or rapid induction) with a covert test for depth of hypnosis, preferably somnambulism, and a couple of convincers, such as eye catalepsy and time distortion. And, of course hypnotic suggestions are given for the client’s issue.

Structuring your sessions this way allows your client to become the ideal hypnotic subject. The ideal client feels comfortable with you and hypnosis. She is confident that she can be hypnotized because of the convincers. And, she received the suggestions that she came in to receive. When she comes in to see you again the probability that she will go deeply into hypnotic somnambulism is very high, even if she was not able to do so in the first session.

As hypnotherapists we know that the main reason some people will not go into hypnosis deeply, or not at all, is fear. It could be fear of hypnosis, fear of the hypnotist or fear of what they might do in hypnosis. A good pre-talk is designed to remove these fears, but there is one fear that no pre-talk can remove, the fear that the some clients have that they may fail to go into hypnosis. Phase I takes care of all of these issues.

Phase II: Age Regression

Phase II: Age Regression (AR), as a minimum consists of:

1. Re-induction and deepening of hypnosis,

2. Age Regression, usually using the Affect Bridge Technique,

3. The Informed Child Technique, and

4. Direct Suggestion related to success for the issue that brought your client in.

In my view, AR is the Royal High Road of All Therapies! It is certainly one of the most powerful tools available to the hypnotherapist. However, I have talked with many hypnotherapists who have given up on its use because they could not reliably get their clients to experience true age regression (revivification). Good technique and use of Phase I to prepare clients will overcome this problem and greatly increase success in using AR.

With 5-PATH® your client comes in for Phase II, (usually the second session) looking forward to it. She is comfortable and in a positive frame of mind, expecting to do well. This positive mental state is best for achieving the deep hypnosis required for the coming phases of work.

The well-trained hypnotherapists understands that her client may have many false beliefs about how the problem started, or have no conscious awareness of when or how it started. This is why the Affect Bridge Age Regression Technique is the technique of choice when doing AR. You can use the affect or emotion associated with the problem as a “bridge” back to when it started.

AR is an uncovering and insight therapy. It brings knowledge and understanding about the issue into the conscious mind. This insight also does something else which is profound; it causes the subconscious and unconscious levels of the mind to go into a state of reorganization, making your client highly receptive to suggestions that are consistent to the insights just experienced.

This is why insight therapies such as AR, FOO and FOS are so powerful. As children we are highly suggestible; our minds are not yet made up about the world, and it is much like soft clay. But by the time we reach our teenage years our view of the world and ourselves sets into place, the clay hardens, our beliefs and personality become set. Insight therapies open our minds to suggestion for a short period of time increasing our suggestibility. We want to utilize this highly suggestible state by inserting important suggestions at the end of each session. The mind will quickly return to its more solid state. We want it to reorganize around these experiences and suggestions.

For example, a weight loss client experiences an AR session and finds that she was eating to comfort herself, using food to cope with uncomfortable feelings from her past. This insight causes her to look at food differently, and is now readily able to accept suggestions consistent with her experience. The session is completed by giving her suggestions that “From now on food is only fuel and you only eat when you are hungry.” The suggestions given at the end of the session work to develop new beliefs and behaviors based on the insights gained.

Phase III: Forgiveness of Others

Phase III: Forgiveness of Others (FOO) consists of having your client:

1. Hallucinate being with the person who hurt her,

2. Express how she feels about what was done to her,

3. Hallucinate being the person who hurt her and asks for forgiveness,

4. Forgives the person who hurt her, and

5. Then receives suggestions for change.

Looking at the above outline shows why FOO is Phase III. The AR process uncovers who needs to be forgiven. AR also provides both you and your client with a great deal of insight about the events that are associated with the problem (the Initial Sensitizing Even and Subsequent Sensitizing Events, which also aids in the forgiveness process). (See, The Ten Keys To Forgiveness, for more on forgiveness).

In this phase of treatment the therapist works as a mediator/counselor between the two (client and offender) so that the offender can come to a point of asking for forgiveness and helping the client to forgive the offender. This releases feelings of anger and attachment to the old behaviors generated by it (i.e., habits, addictions and anger issues).

Phase IV: Forgiveness of Self

Phase IV: Forgiveness of Self (FOS) consists of a very similar process as was done in the previous phase, but with some important differences. In this process your client:

1. Is divided into two different parts or selves, one called the Self and the other called the Mistake-Making Part, who represents her contribution to the pain in her life,

2. Is encouraged to express her feelings about what the Mistake-Making Part has done,

3. Is then encouraged to speak from the Mistake-Making Parts perspective so that insights can be gained about the cause of such painful behavior,

4. The Mistake-Making Part is better understood and renamed as a result of this new information as the Protective Part,

5. The two Parts are encouraged to forgive each other in the light of their new understanding, and finally,

6. Receives suggestions for reinforcing the new behaviors that will help her reach her goals.

FOS follows FOO because forgiving other people, especially the ones that contributed to your client’s problem creates a better mental environment for your client to truly forgive herself. Some clients will even ask you, after forgiving others (FOO), “What about me? I need to be forgiven too.” Also FOS comes after FOO because it is more difficult to forgive yourself when you are still harboring ill feelings such as anger toward others.

Phase V: Parts Mediation Therapy

Phase V: Parts Mediation Therapy (PMT) is a phase that often goes unused because the previous four phases, when done correctly are so powerful and complete that it is unusual to have to go any further. However there is a special situation where additional work may be needed. This is when Secondary Gain is an issue. The term “Secondary”Gain? describes situations in which a behavior or issue continues because there is something going on in the client’s present environment that either reinforces it or demands it, even though the cause of the problem no longer exists.

Some examples of Secondary Gain are psychogenic pain (where a client may experience pain after the cause has been eliminated) and alcohol or drug addiction (where an individual goes back to using the drug or alcohol because of her desire to continue to associate with her old friends).

PMT is based on a couple of influences such as the Parts Therapies taught by Charles Tebbetts and Gerald Kein as well as the techniques used in conflict resolution where mediators work with parties in conflict to reach win-win agreements.

Basically PMT consist of:

1. The therapist taking on the role of mediator,

2. The client being divided into the parts that are in conflict,

3. The need, wants or desires being fulfilled by the old behavior are uncovered,

4. New solutions are generated and agreed upon that will fulfill those needs, wants and desires,

5. The parts are reintegrated, and

6. Suggestions are given to reinforce the win-win behaviors that were agreed upon.

Since the reasons for continuing in the old behavior are uncovered, this too is an insight therapy, which causes your client to become very suggestible, so direct suggestion is used to end the session.

This has been a very brief discussion of a process that has proved itself time and time again. It is designed to give you an approach that you can use for most if not all of your client’s issues. It is especially effective in dealing with motivation, habits, psychogenic illness, anxiety, compulsions, fears and phobias, relationship issues and more.

5-PATH® is currently being used by hypnotherapists in 22 countries.

5-PATH® was inspired by the work of, Dave Elman, Gerald Kein, Charles Tebbetts and Richard Harte. Dave Elman’s book, Hypnotherapy, encouraged me to utilize instant and rapids inductions so that I can work with our clients in somnambulism and to use hypnotic age regression. Gerald Kein continues to encourage us to do so in his videos, courses and in the book we co-authored together. It was Mr. Kein who introduced me to a system he calls Universal Hypnotherapy, consisting of using age regression and forgiveness together, which is the foundation of 5-PATH®. Dr. Richard Harte convinced me to test clients to establish their level of hypnosis, and then I began to use those tests as “convincers.” (See, Use Hidden Tests and Convincers To Improve Success and Receive More Referrals, in the Hypno-Gram for more on convincers.) Charles Tibbetts work along with my own study of mediation theory contributed to the development of Parts Mediation Therapy.

I first became interested in hypnosis as a child, when listening to my grandmother tell me stories about her brother, my Uncle Ward who was a hypnotist. That turned out to be the beginning of a lifelong interest in psychology, philosophy and theology, which has resulted in my professional career in hypnosis and hypnotherapy.

Rapport

Have you felt like you know the person forever even though both of you just met? Well, this is rapport. If you have rapport with a person, you can trust and communicate with him instinctively.

A successful relationship with people is all based on rapport. Very often, we are not able to refuse requests in fear of offending people despite having a lot of matters on our hands. A big part of rapport is learning how to say “no” without affecting the relationship we have nurtured with the person. Keep in mind the consequences should you fail to keep to you promise.

Contrary to popular belief, you can build up rapport with a person whom you don’t feel “in sync” initially. You can achieve this through the following:

- Put yourself aside first and make the effort to understand what the person is keen on. Be aware of what matters and appeal to him.

- Get familiar with the person’s way of speaking. Take note of the phrases or vocabulary that appears often when he talk and try to subtly incorporate that into your conversation. Adapt your manner of speaking and body language to correlate with his communication style.

- Look past the actions and speech of the person. Try to understand the intention of the person so you can react accordingly.

Why Goals, Targets and Objectives Are Seldom Achieved

In your pursuit of success, you would have dream of your goals and aspirations. You might have done affirmations and started a vision board. You might also have written them down clearly in your journal and read them everyday, just like the books teach you to do.

But unless you’ve applied this NLP technique that you are about to learn, I am pretty sure that hitting goals and targets is not a frequent affair for you.

In fact, without this NLP technique, you certainly wouldn’t even feel satisfied with your achieved target. 

Discover how you can achieve your goals, target and objectives with clarity here

___________________________________________________

Sensory Awareness

Being aware of your surroundings allow you to spot minor differences that usually seem imperceptible. If you pay more attention to your senses such as noticing the subtle change in the facial expression and tone of voice of people around you, you will be more alert and prepared for the coming events. People who know to take advantage of opportunities are very in tune with their senses and they can strike at the right time to get the desired results.

Outcome Thinking

Have you ever find yourself stuck at an impasse, and no course of action seem to be the right way out? You need to realize that, sometimes, you just have to make do with the best out of the worst. One way of helping you to make the right decision is to think about what you hope to achieve at the end of the day. This is known as outcome thinking. That way, you have a much clearer idea of the steps to take to advance towards this goal.

Behavioural Flexibility

This refers to being flexible with your way of doing things should matters not go smoothly. One can possess immense willpower and perseverance but if they use the wrong approach to handle a situation, he won’t achieve what he want. Being receptive to other suggestions may help you look at the situation in a different light. Adopting new ideas and actions can produce results beyond your imagination. Stay open-minded and you will find that a whole new world may present itself right in front of you.
