Why Use Hypnosis to Improve Sports Performance?
Hypnosis is an incredibly powerful tool backed by hundreds of years of research and case studies. It can be applied in a wide variety of applications, and is especially effective in helping athletes to achieve their goals. Many people involved in fitness competitions, sports teams, and generally staying active turn to hypnotherapy in order to:
- Alleviate performance anxiety
- Reduce stress before, during, and after a game
- Improve concentration
- Reduce recovery time
- Build and reinforce confidence
- Better understand their strengths and weaknesses
- Explore their own potential
- Get better sleep
Of course, this is just a sample of reasons to use hypnosis. Many athletes choose hypnotherapy as a means for improving their form and technique. After all, all forms of physical activity require a strong mind-body connection in order to be mastered. Hypnosis helps to strengthen that connection and hone our athletic skills and abilities.
Using hypnosis and self-hypnosis, you’ll learn how to better deal with the stress that comes with playing sports and working out. Beyond that, hypnosis helps with feeling good on a day-to-day basis, not just on the field. A regular hypnosis practice will get you more comfortable with trusting your instincts and making your next move with confidence.
How Does Hypnosis Help Athletes?
Your own subconscious mind is your most effective tool for change. For the most part, this is a part of the brain that we have minimal access to. In our society, we’ve gotten so used to using the thinking mind that we’ve lost our natural ability to tap into the conscious mind. Hypnosis allows the user to bypass this limitation in order to communicate with the subconscious mind. From there, various methods such as imagery and breathwork are used in order to embody the desired goal. It is in creating the hypnosis suggestion and then using methods like visualizing or breathing techniques that the subconscious creates the new brain ‘rule’.
Hypnosis is a unique form of treatment in that it can be tailored to the needs of the user. During hypnosis and self-hypnosis, a variation of tone, volume and inflection can be used in order to achieve certain outcomes. For example, if the athlete wishes to remain calm during a game, they might choose to use a soft, whispering voice during self-hypnosis. In a sense, hypnosis allows the user to guide themselves towards the desired result.
Self-directed neuroplasticity, or the brain’s ability to change itself through thought, plays a major role in hypnosis. The process of changing your own brain can be challenging, and often there are obstacles that come up along the way. Hypnosis offers a pathway to using self-directed neuroplasticity in a way that works and is tailored to your own needs. Using hypnosis, you’ll find that your goals are more achievable than you’d previously thought!
