Think hypnosis is hocus-pocus? If so, you're dismissing a powerful tool for improving work performance, says psychotherapist Brian Alman. "Self-hypnosis" is a form of deep relaxation that helps you focus, solve problems and relieve anxiety over presentations and deadlines," he says. Here's how try it: Step 1 : Close your eyes and breathe slowly and deeply Step 2: State a specific goal like "I'll feel confident about presenting my market analysis." Step 3: Keeping eyes closed, count from 1 to 100, then back to 1. Step 4: Repetitive statements will focus your mind on achieving your goal. When you open your eyes, you'll be relaxed and ready to work.
