Have any of you gotten any positive results from using hypnosis or affirmations to change your beliefs about yourself? If so, what did you do?

A lot of teachers teaching the pick up arts seem to focus upon teaching the outer game things like what to do (body language) and what to say (routines, stories, etc). But, it seems to me that if you go out there and do these "outer game" things without ever working on your "inner game" then you're in trouble. That's like taking a fake it until you make approach. Not to say that can't work either, it just doesn't seem like the best way to go about it to me. Wouldn't it be better to work on your inner game first? To reprogram your subconscious mind with hypnosis or affirmations to get rid of the fear based beliefs that hold you back.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that even Gambler used affirmations at first to build up his confidence. I think he said he didn't use to believe he was very attractive so he repeated an affirmation over and over - I am attractive, or I am sexy - something like that. And after reprogramming his subconscious mind and changing his beliefs about himself he begin to get compliments from girls telling him how sexy he is.

Personally I want to change my beliefs about myself before I ever walk out the door. I want to believe that I am bold and socially fearless. I want to be confident and comfortable talking to anybody, I want to feel that way before I open my mouth. And yeah, maybe forcing yourself to just go out there and talk to people can eventually over time help to release your fears. But, wouldn't reprogramming your mind and your beliefs in the first place with hypnosis or affirmations speed up the process. Personally, I think once you believe you are confident, you will feel confident and your body language will take care of itself and work in your favor without you having to think about it. And couldn't we use hypnosis or affirmations to make us feel confident, attractive, etc?

Have you used hypnosis or affirmations to change your inner beliefs? Please share the results with us?
Thank you

Yes it works

its best if you do have headphones out when u sleep and have it to loop all night in mp3
I sleep 6 hours so I have an attract women subliminal positive affirmations with over 200 affirmations playing all night 60X

It was alot more easier to talk to girls

but really what helped me the most and sped up the process is actually doing it cuz
action does speak louder than words

with actions and the results , I have proof that i am a much more confident person.

I'm surprised that worked for you because I've heard somewhere that listening to affirmations while sleeping doesn't actually work. Maybe it does, who knows. I know it wouldn't work for me though because I would never be able to fall asleep in the first place while listening to something. I'm a very light sleeper - seems like everything disturbs my sleep.

I have tried software that flashes my affirmations on my computer screen in the form of subliminal messages. I did that every day for weeks and it didn't do anything for me. Although there seems to be evidence that subliminal messages do work, I'm not sure why they didn't work for me. I felt like it was perhaps because my conscious mind wasn't participating in the process.

Ok, so I have come up with a new affirmation. Not sure if this is a good way to do it, but It is simple, easy to remember, and to the point:

"I'm bold, and socially fearless. I will talk to anybody. There are no strangers. I make friends and attract girls easily."

What do you think? I thought I could repeat my affirmation everyday while exercising to reprogram my subconscious mind.

It's one thing saying "I read that it didn't work" and another thing trying it. They help but it's also good to let go of the negative programming with something such as Sedona Method or EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique.)

The only part I would change Nick is changing 'there is no strangers' to something more positive such as "everybody is my friend" as in that case you don't want to focus on the negative unless you are eliminating something such as fear or whatever.
