Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t remember the name of the hypnosis book, but I know it<span style=\"font-size: inherit;\"> at that time the book had an enormous impact: I understood that I could &#8220;program&#8221; myself somehow, that I could write programs in my mind. So I spent many nights sleeping in the iron bed of the Buzau Police High School repeating in my mind various phrases for increasing personal skills and &#8220;learning better&#8221; for the exam to be given at the Police Academy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-tadv-p=\"keep\"><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">I was inspired by this technique, including to prepare for French: I had a walkman with tape \ud83d\ude00 with which I recorded the French teacher (with her agreement, of course!) with which I was preparing talking about various subjects of admission and that I put in the evening, at bedtime, at headphones, and listening to them until I was asleep &#8230; and after;) Yes, our brain receives information even when we sleep so I prepared myself then in my sleep too 8 -)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-tadv-p=\"keep\">Later there were various moments in life in which I used the technique of self-hypnosis, but not regularly or organized &#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-tadv-p=\"keep\">Anyway, I used it specifically to learn better \/ faster and I didn&#8217;t manage to use it efficiently to change my habits and behaviors&#8230; the natural tendencies. I was &#8211; as it turned out in the one-hour test in Psychology &#8211; choleric! \ud83d\udc7f I annoyed myself quickly, &#8220;going crazy&#8221; and I was quickly out of control <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/11.2.0\/svg\/1f621.svg\" alt=\"?\" \/> I mean those moments of annoyance that most people have, for example in traffic, when they swear and curse others. I was not crazy, it was all the psychological tests I had passed without emotion every time I gave them. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-tadv-p=\"keep\">To come back: I was not in any way able to see that I was upset, much less to control myself. I was getting angry, that&#8217;s it! I&#8217;m talking about the interior, how I felt, not from the outside. I was not beginning to scream or slam&#8230; every time. \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-tadv-p=\"keep\">Another example that clearly showed my lack of inner peace was the nail&#8217;s redness: I always had a finger &#8220;eaten&#8221; or red&#8230; Not nice at all! : Roll:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-tadv-p=\"keep\">There were many moments when I was repeating in my mind that &#8220;I am strong&#8221; or &#8220;I trust myself&#8221; or other and other formulas. However, I did not feel that what I was doing was enough. In addition, various life events such as the divorce that did not let me have a true inner balance came over me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-tadv-p=\"keep\">Well, all year 2011 was a very stressful year for me: my father was cancerous and did not look good at all. That&#8217;s what I have told extensively about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.viata.org\/en\/2019\/03\/cancerul-prima-parte\/\">here<\/a>. You realize that I was not at all relaxed&#8230; To this was added in 2012 the death of his father &#8211; in February, and of a very old friend of my childhood, Daniel &#8211; in March. I was overwhelmed. At the funeral of Daniel I did not even have the power to go: I just refused. Too much!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-tadv-p=\"keep\">All 2012 I was tormented with the thought that I could do something else for my father &#8211; anything that would have been better, plus I was already thinking about myself: many articles, much information about cancer that can be genetic. Hmm&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-tadv-p=\"keep\">That&#8217;s how I arrived in the autumn, November, I think, to talk to a good friend about mental programming at a dinner that I remember perfectly in a Mexican restaurant I&#8217;ve been attending for many years. And because in many moments of my life I was open and inspired to see synchronicities, I decided to go to that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.viata.org\/en\/2019\/03\/programarea-mentala\/\">Mental Programming Course<\/a> which he recommends.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-tadv-p=\"keep\">The course was on the 8th and 9th of December 2012. Two wonderful days, in which I began to think I could really be balanced. I felt that something was changing to me, but I could not imagine what changes I would make.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-tadv-p=\"keep\">Because I liked it so much that I started the changes right away&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-tadv-p=\"keep\">Dear fully,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\" data-tadv-p=\"keep\">Sebastian<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My story starts somewhere in 1992-1993 when, in high school, I read the book &#8220;Lifetime plan for success&#8221; written by Dale Carnagie.
