Free Hypnosis Scripts - Compulsive Shopping

Amanda Upton, CHP

     Today you will learn to take charge of your spending so that you can live your best life. I want you to imagine that you are in the store you pleasure shop in the most. Take a moment and imagine the sights you may see and hear the sounds you may hear. Now, take a deep breath…and let it out…. Ahhh….so relaxed….Now I want you to imagine you have found something you would like to buy. Imagine what the item looks like… how the item feels in your hand. Take a moment and feel the emotions that make you want to purchase this item. You may feel pleasure, or a sense of excitement, or any other numerous other things… Just feel those emotions…

      Now I want you look deeper within yourself… deep within your subconscious and look for the driving reasons you may buy something that is more than you can afford to spend. You may feel that shopping alleviates stress or gives you a sense of escape…or a sense of control….whatever it may be…try to identify the reason that you buy things that keep you from being financially sound. Now, I want you to see yourself in the distant future 10, 20, or even 30 years from now. Imagine what your life will look like if you keep spending this way. Will you have been able to afford the things that will make you truly happy throughout your life? How would the unregulated spending have affected your relationships? If you keep spending…will you feel guilty or mad at yourself?

    Now, imagine your life if you take charge of your spending right now. Right now you are a responsible spender. Imagine your older self once again. A healthy, happy responsible spender. You have taken control of your finances. Imagine how wonderful this make your older self feel? Your older self may feel proud that your younger self took control or it may feel blissful because you have lived your life with financial success… or any other wonderful emotions. You are now a responsible spender.

     You only buy things when you have the money in the bank to be able to afford them. You have control over your spending. You know that in the end to lead a truly fulfilled and successful life you must have control over your finances. Now, when you feel an urge to buy something out of your budget…you take three deep breathes and walk away feeling proud of yourself…happy that you can control the urge to shop…confident that your finances will be healthy and so will you. Your life is better and more joyful because you only spend on what you can afford.
