Examples of daily hypnosis are: daydreaming, driving a car and realizing that you're further than expected. Another example is when one is engrossed in a book or movie and not hearing someone speak to you.

These are examples of a light hypnotic state. In these instances, the conscious part of the mind had been distracted allowing the subconscious mind to take over. You have probably seen Olympic champions or professional athletes pause for a few minutes before competing --many are utilizing the power of their mind by entering self-hypnosis to improve their focus, concentration, and performance.
