Do you have a personal method of programing yourself?

Ok, I might be using the wrong type of wording here. I have my own way of an instant, meditation, and more. I found out by reading that you could program yourself to respond to lets say a certain posture or word. I would thinkk this would fall under self hypnosis.. Mine had come to the point where the moment I touch my right thumb to my right ring finger, then left thumb to left ring finger. I made sure to make it a two step prosess just in case the "What if" problem.
