One thing that works for me is to allow my mind to wander while my body relaxes. The whole point of hypnosis is for the instructions to get to your subconscious mind without your conscious one getting in the way. Some people find that relaxing the mind to the point where it kind of shuts down is the thing to do. I prefer letting my mind wander - thinking about anything BUT the hypnosis. It has the same effect - since the mind is distracted, it's not in the way. So at the least, relax the body, and if you can't make the mind relax, make it wander. Trance follows.
