How Do You Take Action toward Your Goals?
https://youtu.be/lllwKJm6GVw I recently listened to a speaker explaining his method for increasing sales to business owners. It was full of goal setting, analyzing the number of calls to close ratios, and setting daily targets to get the required percentage by the end of the week. I was exhausted when all his calculations were worked backward […]
Hypnosis for Chronic Pain
https://youtu.be/ZPkNFscnEs4 It’s been a while since I talked about hypnosis for chronic pain. Of all of the issues that hypnosis can be of benefit, none have been studied as much as pain. The efficacy of hypnosis for pain management is scientifically sound. While I often speak of my personal success with self-hypnosis, people will have […]
How We See Others
I’ve been spending some time reflecting on how we see others. What it boils down to is that you decide how you are going to see them. You decide if they are nice, mean, smart, or stupid. And once you assign that label, you create them exactly like that. Your perception of everything shapes how […]
Conditions
https://youtu.be/crRCnDwqO5s Most people are condition-dependent. That is, you allow the conditions around you to control how you feel. You feel a need to soothe the critical eyes of how others see you. But here’s the thing. You will never be able to control how others see you, nor can you control any of the conditions […]
Be Selfish!
https://youtu.be/KPe2bh9jikg I want you to be selfish. That’s right. And I don’t mean just a little “ish”. I mean full out selfish! Let’s break this word down. Self means “a person’s particular nature or personality; the qualities that make a person individual or unique”. Ish – means “to some extent”. Put the two definitions together […]
Expectations
https://youtu.be/w65ki1O38Dc It’s true that people rise or lower to meet expectations. When you give someone, or are given a label, that’s a strong expectation. What labels have you been given, or have given yourself? A pain sufferer A victim A person who has “this” disease or diagnosis (fill in the blank) Fat, poor, stupid, fearful […]
Goals
https://youtu.be/sWvzR4pxAdc Goals. Most people are in a hurry to accomplish or attain things. Perhaps, like many others, you desire instant gratification or at least quick resolution. How thoroughly have you thought about the ones you have set for yourself? Are they in alignment with your beliefs and your expectations? Have you thought about how they […]
Mindset
https://youtu.be/7bzY57yhXZ4 People talk about mindset, but what does this really mean, and why is it important? Simply stated, mindset is the lens that you are looking through at any given moment. Are you pessimistic or optimistic? Nervous or excited? Stressed or calm? The right mindset helps you react to the unexpected things that come along […]
Living Imaginatively
https://youtu.be/yqzx4QCu-Qs I realize that I am happier in my imagination than in my observation. In my imagination I am creative, positive and forward thinking. In observing the conditions around me, I can get stuck in a reality that I have no control over. That doesn’t mean I sit with my head in the sand, oblivious […]
You Are on the River of Life
https://youtu.be/fu5RgsA06Xk You are where you are on the river of life. Just put your boat in the river and head toward your goals. The river will take you to where you want. Why are you paddling upstream when everything you want is downstream? Why do you feel you have to work so hard? Many people […]
