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.

AutoSuggestion
https://youtu.be/soCLWJZ2POs A very simple method of self-hypnosis is called autosuggestion, where you give yourself suggestions. This idea was developed by Émile Coué in the late 1800’s.

Experiences for a New Year – Manifest What you Want
https://youtu.be/jJH9BUfiiIE This is an exercise in learning that the real reward is in the journey, not necessarily in the destination. Allow for at least 15-20 minutes to do this exercise in detail. Think of something that you really, really, really want. Imagine that it has already come to fruition. On a piece of paper, write […]
