90DTC-4.02 Setting Goals That Become INEVITABLE

by

Welcome to DAY 2 of 90 Day Transformational Challenge #4! My name is Mark Shepard, “The Singing Hypnotist”…

And I will be your tour guide to transforming your life one day at a time (should you choose to join us on this adventure).

Today we have a Daily Mind Mastery video that you might want to watch several times. It’s all about how to set goals that are so deeply installed in your unconscious mind as to be practically, INEVITABLE.

I’ve also included some older videos below that explain the Inevitable Goal Setting process in more detail.


Links to videos from this program in Summer of 2016.

Short Goal Setting hypnosis Session from Transformation Tuesday Summer 2016

[Please Note: I can’t seem to find the videos yet from the class I taught last summer, I’ll keep looking for them. But in the meantime this is hopefully enough to get you started. – M]

The smart goal process:
Simple
Measurable
Attainable or “As if now”
Realistic
Timed, Transformational, Targeted

The basic goal setting format:

It is now ________________[specific date] and I am now __________________________________________ [describe specific, measurable, attainable, realistic timed as if now, desired goal, result or experience as if you actually have it].

Your Transformation Tune for the day is Song #59, “Entropy”

I’ve included two versions here today as a way to intentionally support the message in the video that we need to have some kind of process of gauging how far we’ve come in our transformational process. Personally I can hear a huge improvement from the first recording to the second one. Let me know what YOU think.

Here’s a live recording from 1989

Here’s a more recent version from 2015
Drop me a line and let me know how YOU are doing with YOUR transformational goal setting. What are YOU working on? If what you are working on seems to be universal enough to justify it, I’m recording specific hypnosis sessions for what the Transformation Tribe members in good standing are working on. If I do a hypnosis session for YOU I’ll give it to you for free and sell it at a reasonable cost to anyone else who might find it useful as well.

90 Day Challenge Kickoff!

by

And here we ARE! The 2017 1st 1/4 90 day Transformation Challenge HAS COMMENCED!

Sam is ready to switch jobs and wants to create a higher income and more job satisfaction…
Ulla is working on a new career as a corporate consultant…
Cal is working on feeling comfortable and confident conversing and even flirting with women…
Cathy wants to raiser her fees and expand her career as a professional speaker…
Samantha is learning how to speak up and ask for what she wants in her relationships…
Sue is working on creating healthy boundaries with her children (and her mother)…
Ed is working on clearing a fear of heights at his new job
Steve is working on losing 40 pounds…
Sean is exploring several new ways to increase his income from his online businesses…

You might say they are all seeking success in some form or another…

And the only thing that is stopping them is…

  1. doing it all alone…
  2. not having a safe place to run ideas by other people like them who won’t laugh or belittle their dreams or be that damned “Devils Advocate” at the inappropriate time…
  3. not having the coaching or the tools and techniques to master their minds for a change in order to get what they want, with whom they want, when they want and how they want, easier, faster, better.

And that’s where the 90 day challenge comes in.

You are no longer alone.

Here’s today’s Trance-Formation Tune to support and inspire you!

Tawk to me people. I’m listening.
– Mark

P.S. What do YOU need help with? Drop me a line. Let me know what you want to work on during the next 90 day challenge. If it is something that other people might want to work on as well, I will create a specific hypnosis session for that and add it to my course and program catalog…. If I use YOUR idea, I will gift it to you as my thank you for your participation and engagement!

Hypnosis For Foreign Language Fluency (and the 90 Day Challenge)

by

I got a sweet and wonderful email from one of the Transformation Nation members “at large,” Professional Airline Pilot, Javier from Spain… In response to my asking for emails from The “Tribe” to find out what folks are actively pursuing in their quest for excellence and improvements in their lives,  he writes,

You asked us to know how the last 90 day challenge went. In my case it was dedicated to my job, my profession, more specifically to improve an important aspect of it which is verbal communication in your very own language. You know, English is the aviation communication channel.

I’ve been struggling with it since I can’t even remember. My goal for the past 90 days was to get to the level I think is the threshold of getting on listening and understanding a language, being able to go to a movie or to watch a sitcom and catch, say, 99% of it. For me there is a kind of a blockage. I understand you in your videos almost perfectly, the same when I’m watching a documentary or any other “formal” presentation, but I’ve got real trouble with everyday English. (That includes songs, I’m afraid).

So I started my “parallel” , sort to speak, 90 day challenge with that objective in mind. And I say parallel because for me it is kind of impossible to join your group in a normal level of participation, always changing time zones and sometimes in areas with an awful or non existent internet connection.

My challenge had, interestingly enough, a final exam. A real one. As a complement to my flight license, we are obliged to pass an English proficiency test that in my case was due to be performed in December. So I used a good part of my spare time watching movies and sitcoms selected not by their interest, (some of them were appalling), but for their language registry and cadence.

Three months later I passed the test, revalidating my 5 in a scale of 6. I did it more confidently than the last time I took the test some six years ago. The center in which I had it this time, time constraints would’t allow me other choice, was only cleared to give a max qualification of 5. I was aiming for the 6, but we’ll never know…

So here I am again confronted with the new 90 day challenge. I will hover with you in the distance while keeping working on my communication skills, which I consider still an open front, trying to ease that blockage in my ears that prevents me to get at the level that I desire.

Besides that, I’ve made a point out of being able to see my abs too. 51 and counting, I’ve also been working in the suppression of sugar, flour and starch from my diet and made certain that that’s the way to go, though now it’s time to apply it in a consistent, stricter way. To quantify the challenge I’ll put it this way, a journey from 165 to 155 lbs. Let’s go for it…

Finally, I’d like to thank you for being there, I enjoy following your almost daily mastery as regularly as I can. It’s really inspiring.

Best luck with your endeavor, I’m sure you’ll fill all the spots for the next 90 day challenge, and I wish all the best for your bullying prevention program. You are doing a great task there. It’ll pay it’s due dividends for certain.

Happy New Year, my friend. Who knows, this 2017 could be the year we cross paths and I’d have the honor of meeting you in person.

Warm greetings, from the Canary Islands this time.

Javier F.

Thank You Javier!

I have to share this with the rest of you because YOU ALL inspire me!

I got fired up by Javier’s report. That’s why I ask for  each of you to ENGAGE with me and let me know what’s going on with you. Write me emails! I sincerely want to know. The world is so full of people who just get by. So many people settle for whatever life has flung at them.

I know YOU are different than most people!
Me Too! We are life long learners, we are constantly and continually seeking ways to improve ourselves and our lives and our circumstances. We are self investing ACTION takers. We read self help books and actually APPLY the ideas to our actual LIVES.

Look around? How many people do you know who actually work on improving themselves?

And sometimes we feel a bit like we are different,  “outsiders” or “Outliers” to use the term that Malcolm Gladwell uses. And you know what? It’s really cool to know that there are more of us out there.

COW-AH-BUNGAH! people! BOOM! Shazaaaaaam! Ah whoooo Ah! ZOOOOOOOM!

By way of thanking Javier, I created a hypnosis session this morning called, “FLUENT! : Hypnosis For Foreign Language Proficiency” and I dedicate it to Javier and anyone else who is seeking to master or be more masterful in a foreign language.

Because HE INSPIRED ME, I’m giving Javier free access to this hypnosis session. For anyone else who would also like to have it, you will discover that it is extremely affordable for a very short time.  So check it out! And just get it! It’s an instant digital download so literally in moments you can be dialing back your recliner and installing powerful language confidence deep, deep, deep in your unconscious mind where it will be totally and completely accessible for you when you want and need it most!

Get “FLUENT!” Hypnosis for Foreign Language Proficiency and Mastery

Speaking of the 90 day challenge. Monday January 9th is the actual Kickoff for my own challenge. I’ve narrowed down what I want to work on and all systems are “GO!”

There’s nothing to buy or sign up for..There is absolutely no risk other than your fear of whatever… and THAT’S exactly what we will be clearing in ourselves. We all have hesitancy, we all have fears. We all have concerns that need to be recognized, released, healed, this is a PROCESS for ALL of us.

Wherever you are in it, is perfect.

Sam is ready to switch jobs and wants to create a higher income and more job satisfaction…

  • Cal is working on feeling comfortable and confident conversing and even flirting with women…

  3. not having the coaching or the tools and techniques to master their minds for a change in order to get what they want, with whom they want, when they want and how they want, easier, faster, better.

And that’s where the 90 day challenge comes in.

You are no longer alone.

P.S. What do YOU need help with? Drop me a line. Let me know what you want to work on during the next 90 day challenge. I have a few private coaching spots available on a couple of different levels. If you want more help than just following along with the (almost) Daily Mind Mastery Email/blog post and Transformation Tune, just contact me and we can figure out if we can make that happen in a win/win way.

P.P.S. I almost forgot! Here’s your daily transformation tune! (part of my 90 day challenge for myself is to add one song every day that has yet to be added to my BandCamp site… you can also find my latest songs over at MarkShepardSongs.com

Bone Broth and the Mind Body Connection

by

Wow! It’s Friday already! Week one of the new year is blasting past. I don’t know if you’re experiencing similar things as the full fledged kick off of the next 90 day challenge looms on Monday.

  • What do I REALLY want to work on?
  • What’s a BIG goal but not so big that it overwhelms me?
  • Can I work on several things at once?
  • Any body out there got the “what ifs”?
  • What if I pay to join the exclusive master mind group and I don’t reach my goals by the end of the 90 days?
  • What if I DON’T join the 90 day Challenge Master Mind Group and I’m still stuck in the same rut as I was at the beginning of January?
  • What if I WANT to join but don’t think I can afford the investment in myself?

For me the motivating lever is that Albert Einstein “meme” that if I keep doing what I’ve been doing, I’m gonna keep getting the same results. That works for me to get my butt up off the couch and into action mode. Because I want BETTER results. I want to see measurable improvements in multiple areas of my life, health, wealth, relating, communicating, music, art, business, etc. If I’m continually taking effective action in all the areas of my life that matter to me, I’m going to keep getting better and better results…

BOOOM!

Speaking of ACTION. I made a fresh video for you the other day as I turned the leftover Christmas duck into the Jedi Mind Master’s secret weapon in the war against the Empire: Bone Broth.

Bone Broth. Bone Broth. Bone Broth. GLORIOUS bone Broth!

Bone broth is to your body what NLP and Hypnosis are to your mind.

And as usual I couldn’t help but lay down some Modern Jedi Mind Mastery Message Mojo while I was doing it. Just in case you’re new to what bone is, I’ve got some Bone Broth nutrition info and links below today’s Transformation Tune. If you’re new to what Modern Jedi Mind Mastery Message Mojo is, you’ve got to get yerself signed up for the Daily Mind Mastery… Any optin box on this site will get you started with THAT.

But first, here’s the video:

Today’s Transformation Tune is:

Song # 469, “Take The Hand I Have Extended”

Why is Bone Broth so good?

Bone Broth…

Helps heal and seal your gut, and promotes healthy digestion: The gelatin found in bone broth is a hydrophilic colloid. It attracts and holds liquids, including digestive juices, thereby supporting proper digestion Inhibits infection caused by cold and flu viruses, etc.: A study4 published over a decade ago found that chicken soup indeed has medicinal qualities, significantly mitigating infection
Reduces joint pain and inflammation, courtesy of chondroitin sulphates, glucosamine, and other compounds extracted from the boiled down cartilage Fights inflammation: Amino acids such as glycine, proline, and arginine all have anti-inflammatory effects. Arginine, for example, has been found to be particularly beneficial for the treatment of sepsis5 (whole-body inflammation).

Glycine also has calming effects, which may help you sleep better
Promotes strong, healthy bones: As mentioned above, bone broth contains high amounts of calcium, magnesium, and other nutrients that play an important role in healthy bone formation Promotes healthy hair and nail growth, thanks to the gelatin in the broth

Check out Dr. Joseph Mercola’s excellent article on Bone Broth, “Bone Broth Benefits”

As I state in my video, we can NOT separate peak performance from healthy digestion, physical fitness and mental clarity. These are NOT separate things! It’s all connected.

And in order for you to go for your big dream or even be able to function throughout your day, you need to build a strong foundation of health. Contrary to the typical mass media mythology, Hypnosis doesn’t automatically make you healthy.

Hypnosis is about communicating to yourself the desired behaviors and habits you WANT to engage in, in such a way that your unconscious mind “gets on board” and allows it to happen. Easier. Faster. Better. That’s it. No big deal. No magical hocus pocus… It’s communicating with yourself EFFECTIVELY. We’re ALL communicating with our unconscious minds ALL the time. But most of us are literally hypnotizing ourselves to keep getting what we’ve been getting.

But ultimately it IS magical. Your thoughts, your focus, your attention, your beliefs, your decisions ALL influence your body… and vice versa. When we work on the full process of making small sustainable improvements in each area of our lives… at some point it DOES seem magical.

There are still 3 seats left for the next 90 day master mind.

After Monday the door closes until April. And I can’t promise that there will be another open admission for the challenge after this one…. because it all depends on where THIS one goes for me. I will definitely be doing it for myself. The90 day thing has totally upped my own “game”. But if you would like to have the benefit of the powerful “mastermind effect” with my personalized attention and coaching now. Take action Now to invest in yourself and come join the “cool kids” in the inner circle of groovyness and all things “cowabungah.”

If you have even a smidgeon of desire to create something better NOW in your life rather than LATER… go to this link and scroll down to the bottom, click the blue button and say “Yes!” to being a part of an elite inner circle of action taking Modern Jedi Mind Masters on the Move!

The Albany Peace Project: Meditation? Hypnosis? Coherence?

by

I’m extremely honored to be the meditation leader for the Albany Peace Project today. The core idea is that when groups of people focus their mind’s intention together, there is actually a MEASURABLE effect in the “field” of the collective unconscious Mind. Crime rates drop. Violence decrease in war torn areas. Today I’m doing my little part to increase the peace in downtown Albany NY. Wanna help? It’s fun. Just click and take a few moments to follow the meditation (which in my mind is not so different from self hypnosis). Please share and like and all that stuff too. It helps. Thanks!

Tons of studies have been done by the TM people that legitimately show a direct corellation between the numbers of people meditating towards a specific peace making or crime reducing goal. My dear friend Bethany Gonyea started this 4 years ago after dreaming and visioning it for years. I was so inspired by her that I wrote this song:

I told Bethany last night on the phone that I’ve been walking around my home and office all day chanting, “Peace in Albany, Peace in Albany. Peace in AWE-BANY!!!” LOL… I tend to be a bit of an ACITVE meditator! :o)

But here’s the bottom line. The more people who click on the soundcloud meditation player the better. We are attempting to determine what the “effective dose” of people participating is. You can help. You can make an actual MEASURABLE difference int he world by clicking the recording and holding “Peace in Albany” in YOUR mind… You don’t have to walk around the house chanting it like me, but Hey, it might actually be helpful AND fun.

In essence on a much larger scale than my 90 day Transformation Challenge, it is the MASTERMIND effect in action. When minds come together for a common shared purpose, magical things can happen.

Have Questions? I’m a real person.
