Peak Performance Hypnosis Is NOT Just For Athletes

by

8612802_sI get quite a few inquiries from peak performance athletes who have hit some kind of block or snag in their sport. Usually it’s a “mental” thing. They have the talent. They train hard. They have solid fundamentals and good coaching but “something” is getting in the way.

We have a word for it: “Interference”

Performance = Potential – Interference

Today I got an email from “Jay” in Georgia.

Mark,
I have experienced a recent decrease in exercise (running) performance.  At first I was improving quickly.  Can hypnosis address this?

The answer is “Yes”.

HOWEVER, obviously there are a lot of details missing so I’ll answer the question with what I know from working with a lot of other athletes as well as CEO’s, Musicians and other peak performers.

First of all I LOVE working with athletes because unlike most other demographic groups who seek help with hypnosis, athletes UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF COACHING.

What I mean by that is this: No basket ball player expects his or her coach to go out onto the court in the middle of a game and shoot the baskets FOR him/her. The player UNDERSTANDS that it is ultimately the player’s responsibility to APPLY the coach’s suggestions and guidance in a way that gets the desired results.

You don’t often see that with people who are seeking hypnosis for smoking or weight loss. Those groups often think that somehow the hypnotist will do the quitting or exercising FOR THEM. :o)

The second thing I LOVE about working with athletes is that they are familiar with keeping score. We can’t improve what we don’t measure. So they understand the self discipline required to keep track of their performance so they can tell if they are improving or not.

The third thing I love about athletes is that they are ALREADY action takers. They are applying themselves and working on themselves all the time. That’s a key ingredient to any successful endeavor or desired outcome.

One area though where athletes stumble is that many of them haven’t been trained in peak performance thinking.  One of the terms for that is “mental toughness”.

12181482_s-2The sport I probably see the most in my practice is Baseball and Softball players.

There is often just too much time spent thinking in this sport!

And in many ways, because baseball is so strategically designed, baseball attracts really smart people.

As with all forms of performance anxiety, the power of a single negative thought at the wrong time can totally mean the difference between a short stop shooting a ball directly into the first baseman’s mitt or just a bit too high for it to be “catchable”.

They even have a name for it, “Chuck Knoblauch Syndrome” or the “Yips”.

The same process though shows up in every sport. I’ve worked with figure skaters and ballet dancers who had all the talent in the world but when it came to the actual performance/competition, the mental stress of an performing in front of an audience or in a significant competition caused them to “choke”. We would call that “performance anxiety”.

How the athlete (or any peak performer) deals with and recovers from “mistakes” or “errors” is all in the realm of “mental game”.

That is one area where honest hypnosis can be of huge help. Once you understand how you are “wired” and how you “do the process of peak performance or lack of performance” then you can be in control of improving and maintaining excellence.

As far as “Jay” the runner? What I see with runners and other endurance athletes is hitting performance plateaus which they most usually attempt to PUSH through by training harder.

Unfortunately training harder often results in a decrease in performance as well as increased risk of injury.

The prescription for that is RECOVERY time and better training methods combined with a new mental approach to learn how to listen to your body.

It is also helpful to be able to discern when you’re being lazy (we all are to some degree) and when your body just needs some damn rest. And that requires an open line of communication with your Unconscious Mind.

I often find that when I give ANYTHING a couple of days rest I return refreshed and measurably more effective and productive.

Remember weekends? Remember Sundays? The Sabbath? There was a reason for the “day of rest.” We are not machines.

So this lesson applies to ALL  of us who desire peak performance.

For my athletes as well as my weight loss folks, I highly recommend exploring “Slow Burn Fitness” techniques. By slowing down any typical resistance training exercise, you can get better results from less time. You also give your body a break from long boring training.

I also highly recommend focusing your mind on what you want instead of what you don’t want. Consistently. Persistently.

Typically the baseball player with the “yips” is literally imagining missing the throw and letting down the team. That’s actually a negative form of self-hypnosis. Stop it! :o)

Call it Performance Anxiety or “Interference”.
It is your mind getting in the way of your performance.

It affects all kinds of peak performers, not just athletes! Musicians, actors, artists, writers, dancers, business executives, sales people, teachers, leaders, students… the solution?

Master your mind for a change!

My online Mental Toughness Trainings are currently in the works. If you’re not on the Daily Mind Mastery list yet, grab your spot and I promise you will be among the first to know when your online athletic peak performance hypnosis course is ready for you to devour. :o)

In the meantime, since performance anxiety, not lack of talent or skill is most often at the root of sports “failure”, check out my CRUSH anxiety Now! program for 30 days of powerful mental tools and techniques to get you back to a state of calm, courageous, confidence where you can CRUSH it on the field, on stage, in the board room or the bed room.

Are You Honest With Yourself?

by

16357414_sMind Mastery Daily:

Are You Being Honest With Yourself?

Master Your Mind For A Change
with America’s Honest Hypnotist,
Mark Shepard, CHT, NLPT

[Quick shout out to new members Ellen, and Linda! Welcome to The Transformation Tribe!]

Today’s article was inspired by one of my daily inspirational conversations with my dear friend Michael Guerin. He pointed out that Honest Hypnosis is not just about me clearing through the BS of the “Hollywood Hypnosis Myth” but of the person seeking transformational help being honest with themselves as well…

Smoking? Do you honestly want to quit or is someone else telling you that you SHOULD?

Weight Loss? Do you honestly want to lose weight or is the truth that you just want to keep eating what you’ve been eating and drinking while sitting on the couch watching TV WISHING the weight would go away?

Anxiety? Do you honestly want to ditch the agoraphobia or social anxiety, or are you just wishing it would go away without you having to do anything or think anything differently?

Performance anxiety? Fear of success? Do you really want to be a top level athlete, artist, musician, speaker, entrepreneur? Or is the truth that it’s a lot safer to just avoid confronting your fears and doubts about your own brilliance and potential for greatness…

Honest hypnosis is not just about me being honest about the fact that YOU are the MOST POWERFUL HYPNOTIST in the world…

It’s not just me being honest about the fact that whenever someone changes something with the help of a hypnotist, the ACTUAL hypnosis happens INSIDE you.

It’s not just me being honest about the fact that WHENEVER anyone, anywhere, any time makes any kind of significant personal transformation, IT IS HYPNOSIS. IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN HYPNOSIS. AND IT ALWAYS WILL BE HYPNOSIS…

because….

Hypnosis is the PROCESS of your CONSCIOUS MIND and your UNCONSCIOUS MIND getting together and communicating effectively with each other, playing on the same team, working toward the same end goal…

The biggest secret of all is that unless YOU are honest with YOURSELF… and actually consistently and persistently DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT…
Starting with THINKING DIFFERENTLY, the change you “say” you want will elude you.

That’s why having a purpose problem is so great. Because if you want something badly enough EVENTUALLY you will sit down and have an honest talk with yourself…

I spent most of  my life chasing the fantasy of being a hugely successful rock star singer/songwriter… and it was only recently that I sat down and had an HONEST talk with myself.

It started when I had this big fantasy about interviewing one of my musical heroes, Bruce Cockburn when he came to Albany recently… I glanced at his tour schedule to see if there might be a time when I could propose that we chat by phone or whatever, and my stomach churned…  The schedule looked really BRUTAL to me. AS IN NO FVCKING WAY DO I WANT TO BE ON THE ROAD ALL THE TIME… YUCK!

And then it hit me. I have ALWAYS written songs.  But the performing part I can take or leave.  I enjoy performing and I’m told I’m a powerful and engaging performer, but at what point does it become a “JOB”?

And the “being on the road all the time” travel part? Not something I want to do a lot of. I like my freedom to flow through my day without racing to catch buses or trains or planes or sitting on my ass in a car for long periods of time…

So the honest answer was, NO. I don’t actually want to be a full time, traveling musician… because it would get in the way of me being a songwriter… oh. Hadn’t thought about it like that before… Hmmmm.

But I do want to touch and transform the lives of other people in a positive, healing, transformational way with my words, my music, my voice, my writing, my songs, my heart, my love of transformation and personal growth, peak performance and freedom to evolve and grow while at the same time earning a living by providing 10x the value people pay for in my self help courses….

And oh, I can use my music in my courses and on this daily mind mastery blog… How cool is that?!

The reality I create can actually be better than the fantasy!

I love jamming in my living room with my friend Mike Covey. I LOVE making music each week at my Unity Church with Roger Mock, Pete Furlong and Sarah Puig.

I also love sleeping in my own bed. Gardening in my yard. Taking walks at the end of the day. Using my car less and less frequently.

Oh! You mean, I’m ALLOWED to be HAPPY?

Even if the thing I THOUGHT I wanted so much that DROVE me to do all this personal work on myself turns out to not be what I wanted after all?

Cool.

To put it in a more material example. You hear the same story from guys who were just obsessed with making a million dollars…

They strive and struggle and pull the absolute best out of themselves only to discover one day that a million bucks isn’t really what they wanted after all, it was the FREEDOM to do what they wanted, be who they wanted, go where they wanted and have what they wanted…

It’s nice to be able to tool around in a Ferrari  but the honesty piece comes in when they look over and see someone driving a beat up economy hatchback next to them on the highway and realize that a super car and a compact car driving 55 miles per hour are both doing the job. They are both traveling the same speed on the same highway. Sure, one is fancier and flashier and prettier. But they are both moving someone from point “A” to point “B”.

Job done.

What’s the big deal? Whether in a Ferrari or a Toyota the true miracle is that you ain’t walking! A little over 100 years ago and you would be walking or riding a horse… on a muddy trail. NOT on a super highway. Journeys that take us only minutes would take all day. Journeys that take all day now would take WEEKS.

FREEDOM is the big deal. No matter what that looks like for you.

So HONESTY does not have to be bad or hard or harsh. It doesn’t mean you stand in front of your mirror hating on yourself.

It means you stop lying to yourself so you can focus on creating what you actually, truly, desire for yourself.

Call it: CLARITY or “ECOLOGICAL CONGRUENCE”.

And this is where any decision or direction in your life has to pass the win/win/win/win test…

Check this little questionnaire out for yourself and apply it to your big dream or desired change:

(be HONEST now ok! :o)

  • Is it good for me?
  • Is it good for my conscious mind?
  • Is it good for my unconscious mind?
  • Is it good for others? My intended audience or clients or customers?
  • Is it good for my community?
  • Is it good for the planet?
  • When the answers to all those questions line up as YES! Then it is a “go”.

If there is a “no” anywhere along there, it is not time to get all mean and “judgemental” on yourself. It’s simply a signal that some more deep work needs to be done. That’s all.

And the”deep” work is what we are here to do.

Honestly.

Life Lessons In A Laundromat

by

33468779_sIs that how you spell Laundromat?

It looks weird. Oh well. If spell check says that’s the way to spell it, cool.

So yesterday, an extremely intelligent person from Denmark signed up on the Honest Hypnosis Daily Mind Mastery list…

Which triggered an immediate REACTION from me.

I LOVE DANISH PEOPLE!

Ok so maybe that’s a bit of a generalization (I’m sure there are a few Danes who are not awesome I just haven’t met any of them) but I have a ton of stories about Danish people I’ve known and loved over the course of my life.

There was my next door neighbor, Olaf K. (can’t spell his last name so I’m not gonna try) who told me a story once about how the Nazi’s in World War II held him by his ankles outside a window 12 stories up and threatened to drop him if he didn’t “co-operate”.

Luckily they didn’t drop him even though he refused to play by their rules. But pretty intense shit huh?

Lesson from Olaf: People are a lot more than they seem on the surface.

Danes seem to be easy going and carefree people. BUT THEY ARE TOUGH. Remember the VIKINGS? They were SERIOUS bad asses… and yep. A lot of them were DANISH.

Well Olaf had a niece and 2 nephews come to visit one summer and my sister and I got to go on a lot of cool adventures with Anders and Jesper and Lena… I particularly enjoyed when Lena casually took her top off at the town swimming pool not realizing that we Americans are a prudish lot when it comes to women’s Bikini tops…

When my sister pointed this out, Lena, without a trace of embarrassment put her top on and “blended”.

Lesson from Lena: Hey! It’s just not that big a deal. Whatever. Move on.

But what I really want to share today is the lesson I learned in a grungy Peekskill NY laundromat…

It was sometime in the mid 1990’s Maybe 1995? 1996? Not sure.

I was in a laundromat because my wife and I and our 3 kids were living in a tiny 2 bedroom apartment… This was after we had lost the 4 houses I’d foolishly bought for nothing down at the top of the 1980’s real estate bubble… which had “conveniently” BURST… leaving us… broke… but alive and healthy… (and experienced. Never dismiss the power of experience to serve you LATER).

The rest of the family was off doing something and I was soaking up the quiet, alone time that I love so much… While I was doing the laundry at the laundromat, I was reading an inspirational book… (cause that’s the kind of book I ALWAYS read)….

and out of the corner of my eye…

I noticed this young guy.

Early 20’s.

He was filthy.

Blonde. You might say he was “dirty blonde”.

He was politely asking people in the laundromat if they knew of a train station he could sleep at…

There was something about his jeans that somehow just “screamed” Danish.

The jeans were just NOT American jeans… They were cut differently, the length was not quite “American”. The stitching on the pack pockets was unusual… or something…

It’s those subtle things that our unconscious minds easily pick up on and register so rapidly we often don’t realize it…

When I heard the lilt of his accented English, I just knew he was Danish.

The Danes kind of sing their language. And I LOVE that.

Since I love Danish people so much I asked him, “You’re Danish aren’t you?”

Yep.

Turns out, he was visiting the US on vacation and while in NYC, someone had beat him up, stolen all his luggage and left him lying in an alley.

Someone called the police, and the police?

THEY ARRESTED HIM!

So he spent a few nights in jail before he was able to convince them he was not a threat to the safety of the rest of New York City. So the cops released him with no money. No passport. Nothing but the clothes on his back.

What a great vacation! What a shitty way to experience America huh?

But what struck me was that he was not whiny or complaining in the least. He was simply executing his survival plan, hitchhiking his way to Canada where he had friends.

He’d been sleeping in train stations and working his way north from New York City as best he could WITH NO MONEY.

I was just stunned by his positive, empowered ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE. He was literally having the adventure of his LIFE!

So we talked a bit more and I invited him to come home with me to have some food and a shower.

So he did.

What was even cooler? After he got cleaned up and had eaten, he thanked me and headed on his way. He didn’t try to “get more”. He didn’t ask me for money. He received my assistance without shame or hesitancy. But he also respected me and himself in a way that is hard to put into words.

He headed out into the muggy summer evening to continue his journey… His “ADVENTURE” as he put it.

A month or so later I got a postcard from him thanking me and letting me know that he had gotten home to Copenhagen safely.

The lesson? Which one? LOL

The lesson for me at the time (feeling a lot of shame for “failing” or “losing everything”) was this:

You can lose all your “stuff” and still keep what is most powerful and precious:

Your spirit, your willingness to explore and learn and grow from whatever EXPERIENCES life brings.

And THAT is why I love Danish people.

When I thought about that guy, I didn’t feel so sorry for myself anymore. And I went on to have many more “learning opportunities” in the adventure of my own life.

I don’t know how he remembers his “vacation” in America, but his gift to me that night was far, far greater than whatever I offered him.

So your Mind Mastery “take away” for today?

Attitudes and beliefs as well as how we “interpret” whatever is going on in our lives, make a MASSIVE difference in whether we choose to be victims or victors.

We ALWAYS have the power to USE whatever life presents. And that is the difference that makes a difference.

Ultimately it is the only true FREEDOM we have.

When Things Don’t Work

by

41351863_sWhen Things Don’t Work The Way You Want Them To…

  • It could be a wake up call
  • It could be a momentary annoyance
  • It could be a blessing
  • It could be a challenge
  • It could be a test
  • It could just be fvcking annoying…

Whatever the case the opportunity is always there to respond RESOURCEFULLY.

Case in point: This morning NONE of my videos and NONE of my audios on ALL OF MY WEBSITES would play…

There was some “security update” in WordPress… I still have no clue other than the fact that we have to respond and do something about over 1,000 videos and audios that now need to be re-coded…. Not what I was planning on doing this weekend.

In the past I would have freaked out and gotten all upset as I imagined none of my online courses being able to deliver as promised… I could have imagined all the complaints and refunds and hassle…

But instead, I submitted a support ticket and my business partner started moving some of my most crucial videos to another hosting site…

Basically a good idea that in the future will give us more flexibility and options… duplicate delivery routes.

The old saying goes, “There’s more than one way to skin a cat”… no offense to cat lovers but you get the idea.

It’s something I come back to over and over again in many of my courses and in my daily podcasts and videos.

As masters of our own minds, we always have a choice as to how we respond to things that seem “bad” at the time.

Looking back on my life it is pretty clear that most of the stuff that was “bad” was literally moving me towards a much better reality, but without the push and urgency of the “bad” thing happening, I would have just stayed where I was.

So one of my own daily practices with my own personal mind mastery practice is to vent and curse if necessary to blow off some steam but to NEVER take my venting or cussing seriously. So I often do it now for the fun of it with a wry smile on my face… That done, I use my personal power tools to change my thoughts, my physiology and my behavior to resolve and release whatever the problem is.

If there is nothing I can do about a challenge for the present moment, then I let it go. I don’t drop it or give up, but I don’t waste time on something I can’t fix right now.

For example, I have yet to hear back from tech support about my video and audio files… AND because I tried to get my own tech guy to help me and he hadn’t set up his own user name etc for the video hosting service, and logged in while I was logged in, I am now locked out of my own server account… LOL!

So I focused on some other things that I had been meaning to work on. Got those done and thanks to all of that, I now have my daily Mind Mastery topic for today.

When things don’t work the way we want them to, it could also mean that we are not consciously understanding what is really the problem. It’s kind of hard to solve a problem that you don’t know exists or to think you are solving a problem when in actuality you are treating a symptom not a cause.

This is something that I keep coming back to all the time in my Honest Hypnosis practice. People would come to me to have hypnosis to stop smoking or lose weight or alleviate anxiety, they would want me to fix their problem. But for smokers, and weight loss folks, the smoking or eating was really a symptom of them self soothing their anxiety…

And for the anxiety folks the real problem was not usually the anxiety, it was their habitual way of thinking, constantly imagining the future disasters that might be looming for them and their loved ones…

The real problem is often underneath all of the “presenting problems”.

The presenting problems are GOOD because it is the surface issue that causes you to take action. If you are persistent you can clear the presenting problem by paying attention to the underlying cause… eventually clearing the underlying cause will often clear multiple presenting problems so powerfully that it may seem like magic.

And it kind of is magic.

After a full day breakthrough session clearing massive chunks of past trauma and limiting beliefs, a client asked me, “What if I’m just IMAGINING clearing all these issues?”

My response (which was fvcking brilliant if I say so myself) was,

“Well, your IMAGINATION is your unconscious mind.

What if you have just been IMAGINING the “problem” all these years?

What if you consistently and persistently IMAGINE the problem to be gone?

What if you IMAGINE that old problem to have been a “purpose problem” that was perfectly designed to get you to start doing some seriously deep healing work on yourself, which you are now doing and will continue to do for the rest of your long, healthy awakened life?”

I’d also like to point out at this moment that IMAGE is the root of IMAGINATION… and what is the root of IMAGE?

MAGE… that’s a cool old fashioned word for wizard. Presto chango! You have changed the images in your mind and are now getting DIFFERENT results that you can feel in your body and begin to notice in your life.

Imagine clearing the past totally of all trauma and limiting beliefs. Poof! just clear your mental movie screen and be done.

If you knew how to truly communicate with your unconscious mind, you could literally do that right now.

But here is one of themes profound truths of all time delivered from one of my mentors (a 25 year old multi-millionaire punk):

Are you ready?

” Your Unconscious Mind doesn’t go where it wants to go.
It goes where you tell it to go most often.”

So if you are constantly bitching and moaning about all the things that aren’t going your way, guess what? You are going to get more of things not going your way.

But if you STOP and give your Unconscious Mind the steady suggestion that there is a benefit in this situation that you just need to pay attention to, your unconscious mind will do THAT.

And ultimately life is about solving “problems.”

Get used to it, and get good at solving them. You are more powerful than you have been allowing yourself to think you are.

W.D.I.W.O.B.T.Y.C.P.I?

Conversational Hypnosis?

by

42207090_sEver experience Conversational Hypnosis?

Of course you have.

You just don’t realize it is happening all the time.

In This exciting episode of “Mind Mastery Daily” We go DEEP… into the art and power of…

TRANSFORMATIONAL CONVERSATIONS

a.k.a. Conversational Hypnosis…

Most of the time it is so subtle that you NEVER notice that you are being “massaged” into taking some small or simple action that SEEMS like it is totally your idea… Well, it IS your idea and YOU are the ONE taking the ACTION… But you are taking action because someone SUGGESTED to you to do so in a way that HARMONIZED with you’re UNCONSCIOUS mind.

Check out this short video…

(it could totally change your life for the better or at least make you thirsty for more of this kind of powerful knowledge):

Afterwords I’ll break down for you what I was doing…

(and BTW the suggestions I make here in this video are simple, benign and something you should be doing for your own health anyway so chill out and relax about the whole thing ok?

I’m not suggesting that you drop 20 pounds, or quit smoking cold turkey by next Wednesday, or stop procrastinating this instant or suddenly get inspired to passionately pursue your dreams and everything you’ve always wanted to be, do and have… To be honest you have to PAY for that shit! LOL… But this was a lot of fun to do and I hope you enjoy it in a spirit of fun and curiosity…)

Here’s the video:

Okay, Let’s unpack this. Here in random order is the stuff I remember doing in the video ( I was pretty deep in trance myself so some of what I did I might not even know):

First of all, I mention that I just drank some water… Then I give a direct suggestion. “Hydrate”…
I make that suggestion right up front before you realize that I’m making a suggestion, “Hydrate” Drink more water… You will find it in a lot of my videos. It’s just a plain positive suggestion that is pretty universal. WE ALL NEED TO HYDRATE MORE… If you want to lose weight? Hydrate. If you want to stop smoking? Hydrate! If you want to make more money? Hydrate!

Then I start babbling some random stuff about thinking about thinking and bouncing around in a parallel universe… LOL who knows where THAT shit came from! :o) But because neither one of us knows where I’m going with that, it literally causes you to go into trance… not a heavy sleepy trance but what I call a “wide awake transformational state.”

Your unconscious mind is like, “huh? what? where is this going?” In other words it hooks your attention…

Then I open a story loop… “I had a thread….” and then I literally pretend it’s on my hand… So I start to tell you a story about myself and my weight loss course… “It’s Not Just About The Food!” and then don’t quite finish it. I start talking about something else then eventually get back to it…

BTW any story you hear whether it is on the news or from a friend telling about what happened on their blind date, it causes trance in both the listener and the teller…

And when they get interrupted by something, quite often they forget where they were and you forget where they were in their story even though a moment ago you were literally hanging on their every word? That’s real, everyday hypnosis.

WE SPEND MOST OF OUR LIVES IN TRANCE. So we might as well learn how to use it right?

While I’m talking about my weight loss hypnosis course, I talk about LONG TERM CHANGE. and YOU having the most powerful tool in the universe for creating positive change (between your ears)… then I run through a bunch of numbers, (for some reason counting causes a lot of us to go into trance as well…) the weight I’ve been monitoring and keeping track, (the suggestion here is keep track of your progress) then I begin to teach a little bit about your unconscious mind and how we are all hardwired to follow the path of least effort or least resistance…

Then I debunk the “Santa Clause” Hollywood hypnosis myth that all you need is one session and you’ll never crave crap food again… all the while I’m teaching you some REAL stuff about you how to communicate to the “Animal” of your body… Honestly.

And ultimately the main suggestion of this entire video and blog post is:

DRINK MORE WATER.

You can do that can’t you? It WOULD be good for your wouldn’t it?

But you will only ACT on that suggestion if it makes sense to you and if you agree that it would be good…

And if your unconscious mind agrees and your conscious mind and your unconscious mind get together on this, you just might find yourself drinking plenty of water from this point forward… taking water with you wherever you go… making sure that your water filter is fresh and clean so you stay hydrated and healthy…

Now…

If you would like to explore how you can USE my knowledge and experience to change whatever it is you want to change, Jump on to the Daily Mind Mastery list and I’ll give YOU first dibs on the cool stuff I share here every single day…

Or check out my growing catalog of kick ass transformational self help courses to get you specific results in your life, faster, easier, better. You. In charge of your change.
