Frustration

Monday Morning Moments

March 21, 2016 by Mark Shepard

Monday Morning Moments

Hey!

Are you having that “Monday Morning Moment”?

Struggling to get motivated to do the job that seemed so promising when you interviewed for it but that has turned out to be a MASSIVE test of your ability to ENDURE being miserable?

No? Cool..

Just checking…

Glad you can hardly wait for Mondays to gear up for your AMAZING week doing what you most love to do and making a MASSIVE positive difference in the world!

Way to go Tiger!

Here’s a song in your honor…

Song # 312 “Freedom”

But just in case you’re not totally ecstatic about your Monday Morning, and are open to a suggestion or two…

I’d like to ask you a few “What if?” questions…

  • “What if, whatever you are struggling with at the moment is somehow necessary?”
  • “What if, the challenges and frustrations that are coming up in your life are mission critical moments that are flawlessly, impeccably nudging you towards finally accepting your OWN greatness?”
  • What if, you are being Called Out by your highest good to discover and follow your “Path With Heart”?
    So today, your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to pay attention to the possibility that you are perfectly on your path with heart and your mission is to either embrace exactly where you are and go DEEP with it in a transformational way or embrace exactly where you are and take action to transform where you are at this moment into something that serves you and suits you better…

You don’t have to do anything about it right now. Just pay attention and notice what comes up for you…

then play this song a few times and let it start to sink in…

Song # 312 “Freedom”

I’ll be here waiting for your emails. I want to know what’s going on with you so I can create programs that support your complete and total TRANSFORMATION.

Have a great day!

Love,

Mark

p.s. This week I’m adding another module to the Hypnosis For PTSD Course. So those of you who have taken immediate action to jump in to it will get even more value. If you haven’t checked it out yet, here’s the link:  Hypnosis For PTSD

This program is NOT yet available to the general public and I’m only allowing a small number of folks in at a ridiculously low pre-release price so if PTSD or old Traumatic stuff from your childhood is a challenge for you, check it out. It comes with a total satisfaction, money back guarantee.

The really important thing is just to be fully aware that you can realize the change you’re looking for…

Humorous Hypnosis

March 12, 2016 by Mark Shepard

Today calls for A Bit O’ Humor for your Daily Mind Mastery Moment….

It’s one thing to do deep transformational work. And often it is damn HARD work that requires courage, tenacity and sheer determination to even consider.

However, occasionally (well perhaps more frequently than that) we need to lighten the hell UP!

Today, we is gonna
“Snap…

…OUT

OF IT!”

“It” being whatever ever funk, frustration, phobia, fear, fretting we’ve been doing this week….

In fact anything that starts with the FFFFFFF or PH sound… We are gonna BLESS and RELEASE by laughing at it…. (With deep love and compassion of course.)

So your assignment for today (should you choose to accept it) is to listen to this Tongue in Cheek Transformational Tune and then follow it’s light hearted (yet sage and sensible) hypnotic suggestion to

SNAP OUT OF IT BABY! :o)

Have a Fabulous Saturday!!

BTW I totally and completely love you and believe in you and send you light and grooviness

Swooooooooooooosh! Shazaam!

FRUSTRATION

March 8, 2016 by Mark Shepard

How To Use FRUSTRATION To Move Forward

Depending on your own level of frustration, you might want to play the transformation tune first today and then read the post… or maybe the other way around… :o)

I don’t know about you but I have a fairly low threshold for tolerating frustration.

Think of frustration

as an energy block.

It’s not something someone is doing to you. You and I no longer have the luxury of playing the “victim role” in the adventure story of our lives…

But the “thing” that is causing frustration won’t just go away because you wish it to. It is something that needs to be dealt with… consciously and lovingly.

Frustration in our own lives with jobs and co-workers, loved ones and situations that seem “unchangeable” can either drive us crazy or inspire and motivate us to take action.

Frustration calls for reflection, “getting the lesson” and then intelligent sustainable action.

The first thing we have to remember (and I am writing this for ME as well as YOU :o), is that the obstacles, blocks, “dead-ends” and annoying “stuck-ness” feelings are PERFECT.

We are being CHALLENGED to up our game.

The question is How Deep are you willing to Go in working on it?

  • Gandhi’s frustration led him to invent a whole new way of creating change in South African and India Non-Violent Protest. His frustration eventually led to MASSIVE action and a change of ideas that is still rocking this world and influencing leaders such as Martin Luther King and Nelson Mendala.
  • Benjamin Franklin’s frustration with the postal system caused him to develop the first dependable postal service between the original 13 colonies, and it was his connections and travels between the colonies that helped him do his part in uniting them. His frustration with other aspects of colonial living caused him to organize the first volunteer fire department, lighted streets, lending libraries, and something we today call “the master mind” principle. Thank god for old Benjy’s frustration!

Frustration is the mother of all invention.

There have been some things that have frustrated me for 40 years. Forty damn years!

I started writing songs in 1976. They were so good that people would be stunned and astonished that this 16 year old kid was writing stuff that seemed way beyond his years. Whatever.

My songwriting came out of my own personal frustration at not being able to say out loud in words to other people what I was really feeling and thinking. I turned all the stuff inward and somehow I was able to turn all the crap I was feeling into lyrics and music that metaphorically expressed the inexpressible…

And then year after year I couldn’t for the life of me perform that damn things or “get them out in the world where they could do some good”….

FRUSTRATION!

Because I couldn’t perform them, I began to attempt to find ways to just record and preserve them. Which cost money. So I began to learn how to make money. And in that arena I crashed and burned more times than I care to admit. At one point I bought 4 houses for nothing down at the top of the 1980’s real estate bubble. That bubble BURST and I lost everything (and not for the last time!).

Eventually I surrendered to a higher power… and started working on my own “stuff” as if my life depended upon it (which is kind of did when you think about the alternative to actually doing the work).

Remember “stuff?”

We all have “stuff”. The “stuff” that gets triggered unconsciously and leaves us feeling shame, anger, fear, guilt, sadness without any logical or reasonable reason. The “Stuff” that drives us crazy and makes us MISERABLE.

“STUFF” = A technical term.

But I contend with all my heart and all my soul that our “stuff” is the greatest gift we have. Without it’s uncomfortable nudging, (or SHOVING) we would stay complacently satisfied with whatever small little box we have managed to build for ourselves.

AND IT’S TIME TO BREAK DOWN THE WALLS OF THE BOX.

It’s freedom time people.

It’s action time. More on this soon.

Now about the “Transformation Tune of the Day”,  Song #58 Visions of You (I Wreck My Soul)

I wrote it while I was at Princeton Theological Seminary in 1982… I was 22 How old were you?
Make sure you listen to the end for the “shift” moment. :o)

Instead of wishing you “peace” today, I lovingly wish you “FRUSTRATION” of the best kind.

May you be motivated to know

  1. You are not alone.
  2. Your frustration is a gift and a challenge
  3. You can do this.
  4. Together We CAN Change The World
  5. Changing the world starts INSIDE.

And I will see YOU on the INSIDE!
– Mark

p.s. along the way my frustration caused me to be motivated to learn how to change my own mind and body to support my big dream of making a positive difference in the world through my word and music. The result is a growing body of personal transformation tools and programs that people all over the world are finding helpful in their own transformational journeys.

The really important thing is just to be fully aware that you can realize the change you’re looking for…
