Stop Abandoning Yourself

by

hh-10-05-stay-w-you-ss1Stop Abandoning Yourself!

in other words, (top flip it into a positive statement) STAY with Yourself!

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

You may not understand the reason, but there IS a reason for every challenge, trial and tribulation. Not a reason that anyone else on this planet can tell you. There’s nothing more annoying than being told some horrible experience is somehow “for the best!” Yuck.

But when YOU decide that for yourself, it actually gives you a MASSIVE amount of power and resourcefulness and peace…

At some point you WILL look back and see EXACTLY how this difficult time perfectly prepared you for the “next level” of living and experiencing.

However, YOU and only YOU can decided “what this means”.

If you decide that this very difficult day or week or month or time in your life has a reason and a purpose that you might not be able to see just yet, it is so much more EMPOWERING than if you DECIDE that this is just more proof that you are not ever going to:

[fill in the blank] ___________________________________________

examples: Find love, Make enough money, lose the weight, get fit, quit smoking, CRUSH the anxiety, find your purpose, etc.

All meaning happens between YOUR ears. We have the power to CHOOSE, what something means so that it helps us, serves us, teaches us instead of allowing it to tear us down or destroy us.

Here’s the Mind Mastery Daily Message:

a. Stop beating yourself up for not having a perfect life yet.
b. Stop beating yourself up for not being perfect. (cuz you ACTUALLY ARE PERFECT)
c. Stop INTERPRETING whatever is going on in your life, relationships, career etc as GOOD or BAD. Either interpret both as Neutral or both as GOOD.
d. START to practice the idea of loving yourself sooooooooo much that you only allow the best people, experiences, beliefs, opportunities into your life.

But ONLY if you CHOOSE to ACCEPT IT. :o)

Go get started !

The World As “Beloved”

by

hh-09-30-15-my-beloved-collage1Late last night I sat down after a very full day to play a little bit of guitar for my own meditational amusement… and a small, gentle “chant” began to “come through” my fingers… and voice… It felt so prayerful and sweet that I set up the camera and recorded it for you… it’s followed by a few thoughts that might help to make today a little bit magical for you…

Lately a lot of my songs have been more “chant” than “song” if that makes sense. Inspired no doubt by the weekly Sunday evening “OneSong” music and meditation service I get to participate in at Unity Church In Albany (if you ever happen to be in the Albany NY area on a Sunday evening, I hope you’ll join us at 6 pm. it’s a great way to start your week).

Here’s the video:

Ahhhhh! Proof that I can be “mellow” eh?

I also just figured out that the melody from last night’s inspiration is one I kind of… already used… in a different song… LOL…

Creativity is often “messy”. But it sure feels good to be creating a life as one’s art form. Just remember there are no mistakes, no missteps, it’s all part of being alive and embracing the “beloved” in yourself, in others and the world itself…

Oh my Beloved, Have a fabulous day!

– Mark

Against The Crowd

by

40352135_mFinding Your Own Way (against the “crowd”).

Earl Nightingale, one of the original “success thinkers and speakers” once said something to the effect of, “If you are wondering where to go, notice where the crowd is going and then go in the opposite direction.”

I think ultimately this is some of the most profound advice you can ever take in.

As a musician, I noticed that doing what all the other musicians were doing, playing in bars, driving hundreds of miles for lousy $100 dollar gigs, or whatever, was not what I wanted to be doing. Taking old Earl’s advice for me has led to this very website where all of my passions and interests can support and cross pollinate each other is for me doing something the “crowd” isn’t.

Somebody else (I think it was Shakespeare) said…

“To thine own self be true”

The process of discovering what is “true” for your own self, is ultimately what we are doing here every single day.

BTW “MOST PEOPLE”, are too busy doing what everybody else is doing to even notice that their very existence here in this thing we call “Life”, is amazing and that we each have ultimate control over our results and realities…

Here’s today’s Mind Mastery Daily video:

Your “take away” today is to play with the notion of going against the crowd. Pursuing your own independent path of living and thinking. Stop going along to get along (At least in your Mind…at least for today…).

As always be gentle with yourself here. This is about being playfully and joyfully the captain of your own ship… Go where YOU want to go. Stop being a “follower”.

And btw, you won’t be lonely! We are ALL playing with this today here at HonestHypnosis.com!

I will see YOU on the INSIDE!

– Mark

How To Be Happy All The Time

by

37962155_mWhat if there was an easy step by step process that you can do to:

Make yourself happy whenever and wherever you want

(no matter what else is going on in your life)

This short video contains a brief taste of NLP Strategy change work. It’s simple and easy but it’s actually REVOLUTIONARY.

Here’s the video:

Your take away today is to understand that you are creating your emotions with your thoughts.

Make the conscious decision to choose the good emotions. Write out the following why questions by hand enough times so that you can then move through your day repeatedly asking them…

  • Why do I think the kinds of thoughts that lead to the kinds of emotions I want to feel?
  • Why do I focus my mind on the thoughts that create the kinds of emotions I want to feel?
  • Why do I focus on the emotions I want to feel?

One of the things that differentiates Neuro Linguistic Processing from other fields of psychology is that other fields ask, “Why do you have a certain problem”. In NLP we ask, “How do you DO the problem?“, as well as, ” How do you know it’s time to DO the problem?”

Once you understand HOW you do something you can then “install” a different neurological process that gets you a better result.

It’s actually a hell of a lot of fun once you get into it.

Watch your email in-box for updates on my Online NLP training which will be available soon.

In the meantime do you have questions? Comments? Thoughts? Success stories?
