Hey Kids, I just got off this awesome podcast/Youtube interview with “Resilience Champion”, Zaheen Nanji.

She asked me a ton of awesome questions about CRUSHING anxiety and helping people to make Rapid, Real, Relevant Changes and Improvements in their lives with NLP and Honest Hypnosis Tools…

As usual when I get to be the center of attention and talk about something that matters this much to me, I was my funny, entertaining and educating self… ;o)

We both went into trance and the 40 minutes whizzzed by like greased lightening, lightening and lightening, releasing and resourcefully responding… that’s right… mmm hmm…

LOL…. I should have a link for you by tomorrow… so you can hear for yourself… and enjoy my conversational hypnosis… about hypnosis… and NLP… and YOU changing stuff and liking having the power to change whatever you want, whenever you want to change stuff…

Today tho, For your Mind Mastery Message, I have a fresh new video I made for you where I wax eloquent about one of my most-est favorite-est topics: Going “All In” Before You Go “Out”.

And in support of my Daily Mind Mastery Message I have this Transformation Tune, aka, “song” Recorded live Nov. 19th with the Rogue Mystics…

Your “assignment” today (should you choose to accept it) is to CLICK THIS LINK and let me know what you want to work on for YOUR next 90 day challenge.

I’ve heard from a few of you SERIOUS action takers like Linda, Paula, Mike, Mike, Leslie, Lewis, Andrew & Starsky Scherherazade (not their real names).

Now about about the rest of you? Seriously. I want to know what you would improve in your life if you COULD improve it significantly, noticeably, measurably? And would you be interested in get some support or a lot of support or a medium amount of support to actually GO FOR IT and Git R Done?

Of course if you just want to keep doing what you’ve been doing because it’s working pretty well that’s fine too. The biggest lesson I’m taking away from my own work with mentors and coaches is that mentors, “guides” and coaches help to cut the time between dream and reality significantly. So I want to share some of the processes that are working really well for me and my team… with YOU. That is, if you want it. If not that’s fine and I’ll just keep doing it by myself and my team and you can keep doing what you normally due…

HOWEVER, if you are even slightly interested in improving and area or every area of your life, faster, easier better, we will be starting January 2, 2017… and running through the end of March. I’m still kicking around ideas for how to best support YOU to ROCK the first 1/4… But there WILL be an application process and more information about the program coming soon…

You’ve got nothing to lose by simply “raising your hand” and beginning to consider what you want for yourself in 2017…

Got it?

Good!

Peace out,

– Mark

p.s. definitely listen to today’s transformation tune in a decent pair of headphones before you go to bed tonight…

You WILL feel better in the morning… even if you feel fine right now… and who am I to tell you “don’t change now!” or “change now”. You should be able to change whatever you want to change, whenever you want to change it.

Now… where was I? Oh yeah Planet Earth. December 2, 2016
Did you watch the video and listen to the song? Seriously. It’s for your own good. LOL… sweet dweams.

If you are ready and would like to go deeper with me… here’s how

Is Clothing Hypnosis?

by

Kim pic IMG_8223Is Clothing a Form of Self Hypnosis?

I recently signed up for a coaching session with Style and Makeover Expert Kimberly Seltzer.

And in the process it caused me to “get” on a deep, visceral level, that the clothing we wear is actually a form of self hypnosis as well as “group” hypnosis.

The clothing we wear and the “look” we generate can affect our own self confidence and literally how we act and “show up” in the world. It is also a very powerful and effective form of communication to the unconscious minds of other people and guides them in the instant evaluation process that we all go through when we first meet each other.

Dress poorly in cheap clothes from Kohls (which is what I did for years), and guess what? People kind of “get” that unconsciously and they take you less seriously.  Dress well in clothes that fit your body properly and communicate what you actually want to communicate to other people, and somehow it’s just easier to get your point across, to influence and teach and in my case, to positively touch the lives of other people in a significant way.

The old saying goes, “The Clothes make the Man”. I’m not so sure about that, however, after working with Kim to choose clothing that more accurately communicates to other people (particularly my audiences) who I already am, I would definitely say that “The Clothes COMMUNICATE the Man (or the woman for that matter).

Since I am a man, and like most straight guys pretty clueless when it comes to style, I want to specifically challenge other men who are working on becoming more “masterful” in their lives, work, and relationships to definitely include this very important piece of the self improvement process.

I highly urge you to check out her website and do whatever it takes to get her advice and assistance.

I started small 2 years ago with a 1 hour skype session. It took me about 6 months to start clearing out my closet and figure out where to get clothing that fit me better as well as to change my glasses etc.

I wish now I had taken the more thorough and faster process of flying out to Southern California and doing a half day coaching/shopping session sooner.

Holy guacamole! What a huge difference.

I’ve made a short video below that I highly suggest you watch (in case you want to see more, there’s also a link so you can see all of the outfits Kim helped me to buy).

And then I highly suggest you take IMMEDIATE action and contact her.

She is completely easy to talk to (she was a licensed family/marriage therapist before she got into this coaching work). So you will feel at ease and comfortable with her. You will love how you look and more importantly how you FEEL after her coaching.

So check out the video and let me know what you think.

Again, I ask you to consider as you watch the video: Is clothing a form of self hypnosis? If so why not fully use it to get to where you want to go, to be who you want to be easier, faster, better.
If you would like to see more of the end result of my 4 hour “hypnosis session in bloomingdales with Kimberly Seltzer”…

I’ve posted all 12 of the videos here: http://markshepard.com/2016/08/style-transformation-kimberly-seltzer/

The Master Mind Effect

by

mark mccoy 700xI was away last week in Toronto for a very cool “Immersion Master Mind” for Thought leaders. It was MONUMENTAL.

Seriously. MONUMENTAL

I thought I would be able to keep posting my Mind Mastery Daily and Transformation Tunes for you while I was away… but IMMERSION is IMMERSION.

So I accepted that some “routines” were going to be “interrupted” and I embraced FOCUSING on soaking up some powerful and transformative ideas and strategies for doing what I do, BETTER.

And YOU will benefit from that in the days and weeks to come.
Now back to today.

mmmmmmmmmm MONDAY!
One of my absolute FAVORITE days of the week!

Here we go:

Monday’s Mind Mastery Message:
The Power of the Master Mind!
I’m kind of on the “M” kick today. As well as a MASTERY kick…

One of the great “take aways” from my learning adventure in Toronto last week was the absolute POWER of hanging out with people who are pursuing their passionate purpose in life.

Study after study has shown that people tend to match the income and achievement levels of the people they hang out with the most.

Napoleon Hill in his MASTERFUL book “Think and Grow Rich” mapped out the idea of the “master mind”.

And my favorite songwriter said, “Together we can change the world”…

And of course there was a dude back in “0” AD who said to his 12 buddies, “Where two or more are gathered amazing stuff can happen…”

So last week, not only did I get to experience the inspirational company of some amazing peak performers who like myself are rolling up their sleeves and getting to work on themselves, their lives, and bringing their talents and gifts to the task of making a positive difference in the world,

I got to rub elbows a bit with Olympic Gold Medalist, Mark McKoy.

Not only is he the only Canadian to bring home an Olympic Gold medal in the last 30 years, but he did it at age 30 in an event that considers a 25 year old… OLD.

For a 2 minute jolt of joy, inspiration and grooviness watch this video and see Mark McKoy WIN the Olypmic Gold Medal AGAINST ALL ODDS!

I LOVE the part where the STUNNED CBC broadcasters literally didn’t know what to say other than, “Unbelievable!” (Luckily HE believed in himself because THEY surely didn’t).

One of the key strategies he employed in his 16 year quest was to find and work with the best coaches in the world as well as to surround himself with the company of his BEST competitors.  The Master Mind Effect.

The guy who won Silver was his best friend who he lived and trained with. They pushed each other and caused each other to be better.

One of the greatest challenges with anyone who seeks to transform his or her life is to seek the company of other people who have the effect of PULLING YOU UP. Sometimes this requires letting go of some relationships that do not PULL YOU UP.

I found this to be incredibly true over the years as a hypnotherapist working with people who wanted to stop smoking (or other habits and addictions) if you quit smoking and then go hang out with a bunch of smokers, it’s going to be a lot harder than if you go hang out with a bunch of non smokers. Does that make sense?

Same deal with food issues. If you are attempting to transform your eating and exercise habits, it’s a lot more helpful to hang out with folks who are exercising and nourishing their bodies intelligently than your old gang of couch potato fast food fans.

Whatever you want to achieve in life, you might want to consider finding some other people who have done that or are deep in the process of doing it, and go hang out with them.

Make sense? Engage the master mind effect.

So your assignment today (should you choose to accept it) is to take a loving, compassionate look at the company you keep.
Is it supporting you becoming a better person? Or is it pulling you back to being someone you “used” to be? (And BTW my new weekly Music, Message, Meditation, Movement Meet-Up called “Transformation Tuesday” will be a place where you’ll be able to meet other people like yourself who are seeking the source of their own healing, success, strengths, talents and magnificence. ) The Master Mind Effect.

If you’re local to Albany NY I hope you’ll join us. If you are not, please watch this space for info on our live streaming broadcasts and replays.

And Now for Today’s Transformation Tune:
Song # 320 “Field of Dreams”

That’s it for now!

COWABUNGAH BABY!

Ahhhh Who Ahhh!

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

The Power of A Mentor

by

Fire in the Eyes…

Have you ever met someone who just had intense eyes?

Someone who looked beyond the surfaces of things and saw something in you that challenged your small idea of yourself?

A lot of stories people tell of turning points in their lives, of moments that made a significant difference in their lives, involved someone older, wiser, cooler, higher “status” or whatever, who recognized something in them and encouraged that spark of greatness that we all have the potential for, to take root, to begin to grow, to blossom, to flourish …

Often it was a teacher, or a beloved Grandparent, a coach, a mentor…

I remember reading a story of a teacher in the beleaguered Chicago school system who had an almost IMPOSSIBLE student named Shaneequwa who had grown up tough in the projects… Shaneequwa basically flunked the class… caused endless disruption and trouble… but  at the end of the school year the teacher wrote a note to this kid who she recognized as SMART even though she was DIFFICULT.

The note from the teacher said,

“I know this was a tough year for you. I just want you to know that I believe in you. I know you can succeed at whatever you put your mind to. Have a great summer.”

And then in the Fall, to the teacher’s DISMAY, Shaneequwa RE-TOOK her class.

But something was different.

  • She paid attention.
  • She did her homework.
  • And she excelled.

It was that note. That simple little note that triggered a shift. No one in her life had ever told her she could ever be something. And it Made a difference.

My eyes get all watery just sharing that story.

Because that student went on to graduate from high school and college.

All because someone actually believed in her and communicated that to her.

We ALL have the potential to become more than we think we are… But sometimes we need someone else to RECOGNIZE IT IN US.

I had a cousin. He was 8 years older than me and different. I had a lot of other cousins, but Eliot always looked at me with deep, deep eyes….

Eliot was handicapped by congenital Dwarfism and had multiple physical challenges with his ears and eyes. Maybe it was because at age 16 he was the same height as I was at age 8, but he was my hero. We saw eye to eye in a lot of ways…

What I think was most important was the fact that he always took the time to listen to me, to teach me stuff, and to show me the books he was reading. He never talked down to me. He never made me feel like I was some bratty little kid. He talked to me as if I were an adult.

And needless to say I adored him.

Because he loved to read and was deeply knowledgable about Native American crafts and culture, I got hooked on knowledge. I got positively addicted to learning and he started me on a path of VORACIOUS reading and curiosity about excellence that continues to fuel my own daily reading and research into the potential we have as human beings to break through old limitations…

The bottom line: He BELIEVED in me. And he COMMUNICATED THAT TO ME. And it made a difference.

So today. I just feel so deeply moved to let YOU know from my HEART,

“I know this may have been a tough year for you so far, but I just want you to know that I believe in YOU. I know you can succeed at whatever you truly put your mind to. Have a great Holiday Weekend!”

Here’s a song to support YOUR shift towards greatness:
Song # 85, “Fire In The Eyes”

all the best!

Mark

p.s. Your Daily Mind Mastery assignment today (should you choose to accept it) is to think back over YOUR life and remember at least one person who BELIEVED in YOU. Perhaps at a time when you didn’t believe in yourself. write down that memory in your journal or wherever you keep track of your personal mastery journey. Savor it. re-tell that story to someone else in your life today. And then see if there is any way of Passing That on to someone else who may need to hear it from you.

p.p.s. thank you for reading my posts. If you’d like to get my Daily Mind Mastery Message each day, sign up with the handy opt-in form. Thanks!
