Your Dominant Thoughts

by

20228122_mHey There, O Mighty Mind Mastery Maven!

What’s up on this THRIVING Thursday?

Real Quick, What’s Your Dominant Thought
Right Now?

Seriously. What were you just thinking about?

Was it EM-powering or DIS-empowering?

What’s your “Default Thought Setting”?…

What’s your default state when you wake up?

If you haven’t figure this out by now after hanging out with me for a while…

The thoughts you think the MOST trigger your
most frequent, habitual, emotional and physical states…

The state you are in most often becomes your default, dominant state which then triggers
more of the kind of thinking that created the state…

Does that make sense to  you?

Our MAIN job is to take charge of that entire PROCESS so that it is no longer an unconscious choice made FOR us by the mass media or your mommy, daddy, teacher, boss, coworkers,  lovers, friends, enemies etc.

The state you are in most often BECOMES YOUR USUAL STATE.

I personally want for you to be in a state of mind that you CHOSE and then INSTALLED. INTENTIONALLY.

YOU want to be the captain of your ship.

YOU want to be the one who is “Pulling your own strings”

How do we do that?

How do we install a “default setting” in your Mind that kicks in INSTANTLY upon awakening.

How do you get a resourceful, powerful response HARD-WIRED into your body so that Instantly upon encountering a challenge…

BOOM! 

Your default POWER setting THRUSTERS are triggered and ENGAGE…

CLICK. WHIRR. BUZZ. ZOOOOM!

The bottom line is that this is something that CAN be INSTALLED in your unconscious mind…

When you truly DECIDE to install it…

Now.

It then comes down to PRACTICING it.

We PRACTICE by consciously choosing the thoughts we think, the questions we ask, the way we move our body, the focus of our attention.

OBSESSIVELY AND COMPULSIVELY

(Just like we learned how to talk, walk, ride a bike, drive a car… etc.)

What does a powerful, confident, dominant, successful person choose to focus on?

The solutions, the wins, the possibilities, the options, the opportunities…

A future that is better than you can possibly IMAGINE!

Compare the way YOU are starting to think, to the way the average person focuses on the failures, the doubt, the weaknesses, the fear, the losses, the lack, the stuff that isn’t working, the helpless, hopeless thoughts  that literally poison them to the fact that the world CHANGES depending upon your thoughts…

Just saying’

CHOOSE YOUR THOUGHTS BABY!

What are you going to think about today? LOL

And, for a little BONUS tip today…

Question:
What’s The difference between DOMINATING your path and your life vs. someone who is
DOMINEERING?

Answer:
When you dominate your own life, your own thoughts, you are showing up in your own power. You are taking care of YOU. Someone who is DOMINEERING is attempting to control other people in order to GET something from the other people that the other people don’t want to give.

The DOMINEERING person is usually being that way out of FEAR.

 

 

Screw that. You are better than that. You’re a Jedi.

The DOMINANT person is usually that way because they have a powerful vision and purpose, and the ​ability to LEAD.

Let other people do what they do, be who they are.

This today, is all about…

YOU.

  • YOU Taking charge of your change, of your reality.
  • YOU Loving yourself and LIVING from that place.

One of Your most important CHOICES EVERY single day is to CHOOSE TO DOMINATE your path,
by DETERMINING your DOMINANT THOUGHTS.

So choose the good ones. Today. All Day. For the rest of the Day… 

One way to do that is to Ask yourself POWERFUL “Why” and “How” questions.

REMEMBER? 

“Why does it work out better than I can possibly imagine?”

Just a quick reminder in case you’ve slipped off of the track of practicing that every day.

Ok? 

And now, I’ve got some dominating of my own path to do.

Peace.

– Mark

p.s. A Transformation Tribe Member emailed me the other
​day and asked me which course of mine would be the best
one to start with.

My answer? CRUSH anxiety NOW!
It’s ALL about choosing your dominant mindset
and taking charge of your emotional and mental
states.

Enlightenment Is NOT Perfection

by

23720602_mHey! Happy Wednesday…

today we are going to explore the idea that…

Enlightenment is NOT Perfection

The LIGHT of this INDIAN SUMMER day is so beautiful. Warm. Gentle. Fragrant. The last of the Autumn leaves letting go and releasing into their knee deep piles in the yard…

AHHHH! LIGHT! Feel it fill your being… A lot of people seem to think that “enlightenment” is equivalent to “perfection” or “saint hood”…

There’s an old zen saying: “Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. AFTER enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.”

In my opinion, enlightenment is the ability to hold and reflect more LIGHT. It also means to have a “lightness of being” about you. and also, to “Lighten UP!”.

I covered this pretty thoroughly in the video so I’ll just let it do the tawkin’


I had some other thoughts about peoples opinions in yesterday’s post/video… so you might want to check that out as well.

Yesterday’s Article, Other People’s Opinions about YOUR life…

Stop trying to be perfect and PLAY with the idea of En-Lightening UP your life!

Other People’s Opinions About YOUR Life

by

Other People’s Opinions About YOUR Life

Have you ever noticed that some people can be totally counted on to “rain on your parade?” Everybody has an opinion about everything. Particularly when it comes to YOU doing something new, brave, or different with your life. It’s one of the most dependable facts of life, kind of like death and taxes, “people” will always find something to “kvetch” about, so expect it, be prepared for it and put it in it’s place…

I just went for a ride on the new bike path in my town. as wonderful as this project is, that turned an old abandoned train track into a walking and biking path, some people have found fault with it.

“Now it’s going to be CROWDED…” some of them have said.

And ultimately its and AWESOME gift to this community. People can ride their bikes without having to “argue” with cars and trucks. Folks can walk and talk and get out in the sunshine. It’s great!

But sure enough someone, somewhere will find something wrong with it.

The point is in your own life, OTHER people will have OPINIONS about YOU. And part of becoming a Master of Your Own Mind is to smile, acknowledge their “helpful” comments… and then TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY IGNORE THEM!

Obey YOUR own COMMANDS. Be FABULOUS. You don’t need anybody else’s permission.

Who’s Hypnotic Commands Do You Obey?

by

18309317_mWho’s Hypnotic Commands Do You Obey?

Who is King or Queen in your world?  Who’s word is LAW for  you?

Who do you pledge allegiance to in your own life?

You? Your internal commands? Or somebody, or something other than you?

Are you constantly breaking your own promises to yourself and putting your own dreams and mission aside at the merest hint of someone else wanting your time and attention?

Ultimately we are ALL attempting to take care of ourselves, even if it doesn’t always look that way…

Here’s the video version:

Even if you think you are putting someone else’s needs before yours, you are still actually serving your own needs. If we were honest, we’d admit that we are actually taking care of ourselves when it looks like we are taking care of someone else.

I had a friend recently confide in me that rather let her college freshman son fail in one of his classes, she wrote a paper for him. She changed her priority for her day and didn’t do the things she had set out to do because her son “needed her”.

At first it sounded quite self sacrificing.

“Oh the long suffering mother who puts her own needs aside so her children can have the opportunities she never got…” It’s a culturally approved story line.

AND then it became clear that him not getting this paper in on time would have caused her MORE inconvenience than helping him, so like most of us, she awarded herself the badge of “good mother” and put her own needs aside, and wrote the kid’s paper for him.

Now, before you judge her too harshly, she didn’t expect him to actually USE it. It was just a way to prime his pump so that he wouldn’t be too overwhelmed by the enormity of the task and could actually get back into his own thinking stream rather than just be shut down… She knows her son well. She knows how to motivate him and entice him to get back into his own creative power.

Pretty much what would happen would be that he would tell her that her paper was crap and he would “get” that he could do a much better job and away he’d go …

I say, good for her!

She was actually taking care of herself (besides she likes writing papers and the stuff she was “gonna do” was not exactly much fun anyway so she got to do something she secretly enjoyed, avoid doing something she didn’t want to do, keep her freedom AND look like a saint all in one sweet move…).

Nicely done!

That’s all well and good. Whatever parenting style works for you.

However, do you see that in her own way she was actually putting her own needs first… You see if he failed at college, he would be back home infringing on her freedom to enjoy her “finally empty nest” so by helping him to stay in college, she “bought” herself some additional freedom and space…

Does that make sense? Ultimately whether it helps the other person develop the strength and skills that they actually need in the “real” world or not is debatable… And sometimes we need to let other people in our lives “fail” in order for them to learn to handle their own stuff…

But that’s not my business at all and not my point. The only point I’m trying to make is this:

Are you the King or Queen of your life? Is your word law? Are you aware of how much more enjoyable you are to be around when you truly take care of YOU first?

My only concern here today is that you become aware of your ability to make a promise to yourself that you keep.

So that’s today’s Mind Mastery Daily Transformation Tip.

Pledge allegiance to yourself. If helping someone else makes you feel good, GREAT! But at least be honest that you did it for YOU.

And the fact that someone else benefitted as well is cool. That makes it a win/win.

Just be aware that sometimes following “society’s rules”  to the letter in order to be perceived as “nice” or “good” or “kind” or “spiritual” or “loving” or whatever it is you want people to think about you is a double edged sword that in the end might not be serving you anymore.

And finally, if you want your unconscious mind to obey your conscious commands or suggestions, it helps to be consistent and to understand that your unconscious mind is always standing on alert to give you what it THINKS you are asking it to give you…

It helps to know how your unconscious mind actually works so that when you communicate to yourself, the message you want to git in, actually gets in there and supports your greatest interests and benefits you in the best way possible.

Field of Possibility

by

7748998_sHey! Happy Sunday To you! I’m about to head out the door for rehearsal at Unity and I wanted to share one of the songs we’re going to be singing today. I love the idea that we humans are really “fields of energy” and that the world we move through is a “field of possible outcomes” or “possibilities”.

What if you lived your life today with this song playing on a loop in your head? Give it a shot and let me know how it works for you ok?

Cool.

Talk to you tomorrow. – Mark

Walking In A Field of Possibility

Song # 487 | 8/20/2014   |

I am walking in a field
I am walking in a field
I am walking in a field
Of possibility

I am waking in a dream
I am waking in a dream
I am waking in a dream
Of possibility

I’m returning to the Source
I’m returning to the Source
I’m returning to the Source
Of possibility

I receive all that I have
I receive all that I have
I receive all that I have
Through possibility

I remember who I am
I remember who I am
I remember who I am
Through possibility

I am dancing in the rain
I am dancing in the rain
I am dancing in the rain
Of possibility

I shall choose the thoughts I think
I shall choose the thoughts I think
I shall choose the thoughts I think
Through possibility

When I’m empty I am full
When I’m empty I am full
When I’m empty I am full
Of Possibility…

optional verses:
I release and I receive
I release and I receive
I release and I receive
Through possibility

I allow and I attract
I allow and I attract
Through possibility

I am willing to be healed
I am willing to be healed
I am willing to be healed
Through possibility

Why Anxiety Is Not A Disease

by

24561941_mA lot of people have been hoodwinked by the big pharmaceutical companies into believing that anxiety is a disease…

Big Pharma wants it to be a “disease” so they can get doctors to prescribe their shitty pills with all their addictive and soul killing side effects so that they can make the big bucks. Cha Ching! Month after month.

It’s not. I repeat. Anxiety is NOT a Disease.

There is no “anxiety” germ. There is no anxiety “virus”.

Other than the metaphorical “thought virus” that anxiety really is,

Anxiety is thinking about what you do not want to have happen.

It’s really the same as “worry”… just a bit more intense.

What’s worry? Thinking about bad shit happening. Often to our LOVED ones! Why would anyone DO that?

We all have this ability. It comes with the “human software download” you got when you signed up for this lifetime.

Unlike all the other animals, we can imagine a future that we don’t like.

The flip side of this is that we can also imagine a future that we DO like.

Either way, your unconscious mind gives you the “biochemistry” of whatever you are focusing on with your “mental movie screen”…

Before this morphs into a full blown “rant”… I’m going to go turn the video camera on just in case it gets interesting…
[Here’s what I ranted up for you]
Okay, that felt better…   (BTW If you ever feel so inclined to “go deep for cheap” you can always check out all 80 or so videos I’ve  uploaded to my Honest Hypnosis YouTube channel so far since JULY!  :o)

The bottom line is that only YOU have the power to stop your old patterns and habitual ways of thinking that cause your unconscious mind to react with fight, flight or freeze biochemistry.

As I mention in the video, sometimes our negative thinking patterns about the future are so insidious and “normal” that we don’t even notice that we are doing it… Kind of like the fish in the ocean don’t really “notice” the ocean.

Well that makes sense right? That’s literally what we mean by being “unconscious”.

It’s happening outside of our conscious awareness…

And though it may be outside of our conscious awareness, it is really happening on your “internal storyboard” and it really affects what hormones are triggered in your body which in turn creates “how you feel.”

The Honest truth is that the only way to actually “cure” anxiety is to change your thinking, to change your focus and to do it enough so that you install a new habitual way of automatically responding to the world and life’s little (and not so little) bumps, curves, hills, valleys, or mountains.

You see, one thing nobody else is telling you, is that your immune system is constantly eves dropping on your self talk. Immune systems have the ability to actually listen and LEARN.

So what you are doing unconsciously actually matters a great deal. And as I’ve said a gazillion times, hypnosis is really the “process of communicating effectively with your unconscious mind”.

It’s not hocus pocus or some magical power that suddenly happens when some creepy asshole starts swinging a watch and telling you to go into trance…

Hypnosis is YOU running your own stream of consciousness in a way that actually gets you what you want instead of what you don’t want.

Oh! What a surprise!?!…

All that stuff that you’ve been getting i n your life that you don’t want? Your “old” hypnosis brought that in. Hmmm Let’s see what the “new” hypnosis could do if  you gave it a chance!

So just a quick reminder, CRUSH anxiety NOW! increases in price Tomorrow. It will still be reasonably priced and affordable but it will never again be THIS CHEAP. So if you are curious about going deeper with me, check it out. The risk is on me. A bunch of you awesome action takers have already jumped in and are already CRUSHING the “beast” of anxiety… Cowabungah!  Looking forward to your questions and success stories! OH YEAH!

CRUSH anxiety NOW!  Cheap… Price… set… to expire…
