The Monday “Trance”

by

506-oh-my-beloved-origThe Hypnosis of Monday

Now that you made it through that exhausting, arduous weekend of fun and frivolity, what is “Monday” for? Let’s Transform Mondays ok?

I mean really? Do you ever get much done on a Monday? Ever try calling anyone on a Monday morning? Chances are it goes right to voicemail :o)

I call it the “Monday Trance”…

Monday has become a “transition” day for a lot of folks between the weekend and the week. Notice the root of “Transition” has the word “Trance” built right in :o)

A little over ten years ago I started meeting every Monday with my friend Michael Guerin. We were both struggling with our businesses at the time. Mostly because we were “solo entrepreneurs”. I was trying to build my NLP and Hypnosis practice, workshops and trainings and he was building his as a financial planner and merchant account advisor.

And while we both enjoyed the freedom and flexibility of being “one man shops,” in the long term, solitary businesses don’t last.

After all, business is all about people. People working together to serve other people with our ideas, products and services…

Interesting dilemma for a couple of introverts.

so we chose to change our Monday Trance… Instead of being boring old “Monday” that everybody dreads, we made Mondays into…

MASTERMIND MONDAYS…

And what we focused on is still what we focus on every week: Helping each other to Market, Manage, Motivate, Merchandise and Man-Up…

These days we usually talk on Saturday because by Monday we are already putting into action what we agreed with each other to do… But for me, Monday’s are just the best day of the week. It’s quiet. It’s usually the time I have to seriously consider and map out what my action steps for the week are.

And when I’ve been traveling and working on weekends, Monday is the day I catch my breath and recharge my batteries.

If Monday is a day you’ve been dreading lately… Let’s see if there is any way you can “reframe” it or shift it into something that automatically lights a fire in your heart to take your adventure to the next level.

If Monday messes with your mood… take a moment to ask what’s really going on?

  • Are you unhappy in your work?
  • Are you using work to escape something that happens on the weekends?
  • Are you on your path with heart?
  • How’s your body doing?
  • Is this going to be another week of not moving it?
  • or not feeding it the proper fuel for it to thrive and be strong?

Some folks like to check in with themselves and their goals for the week on Sunday evening.
I prefer Monday Mornings…

Either way, you might want to consider giving a little bit of conscious, creative reflection to today. Imagine totally CRUSHING IT this week as you look ahead and imagine where you would like to be by Friday…

Of course that is ONLY if you CHOOSE to accept the assignment.

Maybe you just want to chill out with a cool song that supports the assignment without actually doing the assignment. That’s fine too. Totally up to you.

Here’s your song for the day:

Now have an amazingly wonderful rest of your Masterful Monday! Or your “restful” Monday. Or your kick ass Monday… Or whatever kind of Monday you decide to have…

– Mark

p.s.

Slow Burn Fitness (Craze?)

by

hh-100816-slow-burn-workout-ssThe secret exercise craze that is NOT sweeping the nation. The Slow Burn Fitness “Revolution”?

Let’s be honest ok? Most people start an exercise program and quit after about a week… Because…

  1. They don’t like to be sore
  2. They hurt themselves
  3. They didn’t get instant results
  4. They don’t like comparing themselves to all the buff dudes and dudettes at the dreaded “GYM”
  5. They just have other stuff they would rather be doing… like watching TV from the safety of their “Laz-ee Boy Recliner”.
  6. They think they don’t have time to a. spend an hour on a treadmill every day, or b. then get cleaned up from all the sweatyness that said treadmill activity generated.

And all of those reasons are EXACTLY why I got into this crazy “new” workout called “Slow Burn Fitness”.

Here’s a fresh, informative new video I made for you last night upon my arrival in Southern California.

Boom!

 

Here’s Your song for the day:

By the way, have you ever seend the physique of a rock climber? Pretty buff right? Well think about this do rock climbers climb fast or slow? Slow right? The fast ones usually die. So on a certain level we are evolutionarily designed to climb and it’s done slowly out of sheer necessity. And is it any wonder that our bodies respond super well to that as a fitness, muscle building, strength, endurance and health “trigger”?

Tah Dah Bing! I’m outa here.

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.

Changing Beliefs with NLP Live Training

54653357_mlChanging Limiting Beliefs With NLP

Once You decide to go on your adventure of a life time…
Once you accept the call to enter the arena of your life…
Once you acknowledge your desire to be, do and have more…

What often happens is old patterns and beliefs, negative self talk and plain lack of skill or experience threaten to shut the whole thing down… Some people try to use affirmations to force themselves to “be positive”. But if you don’t have conflicting beliefs at the unconscious level, then you don’t need to mumble a bunch of affirmations.

That’s why we need to be aware of what our limiting beliefs are and have some effective tools for clearing them and installing new, empowered, helpful, resourceful beliefs that can support us and empower us to take the next step…

Because on every journey, in every life “stuff” happens that doesn’t always seem good… It is our BELIEFS about ourselves and what happens that can totally and completely change our reality so that we can actually take the next step… and the next step… and the next… and the next…

The following program was taught live at the TRansformation Nation World Headquarters in an undisclosed location… and for a limited time, you can gain access through this secret portal… Let’s begin.

Transformation Tuesday Begins!

by

trans tues big2Hey Everybody!

Today IS Transformation Tuesday!

Yup. I just checked. In fact, it’s Transformation Tuesday all day long and into the night!

How cool is that?

COWABUNGAH!

In case you don’t “religiously” read every single email from me…

TONIGHT we kick off the first  weekly Transformation Tuesday.

What IS “Transformation Tuesday”?

Good question little grasshopper!

Think of it as a

“Music & Meditation Sanctuary for the Spiritual But Not Religious”

or think of it as a

“Personal Mastery and Motivation Meet-Up with Music”

Yes there WILL be Music! – My absolute FAVORITE Spiritual but Not Religious Singer/Songwriter will be there with the “Transformation Tunes” you’ve been clamoring for. Word has it on the “street” that people listen to these songs and literally “change their BRAINS” (in a good way) ;o)

Oh! here’s one of his FABULOUS “Transformation Tunes” now:

(Holy Guacamole he’s GOOOD! ;o)

YES! There will be a Personal Mastery Message to Motivate, Inspire and IGNITE the groovyness within you and support you in mastering your mind for a change.

YES! There will be meditation, aka guided visualization, aka, Ericksonian Conversational Hypnosis... (Be assured it’s totally safe, requires no special equipment and feels FABULOUS!)… to help us FOCUS and “master our minds for a change” in a powerfully positive way for the rest of the week….

YES! There will be gentle “tai chi” like movement that you won’t have to “remember” cuz we make it up on the spot! and it feels soooooooo good and is safe for everyone to try even if you are normally a couch potato!

And Yes! We will have some time to hang out a bit and “Meet UP!” as members of the “Transformation Nation”.

Where?  Unity Church, 21 King Ave, Albany NY
When? Tuesdays 7:00 – 8:30 pm Eastern Time
Cost? A suggested $20 donation
(I’m renting the space from Unity so your support is deeply appreciated to cover costs)

or
“Tune in” online for the live streaming version on Concert Window
(which hopefully will actually work, your patience is much appreciated since I’m about as “technical” as… as… as… a…  guy who can’t quite think of an appropriate analogy at the moment…)

Here’s the link for the online streaming:
https://www.concertwindow.com/markshepard

I hope to see you there tonight!

– Mark

p.s. BTW the 1st 10 people to show up tonight in person will get something very special to commemorate your AWESOMENESS! And I’m working on some bonuses for you folks out there in cyber-land as well.
