What is the secret of successful people? Well, there’re many internal qualities that assist: passion, creativity, drive, stick-to-it-tiveness, confidence, and so on…but what really comes to my mind: it’s the ability to notice and act on opportunities. Carpe diem. Seize the day. Or night. Or moment. That’s what makes a winner, in business, and in life.
We’ve all heard the Nike credo. “Just do it!” But before you can do it, you need to know that there is an “it,” a thing you might do. And there are. The opportunities are out there. An infinity of them. The winner sees them. The winner seizes them. What does this have to do with hypnosis? Everything.
Hypnosis is a useful way to tune your mind to notice opportunities. When a mind is set, programmed to notice opportunities—we call that “serendipity.” There are people who find things. Lucky things, and those things turn out to be beneficial to them. Only, it is not luck. Simply stated: success is the result of the mind, and the mind’s fine tuning. Successful people are attuned to opportunities, and to moving forward on opportunities. You can do this, too.
Hypnosis is a way to fine tune your mind to noticing opportunities, to receiving the messages which drive you towards success, to creative solutions to dilemmas, and to answers to questions, to movement, to success itself. How cool is that? Would you like to be tuned into that channel? Me, too! Actually, I already am—and here’s an example.
For Lease
This just happened to me! The lease on my current office is ending soon, and one of my shared-space-mates just moved out, and another is retiring, so the question arose about finding a new space. I didn’t want to. I love my office. LOVE it! But in no way did I want to lease the empty spaces myself (and pay for) 3 offices, and then have to try to rent them out, and all the rigmarole that that entails. So, I set my mind to pondering “the space question.” Move out? Don’t move out?
I decided to directly and specifically ask my unconscious mind the question: should I find a new office? The answer came back instantly. YES. I trust my unconscious, because, in a Western movie of your mind, the unconscious would be the guy sitting on the white horse wearing a white hat. The unconscious mind is the good guy—for all of us. The part of us that keeps us alive, breathing, blood flowing, healing, storehouses our learning, wants us to grow and thrive and be happy and healthy and successful. I call my unconscious mind “the superhero” and he (yes, it’s a he) wears a superhero outfit, including red tights and a red cape, but that’s a different movie.
The Unconscious Mind
When there’s a direction to choose, there’s usually several pointers or signposts pointing to success, congruent, aligning, converging in unmistakable terms. I got back to my office next day and I tore off the page on my little desk calendar for Tuesday, June 8th. It’s got different words of wisdom for each day. As I tore off the page, these words revealed themselves and jumped out at me: “move out.” The entire message: “Today I am willing to move out of my comfort zone and experience life in a new way.” I started laughing out loud. Here’s my serendipity. The universe is absolutely saying YES, find a new office. So, I did.
Within 2 days, I had found the perfect office space, which is decidedly an upgrade over my current situation. A 2-room private office with more than double the square footage, and access to a training facility, with new carpet (I get to choose it) and fresh paint (I get to choose it) with an even larger wall of windows overlooking trees and greenery, which is closer to my home, still in Bellevue, and costs LESS than I am currently paying for my much smaller office space. You’ve heard of a win-win situation? Well, this is a win-win-win-win-win. 
How did this happen so fast? I opened my eyes and mind to opportunities. Hypnosis is a way to do that! A simple way: self hypnosis.
Anyone who thinks programming their own mind to notice opportunities and strike! while the iron is hot would be a good thing in their lives, propelling them towards success, well, here’s another example of amazing serendipity: I’m offering a seminar to teach you just that in about a week. Self Hypnosis. A chance to trance!
Join me (and my Master Hypnotist hubby, Michael) on Saturday, June 26th for a full-day seminar to learn the ins and outs, the what, why, and wherefores of self hypnosis. To experience hypnosis! Details are here: http://www.seattlenlptraining.com.
