Using these five words or phrases could SABOTAGE your 2017 New Year's Resolutions:

 “How few there are who have courage enough to own their faults, or resolution enough to mend them.”  Benjamin Franklin

Here are Five Don’ts and Five Do’s and One Bonus (Eleven)

to help you Succeed with Your 2013 New Year’s Resolution

1 – Lose – Do you really want to LOSE weight? Do you remember the last time you LOST your car keys, a shoe, your glasses? Did you look for them and hope you FOUND them? Or how about when a person loses a job? Loses money? Or their favorite sports team loses? Does it really make sense that you would want to LOSE weight? No – that word just sabotages your efforts. That’s why people who LOSE weight, generally finds it again.  Instead of "losing weight" - you want to "reduce your weight - be a healthy weight!

2 – Quit – Another negative word. Think back to when you were younger, maybe even just last week. Do you remember someone saying (maybe a coach, parent, teacher, or a friend) to you “You’re not a Quitter, are you?” in that tone of voice that indicated disapproval. Have you ever wondered why the cigarette companies use the word QUIT in their “public service” ads? Because they know that people who QUIT are likely to start back again.  You don't really want to "quit smoking", you want to STOP smoking!

Three Little Words that Keep an Athlete from Confident Sports Performance

"The significant

problems we face

cannot be solved

at the same level

of thinking

we were at

when we

created them."

Albert Einstein

It amazes me how many athletes call me to discuss Sports Hypnosis and the conversation starts off with, “Coach, my problem is.” Or “Coach, I have a problem!”

It doesn’t matter whether it's’ for golf, tennis, hockey, football, baseball, basketball, soccer, body building, MMA or any other sport, they seem to all start off with the same first few words. 

Before we even get into a discussion about what the problem is they’re calling about, I interrupt. And if you call, I’ll do the same with you!

Not because I’m being rude, but the Coaching / Sports Hypnosis starts during the initial contact, usually within the first 2 – 3 minutes, if not sooner.

Here’s how the conversation continues:

Coach – “YOUR problem?” I ask with an incredulous tone of voice.

Athlete – Usually says something like “What? Uh yeah, my problem is.”

Coach -- Before they get out another word, I interrupt again, “I don’t understand. Why would you be telling me about something you want to keep? I thought you were calling for Sports Hypnosis and wanted some help from me”

Athlete – A little bewildered, “Keep? No, I don’t want to keep it. And I was calling you for Sports Hypnosis so you could help me get rid of my problem.”

Sports Hypnosis – Golfers and Other Athletes – What is Your “Ability” level?

“Without continual

growth and progress,

such words

as improvement,

achievement,

and success

have no meaning.”

Benjamin Franklin

Sean, one of my local Dallas / Fort Worth SportsHypnosis / NLP clients – a golfer – came in for his visit last week.  We’ve been working on building up his Confidence on the golf course.

He asked me if I remembered a question he asked during his first session. He had asked several questions, as most people do, and even though I was pretty sure I knew which question he was referring to, I asked him to remind me.

He laughed and continued filling out his progress report. That’s how we start our visits. Each of my clients fills out a “progress” report. It tells me what tools they’ve been using that I taught them, how the tools are helping, and what progress they’ve noticed.

Some of the progress will be directly related to the work we’re doing, in Sean’s case, lowering his golf score, and some may be in areas they weren’t expecting, but are glad for anyway.

And of course, they tell me if they’re listening to the Hypnosis CDs I give them and what benefit they’re getting from the Hypnosis CDs.

Now first, you may have noticed we’re discussing a “PROGRESS” report. It’s called that for a reason, and the word “Progress” is in the title at the top of the page.

I could just ask “how are you doing?”, but I’ve found that the word “Progress” moves the mind into thinking in that direction. And they know that each time they come to visit, there will be a new “Progress” report and more “Progress” will be discussed – setting up the expectation of making positive changes.

GOLFERS AVOID THESE SEVEN MENTAL HAZARDS

"Of all the hazards,

fear is the worst."

Sam Snead

From my experience as a professional Sports Hypnotist with an NGH Golf Specialist Certification, I’ve noticed that out of all my athletes from various sports, Golfers are the ones who are most acquainted with the idea of mental training, but very few Golfers utilize it anywhere near as much as they should. Most Golfers seem to make these same seven Mental Hazards over and over.

Ridding your Mind of these Mental Hazards can really elevate your game. Imagine if you just focused on getting rid of one at a time, and each time you did, you took 1 or 2 strokes off your game! Or you could hold onto these Hazards and keep complaining about your score. The choice is up to you!

Let’s see what they are and how to correct them.

1 – Fear, Hesitation, and Doubt are the triplets of negative thinking. There’s one word that counteracts all of them – Confidence! When you’re playing with Confidence, and if you’re not, pretend you are, then those negative words will lose their impact. We’re born with natural Confidence. You ever see a baby learning to walk? He has no doubt that one day he’s going to be walking just like those giants around him. And nothing is going to stop him from learning how to walk! That’s the kind of Confidence to have – nothing is going to stop you! Play Fearless golf!

Sports Hypnosis -- Bears, Sleep, and Athletes. What’s the Connection?

“The greatest achievements

were at first

and for a time dreams.

The oak sleeps in the acorn.”

James Allen

What’s the connection between Athletes and Bears?  Bears instinctively know how to sleep!  As do most animals of course.  They know how to turn off the worry button, or just the active mind.

Bears hibernate.  Now we’re not going to hibernate like bears, but an Athlete needs to be able to get a great night’s sleep to restore energy, and to allow both the body and the mind to relax and restore.

If the body is not relaxed properly and given a chance to rest, then the Athlete is not going to be able to maximize their ability to play their sport.  And every Athlete has dreams and goals and want to be recognized for their achievements.  Without the ability to get a good restful Sleep, those dreams and goals are going to be much more difficult to achieve!  And Sports Hypnosis can help the Athlete to drift off to sleep and get a good night's sleep.

It doesn’t matter whether you play or participate in:

golf
hockey
football
baseball
basketball
soccer
martial arts
body building
or any other sport
You need to be properly rested – especially before a major tournament or sporting event!  If you’re not properly rested – physically and mentally – then you’re not going to be giving your best sports performance.

And if an Athlete’s mind is not allowed some down time to process the daily stress, then the Athlete is not going to be as mentally sharp as needed to play their best either.  Lack of sleep will interfere with an Athlete’s ability to Focus.

The biggest problems Athletes tell me about sleep is they have trouble turning their mind off.  About the time they’re ready to go to sleep, they begin to think about practice, the next game, the next big test, their girlfriend / boyfriend, how early they have to get up, paying bills – so many things that just keeps them awake!

And what does the Athlete ask him/herself when sleep just won’t come?
