The Art Of Optimism

I’m sitting here in between client sessions, and wondering what I can do to give you guys something of great value. Something that you can use right now to make a real difference to the quality of your life.

So, here it is – An absolutely fantastic way for you as a hypnotherapist to increase your energy levels in rapid time.

But the key is you’ve got to act on this information right now. What I don’t want is for you to read this post, agree it’s a good idea, but never actually do anything about it.

So get ready to take action RIGHT NOW!

Step 1

Think about what it would be like to have the perfect hypnotherapy practice. What does that mean to you? Imagine how it’s going to feel; visualise it in minute detail. That’s right – you know the drill, you do it with your clients all the time.

Now, I want you to list all the reasons you’re not at that goal yet. What is currently happening that’s preventing you from having that perfect hypnotherapy business?

Your list will be unique to you, but here are some ideas to get you started:

• I’m not working with the right type of clients
• I’m not working with the right type of issues
• I’m not comfortable with my work space
• I don’t enjoy the hours I’m working
• I often feel outside of my comfort zone with clients
• Professionally, I often feel low on confidence or doubt myself
• I’m not getting enough new clients
• I worry about getting enough revenues in

Step 2

All of these problems or ‘energy drains’ can be flipped around so that their opposite becomes a goal in itself.

Remember the quote from Illusions by Richard Bach?

“You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it however.”

(It’s quite amazing how often you see this quote reproduced and people conveniently forget the second sentence!)

Anyway, make a list of your new energy boosting goals. Just writing them out is going to ignite your energy and motivation. Again, it will be a unique list for you, but here are a few to get you started:

• I only work with clients I enjoy working with
• My workspace/practice rooms are perfect
• I work the hours I am comfortable with and clients need to fit in with that
• I have significantly built up my professional skills
• I have built up my self-confidence
• I am getting more clients than I can handle. I have a long waiting list
• I have put up my charges, and I am seeing clients for more sessions
• And so on…

Step 3

Now, in order to fully prove the Richard Bach quote to be accurate, you need to get to work on the list.

Just writing the list out should give you the immediate energy boost I promised you, but now you need to make it happen.

Give yourself at least one simple and powerful ‘breakthrough’ task for each of your goals.

Remember each goal is a pathway, and each pathway begins with one step.

All the best

A quick side note

With many of the hypnotherapists I speak to, one of the fundamental problems underlying their ‘energy drain’ issues is a lack of self belief. In other words, they say to me “If I could just get more clients, more training, more scripts, more help etc, then I will have more self-belief and confidence.” And if this is you, then I have only one thing to say to you:

You’ve got to believe in yourself first, and then take care of the other things. Once you’ve built your self-belief up, all other problems become significantly easier to deal with.

Tell me this; did you ever have weight loss clients say to you “If I could just lose weight, then I would have higher self esteem”?

Well, I don’t know about you, but when I hear that statement, I immediately know that the client needs to build up their self-esteem first, and then the weight loss will quickly and easily follow.

Anyway, good luck. I really hope this post is helpful to you, and if you do feel that self-belief might be at the heart of some of the problems you’re currently experiencing, then let me seriously suggest that you find yourself a high level coach or professional mentor. It really will make all the difference for you.

I’m not just saying this because I’m launching my own coaching program this weekend. I actually believe it 100%. Personally, I’ve always had coaches and mentors, and it’s one of the key reasons I’ve enjoyed the success I have.
