• 0:41
  Hi, Adam here. And you're about to listen to a
• 0:44
  hypnotherapy session all about self-discipline and personal
• 0:49
  responsibility. And I was working with a
• 0:53
  particular client that had got into this recurring state of
• 0:58
  apathy and procrastination. And what that meant for them is
• 1:03
  that they didn't really feel like doing too much.
• 1:06
  And the consequence of not doing too much is that they weren't
• 1:09
  getting dopamine from accomplishment and from
• 1:13
  achieving particular things or learning new things.
• 1:16
  Actually, they were getting their dopamine from very easy
• 1:20
  accessible dopamine like online videos and things like that.
• 1:25
  And what that doesn't do is teach someone to have discipline
• 1:29
  and personal responsibility because the dopamine comes too
• 1:33
  easily. So if you are listening to this
• 1:36
  and you've got a bit of a doom scrolling addiction or sometimes
• 1:40
  you have this kind of overall feeling of what's the point?
• 1:43
  I can't really be asked to do that thing that I think you will
• 1:46
  get some value from this session because in essence it can
• 1:50
  activate the part within you that can become more
• 1:54
  disciplined. And I think an excellent
• 1:56
  metaphor for discipline is a muscle.
• 2:00
  Because if you went to the gym and you wanted to be stronger
• 2:03
  and you went straight to their heavy heavyweights, you wouldn't
• 2:06
  be able to lift them at all, which means you're not getting
• 2:09
  any value. And if you did the lightest
• 2:12
  possible weights, then you might think there's something being
• 2:16
  accomplished, but it's not actually going to make you any
• 2:18
  stronger because there's no resistance.
• 2:21
  So the optimal level of things to do that build an element of
• 2:26
  discipline are things just beyond your comfort zone, things
• 2:29
  that are difficult but doable. And if you get that habit of
• 2:33
  doing difficult but doable things, whether you feel like it
• 2:37
  or not, then your personal levels of self-discipline can
• 2:40
  just go through the roof. And I would say it is one of the
• 2:44
  key USPS to differentiate individuals.
• 2:48
  Generally in society. The people that have more
• 2:51
  self-discipline and more personal responsibility get
• 2:54
  rewarded with more opportunities and they are favoured by
• 3:00
  different organizations. That could be a client
• 3:03
  outsourcing something to you. It could be a corporate entity
• 3:08
  that wants to give you more responsibility.
• 3:10
  But when you build up personal responsibility, other people
• 3:13
  have credibility in your ability to do what you say you're going
• 3:18
  to do. And there's lots of people that
• 3:20
  just don't project that particular element.
• 3:23
  They've got so much apathy and and so much of no personal
• 3:28
  responsibility that people don't want to offer them opportunities
• 3:33
  because they don't think they're going to do anything with it
• 3:36
  anyway. So if you want to, let's say,
• 3:39
  build the muscle of self-discipline for you and you
• 3:42
  want to increase feelings of self and personal
• 3:47
  responsibility, then I think you'll get some value from this
• 3:50
  session. It was created for an individual
• 3:52
  though, so some of the suggestions might be perfect for
• 3:54
  them and not quite right for you.
• 3:56
  And if you like this kind of stuff, particularly things.
• 3:59
  That relate to. Success and productivity.
• 4:02
  Then I actually have a membership called the Hypnotist
• 4:05
  Secret Circle, and in the Hypnotist Secret Circle there is
• 4:08
  a whole section of about 100 different downloads, all about
• 4:12
  success, productivity and achievement accomplishments.
• 4:16
  So if you like this kind of stuff, there's lots more of that
• 4:19
  and you can find that link in the descripcion.
• 4:22
  For now though, find a quiet, comfortable place where you
• 4:25
  won't be disturbed. Relax and enjoy the session.
• 5:16
  Take a deep breath in, and as you breathe in, breathe in that
• 5:25
  resourceful feeling of calm and relaxation.
• 5:30
  And as you exhale, feel a wonderful sense that you're
• 5:36
  releasing any frustrations blocks.
• 5:42
  Just allow it to leave your body in that outward breath.
• 5:51
  Scan your body for any clues of tension, maybe around your jaw,
• 5:56
  your neck or your shoulders, and feel that tension start to melt
• 6:05
  away. Breathing in resource for
• 6:09
  relaxation and exhaling that tension, that stress, that worry
• 6:17
  in your outward breath. And as your body relaxes more,
• 6:25
  your imagination begins to open. And I want you to imagine
• 6:33
  entering a place where clarity, strength, and a feeling of
• 6:43
  discipline becomes easier to access.
• 6:50
  And maybe you could imagine A room, a room just within your
• 6:57
  imagination. And in this space, you begin to
• 7:04
  connect with a deeper part of yourself.
• 7:12
  And maybe this part already knows what it means to be
• 7:18
  disciplined, the part within you that wants to be stronger and
• 7:26
  more responsible, more reliable, to feel powerful.
• 7:40
  I want you to get a sense of that deeper Part of you has been
• 7:48
  looking for an opportunity to be challenged to get stronger.
• 8:04
  I want you to think about what it would take to be stronger in
• 8:10
  anything. To be physically stronger means
• 8:18
  something needs to be difficult, to encounter resistance, to feel
• 8:28
  outside of that comfort zone, and to allow your physical body
• 8:35
  to adapt and to heal. Strength physically comes from
• 8:47
  the difficulty, comes from the challenge.
• 8:53
  And I want you to get a sense then that part within you is
• 9:02
  feeling like discipline and personal responsibility is a
• 9:08
  weak muscle that desires to be stronger.
• 9:12
  And in the in the past where you've avoided responsibility,
• 9:23
  you found yourself becoming weaker, which then just leads to
• 9:29
  even more avoidance. But what if that circle and
• 9:34
  cycle can be reversed? The moment that you feel with
• 9:48
  100% conviction that you are responsible for your life, a
• 10:01
  breakthrough is made. The realization that
• 10:06
  responsibility is not a burden but a gift.
• 10:16
  And the moment that penny drops is the real moment that a child
• 10:25
  becomes an adult, a boy becomes a man, because childhood is the
• 10:34
  time where you're not responsible.
• 10:39
  Those responsibilities are held by someone else.
• 10:44
  But as you get older, you take more and more of those
• 10:51
  responsibilities, the responsibility to be clean, to
• 10:57
  eat, to study your work, each time becoming stronger and
• 11:06
  stronger. Doing what's easy can make you
• 11:17
  weaker, and doing what's difficult can make you stronger.
• 11:24
  But what if more and more you find it easier and easier to
• 11:29
  delay what's easy or pleasurable?
• 11:36
  Because doing the difficult thing becomes rewarding in and
• 11:41
  of itself. Maybe you could enjoy the quiet
• 11:47
  satisfaction of doing what needs to be done, especially when no
• 11:54
  one is watching. What if that becomes the
• 11:59
  benchmark of someone who leads themselves?
• 12:03
  And what if that's someone is you?
• 12:10
  I want you to access that powerful part within you that
• 12:13
  rises to challenges. That part that relishes the
• 12:20
  difficult, challenging thing that once the tight deadlines,
• 12:28
  once the difficult problems. That part that says I've got
• 12:33
  this when things do get tough. A part of you that enjoys
• 12:41
  proving quietly and confidently as to what you are capable of.
• 12:51
  There are some people waiting for motivation to appear to them
• 12:55
  like a genie from a bottle, and others that seize the day, take
• 13:03
  the bull by the horns, those that act because that's what
• 13:11
  they want to do. And of course, life will throw
• 13:16
  you distractions and resistance, friction and hurdles.
• 13:23
  But what if they become a chance to refocus, to recommit, to
• 13:30
  strengthen your resolve, to raise your standards?
• 13:38
  What if every time you did something that needed to be done
• 13:43
  that was difficult or challenging felt like lifting a
• 13:46
  weight, where the muscle of discipline grows stronger each
• 13:52
  time? And it's OK to feel that quiet
• 13:58
  confidence when you honour your responsibilities.
• 14:05
  Leaders take their responsibilities more.
• 14:13
  Isn't that more empowering than shirking whatever
• 14:16
  responsibilities you already have?
• 14:24
  I want you to feel that it's safe to be in control of your
• 14:26
  choices, because with that safety comes strength.
• 14:38
  I want you to think of even small responsibilities that you
• 14:45
  can take. Attendance, hygiene.
• 14:56
  Maybe you've made a promise to someone, and you're now going to
• 15:00
  honor that promise. Maybe you're going to raise your
• 15:05
  standard in an area of your life, knowing that higher
• 15:10
  standards mean more responsibilities, and more
• 15:15
  responsibilities are an opportunity to get even
• 15:18
  stronger. Every time you hold yourself
• 15:24
  accountable, you step further into the life you were meant to
• 15:29
  lead. And what if you were no longer
• 15:34
  procrastinating because the decisive action feels natural
• 15:42
  and satisfying? All of that frustration or even
• 15:49
  desperation can be replaced with a sense of pride, momentum, and
• 15:53
  accomplishment. You choose structure over chaos,
• 16:01
  clarity over confusion. But most importantly, you choose
• 16:07
  action over avoidance. And that part within you?
• 16:15
  A wise and trusted part enjoys being responsible and wants that
• 16:25
  responsibility. And maybe that's the part that
• 16:30
  knows how strong. You are capable.
• 16:35
  Of becoming a part within that trusts you and the more you
• 16:43
  honour your priorities, the more deeply you trust yourself.
• 16:49
  And that trust changes everything.
• 16:54
  Even a problem or a set back becomes fuel for growth because
• 17:01
  you take responsibility. You either win or you learn, but
• 17:08
  either way you adapt and you move forward.
• 17:13
  I want you to get a sense of what it would be to
• 17:17
  incrementally increase your discipline, your personal
• 17:21
  responsibility. If you wanted to get strong, you
• 17:27
  wouldn't go to a gym and lift a very heavyweight.
• 17:32
  You would lift a weight that feels difficult but doable,
• 17:39
  challenging yet achievable. And these are the exact
• 17:45
  responsibilities to look for in life.
• 17:49
  Challenging yet achievable, difficult yet doable.
• 17:57
  And when you do the difficult thing, it becomes less
• 18:00
  difficult, which will mean that you will need to look for new
• 18:06
  difficult things each time with the knowledge that you are
• 18:10
  getting stronger and stronger. And what if this starts now?
• 18:21
  Today I want you to think of an easy win, Something that is
• 18:33
  doable and not that challenging, but would still represent
• 18:38
  progress compared to what you have been doing.
• 18:45
  That isn't the end of the race. It's the beginning, the warm up,
• 18:52
  the stretching before you do something more challenging.
• 18:59
  And I want you to set yourself the challenge of doing perhaps
• 19:06
  three things today that you've been avoiding or putting off,
• 19:12
  and just imagine what it would look like and feel like to do
• 19:15
  those three things. Where would you need to be?
• 19:21
  What would you need to do? What resources would you need to
• 19:25
  do it? And just play it out in your
• 19:28
  mind these three different things that you've been
• 19:32
  avoiding, procrastinating, or delaying.
• 19:39
  Consider this priming. Priming your mind to prepare and
• 19:45
  then do those things. Not impossible things, but not
• 19:51
  easy things. Easier.
• 19:54
  I want you to get a sense that you are doing something that
• 19:58
  perhaps is only difficult because you've delayed it, but
• 20:03
  then doing that thing means it's easier the next time.
• 20:12
  And if it's possible for you to increase attendance, increase
• 20:20
  work ethic or concentration or focus, then prove that to
• 20:27
  yourself by finding something that needs you to be present,
• 20:33
  you to be focused, or you to be hard working or diligent in some
• 20:39
  way. You are awakening that part, the
• 20:47
  part that knows that if it's going to be, then it's up to me.
• 20:56
  A mantra you can tell yourself. So you take ownership of
• 21:02
  decisions, actions and intentions.
• 21:09
  And I want you to feel that when muscles get stronger, you take
• 21:13
  pride in using them and you want to make them even stronger than
• 21:17
  before. And to make your muscle of
• 21:23
  discipline or personal responsibility or diligence
• 21:26
  stronger, it means doing things you don't normally do in a
• 21:35
  consistent, conscious, deliberate way.
• 21:42
  That's how those muscles get stronger.
• 21:47
  It's time to leave this place, this place, this room in your
• 21:51
  imagination and return to the present.
• 21:53
  But take this feeling of desire, the desire to be more
• 21:59
  responsible, to take more responsibility, and to harness
• 22:06
  the growing muscle of discipline to take those responsibilities.
• 22:13
  So take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 22:19
  nose. Wiggle your fingers and wiggle
• 22:22
  your toes. Connect and calibrate into the
• 22:24
  here and the now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken
• 22:30
  you. Starting to count 123 waking up
• 22:36
  456 more alert 7-8. Open your eyes.
• 22:39
  Open your eyes 910. Wide awake.
• 22:43
  Wide awake. Wide awake.
