Hypnosis for a New Level of Discipline and Flow · The Hypnotist

0:00
Welcome to The Hypnotist, the show that gives you inside
0:03
access to cutting edge hypnosis with real clients facing genuine
0:07
issues. Brought to you by the
0:10
hypnotherapist, demanded by celebrities, CEOs and even
0:14
royalty. Adam Cox.
0:16
These recordings took place live from Adam's clinic in London's
0:19
world famous Harley Street. This podcast features powerful
0:23
hypnosis, so do not listen while driving or operating machinery.
0:27
This recording is not suitable for those with epilepsy or
0:30
severe mental health issues, so get yourself comfortable and
0:34
enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
0:40
Hi, it's Adam here. And in this episode of The
0:43
Hypnotist, you're going to be listening to a hypnosis session
0:47
created for an already successful client that wanted to
0:51
level up in their ability to become disciplined and get those
0:57
things done that they would quite often procrastinate on or
1:00
just not do them with the intensity that they would do
1:04
other things. And this guy was very good at
1:08
kind of fitness and in business. And he said this phrase which I
1:13
thought was really important. And that is when it comes to
1:15
working out and going to the gym, he'll do it even if he
1:18
doesn't feel like it. And we can call that a standard
1:21
or we can call that discipline, but clearly it didn't start that
1:25
way. He built that habit.
1:26
He built. That standard and in other areas
1:30
which were more administrative or those things that perhaps
1:36
haven't been linked to momentum and discipline yet felt more
1:41
challenging. So there's a couple of things
1:44
here. One, it starts with regression
1:46
to. Regress to a.
1:47
Point where he can observe that there was something he now does
1:52
to a high standard that initially did require
1:55
discipline. So we're regressing to a.
1:58
Resource state. Second, we're associating into a
2:01
role model. There was someone that he knew
2:04
that had high levels of discipline, flow States and high
2:08
standards that if he had those same states, he could accomplish
2:12
a lot more. So we've got a disassociation
2:15
into a role model state and then associating into those
2:18
resources. And then we've got a couple of
2:20
bits of timeline, so seeing the timeline of the status quo and
2:24
then seeing the timeline if he was able to access more of this
2:29
discipline and momentum. So there's a bit going on here.
2:32
What I quite like about the induction is that in this
2:36
particular case, the client had. A place that.
2:40
They go to when they relax. That wasn't a place that
2:43
actually experienced. They could remember a commercial
2:46
for a travel company showing this kind of picturesque beach
2:50
and that's. What they?
2:51
Thought of as a relaxing place. So we actually have that in the
2:54
induction. What I like that is that most
2:57
times when I work with clients, the induction is a place they've
3:00
actually experienced this client hadn't.
3:03
But it doesn't need to be. You know, you can have your
3:06
imagination take you to fictional places.
3:09
You know, I've done a few sessions in the past based on
3:13
planets that don't even exist. So it doesn't have to be
3:16
something you've experienced to be a level of disassociation or
3:20
be linked to the idea of relaxation.
3:23
So. If you would.
3:25
Like to level up in the level of discipline, particularly in
3:29
certain things. And, and as I was recording this
3:32
with the client, I was thinking, I'm going to listen to this
3:35
recording because there's certain things where I'm trying
3:37
to learn something new that I know I need to practice more and
3:41
I need discipline in that area. So I'll be listening to this in
3:44
the same way that you're listening to it now.
3:46
So it's always good to think of where it would be most useful so
3:50
that you're priming the outcome that you actually do want.
3:54
Of course, it was created for an individual.
3:56
So if you do like the idea of a bespoke session just for you and
4:00
your individual circumstances, there will be a link in the show
4:02
note where you can schedule that free consultation call on Zoom
4:05
and we'll have a chat. For now, though, find a quiet,
4:08
comfortable place where you won't be.
4:09
Disturbed, relax and. Enjoy the session.
4:42
Take a deep. Breath in
4:55
and as you breathe. In Breathe in a resourceful
4:59
feeling of calm and relaxation, and as you exhale you feel a
5:07
wonderful sense of release as it feels like tension is starting
5:18
to melt away. And maybe you could imagine that
5:24
tension slowly leaving your body in your outward breath.
5:36
As you breathe in and breathe out, just allow the breathing to
5:42
slow, to get longer and deeper as you realize that the more
5:51
relaxed you become, the more your imagination awakens.
6:00
Finding it's so much easier to record a memory or think of an
6:06
intention. And I want you to think of a
6:11
memory or create the idea of seeing a commercial for a travel
6:21
company. I want you to imagine seeing
6:27
perhaps even just a few seconds of a pristine beach on a screen
6:33
in front of you. White sands, clear waters.
6:45
Perhaps you can even imagine those palm trees that seem to
6:49
come out of the sand at an angle, leaning towards the
6:55
ocean. And just imagine that thought
7:01
and slow it down. Slow it down in slow motion,
7:07
like 200 frames a second. See the waves almost roll in.
7:14
In slow motion, any movement of the palm trees becomes a gentle
7:22
sway. And use the power of your
7:26
imagination to feel like you're floating into the screen, no
7:35
longer watching a commercial. Imagine being on that beach.
7:44
Maybe you could imagine blue skies, warm sunshine, maybe even
7:51
the feeling of that soft white sand underneath your feet.
7:58
And I wonder if you could imagine walking on that beach,
8:03
hearing the waves gently break on the shore, but then seeing a
8:12
very comfortable hammock tied between 2 palm trees.
8:20
There is no one else on this beach.
8:22
It's just for you. And maybe the hammock is
8:29
slightly in the shade and I want you to imagine how good it would
8:35
feel, just like Goldilocks did when she tried out that bed to
8:44
try this hammer count and notice it's even more comfortable than
8:52
you expected. The distribution of your weight
8:58
is perfect, the kind of hammock that supports you but has that
9:06
movement enabling you to sway slightly.
9:11
And I wonder, I wonder if you could access that full level of
9:18
mindfulness that you're capable of.
9:23
Then notice your breath, the smell on that beach, the
9:28
temperature on your skin. Perhaps you could imagine a
9:36
gentle breeze and the sound of the waves.
9:43
And the more you notice, the deeper relaxed you feel.
9:52
I want you to get a sense that the rhythm of the waves on the
9:55
shore is becoming hypnotic, a slow, steady rhythm that seems
10:02
to synchronize with the rise and fall of your breath.
10:11
The air is warm but perfectly comfortable.
10:18
And as you feel comfortable on that hammock, feeling the
10:28
pressure of the weight of you on the hammock but supporting you,
10:34
it almost feels like you're floating on air.
10:41
And you come to the conclusion that this is your place.
10:46
The place that is conducive to profound changes, unlocking
10:53
powerful resources. And as you sink deeper into
11:00
relaxation, notice how the tension is melting away from
11:09
your shoulders, your arms, your legs.
11:14
And the steady movement of the hammock again starts to
11:19
synchronise with the inward and the outward breath.
11:25
So now the movement of the hammock, the movement of your
11:27
breath, and the sound of the waves all seem to be in harmony.
11:39
But because your attention and what you imagine to be the sound
11:42
of the rhythmic waves rolling in a steady calming pulse that
11:48
seems to synchronize now with your heartbeat.
11:54
Maybe there's other sounds of nature, sea birds or perhaps the
12:02
breeze in the trees, perhaps even the whisper of the wind as
12:08
it moves through the leaves of the palm tree, But also anything
12:16
else around you. And very soon I'm going to
12:21
countdown from 12:50. With each number, you'll feel
12:26
yourself sinking deeper into this peaceful state, deeper into
12:30
the hammock, and the hammock will gently cradle you, guiding
12:37
you into an effortless flow. 10 feeling the weight of your body
12:47
sinking in but fully supported. 9 the gentle rocking, soothing
12:55
your mind and softening any tension.
13:00
And then 8 breathing slower, deeper, more effortlessly.
13:08
That's it. And release that as seven, you
13:12
feel lighter, this weird paradox.
13:17
Sometimes you feel cradled and sometimes you feel like you're
13:19
floating above the havoc. And then six, deeper into
13:24
relaxation, deeper into a mindful flow state as five, the
13:33
world around you seems to fade into stillness, like you are now
13:39
in slow motion. And then four, every muscle
13:43
loosens, gets relaxed and feels at ease. 3 The space between
13:56
your thoughts gets wider and quieter as your thinking slows
14:04
down too, as to a profound sense of peace and calm washes over
14:11
you just as the waves wash over the white sands.
14:19
And then one deeply, deeply relaxed, feeling like you're in
14:25
effortless comfort. And from this place of deep
14:30
relaxation, your mind is open, ready as you embark on a journey
14:42
of wonderful transformation. And I want you to drift back.
14:55
Back to a moment when you started something new that
15:00
required discipline, Something that in the beginning felt like
15:06
an effort, felt uncomfortable, and yet over time became second
15:15
nature. And maybe it was learning a
15:20
skill, maybe it was training for something, maybe something that
15:29
became a habit. But I want you to see yourself
15:33
as you were in the early days. Without that discipline, it
15:41
wouldn't have become second nature.
15:47
There are thousands of people, if not millions, but because
15:51
going to the gym the very first time is uncomfortable, they
15:55
never go back. Sometimes discipline return
16:02
something that feels uncomfortable, comfortable, and
16:07
if you can recall a moment from your past where you did that
16:10
difficult thing using that discipline, but over time it got
16:16
easier, just let me know by nodding your head.
16:22
And I want you to get a sense that there are some things right
16:26
now in your life that are like that.
16:31
Let they get easier and easier because the discipline creates
16:36
the momentum. I want you to think of a moment
16:41
when you were a child in a playground.
16:46
I want you to see a roundabout. I want you to get a sense that
16:52
when the roundabout is stationary, it requires effort
16:58
and strength to get the roundabout moving.
17:03
But interestingly, once the roundabout is moving, it takes
17:08
almost no effort to keep it spinning around.
17:17
Think of that thing that required the discipline.
17:20
It required the discipline in the early days or when that
17:26
roundabout was slowing down. Fast forward through time and
17:34
watch how that initial discipline and effort turned
17:39
into a habit that paid you dividends for years after How it
17:46
became a new standard for you. Imagine that is planting a seed
17:55
in your subconscious mind. But some of these things that
18:00
you find difficult are just because you haven't got enough
18:05
speed in that roundabout yet. Just a bit more discipline will
18:11
create a feeling of momentum and soon they become easy for you.
18:19
But other people will look at you and assume that you need
18:22
discipline everyday, but you don't.
18:27
The discipline is just to launch this new habit.
18:31
Once it's in orbit, no effort or little effort is needed.
18:42
But let's take you back from the past to someone that you know
18:51
has certain resources or strategies that would be useful
18:55
for you. And I want you to think of a
19:00
specific person who already has that discipline mindset.
19:07
The resources are even the balance that you believe would
19:12
help you the most. Maybe you know this person
19:17
personally, maybe they're a mentor, or perhaps even someone
19:24
you admire from a distance. Hold an image of them in your
19:30
mind's eye at a point where they don't just have those qualities,
19:38
they exude those qualities. They have them in abundance.
19:42
And when you can recall that person in that state, let me
19:49
know by nodding your head. Notice how they carry themselves
19:59
their body language. Their Physiology, their facial
20:04
expressions, their confidence, their focus, their drive.
20:09
But also observe their attitudes, their beliefs, their
20:13
standards. I want you to see them at the
20:18
time when it isn't easy, but they get it done anyway.
20:27
I want you to get a sense. Then a new belief is forming in
20:32
your mind that anything that anyone else can do, experience,
20:39
or feel, it's possible for you to emulate.
20:42
That their focus can be your focus.
20:50
Their standards or balance can be yours.
20:55
Nothing is off the table. So to begin with, just observe
21:03
them from a distance, like watching a film of their life,
21:10
absorbing the patterns of excellence they embody, their
21:15
standards. And when you see them at a point
21:20
in time where it would be most beneficial for you to have those
21:24
strategies, those beliefs, for those resources, imagine pausing
21:31
that movie and stepping into their world, stepping inside
21:39
their body and seeing the world through their eyes.
21:46
Something that would currently be a challenge for you is not a
21:49
challenge for them because they think of it differently.
21:54
So notice how it would feel to be in their body with their
21:58
resources, but thinking of something that was a challenge
22:03
for you recently. And notice when you think of
22:07
that challenge, it seems more achievable, easier to start a
22:16
winnable battle, perhaps even when you're in a dialogue is not
22:23
of aversion or repulsion, but of excitement, intrigue, or desire.
22:31
You want to do that thing. It calls you.
22:37
It feels like this is well within your capabilities.
22:48
Feel that inner confidence, those unshakable standards.
22:57
It's not only something attainable, but something that
23:02
the more challenging becomes, the more it unlocks a flow state
23:07
within you. That hybrid of capability and
23:16
mindfulness gets you in a state where time becomes distorted.
23:26
Things that once were difficult are now easy, like you've
23:32
extracted something from the matrix that now has unlocked
23:35
something powerful within you. And as you think about that
23:41
challenging thing, imagine doing it and you might be thinking
23:48
like how they think, but it's now you're in a dialogue, it's
23:53
your resources. Perhaps you can even feel more
23:59
determined, more motivated, more tenacious than they would.
24:06
What if their resources is just whetting your appetite to take
24:10
it to an even higher level, to move through life with that
24:17
element of certainty, intensity, but also not obsessiveness?
24:26
You, more than most, are aware that becoming obsessed often
24:35
comes with challenges in other areas.
24:39
I want you to feel just like Goldilocks.
24:41
Then you're reaching the point where it's just right, that
24:48
point before it turns into diminishing returns, that point
24:52
where you get the maximum value before it leads to those issues
24:59
with health or relationships. And if you find that sweet spot
25:05
the ideal balance, let me know by nodding your head.
25:12
And I want you to feel this as a feeling within you.
25:18
Some people feel anxiety in their guts or stress in their
25:21
shoulders. And if that's true, then you can
25:24
also feel this standard within you and notice when you name it,
25:34
you can recall it quicker. And maybe it is discipline,
25:39
maybe it is motivation or flow or power.
25:48
Some people call personal power the ability to get done what
25:54
needs to be done. When you name it and locate it,
26:00
you unlock it. And when you feel like you know
26:03
where it is and what it is, just point to that location.
26:16
That's it. Give it a colour and then
26:21
amplify that colour. You know, have a location, a
26:26
colour. Make it brighter but also give
26:29
it a sound. Consider these mnemonics to make
26:35
it easier to harness and anchor this state when you need it
26:39
most, as you feel that their qualities are merging with your
26:48
own, creating something more powerful than just your version
26:55
or their version. Their discipline, their way of
27:00
accessing flow is now integrating with your
27:04
subconscious to create something even more powerful.
27:13
But before we return to the present, let's explore two
27:16
different futures. I want you to imagine seeing
27:22
your life like it's two different pathways going in
27:27
slightly different directions. Each pathway takes you five
27:34
years into the future. But first, let's visit the
27:39
future where you don't harness this state.
27:43
Your standards remain the standards as they were before.
27:48
The future where you stay on the same trajectory, maintaining
27:53
just your current level of discipline, just allowing things
27:57
to unfold as they are now. Not a bad life, some would be
28:03
envious of that life, but a life where you don't fully tap into
28:09
what's possible for you. So let's travel down that path
28:14
and observe you like you're someone else in that version of
28:19
the future, but observe it from the perspective of the
28:25
opportunity cost. What have you missed out on?
28:35
Where could you have been? Notice the emotion that comes
28:41
up. Is this future inspiring or
28:45
feeling frustrating? Does it create a feeling of
28:51
energy and intensity, or perhaps regret?
28:58
And then take a deep breath in and step back from this
29:01
timeline, knowing that you have the power to choose another
29:06
path. So see that other part now, but
29:13
this time it leads to a future where you have fully embraced
29:18
your unique version of discipline and flow.
29:23
The future where you take the action consistently, but not
29:27
perfectly. This is a future of commitment
29:33
and consistency, of incremental progress.
29:40
The discipline is like a muscle, and in this future you train
29:43
that muscle so it gets stronger. Breaking from inertia to
29:49
momentum is also a muscle, and that muscle gets stronger.
29:54
So notice the small daily actions that build momentum and
29:59
the compounded rewards of your discipline.
30:04
What happens when you access those flow states more
30:07
frequently? If it feels like this future
30:12
seems more appealing, let me know about nodding your head and
30:17
then step into that version of yourself.
30:20
Feel how good it feels to be in that flow state, to have that
30:25
balance, to be doing more, having more, creating more,
30:30
impacting more. Notice how it feels to embody
30:36
this version of you, and maybe that sensation, that resource
30:42
that was glowing in that colour with that sound is more common
30:48
in this future than it was in the other.
30:52
Which tells you everything you need to know that you will train
30:56
this muscle because it takes your life in the direction that
31:00
you desire. And while you're in that future,
31:07
notice what you value most. Maybe you're in a dialogue is
31:14
slightly different, different tonality.
31:19
Feel how natural this new discipline and flow state has
31:22
become. That other people can't fathom
31:27
what you accomplish and achieve because they can't access the
31:32
state that you access frequently.
31:38
And since you're in the future, you get to look back at your
31:40
current self and realise to get there.
31:46
It wasn't about being perfect, it was about being consistent.
31:52
It wasn't about waiting for motivation.
31:55
It was about taking action and allowing the action to create
32:01
the momentum. So take a deep breath and allow
32:07
this future you to imprint deeply within your subconscious,
32:13
knowing from this moment on, each day you are making gradual
32:19
progress to become this version of yourself and then feel like
32:27
you're returning back to that hammock.
32:31
Feeling like your mind has taken you on a journey to the past,
32:34
the present, and the future. Feel like you're able to leave
32:40
that hammock and walk on that sandy beach?
32:43
Feeling more resourceful, a sense of clarity with more
32:48
discipline, more energy, more intention, and knowing your
32:56
subconscious mind has clear coordinates for the future that
33:01
you are navigating towards. It's time to leave this beach.
33:10
So imagine taking a deep breath in through your nose and out
33:12
through your nose and feel yourself being sucked back
33:18
through ATV screen and back into the here and now.
33:28
Very soon I will count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
33:31
You will awaken with these resources knowing that like
33:35
anything, it gets stronger and more powerful the more you train
33:41
and use it. And those difficult things
33:44
become an opportunity to train it.
33:49
Starting to count to awaken you. 123 Waking up. 456 More alert
33:56
7-8 Open your eyes. Open your eyes. 910 Wide awake,
34:01
wide awake, wide awake. Thank you for listening to The
