Hypnosis to Feel Fearless, Aggressive and Decisive When Playing Football · 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
0:46
created for a an aspiring American football player.
0:51
And this particular client was feeling hesitant to make hard
1:00
tackles, partly because there was a feeling that it could lead
1:03
to pain or possible injury or that it it might just go in a
1:09
way that could be embarrassing if it didn't go to plan
1:12
effectively. They were getting inside their
1:14
own head. And what you're going to hear in
1:16
this hypnosis session is to really factor in this idea that
1:21
how does that play out? If the anticipation of either
1:25
pain or embarrassment stays there, could that impede their
1:30
ability to have the kind of future that they would want?
1:35
And then contrasting that with a different timeline and that
1:38
timeline is going all out. So framing it that if they don't
1:45
anticipate the pain, feeling that any pain, any injuries are
1:48
manageable because every pain and injury they'd ever had in
1:51
their life, they came to the conclusion that it was
1:54
manageable, undesirable, but manageable.
1:57
And therefore, to allow themselves to be more decisive,
2:03
more intuitive, more instinctive, more aggressive.
2:06
And how would that timeline play out?
2:08
And it was their evaluation that that second version of them
2:13
would have more opportunities, would feel a greater sense of
2:17
pride and would have less probability of having regret in
2:21
their future. And that's really what it's
2:23
about, that the element of those people that hold back and don't
2:30
really pursue big life goals end up either frustrated or
2:36
regretful, and that's not normally a good thing.
2:40
So although this is based around this idea of tackling and
2:43
football, it's unlikely that you are an aspiring college American
2:50
football player. In which case, allow football or
2:53
the game to be a metaphor because I guarantee there is one
2:58
area in your life that you're inside your own head too much,
3:02
that you're holding back, that you're anticipating what may or
3:06
may not happen or being judged. In which case, you're no
3:10
different from this client that I was working with.
3:12
It just happens to be football for them, and it might be
3:15
something else for you. In which case, use the football
3:18
game as the metaphor and think of your timeline taking you on
3:22
two different paths, what your future looks like with this
3:25
hesitation and anticipation and what it looks like when you kind
3:30
of go all in and, and just deal with whatever life throws at
3:34
you. And you might find that actually
3:36
this helps you to just be a bit more of who you really are.
3:40
Anyway. Of course, this was created for
3:43
an individual. So if you like the idea of a
3:45
bespoke individual session, there will be a link in the show
3:48
notes where you can schedule that free consultation call to
3:51
explore working with me. For now though, find a quiet,
3:54
comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
3:56
Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
4:47
you breathe in, breathe in a feeling of relaxation.
4:50
And as you exhale, allow your eyelids to close.
4:56
That's it. And when you breathe in, breathe
5:01
in slightly deeper than you normally would.
5:05
And as you exhale, just allow that outward breath to elongate,
5:12
going out for longer. When you breathe in, just
5:17
imagine breathing in a feeling of relaxation, and as you
5:23
exhale, feel a sense of tension, stress, or worries.
5:29
Feel like it's leaving your body in the outward breath.
5:40
As you breathe in and breathe out, scan your body for any
5:45
clues of tension, perhaps around your forehead, your eyelids,
5:53
even your jaw, and give permission for this tension to
5:59
be released, especially in that outward breath.
6:09
As you feel your body begin to relax, notice your eyelids
6:15
getting heavier as you find it very easy to focus on the sound
6:23
of my voice. The deeper you breathe, the more
6:29
relaxed you become, and the more relaxed you become, the deeper
6:33
you breathe. As your physical body relaxes,
6:39
your imagination awakens. I want you to use the power of
6:47
your imagination to imagine a field, maybe a specific field or
6:56
just a field that your imagination presents you with.
7:05
Imagine it's a sunny day, blue skies.
7:10
I don't want you to imagine you are barefoot on this field.
7:16
Feel the sensation of that grass underneath the soles of your
7:23
feet, feeling like you're grounding, connecting between
7:31
your energy and that of the earth beneath you, which you can
7:38
imagine the feeling of sunshine on your skin.
7:40
And when you find what looks to be a comfortable patch of grass,
7:52
imagine how good it would feel to lie on that grass.
7:59
Just imagine blue skies and fluffy white clouds.
8:06
Imagine the sensation perhaps of your hands, arms or legs just
8:13
there on that soft grass. As you look up at the blue
8:18
skies, I just noticed the clouds floating by.
8:27
Moving slowly and with each breath you take, allow yourself
8:38
to drift deeper into relaxation. Each time you exhale, feel your
8:47
body sinking into the grass beneath you, becoming heavier
8:54
and more relaxed, and maybe you can notice just how calm and
9:01
peaceful it feels, as though you're becoming one with the
9:07
earth beneath you. And now, with each cloud you see
9:14
drifting above, I want you to imagine that you're counting
9:19
them down. Let's start with #10 and as you
9:30
focus on that first cloud, allow your body to relax even more
9:37
deeply. Ten, you're watching that cloud
9:43
slowly drift away. And then nine, another cloud
9:48
deeper, still, feeling relaxed. 8 becoming more and more at
9:56
ease. That's it.
9:59
As you loosen any muscles in your jaw, 7 every muscle in your
10:04
body unwinding, six, just releasing any tension in your
10:10
neck and your shoulders, and five, letting go of any
10:15
remaining tension 4 continuing to see those clouds and feeling
10:21
peaceful and calm, and then three.
10:27
Imagine your body feeling heavy, but in a good way, heavy and
10:33
relaxed. Two, almost completely relaxed
10:39
and one, deeply, deeply relaxed. So with every breath you take,
10:48
feel yourself even more relaxed, even more open to the
10:53
suggestions I'm about to give you.
11:00
So now, as you lie here, imagining the sensation of the
11:05
grass beneath you, I want you to bring your focus to your body.
11:13
Imagine a warm wave of relaxation spreading through
11:16
your muscles, starting off at your toes and moving up to your
11:22
feet. That sensation comes up to your
11:26
calves, your thighs, your hips, and all the way up to your chest
11:32
and then your arms and then your head as you feel how deeply
11:36
relaxed you are, calm, comfortable, and completely in
11:45
control. I want you to get a sense that
11:54
for the last few months, perhaps even years, you've been holding
12:00
back from what you're truly capable of.
12:07
Some people call it analysis paralysis.
12:12
Some people call it hesitation. I want you to get a sense that
12:20
for very good reasons, you've been holding back.
12:25
Because your brain is not hardwired for success, growth,
12:32
accomplishment, even happiness. Your brain is hard wired for
12:40
safety and security. Your brain is trying to keep you
12:50
safe. Those split seconds of
12:55
hesitation, of avoidance, of not for fully committing.
13:05
It's because your brain wants to keep you safe.
13:11
But what if keeping you safe from very manageable pain takes
13:20
away from you the ability to live an incredible life, to live
13:26
your dream? I want you to get a sense then.
13:35
Physical pain is always temporary, but regrets can echo
13:43
for decades. I want you to get a sense then
13:50
203040 years from now, you won't be able to recall any injuries
13:58
or physical pain, but you might still feel a sense of
14:05
frustration of what you missed out on.
14:11
So let's explore two different futures.
14:17
The first future where you hold back, and the second future
14:25
where you give everything you've got.
14:36
I want you to imagine up in the sky now.
14:41
Instead of seeing clouds, just imagine seeing a ginormous
14:46
television screen, almost like the sky is now a movie theatre.
14:58
And I want you to imagine yourself on that screen, pitcher
15:04
yourself standing at the edge of the football field, see yourself
15:10
mid game preparing to make a tackle, and see yourself
15:17
hesitating, pausing. Maybe you can see the weight of
15:28
the moment, the decision you need to make.
15:35
I want you to get a sense that that version of you pauses.
15:42
That version of you either doesn't make the tackle at all
15:48
or makes it too late and just see yourself being trucked,
15:54
being sent flying off. I want you to get a sense then
16:02
in this first timeline you're seeing that there is a self
16:09
fulfilling prophecy that by hesitating you increase the risk
16:16
of injury and any injuries give you more evidence to hold back
16:23
even more. So see that version of you that
16:30
hesitates, that is thinking about pain before there is any
16:37
pain? Someone who anticipates
16:42
undesirable outcomes, the weight of the pressure, or the anxiety
16:47
of failure. This version of you lacks
16:52
certainty, unsure of whether to go for the tackle, afraid of
16:59
getting hurt or just messing up the moment in this timeline, see
17:10
yourself backing off, letting the hesitation take hold.
17:15
This version of you has gone very good at justifying that
17:23
hesitation, those failed attempts.
17:29
But I want you to imagine that others are also watching
17:36
coaches, scouts, other players. There is a reputation that is
17:44
being built around you, capable and competent but somehow
17:53
holding back. I want you to see how this plays
18:00
out, not in one game, but over a season, over a school year.
18:10
I want you to see that this version of you has doors of
18:14
opportunity closing that you have no idea about.
18:21
You're not involved in those conversations.
18:23
There is no opportunity to do things differently.
18:28
You're being evaluated without your realisation.
18:33
I want you to step into that version of you, game after game
18:43
after game. Feel the hesitation, the doubt,
18:48
the uncertainty, the frustration.
18:57
You feel that you can't trust your intuition in this timeline
19:02
and get a sense that certain things are happening which give
19:07
you clues that people are losing confidence in your abilities.
19:17
Maybe less time on the field playing, less feedback you're
19:25
getting from certain coaches. I want you to get a sense.
19:33
Then you're also feeling frustrated.
19:39
Feel that because of this, some of the enthusiasm for the game
19:44
is going. I want you to get a sense.
19:49
Then this version of you is trapped in a cycle, cycle of
19:56
doubt and fear, and as you continue to avoid these
20:01
challenges, bring it to an inevitable conclusion as to what
20:11
is to likely happen in this timeline.
20:17
Perhaps missing a scholarship offer or perhaps just feeling
20:23
frustrated. That you never really gave it
20:27
your all. Feel the heaviness of this
20:31
timeline, the weight of hesitation, and just get a sense
20:36
of how much it is holding you back.
20:43
If you get a sense that this is in no way desirable, let me know
20:47
by nodding your head. That's it.
20:52
Then just shrink that screen all the way down and create a new
20:55
screen, even bigger this time, even more colorful.
20:59
Let's make it 3 dimensional, filling up the whole sky.
21:04
But now you see yourself one day, one week from now.
21:11
But this time you can see something different in your
21:14
facial expression. Something has changed.
21:20
There is a fearlessness, an aura of invincibility.
21:27
This version of you is fearless in the face of an opposition.
21:38
See yourself intuitively making tackles, perhaps a second, even
21:47
2 earlier than you would have done in the past, and because of
21:51
that, you're able to pick up more speed, build more momentum,
21:58
and the laws of physics are now on your side.
22:03
See yourself making more tackles.
22:06
See yourself with more aggression, more dominance, more
22:11
belief, making hard tackles. I want you to see the
22:20
expressions of other people on your team or the coaches.
22:25
See that you are building a reputation of fearlessness.
22:33
See that version of you that's decisive, fearless, intuitive.
22:43
And that intuition means that your unconscious is doing the
22:47
thinking for you, and you can trust that your body is
22:52
evaluating all the information possible.
22:58
Sometimes you'll be amazed at what you did, not knowing where
23:01
it came from, and yet you did it.
23:06
This new version of you is not afraid of pain.
23:11
This version of you knows that pain is simply part of the game.
23:15
It's manageable, it's temporary, and it doesn't stop you.
23:22
It never holds you back. This version of you makes
23:27
decisions quickly, instinctively, without
23:30
hesitation. See that version of you, game
23:35
after game, trusting your body, trusting your training, and
23:43
trusting your drive. Maybe see yourself two months
23:53
from now. See yourself on that same field,
24:00
but now even more committed to every tackle.
24:06
And then step into that version of you.
24:10
Feel that you're not watching it on a screen in the sky, but you
24:13
are on the field. Feel the power of your legs as
24:18
you Sprint forward, feeling like you're going faster than you've
24:22
ever sprinted before. You'll focus sharp and clear.
24:29
There is no thought at all about pain, the hit, or any potential
24:34
failure. You're focused on the objective,
24:42
the goal, the purpose. You move decisively, powerfully,
24:47
without fear, without hesitation.
24:52
Feel yourself making the tackle a hard tackle.
24:56
Feel it's successful and feel a rush of pride and
25:01
accomplishment. Feel a sense of invincibility.
25:08
Logically, you know you're not invincible.
25:12
You're not immune from pain, but it has no place in your mind
25:17
here on the field. And then imagine being back on
25:23
the grass, looking up at that huge 3 dimensional movie theatre
25:31
in the sky and you see this version of you committing to
25:37
your training with a new level of focus and dedication.
25:44
See yourself pushing harder, becoming faster, stronger, more
25:49
agile. This version of you is the
25:53
hardest training player on the field.
25:59
You have the goal to out train anyone else and the results of
26:05
this hard work begin to show and soon.
26:09
Just imagine, maybe you're training, or maybe you're
26:13
playing a game and you catch the attention of scouts or coaches.
26:21
And the more attention you get, the more leverage you have.
26:26
And just travel through time until you see yourself receiving
26:31
not one, but several scholarship offers, the kind of colleges you
26:37
would love to attend. Imagine choosing one of those.
26:44
And then imagine seeing yourself in college, playing football at
26:48
an even higher level. Maybe you can imagine the
26:52
stadium, perhaps even the name of the team, the name of the
26:58
college, maybe the lights shining down, crowd cheering.
27:05
And then step into it and feel the adrenaline pumping through
27:08
your veins. Feel that all of these high
27:13
standards, intense training and fearless tackles have prepared
27:20
you well. Feel that you're playing your
27:23
best game, feeling fast, strong and fearless.
27:28
Imagine making tackle after tackle, each one more powerful
27:32
than the last. Switch perspectives back to the
27:39
field, looking up at this three-dimensional movie screen
27:43
in the sky. But now imagine that you're
27:46
watching your college highlight reel filled with the very best
27:52
moments of your college football career.
27:57
See those amazing tackles, the key plays, maybe celebrations
28:04
and victories that you've achieved.
28:08
When you see yourself in that moment of success, knowing
28:14
you've left nothing behind, you've put everything in, your
28:22
fearless attitude, your commitment and your instinctive
28:25
play LED you to this place. And as you imagine that
28:35
accomplishment and success, let's create an anchor so you
28:42
can retrieve it. So just imagine that feeling of
28:46
power, fearlessness and confidence in your chest.
28:50
Right there in the centre of your body.
28:55
Feel how strong and unstoppable you are.
28:58
And with every breath, this feeling grows stronger.
29:02
And I want you to imagine a glowing light in the centre of
29:06
your chest, something like Iron Man.
29:10
Just imagine it there, glowing, the new level of power.
29:16
Feel the glowing sensation in your chest and feel that
29:21
whenever you step onto the field, you can tap into that
29:26
strength, that fearless Dr. You can imagine that glowing light
29:31
there in your chest and when you need to make a tackle, you feel
29:37
this amplified feeling of confidence rise up inside you.
29:42
No need to hesitate, you'll move instinctively.
29:47
The idea of pain doesn't enter your mind.
29:50
You will make the play. From this moment on, you will
29:57
feel more decisive in every situation, whether it's time to
30:03
tackle. You will trust your body and
30:08
your instincts. You will be fearless in the face
30:12
of pain, knowing that it's manageable, that it's part of
30:16
the game and you're prepared for it.
30:21
You will no longer hesitate or shy away from challenges.
30:26
You will embrace them with confidence and each decision you
30:31
make will be swift, natural, and powerful.
30:38
Every time you step onto the field, you'll carry this
30:44
blueprint of you. This is the version you will
30:49
activate, the version that plays with intensity, fearlessness,
30:55
and unshakable confidence. You are ready to take on
31:00
anything that comes your way. Or you could always choose to
31:07
hesitate, to not fully commit. You have the choice.
31:16
But if it feels like you're now choosing to trust your instincts
31:25
to go all in, let me know by nodding your head.
31:29
That's in. So just imagine shrinking this
31:34
huge screen in the sky down to a dot, place it inside a cloud.
31:39
And then imagine getting up off that grass and walking back.
31:45
But you're walking back now into your own physical body, taking
31:49
all of these new feelings and resources with you.
31:53
A new standard, a new level of intensity, a new level of
32:00
aggression. You almost can't wait for the
32:06
very next tackle. It's time to return to the
32:09
present. So take a deep breath in through
32:13
your nose and out through your nose.
32:17
Just wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes as I now count
32:20
from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
32:24
Starting to count 123 Waking up 456.
32:29
More alert 7-8 Open your eyes. Open your eyes 910.
32:35
Wide awake, Wide awake. Wide awake.
