  These recordings took place live from Adam's clinic in London's

• 0:23
  hypnosis, so do not listen while driving or operating machinery.

  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 hypnosis session,
• 0:43
  you're going to be listening to hypnosis created for a younger
• 0:48
  client that was stuck in a place of inertia.
• 0:54
  They didn't really feel that passionate or have too much
• 0:59
  motivation or energy for anything.
• 1:02
  Nothing really inspired them. You could call it a state of
• 1:07
  apathy or very low motivation. And this was causing problems
• 1:13
  because they weren't doing too much.
• 1:15
  It means that certain things were impeding their progress.
• 1:19
  It was impeding their ability to move on academically and
• 1:23
  actually start making progress towards, you know, what they
• 1:27
  wanted to do, which was long term graduate and and find a
• 1:31
  career. But that wasn't happening
• 1:33
  because of their low motivation. And when people are in
• 1:37
  situations like that, they do feel conflicted themselves
• 1:41
  because a part of them thinks they should be doing more, but
• 1:43
  they're not. But they've also got external
• 1:45
  pressure from parents and family members that are frustrated.
• 1:49
  They want to shake them and say, look, just just do something.
• 1:52
  So there's lots going on, but it's difficult if you're in that
• 1:56
  state of low motivation, to suddenly find the motivation
• 2:01
  because you're comparing yourself with other people that
• 2:04
  already have momentum. So in this particular session,
• 2:08
  there is a metaphor of a child's roundabout, you know, the kind
• 2:11
  of things you see in playgrounds.
• 2:13
  And it's a very good metaphor to communicate inertia and momentum
• 2:18
  because what can feel impossible to go from static to fast feels
• 2:23
  much easier if you've got a tiny bit of motion in the right
• 2:26
  direction. Then you can build on that.
• 2:29
  And that's why it's quite a good metaphor.
• 2:31
  But there's also an element of future pacing so they can get to
• 2:33
  see what their life would be like with and without that
• 2:37
  element of more motivation. And also the idea that they
• 2:41
  don't have to be incredibly passionate and motivated about
• 2:44
  everything. It's just enough so they get to
• 2:46
  test and explore things, trusting that while they're
• 2:49
  doing that, something will capture their imagination.
• 2:52
  And then that will unleash more resources like motivation and
• 2:56
  enthusiasm. I think anyone feeling stuck in
• 3:00
  a rut? Anyone feeling apathetic?
• 3:02
  Anyone feeling in low mood will benefit from this, but it was
• 3:06
  created for an individual. Some of the suggestions aren't
• 3:08
  going to relate to you because it wasn't originally created for
• 3:11
  you. So if you do like the idea of
• 3:13
  working with me directly, there will be a link in the
• 3:16
  description where you can schedule that free consultation
• 3:18
  call. For now though, find a quiet,
• 3:20
  comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
• 3:23
  Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
• 4:12
  you breathe in, breathe in that relaxing, calm breath, and as
• 4:21
  you exhale, feel a sense of release.
• 4:27
  Any tension, any worries, anything weighing on your mind,
• 4:31
  just feel it start to leave your body in your outward breath as
• 4:38
  you breathe in that relaxation and exhale.
• 4:43
  Not tension, but any frustrations, any guilt, any
• 4:51
  blocks, just allow them to be released.
• 4:57
  And the deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you become.
• 5:02
  The more relaxed you become, the deeper you breathe.
• 5:08
  And as your body relaxes, your imagination awakens.
• 5:15
  And I wonder if you can use the power of your imagination to
• 5:22
  imagine a children's park on a sunny day.
• 5:32
  I want you to imagine you've got the whole park to yourself, no
• 5:35
  one else there. And that's surprising on a sunny
• 5:38
  day, blue skies, sunshine, just you in that park.
• 5:45
  And I want you to imagine seeing a child's roundabout.
• 5:51
  And I want you to imagine that roundabout is static in a state
• 5:57
  known as inertia. It isn't moving, and unless
• 6:04
  something happens, well then it won't move, it will just stay
• 6:10
  there. But that's not what a roundabout
• 6:14
  was built for. The roundabout was built to move
• 6:20
  in either One Direction or the other and to facilitate joy,
• 6:27
  smiles and laughter. And as you breathe in and
• 6:33
  breathe out, I want you to imagine what it would feel like
• 6:38
  to walk up to that static roundabout and try and force it
• 6:44
  in One Direction. Maybe clockwise, maybe anti
• 6:50
  clockwise. And here's the interesting
• 6:54
  thing. You can't move it in two
• 6:59
  different directions at the same time.
• 7:04
  You can force it clockwise or you can force it anti clockwise.
• 7:13
  And I think somewhere in your life a part of you wants to move
• 7:20
  the roundabout in One Direction and a different part in the
• 7:25
  opposite direction. Effort was invested to make very
• 7:34
  little progress, and maybe that other part was trying to keep
• 7:40
  you safe, avoid stress, avoid rejection, avoid problems.
• 7:48
  But there is a distinction between being safe and being
• 7:52
  stuck. And I want you to imagine that
• 7:57
  that other part has a good intention for you.
• 8:02
  But what if it can keep you safe by you becoming more resilient
• 8:14
  by experiencing stress and adversity and overcoming it
• 8:19
  again and again and again? What if your safety comes from
• 8:27
  your resourcefulness, not from inaction?
• 8:31
  And I want you to imagine that other parts of you pushing in
• 8:39
  the other direction, willing to just step back.
• 8:46
  Imagine that other part maybe on the swings or the slide.
• 8:50
  So now the same effort can move you forward.
• 8:57
  Feel the roundabout start to rotate slow at 1st and then
• 9:04
  faster. And I want you to imagine that
• 9:09
  when it gets to a certain speed, you don't need to keep pushing
• 9:13
  it all the time. Then when it reaches a certain
• 9:19
  speed and velocity, it just keeps going round.
• 9:23
  And only when it starts to slow does it need a boost from you.
• 9:32
  And I want you to imagine that for a while now, your life, your
• 9:38
  motivation, your enthusiasm has been like that static or slow
• 9:45
  roundabout. Imagine the roundabout now going
• 9:53
  around 20% of its capacity. Not stopped, but certainly not
• 10:00
  fast. Not fast enough that a child
• 10:05
  would want to sit on this roundabout.
• 10:09
  But it's certainly not stationary.
• 10:15
  And I want you to think about what it would be like, what it
• 10:24
  would be like if you had a bit more of that motivation, a tiny
• 10:37
  bit more of that enthusiasm, a willingness to try a bit more,
• 10:46
  send an e-mail, read a book, take a risk, do something.
• 10:54
  And if you can think of what that would be like to very
• 11:00
  incrementally do more, think more, be more, let me know by
• 11:09
  nodding your head. And then just imagine that
• 11:15
  roundabout getting a little bit faster.
• 11:18
  Still slow, still safe, but faster than it was before.
• 11:25
  And imagine there's a week or two of you getting to that point
• 11:30
  and feeling comfortable with that increased level of action,
• 11:35
  decisions, Enthusiasm, not passion, yet nobody would call
• 11:43
  you motivated, but comparatively more motivation than before.
• 11:51
  And then imagine a month from now, perhaps in a break, doing
• 11:59
  something that you don't need to do, have to do, and there's no
• 12:03
  consequences for not doing it, but you're doing it diligently
• 12:08
  anyway. And if you can think of
• 12:12
  something like that that you could do, that would certainly
• 12:17
  represent the roundabout getting even faster than before.
• 12:21
  Let me know by nodding your head.
• 12:26
  I don't want you to get a sense that the roundabout then now is
• 12:30
  that 4 out of 10, not slow, not fast, just medium, still very
• 12:42
  safe, not risky, not too stressful.
• 12:46
  There's just more going on. And it reminds you of how you
• 12:49
  were at school, not brimming with enthusiasm, but you did
• 12:55
  enough to get by. And if you've been in that place
• 12:59
  before, you can get to that place again.
• 13:03
  But I don't think you want to settle at that speed, that
• 13:08
  velocity, that level of enthusiasm or motivation.
• 13:14
  So I want you to think of what it would be to get it one step
• 13:18
  further than that. You're doing things you don't
• 13:24
  have to do, you don't need to do.
• 13:29
  You've just decided you want to do them.
• 13:35
  Joining a club, interacting with people, making plans, exercising
• 13:45
  more, learning something not for your course, but just because
• 13:55
  you want to learn about that thing.
• 13:58
  And if you could imagine what that would be like for you to
• 14:02
  just get it to that next level up.
• 14:06
  Let me know about nodding your head.
• 14:11
  That's it. And I want you to step into that
• 14:15
  version of you and feel how it would feel to have that level of
• 14:22
  motivation and enthusiasm. It's not one of these 9 out of
• 14:31
  1010 out of 10 motivational speaker type of energy.
• 14:37
  Just someone then is doing what they want to do, doing it
• 14:43
  diligently, living life on your terms.
• 14:50
  I want you to think of a motorway with three different
• 14:55
  lanes, the slow lane, the middle lane, and then the overtaking
• 15:04
  lane. And I want you to think that for
• 15:08
  a while you've been a slow vehicle on that slow lane, not
• 15:18
  really getting to where you want to get to because you're not
• 15:20
  sure where you want to get to. But imagine going slightly
• 15:26
  faster. So even if you're not sure where
• 15:31
  you want to get to, you can cover more ground to increase
• 15:37
  the probability of finding a place where you do want to get
• 15:41
  to. Just imagine that perhaps in the
• 15:47
  next few months, or maybe the next year or two, something pops
• 15:54
  into your head. A dream, a goal, an idea, a
• 16:02
  vision, an epiphany, an idea of you in your future that just
• 16:08
  feels compelling. A life that you would love to
• 16:12
  live. And you don't have to have that
• 16:16
  now, but just imagine it happens one day.
• 16:22
  Then you would want to go in the fast lane.
• 16:26
  You would want to spin that roundabout faster and faster.
• 16:30
  Not because you have to, but because you want to.
• 16:35
  And if your unconscious is receptive to discovering
• 16:39
  something that you can be enthusiastic and passionate
• 16:42
  about, even if you don't know what that thing is, just let me
• 16:46
  know by nodding your head. I want you to get an idea that
• 17:01
  before a decision becomes openness to a decision.
• 17:10
  You might be open to the idea of a holiday, even if you're not
• 17:13
  sure where the holiday is. You might be open to the idea of
• 17:20
  having your own car, even if you don't know what make and model
• 17:23
  you want. Having your own home or
• 17:26
  apartment, even if you don't know what city or country it's
• 17:29
  in. So if your unconscious mind is
• 17:33
  open to the possibility of finding something that you can
• 17:37
  be passionately enthusiastic about, that's it, let me know.
• 17:44
  That's it. Consider a seed being planted in
• 17:48
  fertile soil, and you increase the probability of finding that
• 17:55
  thing not by accelerating to 100 miles an hour, or spinning that
• 18:02
  roundabout to 10 out of 10, but just moving it faster than it
• 18:08
  has been. Then you cover more ground, try
• 18:12
  more things, figure out what you don't like as much as what you
• 18:16
  do like until a process of elimination or a process of
• 18:23
  inspiration leads you to that wonderful thing that you can
• 18:30
  feel the desire to do, not from expectation, obligation,
• 18:38
  pressure, or coercion, but from true desire.
• 18:45
  And then just move that roundabout slightly faster now
• 18:49
  to a six out of 10. This would be doing things that
• 18:55
  is slow and steady progress in all the areas of your life that
• 18:59
  are important to you. You're not shaking things up,
• 19:06
  but you're not slowing things down.
• 19:09
  Consider this a Safeway to steer your life into a place of more
• 19:16
  choices and possibilities. But before you get that
• 19:22
  roundabout spinning at a six, it needs to be a 5.
• 19:26
  And before A5A4 and before a 4A3, and maybe right now it's
• 19:32
  A2. All you need to do is to spin
• 19:36
  that roundabout slightly faster. And I want you to think of two
• 19:41
  or three things you can do today or tomorrow that would create
• 19:46
  more momentum in your life. Simple things, easy things, not
• 19:53
  challenging things that just create more momentum.
• 20:00
  And I want you to feel not pushed to do these things,
• 20:05
  pulled to do these things that you want to do these things.
• 20:11
  They feel easy, doable, and beneficial.
• 20:19
  That's it. I want you to leave that
• 20:26
  roundabout, see it maintaining that speed at perhaps 6 out of
• 20:31
  10. Not full speed, but not slow
• 20:34
  either. I just get a sense that that's
• 20:37
  where you're heading. And the moment you find that
• 20:41
  thing that you can be passionate about, it will naturally get to
• 20:47
  an 8-9 or A10 because you want it to, not because you have to.
• 20:53
  So hold that thought in your mind and feel like you're
• 20:57
  leaving this place in your imagination.
• 20:59
  So take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 21:04
  nose. Just wiggle your fingers, wiggle
• 21:08
  your toes, connect and calibrate into the here and the now.
• 21:11
  That's it. As I now count from 1:00 to
• 21:15
  10:00 to awaken you starting to count 123 waking up 456 more
• 21:23
  alerts 7-8 Open your eyes. Open your eyes 910 Wide awake,
• 21:29
  Wide awake. Wide awake.
