• 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 very, very short
• 0:44
  hypnosis session, you're going to be listening to a hypnosis
• 0:48
  that was created for a client. That.
• 0:51
  Was doom scrolling, spending too much time on social media,
• 0:55
  getting caught by the algorithm that would give them lots of
• 0:59
  very, very appealing content based on their tastes and kind
• 1:03
  of snare them into this trance like state where they would
• 1:06
  spend more time than they wanted on their phone at the expense of
• 1:11
  doing other things and what they actually wanted.
• 1:14
  And that's the reason why this hypnosis is so short, is they
• 1:17
  wanted something 10 minutes or less that they could quickly
• 1:21
  listen to, to help. Them break.
• 1:23
  That pattern. So there's two parts to this.
• 1:26
  There's this hypnosis, and then there's actually what we did in
• 1:29
  the session, and that is explore what's called pattern
• 1:32
  interrupts. Pattern interrupts are things
• 1:35
  designed to break a pattern that would normally be happening
• 1:40
  unconscious. Most habits are automatic, so
• 1:43
  there's a few things going on here. 1 is to link the use.
• 1:47
  Of. Social media.
• 1:50
  That is unproductive. As a cost that if you had to pay
• 1:54
  to go on TikTok, had to pay to go on Instagram, let's say. 1.
• 1:58
  Pounds, 2 lbs two dollars a minute.
• 2:01
  Would you, You know, if you had to pay like a subscription or
• 2:04
  you got a bill every month, you probably wouldn't do it.
• 2:07
  Most people wouldn't. And that's because they make
• 2:09
  their money from the advertising, not from your use.
• 2:12
  But if your time is worth, let's say you know. £100 A $100.00 AN.
• 2:17
  Hour then in real terms, by giving your time to the social
• 2:21
  media platforms, it is costing you that.
• 2:24
  As an opportunity cost. So we use that as leverage.
• 2:28
  There is a, a patent interrupt of well, it's very easy.
• 2:32
  Most people when they're on their phone, they're sitting,
• 2:34
  they're quite comfortable. But if you had to go outside
• 2:37
  standing on one leg to doom scroll, would you?
• 2:40
  Probably not. So there's a ridiculous element
• 2:43
  of patent interrupt and then there's something called
• 2:45
  dovetailing outcomes, which is if you do something that would
• 2:48
  normally be unproductive time, but you link it to something
• 2:51
  that would actually enrich your life.
• 2:52
  In this case, we used the example of cardio exercise.
• 2:55
  Then actually it could be beneficial because most people
• 2:58
  when they're doom scrolling are going into a trance state where
• 3:03
  you get time distortion and you've probably had the
• 3:05
  experience of going on social media and you think it's been
• 3:07
  two or three minutes, but it was been 20 minutes.
• 3:10
  Imagine if you were doing cardio exercise for that 20 minutes.
• 3:14
  Suddenly you. Become healthier.
• 3:16
  And happier. And have more energy.
• 3:18
  And you? Get to use because most cardio
• 3:20
  is boring, but if you're doing something that distracts you,
• 3:24
  you lose track of what you're doing anyway.
• 3:26
  Me personally, I like when I'm doing cardio in the gym to watch
• 3:31
  ATV show. I've been watching lots of Black
• 3:33
  Mirror. Recently so you.
• 3:34
  Can spend an hour watching a good TV show while doing cardio
• 3:38
  without realizing that you've done an hour of cardio because
• 3:41
  you're immersed in the TV show. So there's little hacks that can
• 3:44
  make these things useful to turn unproductive time into
• 3:48
  beneficial time. I think you'll benefit from this
• 3:51
  if you feel that you're spending too much screen time on things
• 3:55
  that aren't useful either for your quality of life.
• 4:00
  Or. Are productive in some way.
• 4:03
  A lot of people do use their phone for work.
• 4:06
  I'm talking about the doom scrolling that the time wasting
• 4:09
  on your phone. That's what we want to break the
• 4:11
  pattern. So think about that as you're
• 4:13
  listening to this session. It's only about 10 minutes, but
• 4:16
  it might be helpful for you to start breaking patterns and give
• 4:19
  you more time to do the things that.
• 4:21
  You would. Actually want to do with that
• 4:23
  time. Obviously it was created for an
• 4:25
  individual. If you do like the idea of
• 4:27
  working with me, check out the link in the show notes to book a
• 4:29
  free consultation call. But for now, find a quiet,
• 4:33
  comfortable place that you won't be disturbed.
• 4:36
  Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in and on the
• 4:57
  outward breath. Close your eyes and as you
• 5:01
  breathe in, breathe in relaxation and as you exhale
• 5:08
  feel tension leaving your body in your outward breath and just
• 5:14
  notice the deeper. You breathe.
• 5:17
  The more relaxed you feel, and the more relaxed you feel, the
• 5:22
  deeper you breathe. And as your body relaxes, your
• 5:27
  imagination awakens. And just allow yourself to go to
• 5:35
  that place where change happens quickly, where your mind becomes
• 5:41
  open and receptive to new ways of thinking, ways in which old
• 5:49
  habits can be broken and new habits can be created.
• 5:56
  I want you to imagine a fireman's pole.
• 6:00
  Imagine the top being your conscious and the bottom where
• 6:05
  you land being your subconscious.
• 6:08
  And just imagine what it would feel like to slide down that
• 6:12
  fireman's pole into your subconscious mind.
• 6:18
  And there, allow yourself to feel even deeper relaxed as you
• 6:27
  think about things differently. I want you to think about how
• 6:33
  much it would cost for someone to hire you for one hour of your
• 6:40
  time. And let's say a number pops into
• 6:46
  your head. I want you to calculate what a
• 6:50
  minute of your time is worth and when you have that number and
• 6:57
  you know that. It is.
• 6:58
  True. Let me know about nodding your
• 7:00
  head and therefore your time is that value.
• 7:09
  That value will increase over time.
• 7:14
  I don't want you to get a sense that time is one of those finite
• 7:20
  resources, time that you've spent you can never get back.
• 7:28
  And if someone could buy an hour of your time, then your time is
• 7:33
  that value. And I want you to get a sense of
• 7:40
  when you're using social media, when you're doomed, scrolling on
• 7:45
  things that give you that temporary feeling of humor or
• 7:51
  dopamine. I want you to start to think
• 7:56
  that you're paying for that with your time.
• 8:01
  And I want you to imagine whatever platforms or apps you
• 8:07
  use the most, just imagine if tomorrow they were.
• 8:12
  No longer free. They had a subscription model,
• 8:17
  and that subscription model is whatever a minute of your time
• 8:22
  is per minute. To use them intuitively, I want
• 8:30
  you to really get a sense of would you continue to use those
• 8:36
  applications if that's how much it cost to use them?
• 8:43
  Scan your body for where you feel that.
• 8:47
  And if it is the case that you wouldn't pay to use them, then
• 8:53
  it means that it's not worth your time to continue using
• 8:59
  them. I want you to think about using
• 9:05
  something you've used a lot. Just imagine coins or banknotes
• 9:11
  piling up that value for every minute you use and I want you to
• 9:17
  imagine. If you've.
• 9:20
  Used 10 minutes, it's cost that much and I want you to think
• 9:25
  about what you would have to do with that amount of money to
• 9:31
  rewire your subconscious mind to feel it isn't worth it.
• 9:41
  Maybe that's throwing the money away or burning the money or
• 9:45
  giving it to a 'cause that you really don't believe in, to
• 9:49
  shake up your nervous system so that you intuitively come to the
• 9:55
  conclusion, the conclusion that you intuitively know already it
• 10:02
  just isn't worth it. And I want you to imagine that
• 10:07
  happening now, spending 10 minutes in a particular location
• 10:16
  and feeling not intellectually but emotionally, that it's cost
• 10:22
  you that amount. And when it feels it just isn't
• 10:29
  worth it. Let me know by nodding your
• 10:30
  head. And I want you to allow yourself
• 10:38
  to continue to use your phone in this way, but under 2
• 10:44
  circumstances. One in a circumstance where it's
• 10:50
  impractical, inconvenient, perhaps even ridiculous.
• 10:57
  I want you to imagine what it would be like to doom scroll on
• 11:01
  your phone while standing like a Flamingo in your garden on one
• 11:07
  leg, perhaps outside on a cold or rainy day.
• 11:14
  I don't need to think that maybe you would spend two or three
• 11:19
  minutes at most until your mind comes to the conclusion that
• 11:25
  this isn't worth it. Or perhaps you utilize a
• 11:33
  different context that if cardio exercise was a pill or a potion,
• 11:41
  it would be the most powerful medication that has ever existed
• 11:47
  on the planet. Some people have said that 20 or
• 11:53
  30 minutes of cardio exercise a day reduces the probability of
• 12:01
  thousands of different lifestyle diseases.
• 12:06
  I want you to give yourself permission to doom scroll while
• 12:11
  you're doing cardio, knowing that your mind will go into that
• 12:16
  trance state that you'll do 30 minutes of exercise without
• 12:21
  realizing it's been 30 minutes. While your focus is on those
• 12:26
  videos or that content, your body is still getting all the
• 12:31
  benefits of that exercise. Doom scrolling or unproductive
• 12:39
  phone time is now either a waste of money, inconvenient and
• 12:46
  ridiculous, or making you healthier and more vital and
• 12:54
  energized than ever before. All of which either break the
• 12:59
  pattern or have it working for you rather than against you.
• 13:06
  And you don't need to pick which one, just know that any of them
• 13:13
  or a combination of them are possible.
• 13:16
  And when you feel that your unconscious is willing to abide
• 13:24
  by these new boundaries, conditions to break.
• 13:29
  You free. Of an algorithmic slave master.
• 13:36
  Just let me know about nodding your head and then imagine
• 13:41
  you've now got the strength to climb up that fireman's pole to
• 13:47
  go from your subconscious to. Your conscious.
• 13:50
  And at the point where you climb the very top of the pole, you're
• 13:54
  no longer at the top of the pole, but back in your physical
• 13:57
  body. Listening to my voice right now.
• 14:00
  So take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 14:04
  nose. Wiggle your fingers and wiggle
• 14:06
  your toes as I count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you starting
• 14:12
  to count. 1/2. Three waking up 456 More alert
• 14:17
  7-8 Open your eyes. Open your eyes. 910 Wide awake,
• 14:22
