Hypnosis for Creators - Feel Confident, Credible, and Comfortable on Camera · The Hypnotist

• 0:06
  Welcome to The Hypnotist, the show that gives you inside
• 0:09
  access to cutting edge hypnosis with real clients facing genuine
• 0:13
  issues. Brought to you by the
• 0:15
  Hypnotherapist, demanded by celebrities, CEOs and even
• 0:19
  royalty Adam Cox. These recordings took place live
• 0:23
  from Evan Smith in London's world famous Harley Street.
• 0:29
  So get yourself comfortable and enjoy today's episode of The
• 0:33
  Hypnotist. A lot of people now want to
• 0:42
  build a personal brand or they want to kind of grow a business
• 0:47
  and use things like social media or YouTube or podcast as a way
• 0:52
  of. Doing that and.
• 0:54
  Right now I'm kind of doing that.
• 0:56
  Here I am on a microphone, on a camera, sharing myself and my
• 1:01
  work, and it does help my business to do that.
• 1:05
  I could be equally as good as a hypnotherapist and not share my
• 1:11
  approaches and my hypnosis with people and I would struggle to
• 1:14
  get clients in the same way that I don't really struggle to get
• 1:17
  clients because I'm happy to share my work.
• 1:21
  So being on. Camera and presenting is a
• 1:23
  useful skill now for me. I felt a lot of impostor
• 1:28
  syndrome when I first launched my podcast.
• 1:31
  For the first four years, you wouldn't have seen me on camera,
• 1:34
  you would have just heard my voice.
• 1:36
  But it is beneficial to be on camera being perceived to be an
• 1:40
  expert or knowledgeable or credible on a particular topic.
• 1:45
  And the client I worked with here, they wanted that.
• 1:48
  They wanted to build a personal brand and then link it to a new
• 1:52
  agency that they were founding. And that agency was related to
• 1:56
  social media marketing and media buying.
• 1:59
  They wanted to be an expert on that, but then also funnel the
• 2:03
  leads and inquiries into their business.
• 2:05
  And it's a very good. Strategy there is.
• 2:08
  Someone I'm connected to on social media, a guy called
• 2:11
  Daniel Priestley, and he believes that that is a an
• 2:13
  ultimate model. You build a personal brand
• 2:15
  yourself and then link it to a high performing business model.
• 2:20
  So therefore, lots of people can benefit from this kind of
• 2:22
  structure, but only if you get to a point where you feel
• 2:25
  comfortable on camera, comfortable sharing your
• 2:28
  message. And that's what this hypnosis
• 2:30
  session is designed to do. Now, the paradox is how do you
• 2:34
  get comfortable doing something that you've never done before
• 2:37
  that might feel daunting. And the way to get around that
• 2:40
  is to know that you don't have to feel comfortable when you
• 2:43
  start. You can improve as you go along.
• 2:47
  Now, whether it's recording audio or short form video for
• 2:51
  like TikTok or Instagram or long form for YouTube, the key thing
• 2:54
  is that the 100th video or audio that you do is going to be a lot
• 2:58
  better than your first. So the key thing is to get going
• 3:02
  and get started and then improve as you go along.
• 3:06
  And that means actually feeling intentional.
• 3:09
  Focused and. I'm a big believer of separating
• 3:13
  when you record from when you publish.
• 3:15
  Because if you. Publish straight away.
• 3:18
  That can feel daunting, like you're going to be judged on the
• 3:20
  very thing that you've talked about.
• 3:22
  If you do all of your recordings and then publish later, they
• 3:25
  they separate the cause and effect and you can still
• 3:27
  evaluate the videos and the content that you create later,
• 3:31
  but it's good to kind of separate cause and effect or
• 3:35
  process over outcome. So this is done, this session is
• 3:39
  done for a client to help them feel that they're about to leave
• 3:44
  their job, set up their new agency and they wanted to feel
• 3:47
  comfortable presenting and expressing their message.
• 3:50
  So if you can connect or resonate with those kind of
• 3:53
  themes, you might get some value from this session.
• 3:56
  Equally, it was created for an individual.
• 3:58
  Some of the suggestions might not be right for you.
• 3:59
  So if you like the idea of a personal session built around
• 4:04
  feeling comfortable on camera, there will be a link in the
• 4:06
  description where you can schedule a free consultation
• 4:08
  call with me. For now though, I want you to
• 4:11
  find a quiet, comfortable place, the kind of place that you're
• 4:13
  not going to be distracted or disturbed.
• 4:16
  Relax and just enjoy the session.
• 4:30
  Take a deep breath in, and as you breathe in, breathe in a
• 4:41
  wonderful feeling of confidence and relaxation, a fusion of
• 4:48
  resources. And as you exhale, just allow
• 4:55
  any doubts, any fears, any worries to feel like they're
• 5:04
  leaving your body in your outward breath.
• 5:13
  That's it. Position your body in a way
• 5:15
  where relaxation becomes inevitable.
• 5:21
  That's it. And scan your body for any clues
• 5:26
  of tension that you might not have noticed in your forehead,
• 5:30
  eyelids, jaw, an neck, or shoulders.
• 5:35
  And just imagine. Every inward breath gives you
• 5:39
  more relaxation, and every outward breath feels like a
• 5:44
  release. That's it.
• 5:48
  And it's natural to have concerns, to think of possible
• 5:56
  risks too help mitigate them. But I want you to feel that
• 6:06
  worrying doesn't solve a risk. Preparation does.
• 6:12
  Decisiveness does. Learning and decision making.
• 6:20
  That all helps as you release those worries, feel you're
• 6:26
  breathing in whatever resources are the ones exactly necessary
• 6:33
  for you to feel empowered. You're not expecting an easy
• 6:42
  journey. You wouldn't even want an easy
• 6:47
  journey. What you truly desire is to have
• 6:53
  the resources, cope and manage and even thrive on a difficult
• 7:00
  journey. And as you breathe in and
• 7:04
  breathe out, I want you to imagine that that difficult
• 7:08
  journey that you've been preparing for truly starts when
• 7:16
  you do something that is a vote of confidence in yourself.
• 7:27
  The early pioneers and explorers could have talked about sailing
• 7:34
  over an ocean to explore new lands.
• 7:38
  The true vote of confidence is when they set sail evidence that
• 7:45
  they had the courage of their conviction.
• 7:50
  And maybe with you, it starts with an e-mail or a letter that
• 7:55
  says I can do this myself. And when you hand that message,
• 8:07
  that is irrefutable evidence that your subconscious mind
• 8:12
  believes that to be true. I want you to imagine seeing
• 8:18
  yourself, not apologetically, not sheepishly, confidently
• 8:31
  doing what is necessary to set sail on your journey, knowing
• 8:39
  that there will be storms, there will be choppy waters.
• 8:46
  You know there will be, but your trust in your ability to manage
• 8:55
  those things when they come up and not before.
• 9:02
  Just notice the rhythm of your breathing in and out.
• 9:07
  Feel your body relaxing with each and every outward breath as
• 9:15
  you start to feel that there are moments in life where 1 chapter
• 9:20
  ends and another begins, and I want you to feel that you are
• 9:29
  reaching the end of 1 chapter and about to start the new.
• 9:38
  So as your eyes relax and your awareness drifts inward, begin
• 9:44
  to notice that sense of transition, that subtle space
• 9:50
  between what you've been and what you're becoming, and feel
• 9:58
  that that space is safe as you relax even deeper now.
• 10:03
  And what if confidence doesn't come from knowing everything, it
• 10:12
  comes from knowing enough and being willing to share it?
• 10:21
  I want you to imagine a planet far off in a different Galaxy
• 10:31
  where everyone on that planet is blind except for one person that
• 10:39
  has one eye. And as you imagine that planet,
• 10:45
  imagine the advantage. I want you to get a sense that
• 10:53
  in the Kingdom of the blind, the one eyed man is king.
• 10:59
  And that one eyed person doesn't need to apologize for their
• 11:05
  ability to see what others can't.
• 11:12
  And that one eyed king doesn't need to know everything.
• 11:16
  And they don't need to be perfect.
• 11:20
  They can simply describe what they see clearly, calmly and
• 11:24
  honestly and feel your body relaxing as that lands.
• 11:34
  But you don't need to know everything.
• 11:38
  But compared to many, you can see and understand what is
• 11:44
  invisible to them, and feel that any pressure to be an expert
• 11:53
  begins to dissolve. Instead, imagine yourself as
• 12:00
  being useful. You have useful insights,
• 12:05
  knowledge, perspectives that some people could benefit from.
• 12:13
  Feel that that sense of usefulness replaces perfection
• 12:20
  as a new feeling starts to emerge.
• 12:25
  Comfort. I want you to imagine over the
• 12:31
  next few days and weeks you decide to embark on a quest of
• 12:40
  creating 10 videos about topics and themes that you know about
• 12:49
  and other people may not know. And I want you to imagine
• 12:58
  initially, just pressing record on that camera could feel cringy
• 13:06
  or daunting, and that's natural. It's natural to feel
• 13:13
  uncomfortable when you leave the comfort zone.
• 13:18
  The goal here is not to imagine that you already can feel
• 13:23
  comfortable. It's to be willing to feel
• 13:27
  uncomfortable until you feel comfortable doing things that
• 13:32
  used to be uncomfortable. And just imagine how comfortable
• 13:40
  you would feel not on your first video, but on your 10th or 50th
• 13:49
  or 77th video. If you'd already done 76
• 13:55
  previous videos, it would be difficult to feel uncomfortable
• 14:01
  on the 77th and you get a sense that you just haven't done what
• 14:10
  you want to do enough yet. So imagine whether it's sooner
• 14:19
  or later. That feeling of being on camera
• 14:25
  is not about being judged, it's about being present.
• 14:31
  See yourself speaking as if explaining something to one
• 14:36
  curious person, one human interested in that thing that
• 14:43
  you have to talk about. And the moment your attention
• 14:49
  shifts from how you look to what you're giving and saying, any
• 14:57
  cringe begins to lose its grip. And some people believe that
• 15:03
  cringe is just the nervous system's name for growth, doing
• 15:11
  something outside of the comfort zone.
• 15:16
  And when you see it for what it really is, it becomes exciting.
• 15:26
  And I want your imagination to imagine stepping into a private
• 15:31
  creative space, no audience yet, nothing's going live and no
• 15:40
  pressure to publish. I want you to imagine seeing
• 15:44
  yourself in a state of play. And imagine in that space you
• 15:54
  create 10 videos, not to impress and not to perform, but to
• 16:04
  explore, to experiment, to get better.
• 16:14
  And with each recording, something subtle happens.
• 16:21
  Your voice steadies, your thoughts organize, your presence
• 16:30
  deepens. What if repetition builds
• 16:36
  identity and identity builds confidence?
• 16:45
  And I want you to imagine that playful, imaginative part of you
• 16:49
  from your childhood starts to wake up.
• 16:55
  The part that learned through curiosity, through imagination,
• 17:03
  through trying things just to see what happens.
• 17:09
  And maybe that in a child understands something useful and
• 17:13
  powerful for you, that learning is fun when it isn't tethered to
• 17:22
  approval. When you're just creating for
• 17:27
  you, not caring what people may think, that playful energy
• 17:32
  returns. Creation stops feeling heavy and
• 17:39
  starts feeling like a fun game. Each level seems to be surpassed
• 17:52
  when each video is completed, and each time you notice an
• 17:57
  improvement, it becomes a win and your nervous system begins
• 18:05
  to associate visibility with pride, progress and momentum.
• 18:17
  And I don't know if it will be days or weeks or months, but
• 18:22
  sometime soon you will experience a realization.
• 18:29
  I'm actually good at this. Not because you forced it.
• 18:35
  Because you allowed yourself to grow into it and now allow your
• 18:45
  mind to drift forward as you start to imagine a future
• 18:50
  version of you. Calm, grounded, recognized.
• 18:59
  Imagine that time in the future where you have become a genuine
• 19:04
  personal brand, a clear voice in your niche, the owner and a
• 19:13
  leader of a thriving agency. And when you think of that
• 19:20
  version of you, notice how you stand, how you speak, how
• 19:28
  natural it feels. And then imagine a year or two
• 19:35
  from now scrolling on your phone and seeing one of your videos
• 19:42
  the way that someone else would see them.
• 19:47
  Wow, this person's really knowledgeable.
• 19:50
  I never thought about that before.
• 19:54
  We could do something like this. By taking that other
• 20:00
  perspective, you see that you can educate, inspire, inform, be
• 20:09
  useful. That future version of you
• 20:14
  remembers this moment not as fear, but as the very moment you
• 20:21
  chose creation over comfort. And if you chose comfort over
• 20:30
  creation, that future version of you would never exist.
• 20:37
  So consider any discomfort in the short term as a gift to your
• 20:43
  future self. That future self in that
• 20:48
  thriving agency, endless new prospects, clients and leads
• 20:55
  flowing towards you because you became a thought leader and
• 21:05
  people feel comfortable working with people that know their
• 21:09
  stuff. And that future version of you
• 21:15
  is grateful that you didn't wait to feel ready.
• 21:21
  Because readiness isn't a prerequisite for leadership.
• 21:25
  Taking action is. So now, every time you press
• 21:31
  record, your unconscious mind remembers.
• 21:37
  You are not pretending, you're not faking it, you're not
• 21:41
  posturing. You are expanding your comfort
• 21:46
  zone. You are being useful.
• 21:50
  At each time it gets easier and easier and more natural and more
• 21:56
  enjoyable until feeling, feeling seen is less like exposure and
• 22:06
  more like expression. Three months, six months from
• 22:12
  now, an idea will pop into your head for a great video and
• 22:17
  you'll just grab a camera or a phone and hit record.
• 22:22
  Stream it live, no editing, no nothing.
• 22:29
  And that will be evidence of just how far you've come.
• 22:34
  You expressed yourself because you saw something that other
• 22:38
  people hadn't seen yet, and you're allowed to enjoy becoming
• 22:45
  who you're becoming. I want you to connect with an
• 22:52
  identity. No longer an employee and no
• 22:59
  desire to be a freelancer. You are a founder.
• 23:07
  Founders take the risk, Founders have the vision, founders learn
• 23:14
  as they go along, and founders build.
• 23:20
  And if your unconscious is willing to connect to that
• 23:26
  identity of being a founder, let me know if I'm nodding your
• 23:31
  head. That's it.
• 23:37
  Any other identity is a compromise and you are now
• 23:43
  uncompromising. You are the founder, and anyone
• 23:49
  else that doesn't believe that unleashes a new level of fuel
• 23:55
  within you to prove them wrong, but more importantly, prove
• 24:00
  yourself right. And as you allow these votes of
• 24:08
  confidence, new identities and vision of a future where you're
• 24:12
  growing and evolving take root in your subconscious mind.
• 24:16
  It's time to return. So take a deep breath in through
• 24:20
  your nose and out through your nose.
• 24:25
  Wiggle your fingers, wiggle your toes.
• 24:28
  Connect and calibrate into the here and the now as I now count
• 24:33
  from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
• 24:37
  Starting to count 123 waking up 456 more alert 7-8.
• 24:45
  Open your eyes. Open your eyes 910.
• 24:47
