The human mind has an amazing capacity to dream.  We dream in many different ways.
I think we all remember times when we were at school, sitting in the class room staring into space, our minds day dreaming about playing football or fixated upon that cute boy who lives down the street.  At night times we [...]

January is a time of year which is associated with new beginnings; it’s a time to start over, set goals and plan for the year ahead.  New Year’s resolutions are set by many, yet adhered to by few. Are you one of the exceptions to this rule?  Or have you already waved good-bye to your [...]

I had an interesting experience yesterday when I settled myself down to write in detail about my goals for the year.  I had five or six things which I had decided were really important to me; important enough to me to create a hypnosis recording for myself to use to ensure that I fully focused [...]

I don’t know about you but I seem to come across a lot of people who feel as if they are missing out on something or other in their life.  Perhaps they are dissatisfied because they have missed out on a promotion at work, or because the current economic climate makes it seemingly impossible to [...]

When you pause and reflect on the past decade as you look ahead to a new one, it makes you appreciate how short life is, how valuable time is and how quickly the time can pass you by – with nothing to show for it, if you don’t plan otherwise.
That’s why the passing of another [...]

Both dreams and nightmares tend to be intense in terms of their visual, auditory and emotional impact.  Nightmares however tend to have the most impact.  They feel in every way extremely real, and you tend to awaken from a nightmare with a real jolt, sometimes aware of your own screams or sweating profusely.  Your average [...]

Most people these days have seen a stage hypnosis show; you have seen people cluck like chickens, or be convinced that they are a super star or that they are walking on the moon. You have seen people suddenly forget their name, or confuse their shoe for a dog.  You have seen people have needles [...]

There are many steps to success in life, be it in business success, financial success or relationship success.  One factor which is at the heart of success is that of perseverance.  Most people think of success in terms of their business or acquisition of wealth, although ultimately most will agree that the one thing which [...]

What would your life be like if you did not have the ability to create fantasies?  What if Obama never allowed himself to imagine what it might be like to be President? Or if Bolt couldn’t imagine beating a world record?  Or if Tiger never dreamt of shooting consecutive (significantly) sub-par rounds in major tournaments? 
Whatever [...]

We humans are blessed with an amazingly adaptive mind and body and this enables us to mould ourselves to fit many different circumstances and also to achieve many new and wonderful things.  Just think about our instinct to pick up any language which we are exposed to, or to learn an enormous range of skills, [...]

When one wishes to solve a problem it is very easy to get tied up in the nuts and bolts of the problem itself and in this way miss out on seeing the overall picture.  To solve a problem easily it is important to take a step back and thus begin to look at what [...]

I was walking through the airport today and caught a glimpse of a great advert which showed a picture of Tiger shielding his eyes from a dazzling sun as he peered down the fairway.  The caption I think related to the difficulty of making a plan of action if you couldn’t see what lay ahead; [...]

Sometimes the “how to” of doing things can blur you vision and get in your way.  “You cannot see the wood for the trees” is a saying which sums up this phenomenon quite nicely.  If you want to achieve something it is more important to make a commitment to achieving that end result than to [...]

The human mind is motivated by the things which you imagine as well as by things which are real.  In fact perhaps everything which goes on in our minds is in fact imagined; after all what is registered by your mind is in fact your interpretation of sensory input.  You see and hear, feel and [...]

The method of SMART goals has been the basis for sound goal setting for a long time. It is one of the best used tools by high achievers to reach their goals realistically and consistently, giving them enough room to adjust for unforeseen circumstances.
Know that SMART is an acronym for the following acrostic:
Be Specific. Make [...]
