I have the money I need to survive and I dont blame others for my problems. Nobody says Im successful though since Im not as well off personally or professionally as them. Success for me, and many others I suspect, is literally impressing people and getting their validation.

So well said! And this is exactly what I'm trying to instill in my kids now, not to only focus on one passion, but to allow all their passions to come through and see where life takes them. Thank you for the comment.

Absolutely! Well said.

Thank you!

All these folks struggling to climb while dragging around all this stuff behind them.

Want some real motivation, cut the rope holding all the stones....will make reaching those goals a little easier.

If the baggage is that important you can pick it back up of the ground after you reach your goals...those rocks ain't going anywhere, but you also don't need to carry them around with you everywhere you go and in everything you do.

Cut the cord and relax a bit.

Made me a bit sad to see “people” as a weight pulling someone down.

I think people can help lift you up if you find good people and trust them to.

yes i agree..i started selling jewelry it didnt do well, now i sell imitation jewelry..my local busines is booming now!

Sounds good - yes please it sounds interesting to me, happy for a DM if that works

According to Yoda, no.

No worries - there are a number of threads - they can happen in parallel rather than in series:

The work I do is rooted in Solution Focused Brief Therapy: while the influence of the past is fully acknowledged the focus is on using the present to build the client's chosen future. It's quite common to work with clients who have been so wrapped up in what they think is the problem (it often isn't) that they have lost sight of there being solutions and / or a way forward. Switching the focus can be revelatory.

Session time is split between a solution focused conversation and a guided hypnosis session. These parts re-enforce each other. The key benefits of hypnosis session include (1) a reduction in general anxiety levels (which makes it easier to to think in terms of solutions rather than problems) (2) identifying and implementing desired outcomes and (3) it develops the client's abilities with self-hypnosis so they can enjoy the benefits for as long as they choose.

Alot of what can weigh us down is emotional baggage from the past: the feelings, images and thoughts which serve no benefits to us now. One of the hypnosis sessions I have developed give the client the space to let go of any such baggage they are ready to let go of. This is often quite an emotional experience: clients have described it variously as 'it feels like I'm ten tonnes lighter', 'I'm free', 'wow - that was intense'. I tend do this session once I've worked with a client a few times - so they are ready for it. As with almost all of the sessions I do, I give the clients an MP3 version of the hypnosis session so they can repeat the process as many times as they wish: a basic ethos is that the client is the expert of their inner experience.

​

I have a comprehensive case study of my work with a client that I can pass on to anyone to learn more about the above: just get in touch and I'll send it on.

Hitler probably felt the same.

Like, these institutions are in place for a reason. If literally everyone and every fiber of your being is telling you not to do something, maybe listen.

Chop more down get more coconuts. Build a high viewpiint with all the trees ... problem solved and aquired many coconuts with "dream" stickers

Absolutely! So many times we're told to pick just one thing, when instead we could be exploring multiple passions that can fit together in creative, unexpected ways. I believe that by broadening our perspectives and embracing all that life has to offer, we can unlock our potential and find real satisfaction in all areas of our lives.

No - my intelligence is imperfect rather than artificial.

Best wishes with getting your Karma into double figures.

First thing that came to my mind

If I slap you in the face with a fish, you would enjoy trying to get me to stop just as much as when the welts heal? Really?

Trying 75 Hard!!! On day 5. If you don’t know it, look up the podcast by Andy Frisella! It’s motivating.

Ah I see where you’re coming from and where there might be a misunderstanding. Yes, in a literal sense, the first step in doing anything is trying.

But what I believe your therapist is trying to convey is that you should go into anything you do with a “I’ll DO it and succeed” mentality. It’s the difference between literally trying and “trying”.

💯

May I recommend spite? The single most powerful motivating force I've ever had plentiful amounts of.

I would.like to add a shout-out to those that are trying to relax! Sometimes we work so hard on self improvement and get stuck there that we might forget to stop and smell the roses
