The Self Hypnosis Resource Podcast: Recent Episodes
Garth Dawson
a blog about personal change using self hypnosis and how it can help with making and sustaining change in your life
In this edition we talk about the effort and time required to change to occur or even to be visible. It is one of the challenges of what we are faced with in life about making personal change, and even though you may have started on the journey, the change we are seeking don't occur overnight. It is a gradual process
In this episode I talk about how forming new habits are both the foundation of the Greatest Salesman, as well as life. That the more we focus on embedding a new habit, the stronger the neural connections in the brain that represent that habit, the more it will become part of our life
We start out with a goal in mind but get distracted, how do we keep on going to reach our destination? IN this episode I talk about some of the tricks I use to keep on the journey
We become what we think about the most. It took me a little while and many times of reading this to fully understand what this meant. How much time do we spend thinking about other things other that what we want?
Repetition is one of the keys to mastering skills and life. It is also key in making and sustaining change in ones life. Repeating the change we desire, the thinking and behaviours of the new us.
The thing is, repetition also holds us where we are as well.

f you knew that you held your future in your hands, right now, today, what would you do differently? What would you change in your life?

Many teachers over the centuries have told us that our thinking defines our lives. To change our lives requires us to change our thinking. The first precept of Huna – Ike, states that the World is what you think it is.

One of the biggest challenges of personal change is, it doesn’t happen fast enough! Has it happened yet?

So, it has now been a couple of months since I finished my 300 Day Challenge - reading each of the ten scrolls in The Greatest Salesman in the World, 3 times a day for 10 days each....

In my last post I talked about Every Child should be taught to expect Success.And how labels are applied to some of us as we are growing up.

Limiting beliefs hold us back. A bold statement to kick off this post.
In my last post I talked about: “I Am that which I think I AM.” This post follows on from that and those eight words. Our limiting beliefs form the “I Am” that is our current existence. Another way of writing this is

'll repeat that again: "I Am that which I think I Am!"
You may have seen this written another way: "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he."
Either way, have you stopped to really take the import of these words in? I was reading a book by Henry Harrison Brown where he quotes this line. These are profound words. Why?

The Scroll Marked X is the final scroll of the Greatest Salesman book. This scroll sums up the previous 9 scrolls and is written as a prayer for guidance
In yesterdays podcast I talked about choosing better words to describe yourself and what you do. Today I give an example from my own life about feeling low and lethargic. Of choosing to think better thoughts and feel better feelings.
In a previous post I talked about how the sub-conscious is always listening to what we say to ourselves (and to others). Words have power!!
We use different words in the different environments we live in each day.

A lot of us try to Have by Doing the activities we identify as needing to be done to get the goal. Isn’t it a logical to start at A and progress through B, then C then D etc to get to our goal.
The challenge is that who we are and how we think will invariably get in the way of a logical progression and in many cases, stop us from achieving our goal

The other night, when I couldn’t get to sleep, I listened to Earl Nightingale’s “The Strangest Secret”. In the recording, he reminds us that what many of the great philosophers all agreed on, is that “We become what we think about the most.”
Interesting that I listen to this at the same time that I am reading “The Greatest Salesman in the World”! This episode is also available as a blog post: https://selfhypnosisresource.wordpress.com/2021/09/27/we-become-what-we-think-about-most-of-the-time/
IN this episode I talk about we are where we are through the experiences we have been through and the judgements we have made about them and ultimately what we believe is true for us and our lives. Where we are today is also a factor of what we feed our minds with.

I have now reached the penultimate scroll of the ten scrolls. Scroll IX – I will act now.
I find it interesting after my last post about We become what we think about and that we also become what we repeatedly do, that this is this scroll theme. I chuckled to myself a little when I started reading it.

Scroll VIII reminds us that we have the power to choose what becomes of us. That man’s mind has created many wonderful things. If that is so, can we not also influence and create something better out ourselves.
In this scroll, Og Mandino compares us with a grain of wheat

Really? Is that really true that my past thinking influences my present that much?
The other day I had a good example of the truth of this statement. I was working on on a project that required a number of actions being completed on a spreadsheet then the detail being entered into a computer system.

I am now more than 180 days into my 300 Day Challenge. The scroll I am about to finish studying is about laughing. Laughing out ourselves and at the world. Of bringing a smile to where we are, no matter what.

Scroll VI is about mastering ones emotions. I find this passage interesting in a number of different ways.
This episode is also available as a blog post: https://selfhypnosisresource.wordpress.com/2021/07/22/how-changing-our-actions-control-our-thoughts/
Scroll VI is about mastering our emotions. One of the elements of this scroll is that our moods (our weather) have an impact on those around us, that we are mostly unaware of.

Have you ever said to yourself that you hate selling?
Years ago, a friend of mine, who was selling for the company we were both working for, said to me that we are all sales people, it’s just that we don’t know it!

“Don’t wait until you feel positive to move forward. Act your way into feeling good. That’s the only way to start thinking more positively about yourself.”
I can vouch for the truth of this statement. Waiting only burns time and little else.

Many of us have mental habits that are negative and unsupportive in helping us to achieve in life. How do you develop new supportive habits?
Use self-hypnosis to help develop new mental habits to replace those that are negative or unsupportive. Review the new habits daily – morning & night to create and strengthen the new neural pathways.

As I am reading the Scroll Marked IV, themed Today I will Master My emotions I picked up another book “Concentration – The Road to Success”by Henry Harrison Brown.
In it is a paragraph that reflects my thoughts from an earlier post, but says it so much better! This 300 Day Challenge is about cultivating the right mental habits. ” I wish most in these first pages to emphasize the fact that it is a mental habit you are to cultivate

To get the get the changes we want in our life, we must first change the image in our minds. Bring our desired changes to life in our minds with strong images and feelings.
These images start creating changes in the structure of the brain.

That's right - your sub-conscious is listening to your self talk. Or to put it another way, what you say to yourself.
We all talk to ourselves. It may be that little voice in our heads that says either we can or we can't, or a conversation that we have with ourselves on some topic.
The thing is, we are unaware that what we say to ourselves is also programming our sub-conscious. This is especially true when we apply a lot of emotion to that talk.

h my 300 Day Challenge. Reading the scrolls in "The Greatest Salesman in the World" three times a day for 30 days.
Looking back over the past 150 days, I can honestly say that staying true to the first scroll, of reading each scroll 3 times a day for 30 days, hasn't been easy. I have have been inconsistent in my reading. This has been, in the most part, life and its busyness. Another reason has been not sticking to a schedule or routine.

Episode 9 of the 300 Day Challenge.
In this episode I talk about the power of repetition and that we pick up new ideas and insights the more we read or go over a text.

Well I am up to The Scroll Marked V and day 22 of reading this scroll. The scroll is titled: "I will live this day as if it is my last".
I don't know what it is, but over the last few days I have struggled to find the time to read this scroll

In this episode, I reflect on what it means to rehearse success. To build the habit and feeling of success by repeating and remembering actions that worked for us.
