You are not here to suffer. There is no punishing force up in the heavens causing suffering. You create your own despair anytime that you behave in ways that contradict your goals of health and happiness. Fortunately, you can just as easily take kind, loving, and productive actions to ensure that you manifest love and prosperity in your life, as well as health, happiness, and fitness in your mind and body.

It’s true! You can be happy, healthy, physically fit, and prosperous. You can live the life you want in the body you desire. Once your motivation and determination are high, you will find it easy to get on track to total success.

Some people use meditation and/or prayer to help them to foster their own inner strength whenever they are undergoing a life change. There are some who follow fad diets or seek out personal trainers and coaches to keep them on track as they endeavor to lose weight. There are many, great things that you can do to foster your confidence and to strengthen your self-control.

One great, natural, and affordable way to get yourself on track to succeed at your goals is through hypnosis. Whether you are using self-hypnosis–or seeking the help of a professional hypnotist, or, if you have purchased a hypnosis audio program, hypnosis can help you immeasurably to achieve your goals.

If you have considered using hypnosis, but have been unsure if you will like how it feels, consider listening to audio samples of hypnosis programs to see if you like the way they sound. It is very likely that if you enjoy listening to a short segment of any hypnosis audio program, that you will have great results from its purchase.

If you want to overcome emotional and physical pain, the Light of Joy Within and Inner Ecstasy: The Natural Hypnosis Endorphin High help your body to manufacture endorphins and to bring your chemical and hormonal levels into balance. Either of these programs, when used regularly over a period of three to four weeks will relax you and help your mind and body to heal. Consider how great it will be when you are able to set aside physical and emotional pain and to fully enjoy your life.

If you want to try hypnosis for weight loss, A Slender, Happy & Healthy You, A Cleansing Rain Shower, and/or Hypnosis for Fun & Easy Weight Loss, will all jump start your process pleasantly and keep you on track to succeed. Each program contains very different content, so pick the one that sounds the most enjoyable to you to start with for the best results.

If you are seeking to become more successful and to achieve higher degrees of prosperity, Millionaire Mindset and Growing Rich are both poetic masterpieces with splendid soundtracks that incorporate universal principles, similar to those applied in blockbuster motion picture: The Secret. These programs are very uplifting and instill hope and confidence.

Whenever you consider purchasing any hypnosis audio programs, read the descriptions carefully and remember to look to see if there are any audio clips for you to listen to. Hypnosis works best when you truly enjoy its content. All the programs mentioned in this article are fully described and offer long enough sound clips for you to determine if you will enjoy their sound. Best of all, these programs are convenient to use, effective, and affordable. When you invest in a hypnosis audio program, you can use it for the rest of your life and you can share it with your entire family.

In addition to using prepared hypnosis audios, self-hypnosis, prayer, and meditation will all go a long way toward helping you to mightily succeed. Positive attitude and creative visualization will also greatly aid you in creating your goals.

Hypnosis helps you to keep your mind focused on your success. Whenever you imagine your success in your mind, your body goes to work to create what your mind perceives. The more time you spend planning on succeeding, the more likely you are to actually succeed. You can decide to let hypnosis make your process of succeeding deeply relaxing, satisfying, and fun.

“Be the best you are, for its the best thing to be. Let yourself go far, and emit love for all to see.”

Enjoy your ride through life! Wishing you love, Julie Griffin

By keeping your attitudes positively directed, it becomes easier to succeed. Positive thinking will help you to heal your body, to become more successful in business, to find love, to improve your relationships, and to promote and enhance your spirituality. Positive energy instantly goes to work to fuel all your endeavors, goals, and dreams.

You may be well-served by examining your thoughts, in the form of self-discovery, to see if you have been giving yourself negative messages. Consider how many of your current thoughts are holding you back or limiting your ability to create positive change or to achieve a goal. As you come to face any of your own limiting or negative thoughts, you automatically de-hypnotize yourself from such thoughts. Once you have de-hypnotized yourself, redirecting your thoughts positively becomes a much easier task.

This same process of redirecting your thoughts can be helpful in many areas of your life.When you focus enough energy on a postive thought, it goes to work like the most powerful hypnosis suggestion.

You can decide to adopt an improved mindset in every avenue you take in life. As you do so, your life becomes more rewarding, joyful, and fun. For example, if you dislike housework, you might find it more enjoyable if you play your favorite music while doing your chores. Another easy thing you can do to make your work more enjoyable is to simply open up your curtains and shades so that light pours into your home.

If you have to be in a situation with a person who is unpleasant, you can decide that the more unpleasant they behave, the happier and more loving you will become.

If you have to take a long drive, instead of being bored, you can look for the beauty in nature. Whenever you look for the beauty in nature, you will find it abundantly. It is just a matter of remembering to look. You can also remember happy times as you drive so that instead of the time seeming tedius, it becomes healing, pleasant, and joyful.

There are all kinds of ways to improve your state of mind and your enjoyment of life. Your attitude is based on your choices and your reactions to your environment. You can choose to put more pleasure in your life by having an attitude that truly serves whatever situation you find yourself in.

Today you can open all the window and shades in your life and let the light pour in. If someone tries to block your light, smile at them and say something nice realizing that your light becomes their light. 

Happiness is contagious.

Today you can choose to be very happy. There is always something to be happy about. You can focus on the positive, and as you do, energy that is shining and glowing will radiate from you like the brightest beacon.

Today you can turn all your own lights on and let a shower of gratitude sweep through and around you. It is always a choice. You can choose well, be well, and live well.

Valentine’s Day’s, long-standing commercial nature has made it hard to ignore its existence.  Anyone recovering from a break-up, divorce, or grieving the loss of a loved one, will likely be eager to cross February 14th off their calendar. Alas, instead of being a day to look forward to, Valentine’s Day can be a stinging reminder of disappointments, betrayals, unrequited love, and loneliness.

Even for those blessed with romantic love, Valentine’s Day can still be dreaded because it represents yet another stressor on one’s wallet and purse strings.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Valentine’s Day could be repackaged and retooled? Imagine how great it would be if we could turn Valentine’s Day into a true celebration of love and friendship minus all the commercialism . . .

When I think back to my childhood, I remember how hurtful Valentine’s Day could be to the majority of the children in my school. Valentine’s Day was inevitably another time for many of the popular kids to gloat as they counted up the number of Valentines they received. For any of us who were unpopular in school, Valentine’s Day was yet  another reminder that we are not on the “A” list.

Think of how great it would be if there were a new version of Valentine’s Day–a Valentine’s Day that men, women, and children of all ages could enjoy equally–no matter what their relationship status, popularity among peers, and/or their bank balance. Wouldn’t it be lovely if a new Valentine’s Day could be born that celebrates not only romantic love, but also loving kindness and unconditional love?

It is my hope in posting this blog entry that it serves to cause each of us to do more than just commiserate on the down sides of Valentine’s Day.

What if this little blog post had the power to really make a difference in this one day of the year. What might happen if each person who reads this blog offers a comment or two on how to truly improve Valentine’s Day?

And what if each of us circulated this blog and its resulting comments to the people to whom we like, love, and share space? We could send ideas for an improved Valentine’s Day far and wide.

We could share ideas with grade school teachers, librarians, folks who run soup kitchens, activity directors at retirement homes, and others to help all people to feel more love–not just those who are already showered with affection.

Wouldn’t it be great if this little blog could open up a dialogue on the true meanings of love and friendship? What if each person who is forwarded this blog adds their own brilliant comments in the form of ideas that will make Valentine’s Day kinder, more gentle, and that is true to all the meanings of the word love?

And what if each of us decides to take action to make Valentine’s Day more kind and loving?

Please help to improve Valentine’s Day by adding your own comments and ideas to this blog post. So that our ideas and comments count, please forward this blog and its comments to anyone you believe would enjoy being a part of making Valentine’s Day more loving and kind.

With enough people power and good thoughts and ideas, I believe that we can work together to create a new, improved Valentine’s Day that will be a blessing to both the loved and the lonely of the world.

To get the ball rolling, I will now offer three simple ideas that can be easily implemented to spread love and happiness on Valentine’s Day.

1. Send a Valentine email to anyone you know who is struggling emotionally, physically, or spiritually and let them know that you are thinking about them. Emails are a free and easy way to communicate with people who need love and attention.

2. Perform a random act of kindness for someone in need. We have all heard of random acts of kindness–but sadly, too few of them occur. A random act of kindness can be any simple gesture that in any way helps another being. It can be something as simple as carrying someone’s groceries who is struggling, or shoveling the snow off your neighbor’s porch.

3. Don’t forget to love yourself. Make a list of your own qualities, and let your own goodness and talents surface and be experienced by others. Give yourself the gift of your own love.

For many, a lack of self-love has left a hole inside their spirit that no amount of food or designer clothes can ever fill. No matter what you have done in the past, and no matter what condition you are currently in, you can decide to engage in self-loving thoughts and actions. You can place yourself in charge of your own tender, loving care.

Fortunately, you don’t need to go to the supermarket or a mall to stock up on self-love. Self-love is not found on Aisle 3; it can’t be located in frozen foods; it is not hanging in the fanciest designer clothing shops.

Self-love is not the result of a manicure or a new hairdo. Self-love is inside you and it only awaits your call to surface. Self-love can hear you calling each time you behave kindly to yourself. Self-love is fed by your caring actions.

Your self-love only grows and blossoms when you allow it.

When you love and accept yourself wonderful things occur. You begin to believe in your own abilities. As you believe in your own abilities you become successful. With each small success you gain the needed confidence to move into bigger and brighter realms.

A wonderful upward spiral occurs when you love and accept yourself. It almost feels like you are being lifted out of negativity and cradled in kindness. When you love yourself, it becomes easier to make important changes in your life and mindset; it becomes easier to succeed in all the ways that mean the most.

Hypnosis can help you to begin a process of self-love that is so empowering that it places you on course to your own health, happiness, and physical fitness. Starting right now you can gift yourself with your own love. With each passing day, you can let the light of your own love shine so brightly that you can clearly see what actions to take to become fit in body, mind, and spirit.

Commercial hypnosis audio programs are widely available that you can use to foster self-esteem, to draw love and prosperity into your life, and to enhance your own magnetism and charisma.

If depression or emotionally trying events from the past have dimmed your happiness or negatively impacted your view of your own worth, hypnosis audio programs, like: the Light of Joy Within, Increased Magnetism & Personal Charisma; and Hypnosis for Drawing Love & Prosperity, will all go to work to prompt emotional healing and serve to fortify your self-love, confidence, and self-esteem.

Since there is a wide variety of hypnosis audios available on-line, shop wisely. Some websites offer detailed product descriptions and include an audio sample of each available topic. It is important to make sure that you like the sound quality of any program that you are considering purchasing because hypnosis works best with repeated use.

If you prefer, you can practice self-hypnosis to enhance your own confidence, self-esteem, and self-love. Self-hypnosis is easy and effective. There are many different methods you can use to hypnotize yourself, but to simplify the process you need only do the following to get started:

1. Sit or lie down in a relaxed position;

2. Close your eyes;

3. Take five-to-ten long, slow, deep breaths as you imagine your mind becoming clear and your body relaxing fully;

4. Take five more deep breaths as you feel your body relax deeper and deeper;

5. Focus on your own qualities and strengths;

6. Let yourself access helpful memories of your past successes;

7. Fill your mind with positive intentions as you become mindful of your important goals;

8. Spend some time imagining your success as if it has already occurred;

9. Take a precious moment to experience genuine gratitude; and,

10. When you are ready, take one-to-three clearing, refreshing breaths, open your eyes, and return from self-hypnosis alert, clear, and revitalized.

You will find that using these simple steps will immediately help you to fortify your psyche and to experience enhanced self-love. Often, the folks who get the most out of hypnosis are using a combination of professionally-prepared hypnosis sessions and audios and practicing self-hypnosis.

Whether you choose to practice self-hypnosis, or, to use a professionally-prepared hypnosis audio, or, to see a hypnotist for a private session, you can expect great results. As a result of your hypnosis practice, you will immediately find that as you love yourself, it becomes easier for you to consistently engage in actions that enable you to succeed at all your goals. Self-loving behavior enables you to sleep soundly at night and to awaken feeling confident and proud.

Self-love works like a natural eraser to false hunger. It acts upon the body more favorably than any anti-depressant. Self-love erases brain fog. It helps you to think clearly, and to act in line with your own highest good.

Like music and the beauty of nature, self-love is calorie free nourishment for your body, mind, and spirit. Self-love is a kind of food that is easy to pack; that you can take to work with you; that you can share with your family and friends; and that you can serve up throughout your life.

Self-love is the great healer. It purifies and fortifies your body, mind, and spirit. It makes you stronger and softer. Self-love is magnetic: when you love yourself, you draw other self-loving people into your life.

Self-love fosters extraordinary self-transformation. Let your own self-love be an endless bubbling spring that flows through you and leads you in all the right directions. Let your own self-love go to work to heal your body, mind, and spirit.

Hypnosis is a relaxing, affordable, and effective means to access and enhance your own self-love. The purchase of the right self-hypnosis audio will be an affordable investment that you use, benefit from, and enjoy forever!

As you visit or imagine a natural scene, physical relaxation immediately results. The longer time spent in nature, or in imagining yourself in nature, the more stress you release from your mind and body, and the more deeply relaxed you become. As your mind and body relax, it is easier for your heart to function. Relaxation also improves the function of all your organs and your entire digestive track. Relaxation helps your immune system, respiratory system, central and sympathetic nervous systems, and all other systems of your body to come into balance and to ideally function.

If you are the type of person who participates in an ongoing love affair with nature, you have already discovered that you feel great when you are immersed in the beauty of the “Great Outdoors.” If you don’t regularly commune with nature, this article is designed to encourage you to take advantage of nature’s ability to relax, heal, and empower you.

If you enjoy self-hypnosis and guided meditation, the following steps will help you get the most out of any time that you spend in nature. You can add your own thoughts and imagery to these steps, to make the process more personally meaningful.

12 Steps to Help You to Relax, Heal & Commune With Nature

1. Stop for a couple of minutes (or longer) each day to get in touch with the beauty of nature.
2. Allow the beauty of nature to flow through your body and mind like it is an energy in the air that you breathe.
3. Notice how quickly and effectively you can relax each part of your body.
4. Let your breathing work together with nature’s light, colors, and sounds to heal, empower, and enlighten your being.
5. Allow your mind to become harmonious, and let feelings of peace sweep through you.
6. Imagine that you can see, feel, and hear nature’s healing elements moving pleasurably through your mind and body.
7. Let the pleasing and relaxing elements of nature elevate your mindset–helping you to achieve clarity of thought, and to move you closer to enlightenment.
8. Spend a few moments “locked” inside the ecstasy of being fully aligned with, and attuned to, nature.
9. Let your “higher mind” reveal your helpful truths, as you continue to drink in nature’s healing energies.
10. Allow rapturous feelings, if desired, to ebb and flow inside you, so as to enhance your vitality and magnetism.
11. If you so choose, spend some sacred time communing with your higher self and higher power.
12. Let feelings of gratefulness and appreciation sweep through you as you prepare to conclude your session.

Once your session is over, purposefully take some clearing breaths so that you fully return from the self-hypnotic/meditative state. Generally, two or three deep, revitalizing breaths, combined with the action of opening your eyes, will signal your mind to return you to full conscious awareness.

Communing with nature, not only releases stress from your mind and body, it also enhances your creativity, spirituality, and vitality. On days where it is impossible for you to go outside, remember that your body and mind achieve almost as much benefit from imagining nature as from actually being out in nature. The above steps work great even when you are using your imagination.

Let nature be your well-visited friend.

Do you prevent yourself from complimenting others, just because they are strangers? Have you ever not entered a competition because you feared you would lose? Have you stifled your own passion over concern you’d be rejected? Did you ever stop yourself from writing a book or composing a song because you did not know if it would be published? Have you failed to express your love towards others because a so-called “self-help” book told you not to say, “I love you.” too soon, or because you feared your love might scare someone away?

How often, and in how many ways, do you fail to live and breathe your passion? Perhaps, more importantly, what can you do to free yourself up to live in a way that totally honors your goals, dreams, and aspirations? If you could, would you choose to make a fundamental switch in your thought processes that enables you to live and breathe your passion?

At times we have all actively engaged in standing in our own way. For irrational reasons, we have talked ourselves out of doing great things, and talked ourselves into accepting mediocre circumstances that fall short of our goals, dreams, and highest good. Each of us have different reasons for engaging in self-sabotaging behavior. Any reason or rationale that we come up with for doing something that is detrimental to our goals or the fulfillment of our highest good, is called a justification.

Recently, I went to church with a dear friend of mine. The Interim Pastor: Jamie Moynihan, was discussing the word justification, and her clever take on it was that the word justification could be replaced with the words: “Just as if I had not sinned.” I believe Pastor Jamie was primarily speaking of sins against God, but I could not help acknowledging that we all use justifications to explain why we engage in behaviors, thoughts, and actions that are like small, unintentional sins against our selves.

Think of how wonderful it would be if we were all able to think, act, and behave in ways that require no justification. Perhaps the word “sin” is too heavy in its context in this article. Maybe it is more apropros for you to consider what the word justification means with these phrases in mind:

“Just as if I had not failed myself.”
“Just as if I had let myself succeed.”
“Just as if I had not lied to myself.”
“Just as if I had given myself more love.”
“Just as if I had been more kind.”
“Just as if I had expressed my true emotions.”
“Just as if I had given myself more encouragement.”
“Just as if I had believed in myself enough.”
“Just as if I had let myself say the word ‘love’ every time I felt it.”

I could easily go on and on with the “just as if” phrases in an attempt to come up with a phrase that would suit any situation or thought process. I expect that you came up with a few of your own “Just as ifs” that, hopefully, helped you to understand what stops you from taking actions to better yourself–what stops you from living and breathing your passion.

The intention in sharing this article is not to make you feel bad about times in the past that you made less than perfect decisions. The intention of this article is to offer you an opportunity to engage in self-discovery that will helpfully enable you to live and breathe your passion.

It is never too late to start honoring yourself by living more authentically–by honoring your abilities and gifts–by doing, thinking, and saying the things that will elevate your social status, your personal relationships, and most importantly, by enhancing the relationship that you have with yourself.

It might be helpful, to realize that:

Love never has to be justified.
Happiness and joy require no justification.
Doing good work that benefits yourself and humanity never has to be justified.

The more good decisions you make, and the more positive actions you engage in, the less time you will spend in justifying your decisions to yourself or to others. You can talk yourself into self-fulfilling thoughts, deeds, and actions. You can give yourself permission to thrive. You can put your talents to work to make the world a better place. You can dare to dream and you can fulfill your dreams.

Something to ponder: what is really scarier: living your passion–or failing to live your passion?

In making important choices in life, you can ask yourself: “What can I do that is best for me and that simultaneously serves all those in my midst?”

You may be surprised to find that anytime you take action to serve your own highest good, that the highest good of everyone around you, and the highest good of humanity, is automatically served. You can keep it simple in your mind and heart: do what makes you happy for the long haul so that the long haul feels like a short, pleasant jaunt through time and space.

Hypnosis works through the power of your subconscious mind. Since your subconscious mind controls the physical functions of your body, once you enter into the relaxed state of hypnosis, suggestions for your healing will readily go to work to redirect the functions of your body to combat illness so that you can heal and reclaim your good health.

Because of the strong connection between your mind and body, each time a positive suggestion or image is presented to your subconscious while you are hypnotized, your body automatically goes to work to generate helpful changes in your physiology. Repetitious use of hypnosis CDs or MP3s helps your mind and body to adopt ideal responses–free of negative side effects, from the safety and comfort of your own home.

Some people choose to seek out a highly qualified medical hypnotist for private hypnotherapy sessions. In a private session, a hypnotist is able to address a wide variety of factors that may contribute to illness that are specific to the individual client. For those who can afford a private hypnotherapy session, they will benefit most by finding a medical hypnotist who will provide you with a reinforcement CD or MP3 so that they continue to reinforce the positive hypnosis suggestions long after your session(s) concludes. Not all hypnotists automatically provide reinforcement audios. In my opinion, the results you will get when you are able to use a reinforcement audio, will far exceed results without a reinforcement audio.

Many people enjoy the very affordable option of purchasing hypnosis CDs/MP3s that have been produced to treat specific diseases, pain issues, or conditions. Programs are also available for topics like depression, pre- and post-surgical hypnosis, and fertility enhancement (to name just a few). These condition-specific audios are highly effective and affordable provided that they are produced by a hypnotherapist who is an expert in medical hypnotherapy. It is wise to read the bio of any hypnotist before deciding to purchase a program. If you are still unclear as to the credentials of the person selling the products you seek, don’t hesitate to send an email, or to pick up the telephone to ask specific questions that will help you to know that you are making a good choice.

Over the last decade, scores of clinical trials and diagnostic tools like electroencephalographs (EEGs) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET Scans) have proven that the state of hypnosis exists, and also that the human brain responds to hypnosis suggestions in the same way that it responds to real events. Now that there are so many ways to prove that hypnosis works, more and more hospitals are recommending its use to patients–and some offer hypnotherapy services alongside traditional medical treatments and services. Insurance companies are now, in some cases, reimbursing clients for hypnotherapy-related products and services. You can call your insurance provider to see if they are among the insurance companies that are reinbursing for hypnotherapy and products.

Even if your insurance company does not reimburse for hypnotherapy-related services, when you consider how affordable hypnosis CDs and MP3s are, you will likely see that for less than what you would pay in gas and parking fees to visit your physician, you can purchase an MP3 or CD that is designed to help you to combat and overcome specific medical conditions. Once you own a hypnosis audio, you can use it forever. Dollar for dollar it is one of the best values around for helping you to take control of your health and healing.

Even without a hypnotist, and without purchasing a CD or MP3, you can easily practice self-hypnosis. Just be seated, close your eyes, and take one-to-five long, slow, deep breaths to place yourself in the hypnotic state. Once you have entered into a light or medium level of hypnosis, you can imagine that your body is safely and peacefully overcoming any problematic condition or disease. You can also imagine that all parts of your body are healing and optimally functioning. You can imagine yourself completely healed, happy, successful, energized, and prosperous before you exit hypnosis.

To exit hypnosis (which simply means to conclude your self-hypnosis session) you can take one-to-five energizing breaths with the intention that those breaths will revitalize and energize you so that you become alert and clear. Finally, just open your eyes knowing that the combination of the energizing breaths, and the act of opening your eyes, will bring you out of hypnosis so that you can resume your other activities.

Whether you are seeing a hypnotist, hypnotizing yourself, or using an MP3 or CD, remember that you can also use hypnosis to relax and empower yourself as well as to prevent illness. The more you use hypnosis, the more you will reap its power, the more you will gain control of your health, and the better you will become at self-hypnosis.

Why do so many resolutions fail? There could be many reasons, but often resolutions are made in haste with little or no physical, emotional, or spiritual preparation. People often make resolutions without any real commitment to the words behind them. Perhaps, unconsciously, we believe that the dropping of the ball on New Year’s eve possesses enough magic to make all our resolutions come true.

A failed resolution is like an empty promise–like an opportunity missed–like a vow broken. If you have entered into 2010 having proclaimed one or more resolutions, you may benefit from asking yourself these questions:

1. Does the resolution I made realistically have a chance of succeeding?
2. Do I need to make any changes in my life, mind, or emotions that will help me to fulfill my resolution(s)?
3. Did I make the resolution through my own choice–or did someone talk me into it?
4. Do I sincerely want to succeed in fulfilling my resolutions?
5. Am I putting real effort into making my resolutions stick?

If you truly want your resolutions to last, reconfirm them in your mind (approximately once a day) and take positive action toward their fulfillment repeatedly, until they come to fruition.

You may also find it helpful to study what the word resolution means. To that end, I looked it up in the dictionary and I also ran the word “resolution” through my computer’s thesaurus. According to the thesaurus, the word resolution is interchangeable with any of the following words: vow; affirmation; promise; commitment; intention; pray; aim; resolve; declaration; plan; and pledge.

As I read the list of synonyms for resolution, a deeper understanding of the word emerged from my mind. It occurred to me that when we become aware that the word resolution embodies all the meanings that follow, we will put more effort into making our resolutions stick. Sonoyms for Resolutions: affirmation; promise; commitment; intention; pray; aim; resolve; declaration; plan; and pledge.

If you have made New Year’s Resolutions this year, consider the power that the words capitalized below–which are all sonoymous with the word resolution–have when used as part of an affirmations:

• I VOW to manifest remarkable, lasting change.
• Through PRAYER, I empower myself to change magnificently.
• I COMMIT myself to create stunning change.
• I PLEDGE all that I am to gifting myself the power to change.
• Through my INTENTIONS and productive actions, I fulfill my resolutions.

Whenever you view the word RESOLUTION as seriously as you view its synonyms, it becomes easier to achieve your resolutions. View resolutions as your own set of vows, affirmations, pledges, and commitments. When you read your resolutions to yourself daily–just as you would an affirmation or mantra–they are powerfully accepted by your subconscious mind. The affect becomes hypnotic

When you repeat your resolutions to yourself while your mind is relaxed, you enter into a powerful state of hypnosis. You may know that: HYPNOSIS + RESOLUTIONS = SUCCESS.

Whenever you are focusing on growing rich, it is wise to consider what products or services you can provide to humanity that will create win-win environments for you and your customers. Whenever you can come up with a product or service that is either totally unique–or that far exceeds the quality or effectiveness of anything offered by your competitors, you will be positioning yourself for success and prosperity.

Even when time is in short supply, the time you spend brainstorming will help you to create better plans. When you fortify the time you spend brainstorming by entering into self-hypnosis, you will be able to access your creativity and enter a zone that allows you to conceptualize products that will truly stand out in your field–products that produce that “extra something” that makes customers track you down and purchase every item that you offer.

It may not be true for every entrepreneur,  but I genuinely love my own work and I use my own programs to help me to succeed. I have found that the more I love a product that I have created, the easier it is for me to generate enthusiasm toward it, and the more it sells. Whenever you create a new product, you will benefit by asking yourself this question: “Do I like this product enough to buy it myself?”

One of the hypnosis audios that I have created in recent years, is an exciting and poetic hypnosis program for prosperity called: Growing Rich. As a gift from me to you, I am sharing some of my favorite hypnosis suggestions and affirmations from my Growing Rich program. If you want to receive great benefits from these affirmations, you can recite them to yourself daily for about 21 to 30 days. Many believe that affirmations work best either right before you go to sleep at night, or when you first awaken in the morning. I believe that affirmations and self-hypnosis work great at anytime of day. You can experiment to determine which time(s) of day seem to provide you with the most benefit.

No matter what kind of work you do, or what you want to accomplish in life, hypnosis programs and affirmations help you to set the stage for your own success. You can read these affirmations to yourself daily for a few weeks–or you can record them in your own voice on your computer, IPOD, or any other handy recording device.

I helpfully know when to take action, when to pause, and when to stop and move in a different direction.

My brain ideally theorizes and strategizes the pros and cons of deals, circumstances, and events.

My internal sensors and brilliant mind enable me to prosper, to become rich, and to achieve lasting wealth.

I leverage any situation to my own advantage.

I find ways for all parties to my transactions to be pleased with the results.

I create win-win situations for everyone.

In dealing with me: everyone wins; everyone prospers; and everyone gets what they need.

Money is generated as a result of my skillful planning, my well-timed actions, and my strategic interactions.

People like and trust me because I am likable and trustworthy.

I am good to my word.

 I stand tall. I smile broadly. My eyes shine. Light emanates from me.

I am magnetic, charismatic, and charming. 

I am vivacious and clever.

I am warm, caring, and kind.

I leave every room and situation better off from my presence.

I bring forth ideas, concepts, notions, and products of great worth.

My work is a labor of love.

There is wind in the sails of my soul as I journey toward success and limitless prosperity.
