Incantations
The words that you speak have the power to invoke images, sounds, and feelings inside of anyone within earshot. It’s important that you are cognitive of the words you use and teach your clients to do the same.
What You Want Is Only a Bounce Away
When you want to make a change or improve something about yourself, focus on the basics.
Awkward Silence
Somehow, awkward silence has gotten a bad rap over the years. Humans fear awkward silence when on a date, in the boardroom, at social events, and most other interactions with other humans.
Journaling
Journaling has become an essential part of my life. It helps me get focused in the morning and allows me to relax at night by getting what has happened during the day out of my mind and into my journal. This is a great stress reliever. Things just seem more manageable when you write them down.
The One Degree Rule
You’ll discover how easy it is to make a small change that has a significant impact on your life.
What’s Your Mission and Why?
A personal mission statement should guide the decisions you make, the beliefs you hold, who you spend your time with, how you behave in private and in public, how you view the world, how you navigate life, et cetera.
The Power of Focus
One way to manage your emotions is to control and direct the focus of your mind.
Brief Therapy
Brief therapy applies to any therapy in which time is a consideration. There is no rule that states brief therapy can only be “X" hours otherwise it’s just regular therapy (whatever that means).
Pattern Interrupted
Recently, I have heard many experts touting the benefits of forming routines. Having the routine of making your bed can be a great way to add structure to your mornings and give you a sense of control and accomplishment to start your day, and it’s nice to pull down the sheets and crawl into bed at the end of the day. Routines can help you stay organized, be more productive, and relieve stress. Breaking a routine, however, can be even more important.
Can You Make Someone Do Something Against Their Will?
This is the most common question that I get asked by far, and I thought I should answer it before you read further. It is not always phrased as “Can you make someone do something against their will?”.
Failure Is Not an Option
What holds many humans back from achieving what they want is a fear of failure or failing to reach their outcome on the first attempt and giving up.
If this sounds like you, let’s talk about that.

I Was a Different Person Then
Every day, I learn something that changes my beliefs, values, and the direction of my life. Much of the time, it’s a very small change… such as when I learned to juggle; and sometimes it’s profound… like the time I learned that I was going to be a father. Every experience that I have makes me a different human.

The Real Secret of Hypnosis
When humans discover that I’m a hypnotist, I usually get asked one of two questions.
Is hypnosis real?
Does hypnosis exist?
My typical answer is… “All communication is hypnosis and there’s no such thing as hypnosis.”
Confused? Good, because that’s what I’m going for with that answer.
How to Reduce Your Stress and Anxiety
Experiencing stress and anxiety means you’re alive, and that’s a great thing. It’s your body’s built-in alarm system to warn you of potential threats, allowing you to evaluate and respond to them in appropriate ways. As a matter of fact, this heightened state of readiness (aka... stress and anxiety) can help you perform better and be more creative.
It’s when you use your imagination in self-defeating ways, like imagining things going wrong for you or your loved ones, that stress and anxiety become a problem.
What Gets Rid of Anxiety?
The key is training your mind to live in the present instead of the future and to focus on the things you can control and let go of the things you can’t control.
