What Gets Rid of Anxiety?
I have received a lot of messages lately asking what gets rid of anxiety.

Can You Hypnotize Yourself?
First, let me answer Caroline’s question… Yes, you can hypnotize yourself.
With that said, I believe the test that lets you know when hypnosis is self-hypnosis is this question…

If your answer is “yes”, then it is not self-hypnosis.

This process that your mind goes through when changing emotional states is hypnosis.
I know… Mind Blown!
Give Them “The Look”
Have you ever gotten “the look” from someone... say a parent... and you knew that they meant business? You felt that certain feeling rush through your body, and you did not really have control over it.
How to Be an Intelligent Human
You are not going to change someone’s mind via social media. If we could, then we would no longer have humans who believe that Earth is flat. What does need to happen is the education of humans in the areas of confirmation bias, proper research, cognitive dissonance, Occam’s Razor, and how adopting new beliefs is better than sticking to beliefs that have been disproven or had no basis in fact to begin with.

The Moment Between Stimulus and Response
Jumping on social media has always been like walking into the worst bar you can imagine. Humans are screaming at each other, name-calling, complaining, attempting to convince followers of this week’s conspiracy theory, and just being detestable. As of late, it is only getting worse. The boldness that humans have developed online is now spilling over into real life. (“IRL” for the humans who know the lingo.)
Unconscious Questions
Embedded questions allow you to give a command within a question… even though it is not a question!
Unconscious Conversations
The art of communicating with precision and purpose, and the results appear magical.
Indirect elicitation is the skill of getting a desired response from your conversation partner without their conscious awareness.

It Takes a Pandemic
To be authentic means being ourselves, not a projection of how we think or have been told we should be. It’s about being congruent.
To Boldly Go Where Most Do Not
If my life were a Star Trek spin-off, the opening sequence would include “To Boldly Go Where Most Do Not”. (Boldly being the keyword in that line.)
Most of the social challenges humans have can be corrected by simply learning the art of being bold.
Not Everyone Is Going to Like You
You like them. You may have other reasons like “chemistry” or “common interests” or “great conversation”, but none of these reasons matter if you do not like them. Regardless of the way you build attraction and create rapport with someone, the glue that holds everything together, in the beginning, is “like”.
