Greetings Dear Ones,

If you are procrastinating, you may be afraid.  In my work as a hypnotherapist I specialize in working with fears and phobias.

There are over 530 different kinds of fears...

When it comes to creating a successful private practice the realization soon occurs:

"I have all the information I need.  I know what to do, and yet I am not doing it."

For the past 6 years, since the inception of the Acupreneur, I found the one single factor that gums up the works is fear.  But fear of what?

Many simply say fear of failure, fear of success...but that is only the beginning - the real story must be told.

It is not fear of failure or success that stops us...no, it is the stories we tell ourselves over and over again about failure or success that inhibits us to take action.

So what is the remedy?

Well, many will tell you that affirmations and many new age thought processes will help you overcome this obstacle.

The cognitive therapists believe all you need to do is replace a negative thought with a positive one.

Dr. Daniel G. Amen, M.D. speaks about ANTS or A.N.T.S. (automatic negative thoughts).

ANTS come from a specific source and that is your sub or unconscious mind.  Often, dealing with these negative thoughts is like trying to swat at wasps.  One wasp down and another soon follows.  So how do you impact the source, the nest, if you will?

This is where consistent mindfulness and challenge is absolutely necessary.  By engaging in this kind of mindfulness you can absolutely change your programming over time.

This works best with those of us who are aware of our thoughts.  But many of us are not and can only tell in hindsight that something must be getting in the way.  For those it is much harder to utilize the above method.

What about a shortcut?  One of the most powerful ways of dealing with this challenge is to go directly to the nest through hypnosis.

In hypnosis we have the ability to use what psychologists call "one trial learning."  This allows a skilled hypnotist to bypass the critical area of mind and deal directly with the source of those pesky automatic negative thoughts.

Recently a phone client I was working with called about this very issue and as a result of a single session was free.  Her problem had been her fear of greater responsibility, which is a consequence of growing success.  She was afraid that she would be inadequate to the ever-increasing demands of a successful practice and that the whole thing would go up in smoke.

In our first phone meeting we were able to clarify her fear and fears and, through the use of audio immersion, she was able to proceed confidently into her work.

How can this be?  Well, the only 2 fears we are born with is the fear of falling and the fear of loud noises.  All the rest are learned and whatever can be learned can also be un-learned!

So...don't let fear stop you from succeeding...take action and rid yourself of it!

To your success,
