We often pretend that words don’t hurt us. Maybe when we were kids, they did, but now we’re adults — words may sting but we can get over them eventually.
While we do learn how to manage negativity as we grow older, we often forget that the biggest voice of negativity can come from within ourselves. It’s not the bullies pushing us down on the playground, it’s ourselves pushing ourselves down.
The thoughts we think about ourselves impact our behavior, our actions, and ultimately our lives. If we think negative thoughts about ourselves — “I’ll never find love, I’ll never be successful in life, etc.” — then we set ourselves up for a self-fulling prophecy of a disappointing life.
The truth is, we all have these negative thoughts from time to time. It’s just part of being human! The good news is that with the right training and the right therapy, we can rewire our brains to think positively!
It’s amazing what can happen when we change the tape we replay in our heads! With positive energy, we attract positive people, experiences, and opportunities. Changing your way of thinking can be hard, but it isn’t impossible.
Today on The School of Greatness, I have hypnotherapist Marisa Peer to teach us how!
Marisa Peer was listed in Tatler’s Guide to Britain’s 250 Best Practitioners and was the only woman on the Men’s Health’s list “Best of British.” She has spent 25+ years working with an extensive client list, including royalty, rock stars, actors, professionals, Olympic athletes, CEOs, and media personalities. She has developed her own style that is frequently referred to as “life-changing.”
Marisa also studied hypnotherapy at the Hypnotism Training Institute of Los Angeles, known as the best hypnotherapy training establishment in the world. She developed her own brand of treatment, Rapid Transformational Therapy, which is a combination of hypnosis, neuro-linguistic programming, and cognitive behavioral therapy. By guiding her patients into a state of relaxation and hypnosis, Marisa Peer is better able to find the root of psychological distress and provide suggestions in order to heal that distress.
Marisa Peer also started the radical #iamenough movement. By just saying those three words repeatedly — “I am enough” — you can change your brain’s thought patterns and come to a place of self-love.
Marisa is the bestselling author of several books, including I Am Enough: Mark Your Mirror and Change Your Life, and makes frequent appearances on TV and radio. She’s helped thousands of people overcome a variety of issues, and is motivated to train others to do the same. Marisa Peer joined me on The School of Greatness back on Episode 695, and it definitely has been one of my most popular episodes to date! I was honored to have Marisa Peer return and speak again about the power of positivity in achieving our goals.
Our thoughts have power over us. But we can have power over our thoughts.
Join me on Episode 949 to learn how we can replace negative wiring with positive energy and achieve the things we dream of with the wonderful Marisa Peer!
