From the changes we made to his subconscious beliefs AND emotional reactions, it opened up more of his potential.

He had more confidence and deep down self-belief which allowed him to have some great ideas, some insight, some inner knowing which lead to accurate decisions and actions.

So, there was no magic here. Well the change stuff is sort of magic in a way, BUT… you don’t have to be a psychologist, you don’t have to be smart – you don’t have to be anything.

As long as you are human you can change your old stuff and make your life better.

Basically, I cleared his specific blocks that were stopping him moving forward.

Now when I say blocks, what are they in reality ?

They are:

Stress based emotional responses that are not allowing him to move forward because they shut off the higher thinking centres.

And

The underlying beliefs that create the perceptions in the first place that create those stress reactions in the body.

We had to integrate new empowering beliefs so that his perceptions about himself, his investing, his portfolio, his career etc are open for new growth, are positive, are optimistic, are about seeing opportunity and importantly at the level of physiology they keep the stress response off ! This allowed him to think clearly, and bring all his skills, knowledge and experience into the moment for wise actions and decisions.

Without taking the action and making it happen; it’s not going to happen.

But before his coaching he wasn’t doing that.

And then…

Between session two and session three, he doubled his income and we’re talking about some decent sized income here !

He’s doubled his income between session two and session three because he was thinking differently, he was making different decisions, he felt different, he had different self-belief.

These are the things that matter !

These are the things that are the controlling factors to you living in Survive mode rather than Thrive mode !

So yes, it’s magic in one way; but it’s not magical thinking or mythical thinking.

And it’s interesting because earlier this week I had another client and one of the things she actually said was;

“I just thought that if I cleared out my blocks and I upgraded my beliefs that money would just come to me – that clients would just come to me.”

And she even said;

“Is that magical thinking Chris?” I said “Yes, it is magical – mythical thinking.”

We have to get away from magical thinking. Magical thinking is mythical, its imaginary.

Yes, you’ve got a lot of power, yes, your mind and consciousness has impact on the physical world, yes – but without taking action, you’re not going to magically get money flying through your door like some of these charlatan law attraction teachers will tell you.

I don’t actually know anybody that’s done that. Do you actually know anybody that’s just got money keep coming to them from the universe for no reason whilst they do nothing?

You have to stop magical thinking if you want to make more money.

Of course, you’ve got to get your mindset right, you’ve got to change your self-belief.

At the end of the day it is about your belief, if you break it down and you’re totally honest with yourself, making money and improving your life, achieving your goals, everything… it’s always deep down about your belief.

Do you believe it you can create your life the way you want it or not?

Do you believe you’re worthy? That you’re good enough? That you’re smart enough? Do you believe it deep down?

Do you believe these?

“It’s safe for me to make more money.” Do you feel that as a yes?

“I deserve to make more money.” Do you feel that as a yes?

“It’s natural for me to make more money.” Do you feel that as a yes?

“Money brings me opportunity.” Do you believe that as in yes?

Some charlatans who teach the so called; Law of Attraction, say things like; think about it, intend it, wish it, be open to receive it and let the universe sort the how out.

I think letting the universe sort the ‘How’ is Total Crap.

Let the universe sort the how out means you’ve got no more money and you don’t have any more money coming in, because you think the universe is going to look after you, hold you around the shoulder, give you a little kiss and keep giving you loads of money.

You need to break free from mythical, magical thinking.

Yes of course your success, your wealth, your life is inevitably down to your deep-down beliefs, how you feel – your confidence – your daily state of being, your ability to think clearly, have ideas, see opportunities, take the action – because you feel in the right space. You have an integrated sense of belief deep down to allow you to move forward with wisdom, with vision, with clarity, with intuition, with understanding synchronicity.

It makes it happen, but you have to take the action, you can’t rely on magical, mythical thinking, you know;

The Law of Attraction is just going to send me money, customers, clients, joy, bliss bla bla bla.

I’m a performance psychologist, I want people to perform better. I want people to achieve their goals. I want people to get better at whatever they’re doing – that’s what drives me – but it’s not mythical thinking.

My client who doubled his money took action, he had a plan, he had a system. Its just that he cleared out his blocks that where stopping him seeing it. Stopping him doing it. Stopping him realising that idea – aha!

So, move magical thinking where it needs to be; back into the land of myth and imagination.

Update your own mind, your own self-belief, your emotional reactions, clear your blocks.

Think about it, enjoy thinking about it, get excited about what you can do.

That’s what you want. That’s how you make more money.

Unless you fully believe that the (so called) law of attraction charlatans (whoops sorry I mean) teachers;

“Tell the universe you just want $25,000 coming through the post.”

Unfortunately, there’s loads of people like that in the personal development industry – it’s full of them – but that’s a whole other video.
