What are you going to give up today?
In order to get what you want in life, it’s often necessary to give up something that is blocking you.
Usually the thing that is blocking you is your engagement in an activity that could be classified as nonproductive, or a waste of time.
What is a waste of your time?
Is it too much time before the television? Too much time scrolling on social media? Too much time talking on the phone and/or texting?
There’s always something you can give up so you “have more time.”
Knowing what you want is a big part of the goal getting process, but so is eliminating activities that are standing in your way.
Ponder this for a few minutes with a pen in your hand and a journal before you.
Take some notes today as you imagine and feel.
Now is the moment you will succeed.
You know what you want and you make it real.
For you willingly give up what you don’t really need.
Here endeth the lesson.

Positive Procrastination
Procrastination drains you of energy; it sucks the life out of you.
You cannot be happy for long if you are continually putting off until tomorrow what you can and ought to do today.
Much of the time, when someone puts something off, it is unconsciously used as part of a will power strategy that forces the person into action, usually at the last minute when the stakes are highest.
You end up getting the job done in the knick of time, but there is no “hurrah moment” afterward because you are exhausted instead of energized.
That’s the negative use of procrastination.
But there is a positive part to this situation.
When you have a job to do and you’re not quite sure of how to get it done, you turn the idea (or goal) over to your subconscious mind in the form of a question and let it (your subconscious mind) work on it while you are doing something else, which includes, taking a rest.
The result of letting an idea percolate in your subconscious mind leads to ground-breaking ideas that give you more energy, more life, and more action.
In this case, you aren’t really procrastinating in the negative sense of the term. You are using your mind the way it was created to be used.
There’s the “ready, fire, aim” method, which can and does work for some people.
Then there’s the mind picturing method which gets you ready and hurls you into action in such a way that you get things done with effortless effort.
You put off taking action until you have supplied your mind with the goal picture. Once the mind knows the objective, it’s a snap to get yourself going.
When you understand how this type of positive procrastination works, you don’t beat yourself up when you take a break, because you realize that your best ideas often come when you aren’t consciously working on them.
Taking a walk, cleaning a room, jumping in the shower, and making time for a nap are all activities that may seem useless and counterproductive, but the creative engineer inside your mind knows better.
Negative procrastination drains you of energy while positive procrastination increases it.
Remove the albatross of taking immediate action off your neck for a few minutes and relax. Instead, sit in a chair and see yourself doing what you have been putting off doing. See yourself enjoying what you have pushed to the side.
Within 60 seconds of doing this, you will have changed your mindset. And you will begin moving toward what it is that you want.
Keep the following in mind today: You cannot take action without picturing yourself acting first. Likewise, you cannot procrastinate without seeing yourself procrastinating.
It’s the power of mental pictures.
I talk all about it in my audiobook, Theatre of the Mind, available at audible.com.

Almost Sold Out – 2 Seats Remain
A quick heads up.
Beginning on Monday, March 4, I am conducting a 30-Day Theatre of the Mind Challenge.
I did one in January and it was a HUGE success. Many of the students benefitted so much that they enrolled for the next one.
In fact, all the employees from a municipality in Massachusetts are on board for this one.
I am NOT currently planning on doing another one this year, so this may be your last chance… EVER!
We will begin each day’s lesson at 8 AM EST, over ZOOM. Each one will be recorded and you will receive a link to watch it again and again after the training is completed.
This means you will have LIFETIME ACCESS to these videos.
During each Monday-Friday session, I will put you through a TOTM (Theatre of the Mind) style visualization that raises your vibration and activates your automatic success mechanism while turning off the failure and frustration mechanism.
Over the course of 30 days, this methodology and system will be ingrained into you for life.
I will explain all the Psycho-Cybernetics principles in a way you’ve never heard or read about them before.
You will be amazed.
I will also take a bit of time to answer any questions you have during the sessions. Each session will run for at least 30 minutes.
Sounds like a brain-enhancer, life-expander to me. What about you? Are you game?
The fee for this challenge is $1K ($1,000) and I have room for two more people.
If you are eager to get involved in this high-powered training, write me at mattfurey@mac.com and I’ll get you a link to enroll.
Each session will give you greater clarity and calmness. You will discover and learn the true secrets of visualizing and GETTING your goals that are not being taught anywhere else.
This training will put you into a state of FLOW and GLOW, where you radiate courage and confidence without saying a word.
When you walk into a room, don’t be surprised if heads turn and people feel that you are different.
Theatre of the Mind, along with all the other teachings in this course will remove unnecessary inhibition and over-thinking from your mind, allowing you to get after it each and every day, with unbridled enthusiasm and momentum.
The fee for this training really ought to be $5,000 per person as I waaaaaay over-deliver – but I am offering it to you for the ridiculously low amount of only 1K.
This 30-Day Theatre of the Mind Challenge is going to give you the mind-power to go where you’ve never gone before, and the gumption and guts to do what you may think of as impossible.
It will give you the tested and true way to make your life into the masterpiece you want it to be.
You may need a telescope at the end of 2024 to see how far you’ve come.
What I am teaching in this course is not for Lookie Louise’s or Mal Content’s. It’s not for tire-kickers, whiners and complainers.
Two more spots remain. Get a hold of me immediately at mattfurey@mac.com if you want to participate, and if you’re cut out for this program, I will send you the link to get started NOW.
This Challenge is NOT for everyone.
But if you think it is… remember these three words… “Just Get Started.”
The Race is On!

Daily Dehypnosis – Can You Change the Past?
“You can’t change the past.”
Could this be yet another one of those seemingly true statements we’ve bought into?
Moreover, could the idea that we can’t change the past cause us to refrain from moving forward into a brighter future?
This morning I had a coaching call with a man who is writing a book. He works on it, then gets sidetracked; works on it a bit more – gets sidetracked again. And so on.
So today I put him through a 3-minute dehypnosis session.
In this session he went back into the past, to a memory of turning in a term paper in 10th grade. The teacher wrote a big red ‘F’ on the front of the paper and told him to redo it.
He refused to rewrite the paper, and he never returned to class with that teacher again. Even the punishment his football coach gave him, several laps around the track each night after practice, didn’t change his mind. To say he “dug his heels in” would be putting it mildly.
And there he was today, some 30+ years later, reliving this memory that he hadn’t recalled for a long, long time.
After 30 seconds of replaying the details of that memory, I guided this man through a life-changing visualization that rewrites the old script and changes the memory of the old movie.
On top of that, I had him picture how he would respond to this same teacher today. This took another 30 seconds, during which time there was a major vibrational shift that took place inside of him.
At the conclusion of this exercise, I asked him to relay the details of his experience with this exercise. As he spoke, both of us experienced the goose bumps that often accompany a huge shift in one’s mindset.
He was now FREE, for the first time in over 30 years, to not only change the past, but to choose a different response if something similar was still happening today, at an unconscious level. He noted that his experience, unbeknownst to him, was a bottleneck that was holding him back.
Not anymore. He’s done with that bad memory. It is now a positive one; a memory that is driving him forward.
By the end of the call, this man had half a dozen more stories to put into his forthcoming book. I can’t wait to read it.
How cool is that?
Daily Dehypnosis is powerful. It takes you out of the trance you’ve been living in and gives you unlimited options that allow you to move forward with gusto and enthusiasm.
Here endeth the lesson.
Matt Furey
P.S. In my forthcoming 30-Day Theatre of the Mind Challenge (beginning on March 4), Daily Dehypnosis is just one of dozens of techniques you will learn that give you the tools to take charge of your life. This class is filling up, so if you want me to send you a link to enroll, send an email to me by clicking here. The course is 1K. We meet Monday-Friday during each day of the 30-Day Challenge at 8 AM EST. Just so you know, this challenge is not for those are sleep-walking their way through life. It’s for the DOERS who are tired of all the excuses, those who want real results they can bank on. If you are GAME, LET’S GO!
Procrastination is making you wait… for nothing
A few moments ago, an old Heinz ketchup commercial was playing in my mind.
If you don’t remember it, or weren’t around back then, it went as follows: “Anticipation… an-ti-ci-pay-ya-tion is making me wait.”
As I heard these words in my mind, a new word, procrastination, entered the picture.
I found myself nodding in agreement, saying to myself, “Procrastination… pro-cras-ti-na-aa-tion is making me wait.”
Wait for what?
That is the six-trillion dollar question.
Why on earth do we procrastinate, especially on the things that we know we can get done lickety-split? Why do we avoid doing what we know we could begin doing immediately, and be done with, for the rest of the day?
It’s a bad habit. And yet, this bad habit is nothing more than a mental picture we play in our minds. We see ourselves delaying doing something, instead of focusing on getting what we want done.
One of the keys to eliminating procrastination is taking a minute or two to “clear the mechanism.”
You close your eyes and picture a calculator in your hands with a bunch of digits running across the screen. Then you press “C” to clear the screen. As soon as you do this, the residue from previous activities evaporates, and you feel a sense of calmness and clarity.
Once the calculator screen is clear, you take another minute to picture yourself doing what you’ve been putting off.
You see yourself fully engaged in the activity you’ve been avoiding. You see yourself being finished, then you get out of your own way and “get ‘er done.”
Give this exercise from Psycho-Cybernetics a whirl today and see where it leads you. I’m betting be amazed.

Birds Don’t Focus on Self-Love
True or False:
Birds fly south in the winter and grizzly bears hibernate.
You’ve probably heard both of these statements numerous times, yet both are inherently false.
No matter how cold the weather is where you live, if you trust your eyes, you’ll note that a great many birds brave the harshest of conditions. They don’t go anywhere, much less south.
As for the grizzly bears in the northwestern regions of the United States and Canada, they don’t hibernate. They dig dens and take a rest in a sleepy state referred to as torpor, but if you think they never come out of those dens until the snow and cold are gone, you’d be incorrect.
I recently purchased a few grizzly bear photography books to add to my collection, and it was amazing to see ole Mama Bear plodding through the snow with three or four cubs trailing close behind. Grizzlies are somewhat sleepy during the winter season, and they do spend a fair amount of time resting in their dens, but they aren’t hibernating for several months when it gets frosty.
Now let’s look at the concept of self-love, something that we’re told is an absolute must in self-development circles. But is it really?
Well, some of what we’re told is somewhat true.
We’re told you cannot love anyone else more than you love yourself. We’re told in the Bible to love your neighbor as yourself.
But does this mean we should focus all of our time on “loving ourselves more?”
I think it’s far better and far more productive to do as Dr. Maltz taught: “See yourself with kind eyes.”
Stop being so hard on yourself. Stop criticizing yourself. See the better part of YOU. Then get on with your day, doing the work to create the life you want to live.
The more you create results in your life that you are pleased with, the more you will come to “love yourself” without giving much thought to it at all.
Similar to the birds that don’t fly south, you will find plenty of food (work to do) where you are. And if there’s insufficient food up north to supply you when it’s frosty, then you focus on flying south so you can get some. In the bird kingdom, their focus is on the food.
If you want to get results in your life, you do what the birds are teaching us. You put your focus on what you want to accomplish and you maintain that vision until it becomes part of your life.
Focusing on self-love is usually a diversion that may feel nice, temporarily, but it won’t put hay in the barn or pay the bills.
If you’re prone to self-loathing, take the focus off yourself and put it on something that you can and want to accomplish in the here and now. As you’re working on your accomplishment, you will instantly feel good, even though that isn’t what you’re focused on.
Imagine that!
Here endeth the lesson.

P.S. Tomorrow marks the final day of the inaugural Theatre of the Mind 30-Day Challenge. The next one begins on March 4. Initially I had planned to begin on February 12, but two unexpected big projects fell into my lap, so I’ll be busting a hump to get them done on time. The reviews are in regarding this first challenge, and I’m thrilled with the progress everyone has made. If you’re interested in being involved in this next round, the fee is currently set at 1K, but it will go UP as we move closer to the actual start date. If you want in, send an email to mattfurey@mac.com, and if you’re a fit for this program, I will send you the link to enroll NOW.
Grab the Low Hanging Fruit
10 days ago I began teaching the inaugural Theatre of the Mind Challenge, a course that teaches all the members of this illustrious group to raise their vibration, improve their self-image and create positive energy in their lives.
It’s amazing to observe how much these people have grown so far, and to hear the enthusiasm in their voices.
When you practice Theatre of the Mind on a daily basis, your life gets into a state of flow – and it shows as you begin to glow. People pick up on improved vibration/self-image and doors that were closed begin to open.
Thing is, many people have bought into the erroneous notion that they are “visual” or that they’re not good at picturing things in their mind’s eye. This is something I covered on Day One – with a 100% success rate. Everyone realized that visualization, taught my way, is far easier than previously thought.
Today we covered the physiology of creating a high-vibration. I had the group sit in the way I instructed them to sit, and follow what I was doing with my hands.
To say that the members were astonished would be an understatement. They immediately felt the energy in their bodies in some incredible ways. At this point, these men and women realized that if you create this state of being BEFORE you practice Theatre of the Mind, your results will be amplified beyond belief.
I say “beyond belief” because you don’t have to believe what I am saying is true, and it doesn’t matter if you think it will or won’t work for you. It will happen regardless of what you think.
Why? Because just as you have a cybernetic function in your brain and in a thermostat, you also have one in your body. And once you assume the postures of success I teach, much of the important “work” you are doing… is already done.
Visualizing when you’re in a low vibrational state can help lift you out of it, but not nearly as quickly as when you add the elements I am mentioning.
Note: The success postures are not something I covered on the first day, as a firm foundation still has to be laid. I covered the physiological aspects today, when people were primed and ready for them, when they had already lifted their vibration significantly with the other Theatre of the Mind visualization exercises.
And this is important. Too many people put the cart in front of the horse. They try too hard to make a shift in their lives. But “trying” doesn’t work. Neither does jumping over hurdles that you’re not ready to scale yet.
This is why I’m a firm advocate of beginning with the low hanging fruit. Start with daily goals instead of goals that are 20-years off. Start with goals that are process oriented, goals that lead to so much momentum that you can now see the positive writing on the wall. Yes, you CAN do this. You CAN succeed. And you’re proving it to yourself on a daily basis.
Talking about momentum, I’m so pumped about what our group is doing that I am eager to begin filling up the next one, which will probably sell out, as this one did, fairly fast. We will begin on February 12.
Do you want to be involved?
If so, send an email to mattfurey@mac.com and tell me why you want to be considered for this next challenge.
So you know, I don’t take everyone who wants to be a part of this Challenge. I am selective.
The fee for this training is easily worth $5,000 per person – but I am offering it for the ridiculously low early-bird amount of only $1,500. This amount will go up substantially as the date of the next Challenge approaches.
The Theatre of the Mind Challenge gives you the mind-power to go where you’ve never gone before.
You may need a telescope at the end of 2024 to see how far you’ve come.
What I am teaching in this course is not for Lookie Louise’s or Mal Content’s. It’s not for tire-kickers, whiners and complainers.
Get a hold of me immediately at mattfurey@mac.com if you want to participate, and if you’re cut out for this program, I will send you the link to enroll NOW.

The Big Goal
Having a BIG GOAL is similar to being in a tournament with 32 competitors, all of whom want to win – with some desiring it more than others.
You begin with the opening round, which you must win to play another day.
If you win the first round, 16 competitors are left.
If you win the next round, eight people remain. Win again and you’re down to four.
With one more victory, two people are still standing, and one of them will take home the championship.
The competitor who is looking ahead to the championship before the first round, is often upset by someone not as highly skilled.
The one whose primary focus is on the current round is poised and relaxed, able to perform at his or her best. The competitor who looks too far ahead, figuring the current round is a foregone conclusion, often meets with disaster.
And so it goes with having a BIG GOAL of any kind.
If you chunk your goal into bite-sized daily accomplishments, you play the game of life with passion, purpose and power. You allow momentum to build as you focus on the process of getting something done.
Over time, by focusing on the process, the result you seek almost seems to take place of its own accord.
Ultimately, you were the one with the vision, the one who created the reality you’re now living in.
But you did it by looking ahead temporarily, then putting your focus back on the here and now, the step you must take before you get another one.
Champions are masters of taking care of the little stuff that adds up to the big prize. Champions don’t overlook opponents, regardless of their record. They take care of who and what is in front of them today.
Too much focus on the BIG GOAL leads to disappointment and frustration.
You can never focus too much on taking care of the opponent you are facing today.
That tiny pebble in your shoe is only a nuisance when you don’t take the time to remove it.
Daily goals may appear to be a nuisance in comparison to a BIG GOAL, but if you don’t take care of them, they will bite you.
