This May Be Your Last Chance, Ever

by

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 five 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.

Only five 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?

by

“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

by

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

by

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

by

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

by

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.

Stopping to Smell the Aroma of Sweet Success

by

Q: Why do you and Dr. Maltz advocate reviewing previous successes? Isn’t it better to just move on and focus on the next thing?

A: Moving onto the next goal without taking time to appreciate what you accomplished is the same as never stopping to smell the flowers or refusing the savor your favorite food. You’re living and moving, but without all the senses being activated.

When you express appreciation and gratitude you connect to the Creator and strengthen the creative process. When you relive a previous success experience, no matter how seemingly insignificant (such as the first time you tied your shoes) before you visualize you are practicing gratitude even though it is not explicitly stated as such in Psycho-Cybernetics.

Gratitude and appreciation increase your vibration. It puts rocket fuel into your tank.

The Daily Facelift

by

Q: In Psycho-Cybernetics Dr. Maltz talks about giving yourself an emotional facelift. Does this mean you can give yourself a facelift in your imagination?

A: Not only can you give yourself an emotional facelift, but you can also use your imagination to do a face plant (not recommended). The key word is”emotional.” Use your mind to lift the corners of your mouth (inner smile) and experience the difference it makes in your inner and outer world.

from my notebook

by

I keep various notebooks and journals.
Some tiny, some much larger.
Others are leather bound, this one has
spirals.

I write cursive or script and almost never print.
Sometimes the characters I draw… a bit better than
stick figures – have squares and triangles that drop a
hint.

And then there are the rhyming words, the poems.
Written just for fun when life is easy or rough.
No thoughts of buy or sell, letting my mind
roam.

Feels good to free the mind from its cell.
Once a day, to let loose without a snare.
Climb a bonsai tree? Let crickets ring a
bell?

With pen and pad, the trivial becomes important.
The telling of what you can ruin or create.
Can you fish without water, or turn a walk into a
hunt?
