#471 The Secret Ingredient to Living Your Best Life

Including Hypnosis

What if the reason things haven't quite stuck yet isn't what you want… but why you want it?

In this longer, deeper episode of Personal Development Unplugged, I take you beyond goal-setting, beyond wishy-washy intentions, and right into the one missing ingredient that makes real, lasting change inevitable.

This episode includes a guided hypnosis / deep visualisation process designed to help you connect emotionally and unconsciously with the version of you who is already living their best life — and to install the inner resource that makes it all possible.

We explore why New Year's resolutions fail, why motivation fizzles out, and how your unconscious mind can be guided to work for you instead of against you.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why "who do you want to be?" isn't enough without a powerful why

• The secret ingredient that turns desire into action

• How your unconscious mind learns just as powerfully from imagination as reality

• Why visualising your future self isn't fantasy — it's training

• A practical demonstration showing how imagination rewires behaviour

• A deep hypnosis process to connect with your future self and install commitment

• How to access the will to do whatever it takes

• Why alignment with your values creates effortless momentum

• How living your best life benefits you, others, and the world around you

# 471 the secret ingredient to living your best life with Hypnosis

Hey, welcome to the longer episode, the deeper dive on who do you want to be? Do you remember a week ago or the previous episode, the five minute quickie, which was actually 14 minutes, was who do you want to be? And today we're going to do a process. Now it could be a deep hypnosis process, or it could be a light visualization. If you're on the video, it's probably going to be a light visualization.

 

If it's on audio, I'm going to add in some deeper stuff. So your choice. You can always flip between the two.

 

But the thing is, it's not who you want to be. It's bloody why. The why you want to be who you want to be.

 

You see, without your why, there's probably not going to be anything. You might start, you might start in the right direction of who you want to be, who you think you want to be. But then sometimes it'll fizzle out.

 

I'm sure, like me, you do like me, don't you? But just like me, you started something, maybe without thinking too deeply about it. You didn't really think about your intention. You certainly didn't think about what was important about it.

 

It just seemed important at the time, just felt that way. And you went and did it. And what happened? Fizzled out.

 

It's a bit like bloody New Year's resolutions, isn't it? We have to do this thing. We make these lists of what we're going to do. No real conviction, no real importance.

 

I could, I wish, that type of stuff. Wishy-washy wishes. And you see, to get there, you want a secret ingredient.

 

I call it a secret ingredient. It's a secret step, but it's not secret because you've got it inside you. It's a resource that's untapped.

 

It's untapped until you find your why. And when you find your why and what's important, boom. But I'm going to go into that a little bit later.

 

I'm not going to give it all away now because I don't do that. I want you to think at the moment, if you were being who you really want to be, just for the moment, doing the things that the person you want to be would be doing, the desires, the dreams that you have right now, that you over there would be doing it in your mind. Imagine that person in your mind, that ultimate vision of you, the person you want to be is actually there right now doing that stuff.

 

It's achieved everything you want to achieve. The wishes, the dreams, the abundance. And it's not just abundance of financi
