In the press - Hypnosis could be the key to unlock your fear

July 28th, 2008

My birth town, Cambridge, local newspaper took wind of my success recently and wrote a really nice article from an interview we had. It just may give you the little nudge you may need to take inspired action to fulfill your own dreams.

You may want to let go of limiting beliefs, old past negative emotions even behaviours.

But….. you may just choose to rather let go, actually aspire to achieve certain outcomes and dreams you have. Maybe financial goals, health and vitality, career changing goals, even directing your unconscious to attract your soul mate.

The world can be yours if you choose!

You can read the article from the Cambridge Evening News here

Great press in the Daily Express with Joseph Clough

July 15th, 2008

Hey All

Just thought I’d let you know of the great press we are getting.

Last week I was in one of the biggest UK national papers The Daily Express. I was invited to the London headquarters to release three phobias using my own skills and Hypnosis and NLP.

A dog phobia, a fear of wrists and a fear of swallowing and choking.

I’m pleased to say I released them all that day and one only took 10 minutes.

Below is a picture of the article.

Joseph Clough, Celebrity Mind Coach, The Daily Express

 

Makes you wonder what you can easily change from fears and phobias to anxiety and depression, to relationship issues to health issues. It’s all yours to change and have the freedom that you deserve.

Only one thing ultimately stops us from changing…… ourselves.

We are our only limitation, but on the other hand we can transform that to pure potential, to reclaim our thoughts, to develop empowering beliefs, to construct exciting new behaviours, to manifest our dreams and act out our destiny.

We don’t create a wonderful future by focusing on the past. You would never think to drive a car just looking behind you. Instead you focus on the big windscreen in front of you, to know where you are going and only occasionally look at the rear view mirror to be safe. I think life is the same, we can learn from the past, but our time is now – to live in the present and to focus on our outcomes and live them as if we had them now.

So why not take this time now, to take responsibility and reclaim your life back. After all we can choose life to effect us, or we can choose to see every thing in life to a effect of us.

Are you ready to Reclaim Your Destiny?

July 4th, 2008

Are you ready to Reclaim Your Destiny?

Why do some people feel helpless in areas of their life?

Maybe because we have made limiting decisions and beliefs about ourselves like:

I cant make enough money’

‘I don’t feel worthy’

‘I’ll never find anyone’

‘I’m not good enough to for that job’

Maybe because of past traumatic experience and we sub-consciously belief the past equals the future?

Maybe because we have negative associations hold us back like the anger, sadness, fear, guilt and hurt?

Whatever it is – it doesn’t have to be that way.

Life is meant to be good for YOU – if you begin to choose it.

To choose to take 100% responsibility and take immediate action and ownership of your life.
To realise that your past does not equal your future. After all you would never drive your car just looking through your rear view mirror – so why live our life in the same way just looking at the past.

Maybe it’s your time to shine and be your potential.

Right now think about your outcomes and dreams, what are they? Write them down?

What stops you? Right those down, whether its limiting thoughts, beliefs, behaviours, or situations.

Are you doing to allow them to stop you have passion, fulfilment and love for life?

No, take action and start working on them. Refuse to allow them to get in the way of your dreams.

After all are they dreams? Maybe if you don’t act them out, why not act now and make them a reality! Trust me, the journey to your ‘dreams’ will be a transformational amazing journey, one that will equal the destination itself!

If you have any thoughts, limitation, leave a comment and I’ll even help you in the best way I can – can’t get better than that, free coaching on my blog! Or take a look at Being Your Potential e-book or audio program to take ownership of your life.

Yet another knife crime – lets get a clear picture.

July 1st, 2008

Yet another knife crime – lets get a clear picture.

Everyday we seem to be hearing more and more news on knife crimes on youths with deaths on the rise.

It really saddens me, as I am sure it does you.

First of all for the victim and their loss of life

Secondly, for their families who loose a child to violence and how they have to try and cope without their child, brother, sister or grandchild.

And thirdly, for the youths responsible for the horrible crime.

Many people would just want to through away the key to those responsible. And I feel if caught with a knife or weapon there should be punished rather than the petty warnings some may receive. However we must also address the cause.

Why do they do it?

There are always reasons and those reasons are varied.

From feeling isolated from the community and joining gangs for ‘family’ and ‘belonging’ to not being able to see a way out or they feel it’s the only thing they do.

Although it may be hard to imagine, imagine looking through their eyes and see, hear and feel the world they live in.

Maybe you see you have no way or options to progress in live.

Maybe you don’t feel cared, appreciated or loved.

No sense of belonging.

Potentially having grown up in poverty and abuse.

Maybe feeling targeted and condemned by society.

If you had a few or all of those things how may you react in life?

By no means does it EVER condone those horrible actions and crimes. However it does make us have a hard look at ourselves. What are WE doing to change and cure the causes of the vicious crimes? Are we in a way turning a blind eye and continuing to isolated and label them as no hopers and the disease of society? Or are we going to take a stand and educate troubled youths.

Give them options and progress, Give them an opportunity and if they do well care appreciate and love them. Help resolve their hurts and negative emotions and beliefs of caused by childhood trauma and neglect. Educate them that there is more they can have out of life.

I think everyone is doing everything they can given the choices and resources they have. Like someone who is depressed, phobic, anxious or addicted; they feel that it’s out of their control – although the answers are always hidden within them.

So you maybe thinking “What are YOU going to do Joseph”

That’s something I have thought about a lot recently. And I am searching and working on opportunities to create change.  What ideas can you think of?

One way is that I am targeting youth charities to come along on a FREE one day seminar where I truly belief I can help them use all their energy to create unlimited possibilities through educating them that there are things they can do.

So if you are interested in coming along, if you’re apart of a charity who wish to make a positive change email me at info@josephclough.com

I wasn’t a bad child, but I was labelled as not clever or good enough. Many big money makers today who create change in the world were labelled the same like Sir Richard Branson.

I managed to turn my life around at a young age and have big dreams to fulfil and one is teaching others the secret of a fulfilling and abundant life.

What would you do to help? And what stops you? Are only limitations are those that we put on ourselves.

A ‘Wizard’

June 29th, 2008

I’ve got a story to tell you and make of it as you will.

‘The Wizard’

I believe we all have a ‘Wizard’ in our life, so hold on and let me go a little deeper.

A little boy I knew had his own ‘Wizard’ without realizing it, as we all do. The boy was an unconfident boy, a boy who seemed to struggle in most areas of his life. But as his life began to unfold there was a common theme that began to grow. But what would you define as a ‘Wizard’?

Maybe mythical? or just maybe simple characteristics such as wisdom, strength, support, guidance without judgement?

This boy had the latter, but with out realizing it.

Naturally the ‘Wizard’ had a big role to play in the young boy’s life. All young people only have the wisdom of their years. However the ‘Wizard’ went by life through his greater experience.

But the ‘Wizard’ was in a sense a double edge sword. The boy thought he knew best, as did the ‘Wizard’ which would a create conflict at times. But who was right? Well both and neither.

What? How both and neither?

Well the ‘Wizard’ went through by his past experience, but with that came restrictions with thinking, whereas the boy had fresh ideas but not necessary the experience and learnings to back it up.

As time grow the two began to realise each others areas were equally important and in order to really succeed both had to integrate their thoughts and ideas.

The ‘Wizard’ gave the boy lots of support and love to the boy’s purpose in life. The ‘Wizard’ would talk about a ‘Wizard’ that set him off on his journey. How he integrate learnings from his own ‘Wizard’ but without knowing it he became a ‘Wizard’ in the progress of his life.

And having become the ‘Wizard’ himself he began to teach others and especially the child, who then became an adult. Through that guidance and teaching the now young adult began to help and teach others the best he could with the knowledge he had been given.  He would talk about the ‘Wizard’ to those he taught and then he realised the new theme.

Those who have a special ‘Wizard’ in their life (which I believe we all do) begin to realize and act out their true potential, and also begin to pass knowledge and wisdom to others and in avertedly become a ‘Wizard’ too. The unconfident boy, a boy who seemed to struggle in most areas of his life became his potential and the ‘Wizard’ of his destiny.

Who was the boys ‘Wizard?’ Well I leave that for you decide, but the ‘Wizard’ knows. But what about your ‘Wizard’?

Is it a family member? a friend? a partner? your unconscious mind ? even you?

Be the Wizard of your life.

Justin Timberlake suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

June 25th, 2008

I read today that Justin Timberlake suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) - and the anxiety-based condition seems to be taking over his life.

Justin Timberlake would be a fantastic client that I’d like to take on and let go of the OCD within an hour or so

How though?

Well Justin’s thought patterns have developed habits which are accompanied with anxiety. The more he has the obsessive thoughts the greater the anxiety and the more he’ll continue the behaviour of OCD.

When I work with my celebrity clients and everyday people I can begin to reprogram the mind to resolve the OCD. His OCD is pretty much like a Audio CD continually being played on repeat. I simply scratch the CD so much that it can not be played anymore and then install new positive thought patterns which allow my clients to have the freedom that they deserve.

The SexyBack singer claims that he is overly-obsessed with neatness and often spends hours making sure objects are lined up perfectly, but the stress that comes with the disorder is often debilitating.

The article also said that other stars including Jessica Alba, David Beckham, and Cameron Diaz have all confessed to suffering from forms of OCD - which is characterised by obsessive thoughts, compulsions or rituals.

So Justin when will you decide to simply let go of it. After all I can guarantee my results – no success no fee.

If your suffering from OCD why not check out my Overcome OCD Hypnosis CD – that goes for Justin too :)

How Hypnosis reduces Chronic Pain

June 24th, 2008

How Hypnosis reduces Chronic Pain

I get the question about pain control and using Hypnosis a fair bit. People say naturally you can control, change and resolve psychological problems but how about the pain of the biological body?

Well to me it’s simple.

Your mind and body is completely interconnected. Long gone are the days that we saw the body as a machine which is separate from our mind. It’s easy to understand with the following examples:

How many depressed people have lots of energy and can’t stop getting things done? None.

How many amazingly fit people are depressed? Few.

Why because when the mind is depressed the body becomes also depressed. And vice versa when our body is fit and energetic our mind tends to be the same.

But how can we manage pain?

Well the pain that we have is a signal to us that a part of the body is hurt or injured and its needs our conscious attention – after all if we didn’t feel the pain we would do more damage to the injured body. The pain also tells us we need to rest and heal ourselves, so the pain puts us out of action until we are back to our healthy selves.

Sometimes however our body sends us too many signals even when we have received the communication to rest and we are resting. Also sometimes there is psychological pain, hence sometimes when we have been through psychological trauma our body can have many sypmtoms from shaking to even vomiting if the event makes us sick to the stomach – that emotional pain can stay with us if we don’t choose to work on it.

Through Hypnosis we can:

- Get back in control of the pain so that we can manage it and even turn the pain down – having just the right amount to let us know we need to be careful
- We can also resolve the psychological aspects of the pain which then resolves the physical pain.
- Change your focus to excellent health

After to all, if we change our mind we change our body, if we change our body we change our mind.

Hypnosis can be the key in reconnecting us to the control over our unconscious processes such as pain to achieve our outcomes.

You are the conscious goal setter and your unconscious is the goal getter. So if you set your mind and focus on pain you get…….pain. If you set your mind and focus on control and health you get………freedom.

Feel free to have a listen to a small clip of my Manage Chronic Pain Hypnosis CD and have a little read on what we can achieve together here

What stops you achieving your dreams?

June 20th, 2008

What stops you achieving your dreams and how long are you prepared to let it stop you?

That’s right, how long are you prepared to let it stop you?

With all the respect I can give, I believe we are our only limitation. We only usually perceive them to be external things if we allow them too.

What?

First of all think about what is your dream? What are your outcomes in life? If you could achieve the most realistic (But then again who defines realistic) amazing goals in life what would they be?

I’d write them down……

And what stops you going for it and achieving it?  At this point you may be getting reasons or in my world ‘excuses’ as they only give you reasons/excuses as to why you haven’t got your goal yet. It’s a natural response we all have from time to time.

But having found out our excuses we shouldn’t just let them be and give up on our dreams should we?

I’ve got a question for you….. If you had just twelve months to live would you allow those ‘excuses’ to get in the way of your wildest dreams?
No - I would doubt it. I am sure you would do all you can, even if there are things in the way stopping you, you would do anything in your power to overcome those hurdles.

But why?

Because the values have changed, in one situation you have the rest of your life the other you have twelve months to live. But in reality each situation has the exact same excuses or reasons but one situations refuses to allow them to get in the way.

Interesting isn’t? We are our only limitation.

If you don’t know your dreams or goals that you want to achieve in life, imagine having god like powers, what would you desire?

Would it be finances? Your soul mate? A new career? Vibrant health? The list is endless but whatever happens we should be aiming for the big goals in life that we want to achieve. And thinking like we have godly powers takes us beyond those limitations and reasons.

Question came from me to me the other night and maybe you should ask yourself this too.

What have you done today to change your life and the world for the better?

Celebrities use Hypnosis to quit smoking

June 17th, 2008

Is it time for you to quit smoking?

Guess what is was time for many celebrities to quit smoking too….

Samuel Jackson, Drew Barrymore, Ellen Degeneres, , Ben Affleck and Matt Damon stopped smoking and but how did they do it……………. You guesed it with Hypnosis

But why is Hypnosis so great with quitting the cigarettes for good?

Well we smoke for lots of reasons – stress, boredom, socializing, let alone pure habit.
If you do anything ‘x’ amount of times a day, for ‘x’ amount of months and years and especially when do it when you are stressed bored etc your unconscious mind will take on and run the whole habit for you, it thinks its doing a great job. So even if you do eventually try to quit by yourself your body says ‘no way’ and gives you withdrawal symptoms.

Now however you can use hypnosis to get the unconscious mind to quit smoking for good and come up with new beliefs, resources and habits to replace the old smoking ways.

Ben Affleck tells Oprah: “I finally decided to quit smoking when I found out I was going to have a child. That was the thing that sort of put it over the top for me. I decided to go to a hypnotist. You sit in a chair and the hypnotist sips water and just talks to you for an hour, and explains how nicotine is poison.”
“All of a sudden, I thought, ‘This is asinine that I’ve been doing this to myself for all these years.’ My last cigarette was on November 10th, 2005, and I feel a huge difference in my health now that I don’t smoke. I feel like I’m in better shape than I was five years ago.”

Ellen Degeneres say’s: Three days later, “I feel so good. I feel healthier! It seems ridiculous but my skin looks better, I just feel like, I feel healthy. I feel really good.”

If you are ready to make the decisions to stop smoking, and ready to have the health you and especially your family deserve why not make the commitment to make leap and buy the Stop Smoking Now Hypnosis CD or MP3 Download.

Feel the benefits of Freedom, health, vitality and even added finances today.
