I'll try to maintain my cousins' anonymity while stating this: both of them are literally the best in the world at their passion (think Olympic athlete, math Olympiad, Rhodes Scholar, etc.) What's their secret? Their mom/my aunt swear by hypnosis. On a side note, their passion is not lucrative, it always saddens me to see them have such a drive yet not achieve anywhere close to their earning potential.
- hypnqs 6y agoI'm curious, are they hypnotized while training, performing, or both?
- organicfigs 6y agoI'm not sure if they have a session prior to competing but I know they use it to train and get through 8+ hours of practice.
- hypnqs 6y agoIt's not every day you hear a strong a testimonial for hypnosis :) Can I hire a hypnotist or something to try this on me, or is there a book which describes the process? I imagine it's something like getting into a flow state on command & staying there.
- mindsetalex 6y agoI'd look into active-alert hypnosis: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00029157.2018.1496318 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00029157.2018.1... We have an alert session in Mindset you can try as well. The flow comparison is quite apt.
- organicfigs 6y agoI wouldn't know since I haven't really prodded them on the details. I wouldn't want to give any advice on something I don't know too much about, I'm sorry!
