Even after the 1st day of this you'll find your commitment & determination & even skills rise up to a level they've never been before. It is an amazing thing how powerful your brain is. And when you BELEIVE you can move faster than you ever have, chances are you will. I mean, it's not hard to imagine the affects having all these thoughts implanted into your brain will have on you & your training.
Anywayz, it's up to you guys if you want to give this a try. I've done it in other aspects of my life & it works absolute wonders. And doesn't take any effort at all really once you've done the initial recording. And just the experience it gives you when your in the gym & your mind is hightened to another level is just something that is priceless. You really do feel like a world class quality boxer. And suddenly you start to behave like it. Whether your on the mitts, in the ring sparing, or on the heavy bag. I've also found this is the only way to really implant feelings of greatness into your brain & carry them over into your training with such ease.
Probably the absolute best use for it though is right before a fight. The few days leading up to it and the day before & even right before the fight.. The usual times when doubt starts to set in and you find the mind games taking over... "i've never fought this guy before, how will I know what do do". "I havn't trained hard enough and he's going to run circles around me". "what if all my training goes out the window as soon as I get a good one to the head". "i'm going to feel humiliated in front of my family and friends". "what if I get seriously hurt".... Surely 99% of fighters out there have at least some negative thoughts go through there head before a fight, whether it's their 1st or 100th. And it is absolutely well known throughout the fighting world, that the results of a fight can completely come down to who came with the mindset that they'd already one, & who came mentally prepared for the fact they may fail...
Wouldn't the best words you could be drilling into your head before a fight be "I'm an expert in the ring, I have trained hard, I have practiced hard, and i'm a warrior ready for battle". "No matter who this guy is, i'm 100% prepared to expose every single one of his weakness". "Everyone has weaknesses and i'm going to expose them". "Even if I did have a weakness in the ring, I will never let my opponent expose it or take advantage of it. It is hidden beneath my mental and physical toughness". "as soon as that bell sounds, the rest of the world will fade away, and I go to work making my opponent look foolish". "I only get stronger with every hit I take". "My punches get twice as hard on fight night, and my opponent will feel every one of them". "I am a rising star and no one, NO ONE is going to stop me, especially this guy!".
I'd also like to mention this same hypnosis goes for anything in your life, from quiting smoking or some other addiction, to being more commited to your partner, to being a better manager at work, to being a better guitar player, to becoming and expert at remembering peoples names.. Have to make an important presentation in front of 40 people, but you completely sh!t your pants being up in front of an audiance? Record 20 positive things about speaking in front of people like "I am a positive, confident person & maintain my composure 100% when in front of people".. basically anything, just make up 20 - 30lines which absolutely encorage the behaviour you want to acheive..
If you're usually a shy person, record 20 lines like "I am an amazing wonderful person and everyone is lucky to be around me". "I find it easy to make conversation with people & people are always interested in what I have to say". Anyway, the uses for it are endless. Most of the time the differences in people's confidence come right down to how their mind works. 2 Identical guys could be standing in a group of people. One might be silent because he thinks he's ugly and has nothing that anyone would be interested in hearing & everyone will judge him if he opens his mouth. While the other has the group encapsulated by his chatter, simply because his brain is telling him, "all these people are dying to hear what i'm saying. I don't care what people think of the way I look because I'm happy with it..
Another thing -- Money!!! for most of it's hard to come by, and even harder to keep. Record a heap of lines like "I am a money magnet, it seems to grow without me even doing anything". "I am an expert saver and only make purchases when I have thought them out". stuff like that.. and after a while, watch as some how you've changed the way you think about money & how it some how magically grows and stays with you... Someone with depression would probably benifit a lot more from playing 50 positive message to themselves each night rather than a few pills a day to forget they're depressed. Why not turn their thoughts around so their brain tells them they are HAPPY. Happier than everyone around them becuase they have so many great qualities & opportunities..
blah blah blah, I could go on forever so i'll just end here as i'm sure you all get what i'm saying. Sorry this is so long too, but I really want you guys to realise how much can be taken from this exercise. Everyone is striving to be a better human being and get more out of life, and this helps that a LOT. In any area of your life. Not just boxing. Hey, even become an expert at picking up girls? (or boys)..
Sorry if this all sounds preachy too, usually I tune out big time when it comes to crap like this, and feel like a goof typing all this, but it's definetly something to consider... And it definetly works without a doubt.. And everyone has something in their life they feel the are not confident about and would benifit from that added confidence. And EVERYONE has another level of their boxing game that is waiting to be tapped into via a powerful boxing mindset.
please post any feedback or questions or critisizms you may have as I welcome any discussion. It would be much more appreciated though if some of you could give this a try for a week & tell me how it works for you. This website is all about helping people to improve their boxing skills & training and I definetly beleive this can take you a BIG step forward.
GOOD LUCK!
Also if anyone see's an interest in me making this a pure instructional article in PDF format for download on the net anytime, please let me know and i'll see what I can do.
If their is interest also, I may start a webpage with a huge list of positive lines people can add to, or take for their own recordings.
