Getting back to work and not having to work at it
Full hypnosis download Going back to work
I see so many honest, reliable and conscientious people overcome with self-doubt and lack of confidence when it comes to going back to work after a long period of absence. Some people seem to assume that just because they have been raising kids, or caring for a parent, or even off travelling for five years, that they are now some how ‘out of date’ and have nothing to offer the workplace.
But they have.
The modern workplace is all about transferable skills.
We live in a youth obsessed culture. Enough said. But if you buy into the idea that once you are over thirty you can never be as quick or quicker, as smart or smarter. or as wise (or much wiser) than the pubescent whiz kids around you, then you are doing yourself a disservice.
Advantages of aging
Yes, that’s right. As we age we lose brain cells, it’s true, but the connections between the cells (neurons) we do have increases - meaning we literally have more potential brain power at fifty-five than we did at twenty-five. This scientific proven fact has long been acknowledged by the popular traditional sentiment that we become wiser with age.
Your transferable skills
A parent needs a whole range of skills, including emotional self-management, planning and organisation, persuasion and influence, time management and patience. All these skills are huge boons to any workplace. If you have spent years travelling, you will likewise have needed to manage time, plan and organise. You also needed to focus on long term goals and ‘read people’ to communicate your needs etc.
If you’ve been away from work from illness or stress, then you will have had to manage that illness/stress, to compromise and work round it in your life. There are enough techies in the world. What workplaces need are people with ‘emotional intelligence’ skills. Of course, you may have to learn new practical skills on the job, but the time away from work will have helped you to acquire so many other skills too.
This new hypnosis session created for hypnosisdownlaods.com is called ‘Going back to work’ and is for all those people who lack confidence in going back to work, whatever the reason they have been away.
I hope it helps get people to feel confident again and really shine in the workplace.

Remember what you read without so many notes
Full hypnosis download Remember what you've read
What’s black and white and read all over?
OK, OK, that’s terrible. And it doesn’t work when you read it instead of hearing it. But moving swiftly on…
The idea for this latest hypnotic download session for hypnosisdownloads.com actually came from some work I did with a scientist. This man has a brilliant mind, but he claimed that his recall of written material was appalling. “I just can’t recall any of the contents of entire books I’ve read” were his precise words on the subject. Since he has to peer review reams of scientific papers, this was a handicap. “I have to make notes all the time, and then read and re-read and re-re-read them.” I thought he might be developing a stutter by the time he got to the end of that sentence.
We got to work, and after several sessions of hypnosis he told me that his ability to recall what he’d read had improved so dramatically that he’d actually stopped making notes altogether. One read-through was now enough for him to be able to retain all the information he needed.
Reflecting on this, I realised that actually lots of us have this problem. I know I certainly have had that weird feeling you get when you suddenly realise you can’t recall a single word you just read. Tiredness, distracting thoughts, feeling you have to read it but not really wanting to – all of these can get in the way of decent recall of reading material.
Getting a hold
To recall written material, we need to lay it down strongly in memory in the first place. The more we ‘interact’ with the material when we read it, the more likely it is to be moved more quickly into the safer arms of long term memory. The more ‘passive’ we are in relation to the material, the more likely it is to slip through the grasp of our short term memory – in and out like water though a sieve (to use an over-worked metaphor).
This hypnosis session aims to establish a habit of instant memory retention by encouraging the listener to make the information their own – automatically. This is partly achieved though hypnotic rehearsal of the process of explaining the material to other people. Fascinatingly, although doing this can seem slow at first, it can actually speed up to become pretty much instant as you read. It certainly worked for the scientist I mentioned above, and I hope it will help many other people who have a lot of reading to do too.
Thanks for listening… err… reading!
