As people search for a better exercise regime, martial arts has emerged as a viable option. It caters to people of all walks of life, and of almost any age, making martial arts a viable option. It can be a great physical workout, and an effective boost to mental and spiritual wellness.
Martial arts encompass the full range of body motion, from every joint and muscle of every limb, not to mention the trunk of the body and head. Combining aerobic and anaerobic workouts with resistance training, it burns excess fat and builds lean muscle too. It is got for the heart and good for the brain – it makes a person move and think at the same time.
Different martial arts focus on different skill sets, so choose wisely to suit your needs, plus personality, interests and skills set. Think about the right Ryu for you too. Some focus on competition while others focus on skills and techniques. It is important they also focus on the mental aspects too.
Boxing and Muay Thai emphasis is on both the arms and legs in varying rotary motions. The focus is on strength and speed, which are key components in delivering powerful blows.
All wrestling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu have a focus on core strength, to use the weight of the body to maneuver opponents into various positions.
Ninjitsu encompasses adaptability and flexibility through the integration of many different techniques, includingshurikenjutsu, kenjutsu, sōjutsu, bōjutsuand others. Ninjitsu is a fighting system based around joint locks, striking, weapon fighting, and these days particularly – self-defense.
Ninjitsu skills relating to espionage and assassination were highly useful to warring factions in feudal Japan (around 1000 years ago). Traditionally Ninja used non-detection (keeping a low profile), avoidance, and misdirection together with stealth and deception to confuse and escape, hence their typically black keikogi (稽古着) or dōgi (道着) or keikoi (稽古衣) rather than the traditional white seen with other martial arts.
With regular training a person becomes self-aware of their physical body and how it can move to advantage. The mind develops spatial intelligence. A ‘black belt’ is more than just a collection of skill sets and techniques, it is the mastery of self-awareness and understanding of the body and the mind as a connected system.
Martial Arts have an important role in the preservation of some nation’s intangible cultural heritage in the same way as language dialects, dance, music, rituals, crafts and traditions.
In addition to instruments, objects, artifacts and cultural spaces the Intangible Cultural Heritage includes the practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, skills – such as a countries own Martial Art/s.
All martial arts have a history and provide participants with a sense of identity and continuity from Sensei to student as they progress through their coloured belt system of advancement.

Instead they developed improvised bladed tools as weapons for protection. Even today people in Palau, use the termchad ra oles, for Filipinos meaning “people of the knife” because of Filipinos’ reputation for carrying knives and using them to fight.

My 15-year-old nephew was being bullied by a couple of boys at school, who were jealous because of his academic achievements. It all went sour when one of them videoed a physical attack and posted it on social media. Someone reported it to the police and the boys in question were arrested and charged by the police with assault. They now face the justice system.
My nephew’s parents discovered what had been happening at school and decided to enroll him in Muay Thai classes. He really enjoys attending and has excelled. Now he has no fear of his attackers as he can confidently protect himself. His confidence and self-esteem has benefited, and he has a girlfriend too.
Generally, the younger boys and girls start learning self-defense the better.
Imagery, or creative visualization techniques are used by elite sports people everywhere to better achieve their goals. It is mental rehearsal with repetition of exactly what they want to experience in reality.
Repeated imagery can build confidence in an athlete’s ability to perform skills and perform them under pressure.
As with physical practice sessions mental visualization’s can train the mind to rehearse, as if real, the performance of martial arts skills and successful competition performances.
For best results these scenarios should include visual (images), kinesthetic (physical body feelings), and auditory (sounds). These sensory details assist to make the visualization compelling and as if real for the deep unconscious mind (which does not understand the difference between reality and imagined scenarios. That is why they should be as realistic as possible).
Researchers have been studying the impact of imagery on sports performance and publishing their findings in sports psychology books and papers.
In psychology, the deep unconscious mind is often referred to as ‘the child within’. Like a child, the deep unconscious is not logical. It does not understand time or reality. Just like a small child, a simple message repeated often enough will eventually become a new deep unconscious belief.
The ‘adult’ logical conscious mind usually filters incoming information. So, if it does not ‘fit with’ current beliefs it may be rejected, and not passed down to the deep unconscious for processing and storage as long term memories Welcome Better Martial Arts subliminal affirmations are skillfully written messages, professionally camouflaged below music or environmental foreground sounds, so the logical conscious mind cannot hear them (and therefore cannot filter them out either.

There are an endless supply of pills, devices, techniques, and surgery for penis enlargement. None of them have been proved successful. While some have short-term results, none work permanently. Some can cause lasting disfigurement. Many are nothing less than scams.
Devices include vacuum pumps, stretching devices such as weight’s. There are an almost endless supply of unproven pills and supplements, None of these pills are manufactured, tested, or approved by government authorities. We don’t know anything about where they are manufactured, or what chemicals are in them. We place about as much trust in these pills and supplements as some addicts do the illicit drug dealer down the street.
I regularly find spam emails promoting these penis enlargement pills in my junk file. They make fantastic claims (such as “grow your penis 2 inches in 4 weeks”), unsupported by research or facts.

Penis Enlargement Facts
The erectile tissue in a penis is a spongy material called corpus cavernosum. It fills with blood causing an erection. The penis does not contain fat. So be aware of promises that adding fat to the penis with surgery will make it larger. It won’t.
Perhaps you have seen the hypnosis MP3 download web sites where they claim they can direct fat cells into the penis and make it larger, using hypnosis? Those web sites are a scam, and give real hypnotists a bad name. Those products do not work. They cannot work because the penis does not contain fat cells.
A registered nurse friend, working in another country, told me how several young military men were admitted into the hospital emergency department at the same time. They had all injected their penises with hardware silicone sealant, usually used for waterproofing bathrooms and kitchens. The physical damage they caused to themselves was so severe they risked amputation. WARNING: Never inject anything into your penis. Never let anyone inject anything into their penis without medical supervision.
Surgeries where they inject fat from other parts of the body into the penis not only disfigure its appearance (and who wants an ugly penis?) but within months of surgery, the fat has been reabsorbed by the blood. Currently, that type of surgery is a painful waste of time and money.
Welcome Penis Enlargement
The Mayo clinic warns that while penis vacuum pumps draw blood into the penis, making it swell temporarily, using one too often or for too long can damage the spongy tissue in the penis, leading to permanent soft ‘limp dick’ erections.
Stretching devices and weights used to stretch the penis can tear the spongy corpus cavernosum material. Claims of growth of one-half inch up to as much as 2 inches in length have been made. However, if these claims are true they were apparently achieved following months of consistent stretching exercises taking as much as 6 hours a day. If these claims are true, then they take dedication and time few of us can afford.
The penis is not a muscle. Therefore, it cannot grow in size with exercise in the same way as muscles do. The only possible exercise for penis enlargement is stretching. However, there has been no definitive scientific research to proves stretching actually works.
For most men the penis size they have at the end of puberty is the size they will have for the rest of their life. But that need not be the case for you.
Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles with Kegel exercises, which are responsible for controlling and restricting the blood flow which causes increased blood pressure. It can potentially stretch the corpus cavernosum and eventually create larger erections. This is because the penis is not just the external/visible structure. That is only half of it. The other half extends inside, almost as far back as the anus. Kegel exercises actually strengthen the ‘root’ of the penis, resulting in better control and responsiveness of the external structure.
Research proves that Kegel exercises can, in fact, overcome both Premature Ejaculation (PE) and Erectile Dysfunction (ED). They also prevent Urinary Incontinence, stronger orgasms in men, and the ability to control and hold an erection for longer periods of time. For this reason, we recommend you take a few minutes in every day to do Kegel exercises for a period of no less than 6 months. It is free! At Internet Hypnosis dot Shop we have included Kegel exercise instructions with every Penis Enlargement Bundle.
It is not yet proven by research that Kegel exercises can actually cause the penis structure to grow larger, but there is absolutely no harm in trying. There are no negative side effects and many benefits if you follow the instructions.
Online surveys show that wearing loose-fitting, or no underwear (free-balling) seems to increase penis length by perhaps one-half inch, over time. It is risk free.
Logic follows that attaching a weight of some kind to the end of the penis could perhaps increase the stretching of the corpus cavernosum and eventually create larger erections. WARNING: Attaching weights to the penis with the intention of stretching can cause tissue rupture and tearing, resulting in permanent damage to the corpus cavernosum. For this reason, while it may or may not be effective for some men, we do not recommend it.
A lot of good things have been said about the more gentle Jelqing exercises. It is a gentle hand stretching exercise accompanied by warm to hot wraps before and after the daily procedure. Apparently it can increase either length or thickness over time. It takes many months and dedication to achieve and maintain. I have personally chatted with a few different guys online who say they achieved amazing results with this approach. (none were trying to sell me anything) I also have a friend who has tried it and achieved encouraging results, however, he said the procedure takes daily dedication over a period of many months. Various Jelqing devices or machines, to make the process simpler are available online. Warning: Jelqing can have very real physical dangers to penile health if instructions are not followed precisely. The process takes dedication and a lot of work. No one says it is easy, but it seems more men achieve satisfactory results if they follow instructions precisely, including the critical warm to hot wraps before and after the daily procedure. At Internet Hypnosis dot Shop we have included Jelq exercise instructions with every Penis Enlargement Bundle.
A well-balanced intake of vitamins and minerals will be more beneficial to your overall health and well being, and perhaps natural penis enlargement? Avoiding certain foods, such as sugar, fats, and tofu may help too.

“I had a young man come to see me about his lack of confidence and self-esteem problems. Eventually, he opened up about his problem. His girlfriend had told her friends that he had a small penis. Those girls told their boyfriends and it spread through the social grapevine, eventually looping back to him again. He was devastated and highly embarrassed. He offered to show his equipment to me to prove his problem. I declined his offer and instead asked him some relevant questions. Then I explained some simple ‘home-truths’ to him. For starters, he was a ‘grower’ not a ‘shower’. His penis looked small when flaccid. However, when he was fully erect he told me he was about five and a half inches, which is within the ‘average’ range. I also explained that his girlfriend may have been watching too many porno movies starring over-sized, rather than average guys. It was more likely a statement about her inexperience and naivety. I suggested an honest discussion with his friends would probably reveal most of them, just like him, are within the average range too. We then did some therapy to banish his unconscious fears and anxiety. We then built his self-confidence. I happened to meet him again a year-or-so later while shopping. He was happy and smiling and told me he was in a great relationship, and never gave the small penis thing a thought anymore.”
Peter Zapfella
I recently had a 14-year-old boy tell me he is small ‘down there’. I hope I dispelled concern by telling him “All 14-year-olds and 15-year-olds think they are small ‘down there’. The truth is they are not all going through puberty at the same time, and like our nose’s penises also come in many shapes and sizes. ” I did not ask him what size he is when erect. At his age that is irrelevant, and I think inappropriate. I was more interested in his self-confidence. (concern and embarrassment about changes in the body are a form of body dysphoria in pubescent boys, who witness their bodies developing, and naturally compare themselves to others) He needed to stop comparing himself to videos and images he would have found online, of well-endowed men.
I suggested he might consider doing Kegel exercises and ‘free balling’ to add some penis length over time. Truth is, he almost certainly had some further genital growth to come.
Many guys think they have a small penis, and this then plays upon their confidence and self-esteem. It may impact their sexual performance too. In the locker room, some guys may appear to be larger while flaccid, however, when erect it is about the same size. We call them ‘showers’. Other guys appear smaller when flaccid. Yet when they are erect their penis is much much larger. We call them ‘growers’.
I am aware some guys appear larger in the showers because they are experiencing a ‘soft on’ (a semi erect penis), because they are excited by being surrounded by other naked guys.
You can at least give the illusion of a larger penis by trimming or shaving pubic hair, and losing excess tummy fat.
You can also give the illusion of a larger penis when clothed (including when wearing bathers and underwear) by wearing a penis ‘cup’.
Cricket players wear a similar device called a‘box’to protect their genitals in the event of a ball impact.
There are a range of men’s underwear available (which can be worn under swimming bathers and sportswear) that are designed to lift the testicles and ‘push them out’, thereby giving the illusion of a larger package.
Penis Enlargement. Men’s underwear designed to make the package appear larger.Almost instant enlarged penis package on display. It is all in the underwear.
That takes care of the illusion of an enlarged penis. The physical appearance, when clothed. But how do you look and feel when naked? You should consider important physiological and emotional issues around your actual penis size.
Penis Confidence
The most important factor in love-making starts with ‘P’. No, it is not penis, it is personality. Women like guys who are confident. Many women say it is not the size that counts, but how a man uses what he has. Focus upon being an excellent lover, starting with romance and foreplay.
If my young client had confidence, romance and effective foreplay and potent sexual technique his social grapevine would have been abuzz with that, and the size of his equipment would not have featured at all.
Common or slang names for the penis include; boner & clarinet & dick & dipstick or dong or donga or erection or fire hose or fuck pole or fuck rod or fuck stick. Also genitalia and hard on and horn and hotdog and hunh or johnson and joystick or junk and knob plus lingam and love muscle or love stick sometimes manhood or meat and old boy. Some say one eyed snake or organ or pecker or pee wee. Of course penis and phallus perhaps pole or prick and privates, maybe prong or pud or putz or rod and roger or rooter. Foodies might say salami or sausage and schlong or sex organ and Shaft or snake or stalk or stiff or stifie and thing also tool and weenie and whang and wiener or willy. These names move in and out of popularity. The currently wood is on top.
Great sex is as much psychological as it is physical, perhaps more.

Our unconscious mind gathers information to create beliefs. These beliefs drive our behaviors and emotions too. Our unconscious mind is the ‘foreman’ of metabolism. So, we can create unconscious emotions and beliefs, which cannot only influence our self-esteem and confidence, but also the potential to influence the physical body.

Feeling lonely is caused by isolation and a disconnection from the person or people you feel connected. Plus, it is a feeling of sadness that can lead all the way to depression. You can feel lonely while surrounded by other people who mean nothing to you.
I remember once, when I was aged 17, I was stuck in Australia’s largest city – Sydney for one day. I was waiting for my flight out, and decided to visit some of the tourist hotspots scattered around the city by myself.
Sydney
I realised I felt something alien to me – it was loneliness. Here I was in a city filled with millions of people and I was lonely. I started talking to an American couple who were also visiting a tourist spot. They quickly turned away. I felt so rejected.
The whole experience was surreal to me at that time. Some people feel loneliness like that all the time, even when with their friends and family. They feel a disconnect.
We all value loneliness from time to time. Some enjoy the feelings of isolation, and peaceful solitude. I have observed that having grown up in a rural environment with only my immediate family around me, I am happy in my solitude, and can imagine myself being contented in a world with no other people, in truth that may not be true. If I was totally alone, I would eventually go mad. I only need think of hapless Ben Gunn in the Robert Louis Stevenson story of Treasure Island.
I have friends who seem to need to have other people around them almost all the time – otherwise they slip into depression quickly. They need social interaction. They need to hear sounds in the background.
I had been living in suburban Melbourne for years. Although I was in a beachside suburb there were millions of people around me. I actually felt a little vulnerable to think what might happen if the social fabric were to break down in a pandemic or worse.
I decided to make the move back to the country, establish a vegetable garden and catch fish in the river – a back to my roots ‘sea change’. I found an old farmhouse to rent for just $10 a week located on 50 acres. The King River flowed along one boundary and there was plenty of work available on vineyards in the valley.
Two friends, who came from rural backgrounds moved with me. The nearest neighbours houses were out of sight. After work we would swim in the river naked. Unspoiled nature surrounded us. We joined two different meditation groups. It was bliss.
A friend came up from Melbourne to stay for the weekend. First thing on Saturday morning he was packing his bags to go home. Why go home so soon? He said the deafening silence kept him awake all night. He had to get back to the unrelentless noise of the city.
Later I married and we bought a farm in the same vicinity. My wife had a friend come to stay from Melbourne. The same thing happened. She acknowledged the beauty of the valley yet felt uneasy and unsafe in our isolation.
Some people prefer rural isolation, they do not feel lonely. Others feel uneasy, unsafe and vulnerable in the country – and feel a need to get back to the city as fast as possible.
Fear of rejection or feelings of being ‘different’
Starting out in a new community
Lack of purpose or meaning in life
Language or cultural barriers
Geographic isolation and distance
Feeling lost in a crowd
Perhaps the first step in overcoming your own feelings of loneliness is to identify the reasons for your feelings. Having done that, you can avoid those triggers, if you can.
Loneliness is usually empowered by feelings of unhappiness, so one effective way to avoid feeling lonely is to avoid feeling sadness. Other people’s feelings of loneliness are also influenced by their self-esteem, self-worth, fears, and confidence issues. Perhaps they are wandering through life without any sense of purpose? Identify what the issues are for you and do something about it. Take control of your life – for the better.
Free From Feeling Lonely; The solution.
Challenge yourself to escape the loneliness vortex by taking small steps, such as chatting to sales staff at retail stores.
Get out and about. Go to a park (and share a bench seat), the mall (and chat with sales assistants). Go to a café (and share a table).
Get a pet or offer to take care of someone else’s pet. (It is amazing how many people will stop and chat with someone who is walking a dog. You should try it).
Accept every invitation which might pull you out of the loneliness spiral.
Listen to your favorite music. Sing out loud.
Sign-up for a course of study that interests you.
Write a journal. Write poetry. Write a book.
Get into a craft or creative endeavor such as art.
Join a sporting club.
Challenge yourself to learn a musical instrument or a new language.
Volunteer to help others.
You can use technology, including social media to maintain a connection with your loved ones, the people you feel most connected.
You can build new bridges to people who until now you had no connection.
You can join social, sporting, religious, political, or ideological clubs and groups who share similar interests to you, thereby connecting with individuals to whom you are attracted.
You can contact a helpline in your area to talk to a support worker about how you feel.
Be proactive in your own life. Refuse playing the victim. (Actor Gavin MacLeod always played ‘the victim’ role in TV. He described his character on McHale’s Navy with Ernest Borgnine as a character with only “two lines a week” and was sometimes simply used as a prop: “Sometimes they’d have me stand there. They’d shoot on a back lot, and they’d use me to cover something they didn’t want anybody to see on the back lot.” So he quit the show. Then he won the role of ship’s captain Merrill Stubing on the hit TV series The Love Boat. He then became the confident and dependable hero.

He never looked back. His work on that show earned him three Golden Globe nominations. MacLeod became the global ambassador for Princess Cruises in 1986. He played a role in ceremonies launching many of the line’s new ships.)

First, you will need to prepare yourself with qualifications and experience.
The Internet can work for you and against you when applying for your new dream job.
The Intern et can work with you or against you when applying for your new dream job.
Check your social media and remove any posts that could hurt your reputation.
Google search your own name (as your new employer may do as part of their selection process) to see what might be floating around in cyber space that you do not know about.
Are there other social media posts or web sites that say something or show photos that you do not want your potential employer looking into?
They used to say do not mention religion, politics or relationships (sex). Today social media is full of it. Does any of it refer to you and could be embarrassing or even damaging to your reputation.
Search your name under photos and videos too. You never know what might be out there in cyber space until you search.
Be prepared to ‘take it down’, if you can, or request someone to do it for you.
Otherwise, be prepared to explain it during your job interview if they ask.
Normally you need to identify your new dream job, or a job that will lead to it, create a custom CV, and cover letter that will ensure your best chance of an interview, then when you are happy with it submit. If possible, avoid phoning or emailing on a Friday or Monday. (On Friday their minds are on the weekend not you, on Monday they are unhappy to be back at work and they have a backlog of work they did not do on Friday. So, your application will not appeal to them no matter how good you think it is). Mid-week is better because they are in the swing of it.
Your new dream job application stress and anxiety.
You may be suffering from job search anxiety, a very real phenomenon where you may be feeling a lot of self-doubt, and fear of failure, hopeless or even rejected.
At Internet Hypnosis dot Shop we can help you with that.
Winning your new dream job is about having the right positive attitude and approach. Employers are looking for the applicant who has;
Your CV must ‘stand-out’ from the crowd, and demonstrate your unique skill set, acumen, background, confidence, and passion that your employer is seeking, without being overbearing or intense.
Never never invent qualifications, experience and referees. Keep it real.
Researchers tell us the ideal CV is one page, however you must list all relevant qualifications and experience so do not leave them out.
Studies indicate they spend as little as 8 seconds looking at your CV, so use bullet points and an easy-to-read layout.
Obviously, spell check your CV and get someone to proofread it for logic and grammar errors.
A study at Wichita State University found that people associate Times New Roman and Arial with stability, while Courier New and Georgia represent maturity.
Keep your CV succinct. Use short sentences. Word perfect. Avoid rambling. Include a brief personal summary to sell your skills and achievements. Use real examples, that can be backed up, to impress your potential employer.
All the jobs you have listed on your CV need accurate dates. Avoid leaving any unexplained gaps.
Tailor your application to your dream job. Give your potential new employers a little introduction to your personality.
They are looking for the person who shares their corporate values, vision, and ethos. Do your own due diligence and demonstrate to them through your application, personal web site, social media, and CV that you are that person.
Be aware they will look at your professional and personal social media activity, so clean it up now. Remove any and all political, religious, aggressive, or disrespectful posts. See https://www.scrubber.social.
Some recruitment experts advise including your social media links as a way to add another layer of depth to your application.
Deliver a custom CV and personalized application letter to every prospective employer. DO NOT copy and paste applications from one to another, unless you are not interested in being awarded the job.
Think about the file name on your CV. Demonstrate that you are detail-orientated enough to have given the file a professional-looking name.
The email account you send your CV from should be your name, not <fluffy.duck69> or worse.
Never ask about renumeration in your first interview. Let them whittle down applicants until you are in the final few. Then ask.
When you get to the final interview have your CV printed in colour on quality paper in a professional folder to leave with them.
Highlight your achievements – not job descriptions. They want to hear about your outstanding awards, promotions, sales figures, and targets won.
Research the business as much as they will research you,. Speak their language – use their industry jargon and terminologies back at them. Make them feel that you are already one of the team.
When you are given the opportunity to ask questions stay away from the stock standard questions everyone has already asked them that day. If you go down that well-trodden path, you will soon be lost forever in their eyes.
Be ready to ask probing questions about what they talked about – dig deeper.
Or stand out from the crowd by asking questions based on their listed responsibilities for the position you are being interviewed for. If possible, an area you feel you are interested in and perhaps experienced in – so they can recognise your interest and potential value.
When asked if you have any questions, you are being given a ‘golden’ opportunity to show that you are the ideal person for the job. Truth is, you may already know the answers, but you are demonstrating your superior suitability over other applicants.
When they are assessing all the applicants, they interviewed you want them to be talking about you, and how impressed they were with your intelligent, relevant question.
It is normal to feel anxious before your interview. Yet, it is better to also feel quietly confident (not ‘cocky’).
Listen to the ‘Welcome Your Dream Job’ MP3 every day, to develop your focus, confidence, and ‘ownership’ of your new dream job.

Many years ago I had a young woman come to me, so she must have realized something was wrong. She told me she wanted a position as a women’s clothing boutique manager. I asked her what position she was already working in the fashion industry. She said “I have never worked in the industry. I do not have a job. I have never had a job since leaving school.”
“Alright. It is good to have a plan of action. First you need to get in the door. Perhaps as a sales assistant. Learn the job and strive to be the best you can.”
“No. I wont do that.” She said. “I want to be the boss. I want to be the manager – not a sales assistant. I wont do that.”
“Hmmm … are you saying you want someone who owns a boutique to give you a managerial position from day one, with no experience at all?” I asked.
“Yes, of course,” she replied with indignation.
“So, what makes you think someone should risk their business in your hands?” I asked.
“My father told me I am a gift to anyone. If I want it, I can have it. I want to be a manager of a fashion boutique. So I want you to hypnotize me so I can get my dream job.”
“I see. is your father in the fashion business?” I asked and then added. “It can certainly help if you know the right people.”
“My father knows nothing about fashion. He is a plumber.”
The young lady had listened to her loving father repeat statements based more in love for his daughter than real world fact. She actually believed him.
As a young plumbers apprentice he would have worked for years with minimal pay to learn the job from the ground up. He would have attended trade school to learn the more technical aspects of his chosen career. For him it was a planned strategy of preparation to eventually become a fully qualified and licensed plumber.
He demonstrated his passion for the job over a period of years. He had the emotions and the self talk to keep going and work his plan. Through experience he developed the professional skills and knowledge.
Truth is he had done her a misdeed by incorrectly telling her she could do anything she wanted without working for it. Without education or experience.
I could have taken her money by doing as she wanted, by hypnotizing her to believe fashion boutique owners would give her a managerial position, without any experience in the industry. However, she already believed that just because her father had told her she could do anything.
Instead, I advised her to go get a job as a junior sales assistant (in any retail outlet that would employ her) before she got any older, and gain experience, and make valuable networking contacts. Therefore, working her way up toward her goal in achievable steps, just as her father had done as an apprentice plumber.
She was unhappy with what I had to tell her, although it was true. I guess, in time she would realise I gave her good, truthful advice. Perhaps she was aware I believe in ‘manifesting’ however I am pragmatic too.
No boutique owner would ever come knocking on her door and say, “I was just walking through your neighborhood and a gut feeling told me that you are the person I have been looking for my entire life. Let me offer you your new dream job as manager of my boutique.”
This is how it happens when you manifest your new dream job. A true story.
When I was aged 22 I worked on the front desk of one of the top international hotels in Melbourne. I was the young man in a formal suit who greeted people as they came to reception. In the job I met many world-famous celebrities and had a few embarrassing ‘incidents’ such as a Hollywood movie star making a sexual pass at me when we were alone in the elevator. But the truth is, I was painfully unhappy in my job because my immediate boss disliked me and made my job a living hell. I wanted out.
At the same time I was a volunteer in a government sponsored rescue service. One of their headquarters staff was transferring to the police force and his position was becoming vacant, so I decided to apply for my dream job.
I had already attended relevant courses and already had a very good reputation in the headquarters, so I was confident. My job interview went well – I knew the two interviewers. I felt my dream job was mine.
However, as the weeks went by following my interview, I heard nothing. There was not a hint from the interviewers although I saw them from time to time. I put that down to their professionalism.
I remained confident and expectant I would win my new dream job. I constantly energised my new dream job with positive expectation. I never once had any doubt. (Interest and enthusiasm in my job at the hotel had died. Energetically I had already left the room).
Suddenly, from out of the blue I got the phone call. “Are you available and when can you start?” “Monday” I enthusiastically replied.
Apparently, they had awarded the job to someone else. But somehow it did not work out. I was second on the list, so I got the call. I was confident my dream job was mine all along, and it was.
I felt absolutely elated when I submitted my resignation from the hotel. I was vindicated because my immediate boss, who had relied on me to ‘carry him through’ was suddenly faced with doing his job without my support.
‘Swim faster or sink’ I said as I walked out the door for the last time.
I had the great advantage of knowing the organisation from the inside, and the people who would make the eventual hiring decision. Of course, you likely will not have that advantage.
How To Be Number One in Poll Position
However, there is a little-known method for winning an advantage over other applicants.
Get known by the recruiter or a hiring manager BEFORE you submit your application, perhaps even before the job is advertised.
Recruiters will often take the easy pathway by looking at suitable applicants they already have on their books before they go to the next step and advertise. You can potentially put yourself in front of their minds when recommending applicants for an interview to the employer.
If you have a company or companies in mind as your target employer call and ask who does their job recruitment. But first check out their web site, the information may be there already (usually way down at the bottom of the title page in tiny font size).
Put together your CV and a cover letter and submit it early (but not on a Friday or Monday) so it is in the system, on their desk, before the job vacancy is handed to them to fill. Bye-the-way, offer to be available on the phone for a chat or to come in for a face-to-face meeting. Chatting on the phone or meeting makes a hell of a difference. I did not tell you this, however some people actually arrange a ‘chance meeting’ with the recruiter in a social situation. (In the NLP world they say some people need contact up to 6 times before they feel comfortable. But do not overdo it). You can help to make their job easier and beat the other potential applicants.
It is as if you are racing in Formular One, and you are in poll position, way ahead of the pack.
If possible, do as I did and get known by the people on the ground, inside the company or organisation.
Do you know people, perhaps people with some influence or inside knowledge, inside the company or organisation? How can you get to know them and make a good impression, perhaps through their social, hobby or sporting interests? The smartest applicants are always building relevant networks.
It has the potential to short-circuit hundreds of disappointing job applications that seem to evaporate before your very own eyes.
Your New Dream Job Strategy
Here is a giveaway technique for dramatically improving your chances of winning your ideal job at the next interview. I assume you are suitably qualified and experienced for the position, and just want to put yourself at the top of the list in your potential new employer’s mind.
It is hypnotic influencing method and goes like this;
On the day of the interview wear appropriate clothes for the position you seek. It is usually better to over dress rather than under dress.
As you make the usual pleasantries with the interviewing employer practice ‘matching and mirroring’without making it too obvious.
Speak at the same (or similar) pace as the interviewer. Reflect how they speak back to them in a way that will make them feel comfortable about you. If they speak quickly, then so should you. On the other hand, if they speak slowly you should slow it down to their pace. Let them feel that you are much the same as you in many different ways. If they speak softly, do the same.
Before the employer gets started on their own questions ask them: “The job I’m here about today sounds …. just like me. So …. I know what is expected of me, can you run through a typical day and tell me what ….. I will be doing in more detail, and what you expect from me ….. from the ….. start of my work here?”
The employer wants to talk about the business and … your role in it. So they will invariably start telling you all the things ….. you will be doing in the job throughout a typical day. Use your own body language to show your interest and encouragment. (leaning forward, arms open, a smile, a nod of understanding and friendly agreement)
The employer will, of course be mentally putting you ALREADY in the job, ALREADY working among the rest of the employees and company clients, etc.
And so, while it seemslike a harmless question for the boss to answer – by answering it the employer is essentially mentally ACCEPTING and picturing (and almost selling) themselves on you actually having the job.
Later when assessing applicants, you will stand out in front of the others in the employer’s mind.
More and more interviews are taking place online.
Tips for a successful video interview.
Have a neutral yet authentic background. Free from distractions. Avoid anything that moves, including curtains blowing in the wind.
Wear professional attire, what you would normally wear in a face-to-face interview.
Get your devices and programs ready well before the interview. That also means getting children and pets out of the room. No distractions.
Use positive body language. Sit up straight, Use eye contact. Smile.
Focus and pay attention., You should not need to ask the interviewer to repeat their questions.
Engage with the interviewer. Show interest and be prepared to ask intelligent/relevant questions.
Stay on topic by keeping your answers and questions concise and relevant.
Discuss how you overcame challenges in your previous positions.
Demonstrate how you were involved in innovative way to improve business, and how you can bring these acquired experiences and skills to this role.
When asked about your current or past jobs never blame or complain. Always remain positive and upbeat.
Never gossip. They are looking for a team player.
If asked a tricky question never reply with ‘Ummm… Arr‘ or stoney silence. Instead say ‘Good question. Let me think about that’.
Research everything you can before the interview about the company and the position you are applying to fill.
Let them know what can you bring to the company? How can you be of value to them?
At the end of the interview, when asked ‘Do you have any question’s?” Be prepared with intelligent relevant questions but stay away from the usual – be unique and memorable.
Be compelling. Be interesting. Be professional.
If they use phrases such as ‘work hard, play hard’, ‘fast-paced environment’, or ‘must handle pressure well’ they could be red flags, unless you thrive on stress.
A survey from Resume Builder found 4 in 10 companies use artificial intelligence (AI) to “talk with” candidates in job interviews. Of those companies, 15 per cent said hiring decisions are be made with no human input. If that is true it is scary.
Employers who use AI systems for recruitment claim they are used to cross quotidian tasks off a recruiter’s daily schedule; AI helps weed through the top 1,000 applicants, but once they get down to the final 10, it becomes a human process.
Experts advise job applicants to act as if they are speaking to a human during AI-led interviews, although that is easier said than done.
Ty lives in Washington DC in the USA. Following his AI lead interview he said, “It was creepy.”
Ty found himself talking to a computer-generated ‘Siri’ voice over the phone. Although it tried to pass itself off as a living, breathing human the interviewer was obviously a robot with a rather rude habit. It asked Ty all the right questions – what’s your management style? are you a good fit for this role? – but it would cut Ty off before he could answer the questions.
“After cutting me off, the AI would respond, ‘Great! Sounds good! Perfect!’ and “Let’s move on to the next question,” Ty said. “After the third or fourth question, the AI just stopped and told me that the interview was over.”
It did not give him time to answer the questions and it did not give him any opportunity to ask the robot questions. What is worse, the robot claimed to be human, which it obviously was not. Ty found it was disturbing and an insult to his intelligence.
Adele Walton, is a 24-year-old journalist and content creator from Brighton, England. She recently sat through an on screen AI interview that felt extremely unnatural. “I expected a person or a panel,” she said.
Instead, questions flashed on the screen that showed her own face. She was given 60 seconds to answer, with a countdown clock. “In an in-person meeting, you get more social prompts from the other person,” she said. “In this case, I was just talking to myself with no measure of how I was doing. I couldn’t read anyone’s face, body language, or see them nod yes. That type of human reassurance that you get in a real interview is completely lost when companies outsource interviews out to AI.”
Watching her own face as she answered, and the countdown clock were a total distraction which made her feel uncomfortable.
Higher-ups in the corporate world rarely apply for jobs – at a certain pay grade, they network instead. Lower-level job applicants will see more and more AI interviews.
Human Resources (HR) is the poor cousin in the corporate world. If they can cut budgets anywhere it starts in HR. If it is perceived a robot can do the tasks of a human, and it is cheap, they will use it.
In the future these AI robot interviewers will have access to all your online personal details. They will know more about you during your interview than almost everyone you know. So, you must be prepared for it.
If you find yourself facing an AI robot interview on the phone or the screen (perhaps one day they will be ‘face to face’ AI holographic projections). just relax and be yourself. Behave exactly as you would if it were a real human and keep your responses brief and to the point.
Sometimes face-to-face interviews with a real, breathing, human can go wrong too.
I was on a train on my to work in a clinic when I overheard a young man talking on his phone. He was apparently returning from a job interview and was very upset. about what had happened.
He had been told he would not be accepted for the position because he had visible tattoos on his neck. He could not understand how that would impact his position in sales for the company. He might have been the perfect candidate for the job, but his tattoos were a ‘No No’ as far as his potential employer was concerned.
If you have tattoos cover them up. wear long sleeves if that will hide them. Do not reveal them until you are well established and beyond any probation period in your job.
Talking about probation, if you have any criminal record – be upfront about it. They may do a search, so better you get in first. Be prepared to explain that it was a mistake in your past and you except it now as a valuable learning experience. Outline how you are repaying society by volunteering and doing community service. (If you are not, you should be) Sometimes employers will let people with a record, even jail to prove themselves – and give them the job. They will respect you for being upfront about it. Just don’t boast. Say it, reply briefly to questions, and move on.
If you did the crime and paid with time, you should be able to earn a dime.
No matter you should be volunteering in some community service as part of your Resume. If you do not know how or where to go – ask your local municipal office for directions.
Be up front and honest during your interview.
I had just completed a full season growing tobacco. Picking was a complete success; we beat the frosts. Winter was fast approaching. I did not want to spend another winter in the snow pruning grape vines. So, I applied for a job in a nearby factory where they manufactured material and dyed it and printed it for milliners.
First, I sat through timed tests to determine my recognition of colours and patterns. At my next interview I was told I had the top score among the applicants. How many applicants were there? No idea, although I know there was at least one other.
I did not tell the guy interviewing me that I had just completed a season in the tobacco fields, perhaps I should have? My ear canals were packed full of beautiful, rich, plantation soil. Then he may have realised I had not heard half the things he was saying to me. I was trying to lip read him, but I knew I had failed because of the strange facial expressions he had as I replied to what I thought he had said.
However, when I went out to the factory floor where everyone was wearing headphones and helmets with goggles – I could clearly hear them shouting at each other.
They pointed out guys in what looked like radioactive white suits with breathing apparatus inside a concrete bunker. They explained the chemicals they used when mixed could be explosive and if directly exposed to the skin, or inhaled, could be carcinogenic.
I quickly realised the money they paid was not worth the risk to my immediate and long-term health, so I politely refused the job.
“But you are a volunteer fireman. Surely you don’t mind at all?”
Just as well I refused because within days, I won a contract with a multinational company that paid incredible money (for hard work). I was able to buy a four-wheel drive vehicle and build a two-story house as a result.
I never picked tobacco or pruned grape vines again. Rumor mongers in the local bar said I was growing marijuana crops and that was where all my money was coming from, I laughed. If only they knew I manifested my dream job.
Welcome Your New Dream Job positive affirmations have been written to inspire your deep unconscious mind to focus upon positive change. These subliminal messages are simply ‘veiled’ from the conscious mind within masking music or environmental sounds to prevent conscious analytical thinking. The more these messages are repeated, the more they are uncritically accepted by the unconscious. A simple message, repeated enough, will eventually become a new unconscious belief. This new belief will then inspire new behaviors.
