Welcome to the Paul Vette podcast, a podcast about leadership, mindset and hypnosis. Enjoy listening. The more powerful the emotion you link to a goal, the more likely it is that you'll actually achieve that goal. Many people want to be successful at something and many people also manage to reach a certain level with their head. The moment you come up with a certain objective with your head and you just follow the standard steps necessary to achieve that goal, in other words you copy someone else who has achieved that same goal or a similar goal and you look at 'hey, this is the goal and if I calculate all the way back to what you have to do today' and then tomorrow too and then every day again, then that result follows automatically.
But the moment you really attach a powerful emotional value to that objective, then you'll notice that you'll reach that goal many times faster than when you don't do that. Why is this so enormously powerful? Because the moment there's an emotional value attached to the goal, then your entire system will ensure that that goal is actually achieved. Just watch. You might know the example.
A mother who sees her child get trapped under a car and is suddenly strong enough to lift that car. Well, objective lifting a car for you or me, the chance is just quite small that you think I can manage that. It depends on how muscular and strong you are of course. But generally the chance isn't very great that you can do it. But the moment you're a father or mother and your child is trapped under a car, then primal forces are released and then the chance is suddenly there, depending on the car and depending on your build and your muscle strength.
There is some scientific foundation to it. It must be technically possible, but the moment I ask you now 'lift a car', then it doesn't happen. But the moment your child is lying under the car, then it suddenly does happen. And that's the emotional value you can use to also link to a goal. And now you can make that goal emotional by thinking about it, but then it still doesn't work.
It's about actually starting to feel it. Very simple example if I'm in the gym for instance. I want to lose some belly fat. I know you can't change that specifically, but the moment you get lower in body fat percentage, then eventually the belly fat also goes away. With hypnosis, it's never been proven, but who's to say it can't work, let me leave that in the middle.
But the moment I want to remove belly fat from myself, if I want to let that go, if I want to release that, and I'm doing kettlebell swings in the gym for example, so a kettlebell, such a heavy ball with a handle on it and I swing it from below me to above. I do that from my core, from the place where I want some belly fat to disappear. The emotional value I attach to it is enormously powerful, because I have to swing that kettlebell up again every time. And you just need strength for that, provided you take a reasonably heavy weight. That strength, that's also a certain feeling I create.
And the moment I say with that strength, okay, I'm activating my core with this, I'm activating my brown fat with this and I'm letting my white, old fat go. I always say, and it might sound a bit woolly, in love or from gratitude, because the moment you're angry at it, then it will actually cling to you. Something for another episode. But the moment I do that with that powerful, with that powerful feeling behind it of yes, no, I won't shout too loudly, because I don't know how you're listening to this. But then the chance is greater that it works than if I just think well yeah, I'm lifting that kettlebell a bit and I do that from my head.
The feeling you attach to it, you have to actually fully feel that through and as strongly as possible. So the moment you think, hey, I want to buy that one house. Okay, why do you want that? Yes, for my family. That's nice, that's logical, but do you think that with your head or do you feel that in your whole body?
Do you feel in everything okay, I want to give my family this one house, because I dare to assert to you, just do it now. Just take a goal you have where you think, okay, this has always been a goal I've wanted to achieve and you just think about it and you think about it, okay, I want to link that to something, maybe your family, maybe just yourself, maybe your self-worth, doesn't matter to me for now. And you just think about it or you attach that feeling to it that you really feel of yes, but I'm worth it too or my family is worth it. And you feel it in your heart and in your belly and you make that feeling stronger and then you think about that goal, then you basically immediately feel like turning this off and getting to work right away. And the moment you evoke that feeling every day, link the emotional value that lies beneath it to that goal and make that feeling enormously powerful in yourself, then you just watch what's going to happen.
Because of course, you can believe in the law of attraction in such a way that you sit with your eyes closed and you open your eyes and your goal is achieved. There are people who believe in that. I'm not saying that can't happen. It's never been scientifically proven that it can, but also not that it can't. Something that's negative, you can't prove namely.
But that aside. But I can guarantee you the moment you do this and you're going to internalize it in your whole system every day, that you'll eventually in the coming days, weeks suddenly perform different actions or that things just run a bit differently. So if you have your own business and you have sales calls for example, then you'll notice that your conversion gets just a bit higher. Or you suddenly bring in more leads. Or at a boss you suddenly get offered that raise or that higher position or a headhunter contacts you.
It doesn't matter, something is going to happen and that has to do with you putting the feeling behind it, behind that goal. And then things in your life just change and happen a bit. And I also want you to be sharp on that, that you're going to notice that of hey, I see these opportunities now or I seize these opportunities now or I take this action now and I let other actions that don't bring me towards my goal, I leave those behind instead. So just do this and make sure that you really with your whole being and then the emotional value you attach to it must also be strong enough for you. So the moment you just think, yeah, the moment I have that car, then my old neighbor boy from before, he'll also think I'm worth something.
The moment that's just such a thought, then it does nothing. If you really want to prove it to that neighbor boy because there's something underneath that, maybe even a slight trauma, yes, then you should actually use that as fuel. So get to work with it, really attach an enormously powerful emotional value to your goal and link that too, but especially feel it. And the moment you really start to feel why you actually want to achieve that goal, then you'll notice that something is going to change and then you become successful in your way. So I would say get to work.
I hope of course that you're doing well and I hope things are going well with your loved ones. And I wish you a beautiful day. Hi!
