How far away does your goal feel like? To go after “Ambitious goals”, this means you have to deal with the pain that comes from being “far away”. This leads to feelings of apathy, failure, and lack of urgency. This can also breed a feeling of “who cares….will I ever make it?”   Any goal worth having takes time. Listen and let these affirmations bleed into your subconscious and create feelings of confidence and control.   (0:00) Welcome to the G-Code   (0:55) Introduction to "Taste Blood"   (2:30) Hypnosis Track   (7:10) "Taste Blood" Affirmation Track   (12:27) Killer Instinct   Want to work with me?

In this debut mental conditioning series, I show you how to design your new dominant mindset by challenging negative beliefs with strategic and tactical affirmations. What happens when you set a goal, only to fall short again and again? What feelings show up for you? If you're not careful, you will develop feelings of failure and disappointment, and this will lead to more of the same. We must learn how to take control of our own minds, and condition the right emotions. I walk you through how to create your own "G-Code" -your mindset - in a way that feels good. Enjoy, and use this tool over and over in order to condition your mind. Take this tool seriously; as it is wildly effective. You will enjoy how you feel afterwards. Make sure to listen while sitting still. No driving while listening.
