Sixth Toastmasters Speech – NLP Hypnotic Story

Brett Dupree — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:54:56 +0000

I am really enjoying toastmasters. Just over a month ago I finished my 6th speech.

I enjoy studying NLP and I have been reading Richard Bandler and I decided that I would write my own version of a NLP Hypnotic story. I feel this was a really good first attempt. This is one of my favorite speeches that I wrote. In fact this one and my 5th speech are my favorite. When I finally get around to it I will record myself saying my fifth toastmaster speech and share it with you. Actually I still need to do my fourth speech as well.

Here is a link to my 1st and 2nd speech I did on toastmasters.

Here is my 6th toastmaster speech:

Integrity Perspective Two – Promises to yourself

Brett Dupree — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 21:08:18 +0000

Integrity is important if you want to live a joyful life. Having integrity means that you are living with a steadfast adherence to your strict moral and ethical code. If you are going to be a leader then having integrity is essential. It is hard to trust people who do not display integrity. Since we are all leaders in at least one way, integrity is a very important inner way of being intention for you to write. Especially since one of the people you have to lead is you. It all starts with you.

This blog series will be about three different perspectives of integrity. The second perspective is integrity with yourself.

Every time you tell yourself that you are going to do something and you do not do that something, you lose trust in yourself. One of the most popular ways people lose trust in themselves is the snooze alarm. Every time you set the alarm you are telling yourself that you are going to wake up at that time. Hitting the snooze alarm is a way you break the promise to yourself to wake up on time. Breaking enough promises to yours

elf causes you to not trust you. Then you might do things like treat yourself like a child and set your clock to a different time so you will be on time.

This damages you because every time you make plans you have to create new ways to trick yourself into doing what you want to do. This wastes a lot of energy because it is much easier to make a plan and follow through.

My Inner way of being intention:

With sage wisdom and inner joy I love myself by keeping promises to myself.

Homework:

Every time you make a promise to yourself and then break it write yourself an apology note to make it up to yourself. Build integrity with yourself so you will be able to reach your goals.

Celebrating My Favorite Person – ME

Brett Dupree — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 22:28:56 +0000

On August 28th I turned 32 years old. I am so happy that I have lived that long. I am enjoying my life and enjoying who I am.

What I celebrate more though is the day I made the decision. On my 26th birthday, 6 years ago, I was a frightened man who didn’t feel close to anyone. I remember looking at my life and where I was going. I envisioned that I was stuck in a prison of fear. A prison that I created. I made the decision that day to figure out how to fix myself. I felt broken.

I am so happy that I made the decision as I am now more joyful than I have ever been. Everyday I look for more reasons to feel good. Even when outside events might look like they are going down the drain, I can look at my life and notice the joy that is in it now and the joy that I can see in my future. I know that I am living a blessed life.

What decisions have you made that have made your life better?

Also here is a youtube clip of me celebrating my birth and my decision.

Integrity Perspective One – With other people

This blog series will be about three different perspectives of integrity. The first perspective is integrity with others.

It is said “if you never lie or fabricate the truth then it is easier to remember the course of events:” Not only does having integrity with other people free up space in your memory banks, it allows people to trust you. Have you ever had a boss who lied to you? I know from other people’s experience that having a boss that doesn’t follow through with their word does not make for a popular bosses.
Also if you ever had a friend who didn’t display integrity, they were someone you couldn’t trust. You label them as flaky and do not trust any words they say.

It all starts with you. You have to be a person of integrity. It feels good to be trusted and it is important if you want to live a positive life. When you are not trusted due to not constantly following through then you will not be surrounded by people with integrity. People with integrity do not want to hang around people without integrity.
Sometimes there are events that happen that cause you to not live up to your word. When that happens do not fret, own up to it and make amends.

My Inner Way of Being Intention:

With love for the people in my life, I am a person who lives up to his word, and so it is.

What is your intention for being integral with others?

Fun Practice – ABC Game

Brett Dupree — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 00:03:56 +0000

I am always excited when I find a practice that I enjoy using for myself. When I am living with more joy, everything in my life is just working out for the better. For the last two weeks I have been using the ABC game explained below by Esther Hicks who is channeling Abraham. Esther Hicks whose newest book is, Money and the Law of Attraction.

This game has been fantastic for me. I have been using this game every night before I go to sleep. What I like to do is to think of a word, I create a sentence that uses that word in a positive sense. Sometimes while doing this my mind will go off onto a tangent. When I do I just pick up right back where I left off and keep on going.

I have noticed when I do this I am getting better sleep at night and my dreams have been really positive. I love assigning fun homework assignments to my clients and I am really looking forward to assigning this one to see how much they like it.

Here is an example of me playing the game.

Wow what a feeling doing that game was during the day. I might be doing it more now. That was so much fun. I would love to see your video of you doing the ABC game.

I highly recommend you try this game out for a couple of weeks. Come back and comment on what it has done for you.

Go There First: Feel Good to Get Others to Feel Good

Brett Dupree — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 20:50:39 +0000

Imagine that you are in a room taking a test. In which situation are you most effective, freaking out and worrying about the test or being calm and realizing that everything is going to be fine?

Michelle Jump replied to my blog on Key #2 of a Joyful Life: Be Positively Selfish, “Wow so, you telling everyone to be selfish? When your sick you do need to take care of yourself but, when others are sick you need to take care of them.”

: Cover via Amazon

The answer to this is yes. I have a question for you. If your loved one gets sick do you try to get as sick as you can to help your friend?

Even the father of NLP, Richard Bandler, who wrote the book, Richard Bandler’s Richard Bandler’s Guide to Trance-formation: How to Harness the Power of Hypnosis to Ignite Effortless and Lasting Change, agrees with me. He states that the most important part of being an NLP practitioner is for the NLP practitioner to get into the feeling they want their client to get into first.

Being in a positive state is also very important when I am coaching. When a client of mine is frustrated, sad, or angry with their situation, I do not meet them in their negative feelings. Instead, I keep feeling good and viewing them as a whole, capable and healthy human being who can figure it out. I am being positively selfish, because I am putting my feelings first. When I put my joy first then I can best serve my clients.

Just like with the test, I am at my most effective as a life coach when I am feeling good about the situation. I am not adding my negative emotions to their already negative emotional self. I cannot feel bad enough to make them feel good.

Yes, be selfish. Feel as good as you can so you can be more effective when you help people. Clean up your baggage so you do not add more baggage to someone’s load.

My Inner Way of Being Intention:

With infinite wisdom of the source of who I am, I feel joy in any situation so I can best serve humanity for the benefit of all beings.

What is your intention on feeling good?

Celebrating My Life – Rampage of Appreciation

Celebrating My Life

One important part of living a joyful life and attracting what you want with the law of attraction is to enjoy your life as it is now.

Using the inspiration of Esther Hicks, who has written a book on the Law of Attraction, I am going to be doing a series of Rampages of Appreciation. I am going to do this to inspire myself to live the life I want to live. Also to inspire you to do the same. I am taking myself there first. The more Rampages I do the better I will get. It is my intention to help spread joy. That is the purpose of Joyous Expansion! I would love to see you post your own rampages of appreciation.

Want to Make Money Without Action?

Brett Dupree — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 05:29:39 +0000

Last month I posted a blog on the Law of Attraction is taught with action.

Esther Hicks who channels an entity known as Abraham has taken on the same topic in Chicago. You can read more of Esther Hicks in her books Ask and It is Given.

She mentions it perfect. When you are in the flow, there isn’t any effort. When you are living with inspiration then you will be taking a lot of action. A lot of action will be without effort. When you align your emotions first with what you want then everything will fall in place. You will focus on what you want with your mind, you will see the opportunities. You will not hesitate.

Here is the youtube links to her talk. Amazing!
