I drove to another country today. I live in England and drove to Wales. It doesn’t take too long – about an hour and a half. I made the most of my time alone in the car by listening to Covert Hypnosis: An Advanced Course in Unconscious Influence which contains some powerful material on subtly influencing people. I was travelling in our Mini Cooper, which is a great car for nipping around the city we live in, but not so relaxing for long journeys. If I had to do this journey every day I’d need a bigger car – more luxurious than sporty. The trouble is who can you trust when you buy a car.
My legs ached – in a nice way. I’d been to the gym the day before, but may have overdone it a bit. There’s no chance that I’m going to look like Mr Universe.
I got married in Wales, in a small village near Cardiff. The wedding was fantastic (of course I would say that). The lead-up to the wedding, however, was another story. The cost was being split 3 ways (two sets of parents and us) – BIG MISTAKE. If only I’d had a wonderfully wise wedding angel to guide me through the pitfalls.
Once with my client, business was quite quick. I utilised my best NLP selling skills, alongside tips from Bob Parsons, avoided customer objections, and impressed them with my Mont Blanc pen.
On the way back, I listened to Muse – quite a heavy (but classically trained) rock band. I turned the volume up, as you can in the car, but then moderated it a little – my Dad had suffered from Tinnitus, and I didn’t want to tempt fate. I had difficulty deciding on the way back whether to have a chocolate muffin or an apple. Health prevailed – we all know an apple a day is good for you.
I drove at 60 mph. I was low on petrol and driving at a reasonable speed was a great way to conserve fuel. I was keen to get back home. I had a blog to do and was keen to put in practice some superb blogging tips I’d learnt recently and some great ways to stand out from the blogging competition.
When I arrived home, the young babysitter looked very anxious. I could tell by her body language. The cats had been lying on my son’s bed as he slept, very close to his pillow, and she wasn’t sure what to do. I’d been reminded about the healing power of NLP just the previous day, and managed to pace and lead the babysitter into a more relaxed state. I suggested that she could get some superb guidance on babysitting if she really wanted to excel at babysitting.
It was way after midnight by the time I got to blog, I was tired and wanted my bed, but I had work to do, and I’d remembered reading recently that success takes hard work and was also inspired by a great football motivational speech. After blogging and commenting, I completed a quick Bugging In Survey, checked my progressive actions for the day, and headed for bed. No online dating for me tonight! At least tomorrow, the 22nd, would be an easy easy day.
So how do you get two whales in a Mini? … By driving straight down the M50 motorway!!
Sorry if I’ve missed anyone.
