Show Notes – Mark’s Motivational Thursday PodcastIn this episode of Motivational Thursday, I joined Mark to share a powerful mental technique taken from Adam Eason’s book Hypnosis for Runners. We explored how hypnosis-based strategies can help runners (and non-runners alike) improve focus, motivation, and performance by working with the subconscious mind rather than against it.I also shared how this technique can be applied practically in training and everyday life, making it accessible even for those who are new to hypnosis or mental training.I’m really looking forward to continuing this conversation next week when I’ll be welcoming Adam Eason himself onto my podcast, where we’ll dive deeper into hypnosis, performance, and the mindset behind sustainable success.

Hi and welcome to another episode of my podcast was a pleasure to be joined by a excellent vocalist Ella Marie here is info about Ella Marie and links to her excellent music. Ella-Marie Explores The Deception and Chaos Wrought by Love Triangles in Explosive New Single Cat Eyes Classically trained pianist and award winning lyricist Ella Marie is back with a powerful new single that evokes flavours of Fleetwood Mac and Fiona Apple. Dynamic is an understatement as Ella-Marie transitions seamlessly from vulnerable breathy falsetto to fearsome belts that perfectly paint a complex picture of heartbreak, love and loss. Ella-Marie’s gentle piano gives way to crashing drums and guitar as we’re dragged through the unfolding drama, and ultimately come to rest having felt like we’d experienced every late night text, every overthought catastrophised imagining and every agonizing moment of self doubt right along side Ella-Marie herself. When asked about the inspiration for the song Ella-Marie state that “The song cat eyes is equal parts about intimacy and jealousy. It’s a battle between craving intimacy from someone but also regretting anything happening at all. This song paints an image of an other woman type situation. Being tormented solely by another woman’s existence while trying to maintain any rational thinking at all is near impossible.”  https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fellamariecmusic&data=05%7C02%7C%7C617ed7549bb8463c21d208dcc694984c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638603588738538695%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=iAOMO1iKy5B2Q3UMiqqD%2BIuwGv6QoGesrj8BdyfuIhA%3D&reserved=0 https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2F1drv.ms%2Fu%2Fs!AptwjBpMweYLjQKaOe-QS98j1Oxy&data=05%7C02%7C%7C617ed7549bb8463c21d208dcc694984c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638603588738518062%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=FS%2BBNNDogVf4%2BKh9wE%2Bpc%2BD0QB4apt2JnIERSq2NrI4%3D&reserved=0 https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fonedrive.live.com%2F%3Fauthkey%3D%2521ANn4VaCE-Q5p8yw%26id%3D84DAADA9CE4498CB%252157449%26cid%3D84DAADA9CE4498CB&data=05%7C02%7C%7C617ed7549bb8463c21d208dcc694984c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638603588738531121%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=TBByu1EEdpg6TezA%2FN51fBiqFcigFf3kY3xn8QmRCC4%3D&reserved=0.
