🧠 Are You Cross-Threaded? How to Rewire Your Mind for Flow, Success, and Freedom

🧠 Are You Cross-Threaded? How to Rewire Your Mind for Flow, Success, and Freedom
Good morning
I hope you’re enjoying this beautiful day, wherever you are.
Have you ever had one of those weeks where nothing seems to click?
You’re pushing hard, doing all the right things, yet it still feels like you’re running in wet cement.
We’ve all been there.
Last night, an image popped into my mind that perfectly describes this feeling a simple, everyday metaphor that holds a powerful truth about success, mindset, and flow.


🔩 The Cross-Threaded Bolt of Life

Imagine you’re doing some handyman (or handywoman) work.
You pick up a bolt and start threading it onto a nut — but it doesn’t quite fit.
You twist harder, trying to force it — and suddenly, the thread strips.
No matter how much effort you apply after that, it just won’t go on.
That’s life sometimes.
We’re bolting ahead to build our businesses, climb the corporate ladder, or create prosperity… but something unseen keeps jamming the process. It’s not lack of effort — it’s misalignment.
Your mental “threads” are crossed.

🧩 We’re Creatures of Pattern — and That’s the Problem

Humans are creatures of habit.
Most of what we do is driven by unconscious patterns designed to save mental energy.
The trouble is, if those patterns were built on old fears, past failures, or limiting beliefs 
no amount of hustle will help. 
You’ll just keep spinning, stripping the same mental thread, wondering why progress feels so hard.
As Bob Proctor once said, “Thinking is the hardest work you can do.”
Because true thinking... conscious thinking means breaking free 
from old wiring and creating new patterns that match the life you want.

🔧 Re-Threading Your Mind

Here’s the good news:
Just like a stripped bolt can be rethreaded, your mind can be too.
When your unconscious patterns don’t support your goals  whether that’s growing your business, i
ncreasing your income, or feeling more fulfilled... it’s time for a reset.
That’s what I do.
I help people re-thread and rewire their unconscious minds 
so that success becomes natural, effortless, and even miraculous.
Because when your inner wiring is aligned 
you don’t have to force things anymore.
Opportunities start flowing.
Conversations click.
And progress feels light.

⚡ Ready for a Reset?

If you’ve been feeling stuck, misaligned, or just out of rhythm maybe it’s time to re-thread.
I’ve created a short Cheat Sheet that shows you how to interrupt old patterns and reset your mind for success.
If you’d like it, just comment RESET below or send me a quick message and I’ll send it straight to you.
Because when your thoughts, feelings, and actions line up, 
you stop forcing and start flowing.
Here’s to getting back in sync with life and living on purpose.
Have an awesome day.

“How to Change Your Life – No Matter Where You Are Right Now”

“How to Change Your Life – No Matter Where You Are Right Now”

“How to Change Your Life – No Matter Where You Are Right Now”

Hey there, welcome!
Wherever you are in life right now, whether you’re thriving, just coasting along, or maybe you’ve hit a wall...I want you to know you can change your life.
Exactly 20 years ago this week, I hit that wall.

Watch the video here 9min 40 secs

I was done. I didn’t want to be here anymore.
But that moment became the turning point.

Through hypnosis and NLP, I discovered how to completely rewire my mind and that shift saved my life. It gave me purpose. It gave me power. It gave me freedom.
And today, I want to share a few simple but powerful steps that can help you do the same.

Step 1: Awareness Comes First

You can’t change what you don’t see. Awareness always precedes transformation.
Start noticing your thoughts, your language, your emotional habits.
Ask yourself:
👉 “What am I believing that’s keeping me stuck?”
👉 “What would I need to believe instead to move forward?”
Your life right now is a mirror reflecting what you’ve been believing. Look around—your relationships, your health, your finances—all of it is feedback. But here’s the good news: feedback means you can change it.

Step 2: Find Your Purpose

As Napoleon Hill said in Think and Grow Rich, success begins with a definite major purpose—a reason so strong that nothing can knock you off course.
When your “why” burns bright enough, every obstacle becomes fuel.
Ask yourself why—then ask again and again, until you hit that emotional core.
That’s the fire that moves mountains.

Step 3: Build Desire, Vision, and Plan

Once you’ve got your awareness and your purpose, ignite your white-hot desire.
Then turn it into a plan, a roadmap that pulls you toward your future instead of pushing against your past.
Without a plan, motivation fizzles. With a plan, purpose becomes progress.

Step 4: Take Action and Stay Accountable

You don’t need to do it alone.
When I finally found guidance and accountability, everything changed.
That’s why I created the Purpose Ignition Blueprint...a powerful, free guide to help you uncover your purpose, clarify your why, and design your next chapter.
It’s short, powerful, and it could literally change your life.
So here’s what to do next:
💥 Type “YES” in the comments right now, or click the link in the description.
I’ll send you the Purpose Ignition Blueprint directly.

Because here’s the truth:
Your life can change the moment you decide it must.
You’re not broken. You’re not behind. You’re just one decision away from a breakthrough.
So take that step today.
Say yes to your purpose.
Say yes to your future.
Say yes to you. 🎯

👉 Comment YES below or hit the link to get your free Purpose Ignition Blueprint.
Discover your purpose, light your fire, and take back control of your life—starting today.

To your best life,

Wayne :)

🧠 The One Word That Could Be Holding You Back

🧠 The One Word That Could Be Holding You Back
Have you ever caught yourself saying…
“I’ve got a problem I need to deal with.”

That one word – problem – carries weight. It drags behind you like wet cement. It triggers a cascade of unconscious associations:
❌ Hard
❌ Heavy
❌ Painful
❌ Unsolvable
❌ Overwhelming
But what if that “problem” isn’t a problem at all?
What if it's simply the word you're using that’s making it feel that way?

🔁 Reframe the Story

Let’s upgrade that word. Try this instead:
  • Replace problem with challenge – now there’s a sense of action, a path forward.
  • Then upgrade challenge to lesson – now there’s something to learn and grow from.
  • And finally, elevate lesson to empowering breakthrough – now there’s a reward waiting on the other side.
Each time we change the label, we shift our perception. We reduce the resistance. We increase our power.
💬 Words don’t just describe your reality – they create it.

🧩 Your Language Is the Code You’re Living By

Whether you're navigating burnout, trying to grow your business, or just juggling too many priorities — take a moment to listen to the language you’re using.
  • Are your words keeping you stuck?
  • Or are they opening the door to possibilities?
Reframing your language is one of the simplest – yet most powerful – mindset upgrades available to you. And it starts with awareness.

✅ CALL TO ACTION: Let’s Rewire Your Story

If this message resonates, I’d love to offer you something simple and powerful:
👉 Reply to this email or send me a DM with the word "Reframe"
Send me one question that is troubling you, and I'll personally reply with an answer that will shift the way you see your current challenge – and help you move forward with clarity and momentum.
If that feels valuable (and I’m confident it will), we can book a 15-minute chat to explore what else is possible for you.
Let’s change your words – and upgrade your life.
Warmly,

How to Take Back Control – No Matter What Life Throws at You

How to Take Back Control – No Matter What Life Throws at You

Life & Business Don’t Always Go to Plan…

You’ve probably experienced it:

  • Business income goes up and down.
  • People in your life do (or don’t do) the things that add value.
  • Careers shift, opportunities appear and disappear.
And often, it feels like you’re being pulled in every direction by forces you can’t control.
But here’s the truth:
There’s one thing you can control ... your thoughts.
Your thoughts shape how you feel, and your feelings drive your actions, which ultimately create your results. Change the way you think, and you can change the way you respond, perform, and live.


Why This Matters Now

When things aren’t going well, it’s easy to spiral. Your energy drops, creativity dries up, and productivity suffers. But the moment you decide to take control of what you focus on and the meaning you give events… everything changes.
This isn’t about ignoring problems. It’s about upgrading your mindset so you can see options, take action, and stay in control.

4 Mindset Reset Tools You Can Use Today

1. Hourly Reset Alarm
Set an alarm every hour from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. with the message:
“How do I feel now that everything is resolved?”
This little question forces you to imagine a better state, rewiring your mind to look for solutions instead of problems.
2. Choose Happiness First
Stop making happiness conditional: “I’ll be happy when…” Instead, choose to be happy now. Happiness is a decision, not a reward.
3. Record Your “I Am” Statements
Repeat empowering affirmations daily: I am worthy. I am enough. I am abundant. I am successful. Play them back often to override the 50,000–80,000 daily thoughts (most of them negative).
4. Flood Your Mind with Inspiration
Find a piece of audio that inspires you and play it constantly while you work, drive, and even sleep. Immersion transforms thinking.

The Power Is Already Yours

You have the ability to choose how you think and feel, regardless of circumstances. It’s a gift. 
Most people let their environment dictate their emotions but YOU can be different.

Your Next Step

If you’re ready to take control of your thinking, feelings, and results, both in business and life,
I’d love to help you get started.
I’m offering a complimentary 30-minute one-on-one coaching session where we’ll:
  • Identify where your mindset is holding you back.
  • Install simple strategies to reset your thinking fast.
  • Map out a clear plan to get you back on track and in control.
Don’t wait for circumstances to change before you feel good. Let’s put you in the driver’s seat  starting today.

"Make today, the greatest day your life., because you're alive"

Start Your Day This Way...For A Better Day!

Start Your Day This Way...For A Better Day!
Refresh. Renew. Recharge.

Every day, you're handed a reset button.
But the truth is, most business owners never press it.
Instead, they roll from yesterday into today, dragging emotional residue, unresolved conversations, and mental clutter right into the next boardroom, strategy meeting, or performance review.

If you’re running a business, you’re not short on decisions. Your days are packed with people who need answers, teams who need vision, and operations that require precision.

And yet, most high-performing business owners are making these decisions in a state of energetic hangover.
Yesterday’s stress. Yesterday’s frustration. Yesterday’s worry.
You wouldn’t write a new proposal on the back of a used napkin.
So why are you writing today’s leadership moves on yesterday’s emotional slate?

High Performance Begins Before the Day Begins
Over the past 30 days alone, I’ve had morning check-in sessions with clients processing everything from grief and loss to strategic pivots and investor pressure.
One client came to the call emotionally exhausted from handling a family health crisis. Another arrived beaming after landing a $600K deal.
Both needed the same thing: a mental and emotional reset to be effective today.

They didn’t need another to-do list.
They needed space.
They needed a circuit breaker.
They needed a ritual to shift their internal state  so they could show up at their best, no matter what the day had in store.

Your Morning Reset Isn’t Just Self-Care. It’s Strategy.
This isn’t some soft, optional luxury.
This is about setting the tone for:
Clear, focused thinking
Emotionally intelligent leadership
Decisive, values-aligned action

Without a reset, you’re reactive. With a reset, you’re intentional.

Here’s the simple framework I walk clients through during their morning ritual:
1. Clear the Mental Clutter Ask: What am I still carrying from yesterday that I don’t need today? Write it down. Burn it. Rip it up. Let it go.
2. Anchor to the Now Do something physical, a breathwork pattern, a cold shower, a walk without your phone. Get back into your body and out of your head.
3. Refocus on What Matters Ask: What would make today a win? Not 10 things, just one. Clarity is power.
4. Set Your Emotional State Intentionally Don’t wait for motivation to appear. Create it. Use music, movement, or NLP anchoring to shift your state.
5. Visualise the Day Before It Begins Run a 90-second mental movie: you, calm, clear, decisive, handling today with power and purpose.

It takes less than 10 minutes. But it transforms your next 10 hours.
You’re the Asset. Protect the Asset.
As a founder, leader, or high-level operator ... your state is your edge.
You can have the best team, the best market, the best strategy… but if you’re foggy, frazzled, or flat, everything suffers.

When you begin the day with a refreshed mind, a renewed purpose, and a recharged spirit, you make better decisions. You lead with strength. You attract aligned opportunities. You hold stronger boundaries. You win the day before it even starts.

Let’s Reset What Matters

This Morning Ritual Will Shift Your Energy and Sharpen Your Business Edge!
If your mornings feel rushed, reactive, or heavy... let’s build a ritual that flips that.

I work with clients who need to bring their best self to every room they walk into.
And it starts with mastering the first 10 minutes of the day.

We’ll:
Clear the fog
Reset your daily mindset
Design your powerful morning framework
Because how you start the day is how you lead.
Let’s make it count.
Make every day the best day of your life,

Wayne :)

About Wayne Donnelly

Since 2009, I’ve helped professionals, business owners, and high performers create powerful shifts in mindset to overcome overwhelm, reignite passion, and unlock results they never thought possible.

But this path didn’t start in a textbook.

In 2005, I hit my own wall — navigating depression, burnout, and a total loss of direction. Traditional approaches didn’t shift it… but tapping into the unconscious mind did. It changed everything.
That breakthrough led me to retrain in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and ultimately become the coach I wish I had back then.

Today, I specialise in helping people like you get back in the driver’s seat of their business, mindset, and life — breaking free from old patterns and stepping into their next level of success with clarity, confidence and purpose.
Because when you shift your thinking, you shift your outcomes.

And it doesn’t have to take years.
