Our negative self image will let us down. Listen to the people around you who build your self esteem and be kind to others who may be on the same journey.
Don’t struggle alone. It helps to talk. It helps to listen.

3 IDEAS FROM ME I. “To experience time travel, read. To achieve immortality, write.” ​II. “Do bold things with a pleasant and friendly demeanor.” III. “When you drink water from a cup, it becomes part of you. When water falls on you like rain, it evaporates a few minutes later. Similarly...

Thought of the Day

Being able to express yourself can take many forms. For most of us it is important to feel ‘heard’. This self-portrait of Francis Bacon is a creative artist’s expression of self. How do you express yourself? Do you feel heard?
Not feeling heard, at its most extreme, can result in self-harm. Please listen, please make yourself heard. Remember hypnotherapy can help. Always here to listen! ❤️

Hats, haircuts, tattoos- a novel way to think about your decision making!

3 IDEAS FROM ME I. “You should always be rooting for the people you know. Not only because you may need their support tomorrow, but also because it feels good to celebrate something. Celebration can rescue your day—even if it is someone else’s victory. Envy will ruin your day—even if you’r...

How do you value your time? Some ideas from James Clear here:

3 IDEAS FROM ME I. “The days can be easy if the years are consistent. You can write a book or get in shape or code a piece of software in 30 minutes per day. But the key is you can’t miss a bunch of days.” ​II. “The wedding is an event, love is a […]

Whether you are in a posh hotel or on a public bench, the view can be just as good, especially if you get to share it with a friend.

Asking for help is the next step…

Another me-time hack is regular journaling! Spend time recording your thoughts and feelings (or anything that comes to mind). Allow yourself to be creative. It helps you to slow down and focus; be absorbed in the moment! Enjoy 😊

So this is the focus for my first contemplative moment of the day. It has it all - the ritual of the process, the smell of the coffee and the promise of the elixir - that first caffeine hit of the day! A moment to be savoured ☕️ ❤️

The human givens approach identifies attention as one of our vital emotional needs – both giving and receiving it is a form a nutrition. Meeting our emotional needs well and in balance, defends us against mental ill health. So, by taking a brief moment out of your day to do a good deed or perform a small act of kindness you will not only bring happiness, warmth, care and compassion into someone else’s day, you will also help to meet both yours and their emotional need for attention – which is a very rewarding act of kindness in itself.

Kindness to others also reduces social anxiety – when socially anxious people are encouraged to perform little acts of kindness, they report less daily social anxiety than those socially anxious people who don’t.

Anxiety can lead to a variety of symptoms from social anxiety, where we can’t interact to selective mutism where we can’t even speak! Hypnotherapy can help.

3 IDEAS FROM ME I. “When you need to learn quickly, learn from others. When you need to learn deeply, learn from experience.” ​II. “If two people have the same goal, you know nothing about the similarity of their results. But if two people have the same daily habits, you can infer quite a bi...

Whatever you’re good at is just neural pathways built from past repetition. You don’t remember the repetition, so the skill seems innate. It's important to remember this when you're NOT good at something. You CAN build the skill with repetition. https://amzn.to/3DndMq4
