Positive thinking course follow up

The next two positive thinking course days were focused on gratitude and mind training.

Gratitude

Gratitude is a simple way to end your day and start your day in a positive frame of mind.   Every day we should find 10 new things that we are grateful for in our lives.  This can be a combination of a million things like people, experiences, tastes, nature, health, the sun, the moon and the stars, literally anything.

Gratitude also heightens our awareness of what is most important to us.  You might be grateful for material things, but it also might make you aware of those material things which you no longer use or care about, which in turn, is taking up space and energy.  It might be time for a clear out of "stuff".

Mind training

Mind training is harder as we have to stop and think about how often we are negative about ourselves and others, but to make the effort to change the record playing in our heads.  We are learning to train ourselves to think more positively.  It is a simple, stop, think, react in a better way.  Sometimes it takes great patience and time to do that.  All the great spiritual teachers of the world tell us the same thing.


Use You Tube to find videos on positive thinking. We will be doing more recording ourselves before the end of summer this year.  Be on the look out.

My 6-week detox diary and self-hypnosis (Week 2)

Okay, day 10 and still going strong. In fact, I am getting stronger both physically and mentally. It seriously was not hard once I set my mind to it.

My motivational tips

1. Eating lots of salads (mixing it up to keep them interesting). I am also eating more fruit and nuts (almonds, pumpkin seeds and Brazil nuts). Still doing the detox tea morning, noon and evening.

2. Without fail, I do my yoga in the morning. If I have a client at 8:00am, I am starting at 6:00am or before. The great thing is that I am sleeping better now and naturally walking up earlier (with energy). I also ordered a memory foam pillow and highly recommend them for people who are constantly adjusting their pillows during the night.

3. Motivational board - see photo. I am personally motivated by writing the number of days so I can see my progress. I look forward to writing the number on my calendar and putting money into my "holiday fund - Yes I can!" pouch. I also have a list below the pouch of all the benefits I gain as a result of making a life style change.

4. I just starting jogging again. I am taking it really slow and listening to my body. I was going to start it as a run/walk exercise, but naturally got into a steady slow jog and my breath and body felt "good" so I kept it up for 20 mins - my goal. I will set this for the week.

5. BONUS side note, I naturally have taken in less sugar and, OMG, does it make a serious difference to going back to something that has a lot of sugar. Gross. I didn't actually plan this as part of my goal, but was inspired by another blog in which the individual stopped sugar as their goal and the benefits they felt as a result.

It just happened naturally that I was eating less things that had sugar. I didn't eat a lot of sweets to begin with but was still amazing that cutting out "more" would make a big difference.

Please join me in setting your life changing goal. If you have any questions, comments or would like to speak with me, please feel free to contact me on info@mghypnosis.co.uk or by calling 07931 547 414.

Best wishes,

My 6-week detox diary and self-hypnosis (Week 1)

It is only day 3 but I wanted to inspire others to begin now, as 3 days in and I feel so much better already.

What I am doing:

1. Drinking a detox tea 3 times a day – I am using Tay Tox (Amazon). I was only an occasional coffee drinker, so coffee wasn't hard to cut out.

2. Stopped drinking alcohol. Again, this was easy to do once I set my mind to the challenge. We so often think we will miss out on “all the fun” from not drinking at parties or the pub, but, trust me, you will have just as much fun. I also focus on the overall benefits I will achieve in the end. Look better, feel better, more energy, toner and fitter, better sleep...  And THIS is what I want! I am putting the alcohol money towards a reward. In this case, it is going to be our holiday in the States.

3. Exercising daily. I have taking walks and practising yoga, and next week I will start running again. I know it is good to have an off day, but I don’t think going for a long walk or doing yoga is too strenuous not to practice every day. I am also looking into doing something else.

4. At night I do self-hypnosis and visualise how I want to look and how I want to feel 6 weeks from now. Self-hypnosis is a valuable tool to learn. Once you know what you want, this will help reinforce your commitment. Using these two techniques combined can help you achieve any goal you set yourself. You can learn self-hypnosis in just 1 session.

Those are my starting points and I look forward to sharing more.

Hope you decide to join me.

Eldon Taylor's new book

I have read my friend Eldon Taylor's latest book, "Self-Hypnosis and Subliminal Technology", which has just been released.  It is full of inspirational quotes and ideas to live life with a positive open-minded outlook based on the laws of attraction.  It follows very closely principles used in "The Secret".  As you know, I believe anything you can read that inspires you is a very good thing.

It also comes with a CD.  The CD has both short and longer recordings to you can work it into your day and help you master self-hypnosis.

Eldon is having a wonderful launch party so you really should check it out.
