MG Hypnosis - Bore U 2 Sleep Dreaming

Today I am honoured to bore you to sleep with stories about dreams.

 

Dreams are amazing, but only to the person who had the dream.  Describing dreams are never a good idea.  You are constantly trying to piece together bits of what you remember as well as the bits that come to you as you are trying to recall it.  And because they never make a lot of sense to begin with, I thought it would be good way to “bore you to sleep” with some a dream I recall – or rather don’t….

 

So, listen - but don’t listen, as you fall asleep.

 

I hope you enjoy being “bored to sleep” with me.  Sweet dreams.

MG Hypnosis - Let Anxiety Go

One of the reasons I like working with children is they have no hard-set predisposition of failure.  That innocence and trust that I will be able to help them always amazes me. 

BUT I always explain to them, and this is key, that I am not doing it…they are.  Adults would benefit from going back to that innocence.  Have faith. 

 

You already have overcome tough times before, which you now take for granted, and you can use the same strengths to get though anything.  You just have to simply believe in yourself and change your attitude towards anxiety!

 

Remember, in using hypnotherapy, you are the one making the changes, I simply guide you into finding your own solution to your problem.  And a lot of time, that is all it takes.  Spending time to find it.  Really, whatever is causing you anxiety, this is your chance to change it.  Tell it goodbye. Get mad and say “no more”.

 

Let’s get going.

MG Hypnosis - Bore U 2 Sleep - Walking

***DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS WHILE OPERATING A MOVING VEHICLE OR WHERE YOUR FULL ATTENTION IS REQUIRED FOR SAFETY*** Today I am honoured to “Bore you to Sleep” with a story about going on a walk. Just talking about walking. It’s a mindless adventure of observations. My last “bore you to sleep” video was set in Milwaukee. Today my walk is along the Thames in London. I will tell you about my journey, the views, the inspiring thoughts that enter my mind and other random contemplations that pop into my head. The thoughts that come from nowhere, but do nevertheless. I hope you enjoy being “bored to sleep” walking with me.

MG Hypnosis - Getting Rid of Negative Thoughts

***DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS WHILE OPERATING A MOVING VEHICLE OR WHERE YOUR FULL ATTENTION IS REQUIRED FOR SAFETY***

 

Getting rid of negative thoughts can be hard, but not impossible.  Like everything, the more you focus on something, the more you think about it.  So today I’d like to share with you a technique of getting rid of negative thoughts.  It’s therapeutic, AND you can also use it at end of the day to clear your mind to help you to sleep.

 

Remember that you have a choice in what you want to focus your energy and thoughts on.  My advice - choose the good stuff, the positive stuff, the joyful stuff, the happy stuff, the inspiring stuff, the “it’s going to make my day wonderful and it will make me smile” stuff.

 

Be well, happy and positive.

MG Hypnosis - Bore you to sleep with stories about sleep

***DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS WHILE OPERATING A MOVING VEHICLE OR WHERE YOUR FULL ATTENTION IS REQUIRED FOR SAFETY*** Let me bore you to sleep with stories of when I slept well. “Boring you to sleep” is an expression we used in my family to help other members fall asleep. Basically, it’s a story that has no real point or ending, and therefore, you can listen until you just fall asleep. This one is designed to remind your subconscious mind of times you slept incredibly well and naturally – just like a baby. I let the music play on for a few minutes after I finish for you to drift off to sleep with!

***DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS WHILE OPERATING A MOVING VEHICLE OR 
WHERE YOUR FULL ATTENTION IS REQUIRED FOR SAFETY***

 

Ah, a classic.  Get yourself comfy, and get ready for a good old whole body relaxation into sleep session.  Nice! Sometimes we are not even aware of holding tension in our bodies until you pause – breathe – let go.  In is video I guide you through relaxing your whole body from your head down to your toes as you drift into sleep.  

 

Good night, sleep well, and sweet dreams…

MG Hypnosis - Help to Stop Worrying

Me to you

 

Don’t worry – be happy.  

 

Easier said than done when you are worried, but wise words nevertheless and makes a good point.  You can choose to worry or NOT to worry and use it to motivate you.  We sometimes forget that we have a choice on to react to worries. I am here to remind you that you CAN choose to become stronger, calmer, and motivated to do something about the problem.

 

This video is about getting that focus.  Worrying is horrible for your mental and physical wellbeing.  So, stand up tall, take a deep breath, and let’s figure out a solution instead of letting it drain our energy and creativity.  You’ve got this.

2nd of 3 BIG EVENTS POST - Kitchen Extension

The second big event was a kitchen extension, which I have wanted to do for the last 10 years.  I was always frightened by the cost and disruption.  Part of it was practical, and part was my own fearful imagination about, “how am I going to cope with no kitchen, the expense, and all the chaos?!”. 

One of my mentors for hypnotherapy asked me, “How did you manage to get through other difficult times in your life?”.  The answer is simple, and applies to all of us, “I just found a way and did it”.  You will always find a way and sometimes it is our own determination, and other times, it is with the help of others.  Anyway, I did manage it and I had lots of supporters.

My builder was excellent.  Not only in his work, but payment schedule.  Barclay’s “lost” a transfer of money from my US account to help pay for it, and even though I had savings to draw on, the money was missing for 6 weeks! I kept my builder informed, and he really wasn’t bothered as he could see that I was doing everything possible to get Barclays to find my missing money (which is now with the Financial Ombudsman, and it finally arrived in the final week of the works finishing.   

My neighbours helped us out with using their washing machines (can you imagine to have the privilege to live on a street where I was able to take my laundry to 7 different houses in rotation – plus one neighbour went on holiday for a week and gave me the keys to their house.  AND the other nice thing is I had offers from another 5 neighbours!).  They didn’t just let me use their machines – they folded the laundry when it was finished.

Besides doing laundry, we were offered meals.  We had several Sunday lunches at friends and neighbours houses.  We are truly blessed.

So, don’t be afraid of the challenge.  You will always find a way.  I promise.

1st of 3 BIG EVENTS POST – The fall

1st of 3 BIG EVENTS POST – The fall

Sorry for my lack of personal posts. I have had a lot going on - 3 big events. Listing one post a day so it’s not a huge long post, and each has a lesson.

NUMBER 1.  About 6 months ago I fractured my foot by a freak trip up a curb. To someone who walked 15-20,000 steps a day, it was a big deal. I had 2 weeks pretty much in bed, and was just about able to walk in a support boot and crutches, but no more then 4 blocks at a time.

I had several NHS appointments to see how badly I had fractured the tendon and the nerve.  It was an experience to actually get to hear my nerve grow!! They put an acupuncture needle in your leg, and you can actually hear the nerve grow (silence means it is a normal nerve).  So apparently it will take another month for the nerve to head down my leg to my big toe. At least I am now on the mend and am so thankful to Bhavini and Aiden, from Bodies Under Construction, for their amazing physio skills to helping me with rehab.  I am now almost back to 100% and for the first time today – I managed to run for 6 minutes!  YEAH!!

However, the hardest part of the fracture was not the physical pain, it was the mental depression.  Not being able to get outside for exercise, do my normal routine, and see clients really took a toll on my mental wellbeing.  I felt so down, and even though I could do work over Skype and some social media, not getting out and being able to exercise began to make me feel lonely and depressed.  I knew I had to take action mentally to get me into a better state.  

I began to break down the day into activities such as 30 minutes just doing gentle stretching, 30 minutes bath (including massaging my foot), 30 minutes reading positive books (like Laws of Attraction), a few hours work, 1 hour watching feel good YouTube clips about “spending it forward” and “acts of kindness”, 45 minutes eating a healthy lunch slowly and watching the news, watching a funny or classic movie, and ending the day again with gentle stretching with a scented candle - of course.  It started to help vs. being frustrated and depressed.  Once I had a plan, I started to feel better.

I read the book Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine.  It was ironic as the book is about a lonely woman.  The author, Gail Honeyman, wrote the book after reading a newspaper story about a woman in her 30’s that never saw people from the time she left work on Friday night until Monday morning.   We only think of the elderly as suffering from isolation and loneliness.  You need to make a plan if you are living with depression, fear, loneliness, anxiety, etc.  Little steps will lead to bigger ones and slowly feeling better and better and better. 

The other lovely lesson I learnt was to try the “acts of kindness” for myself to others.  I went to Sainsbury’s, bought a dozen yellow roses, and passed them out on my way home. Every one of the 12 people I gave a rose to brightened their day and mine!  One man even said, “I feel like I have just been knighted”.  Also one woman I gave a rose to was so thankful and happy that the women at the table next to her clapped, so I gave one to her too, and those 2 women I am sure were still talking to each other long after I left.

So don’t let things get you down – get a plan.

The Science of Laughter

I read The Science of Laughter from Time Magazine’s September issue.  It was really interesting to learn that the main reason we laugh is social communication.  

It is also an unconscious behavior (not under our control at all), which is why we have all had “inappropriate” times of cracking up.  Mine usually happens in church.

The really amazing thing about laughing is that it is, like drinking water, good for us.  Not only mentally making us feel good, but also physically we benefit.  That is why there are more and more studies being done in universities and hospitals about using laughter for better health.   It helps in boosting our immune function, pain tolerance, cardiovascular health and memory.  We know it reduces stress and help with depression.

So I suggest you spend 1-2 hours over the weekend to watch your favorite comedy! Happy Friday!

Stay calm people – A stress free Christmas tip!

Imagine if you could go though a day in slow motion.  Life would be so much calmer.  You wouldn’t have that sense of rushing to get everything done before the 25^th December.  You will also have more patience with others.

Even on Christmas Eve and day, when relatives can be hard to handle, pause before you speak so you don’t say anything you will regret later.

So when you get that feeling of being stressed out, just think “go slow”, and it will go away and you will find that everything will get done – but without the anxiety.
