MG Hypnosis - Building Confidence

Confidence boosting for all...enjoy.

***DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS WHILE OPERATING A MOVING VEHICLE OR WHERE YOUR FULL ATTENTION IS REQUIRED FOR SAFETY*** Confidence boosting is something we all need at some point. Today it will come from both you and I. We will focus on reminiscing on your past successes that you now might take for granted, and reminding you of your best skills and assets. I’ll help you to see it more clearly once again and give you some more boosting. As always, it is a reminder that you ARE amazing and need to take care of yourself. Please “like” this video if you think others will find it helpful.

Are you drinking too much? Is one glass becoming a bottle?

 #drinkingtoomuch #alcohol 

Are you drinking too much?   Is one glass becoming a bottle?

 

Are you becoming more dependent upon alcohol to feel better, escape, or just cope with situations?  If so, I can help.

 

Drinking is often seen as a way to relax or have fun.  We think of celebrating an event or socializing, and our treat at the end of a long day.   However, at some point, we realize the fun of drinking has stopped but now you can’t stop – the classic, “I won’t drink tomorrow”, or “I’ll only just have one tonight”.

 

Alcohol’s addictive nature creates a false sense of belief in the benefits we get from it.  It doesn’t matter if you think you feel more relaxed or believe it gives you more confidence, because in reality, too much alcohol creates a worse feeling the day after…and so the cycle starts.  

 

Don’t get me wrong, alcohol in moderation is great, and there are even some health benefits.  I am only referring to the “I know I’m drinking too much and I can’t seem to control it”.  You even forget how you managed other times without it, but that too is significant – because you did!

 

All patterns of behaviour are learned by repetitiveness and association.  It can start from too much socialising, just one with dinner, or boredom.  The good news is that you can learn a new way to control your drinking, and figure out a way to occupy your time in a healthy and more constructive way.

 

MAIN POINT – I do not want you to have to stop drinking, I want you to have the control back.

We focus on the benefits of having that control.  It is basically what you want.  To be able to drink but without the constant over indulgencies.  We focus on all the benefits you will gain from taking back the control.

 

Call me.  We’ll talk about it.  Together we’ll create a positive way forward for you.

5 tips to bring more Positive Energy into your life

ATTRACTING POSITIVE ENERGY

THIS SHOULDN’T BE HARD, BUT YET, IT SEEMS SOME PEOPLE STRUGGLE WITH BEING POSITIVE.

SO TRY THESE 5 TIPS OUT THIS WEEK AND SEE IF IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE TO YOUR POSITIVE ENERGY.

1.        WHEN YOU WAKE UP, BEFORE YOU GET UP, SAY TO YOURSELF 10 TIMES, “I AM GOING TO HAVE AN AMAZING DAY” AND SMILE AS YOU SAY IT. COUNT OUT WITH YOUR FINGERS.

2.        ONCE EVERY HOUR DURING YOUR WORKING HOURS, STOP AND BREATH 6 TIMES – IF YOU CAN DO THIS OUTSIDE – EVEN BETTER.  AND SAY, I FEEL GREAT!

3.        ON YOUR COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK, SAY 10 THINGS YOU GRATEFUL FOR: 

-         THANK YOU FOR MY JOB (IF YOU DON’T LIKE YOUR JOB, FOR THE SALARY),

-         FOR MY HEALTH – IF YOU HAVE A COLD, AT LEAST YOU DON’T HAVE CANCER – I AM TRYING TO GET YOU TO KEEP IT IN PERSPECTIVE.

-         FOR FAMILY, FRIENDS, FOOD, WATER, A HOME, BEING ABLE TO READ, MUSIC, EXERCISE, SPOUSE/PARTNER, CHILDREN, ANIMALS, BREATHING, MEDITATION, LEARNING - anything no matter what or how small   SOMETIMES I REPEAT MY LISTS - BUT THAT CAN BE RELATED TO SOMETHING ELSE THAT HAPPENED OR I AM JUST SUPER GRATEFUL FOR THE PERSON, PLACE OR THING I AM MENTIONING.

4.        ASK FOR POSITIVE ENERGY.  DEPENDING ON YOUR BELIEVES, ASK GOD, OR THE UNIVERSE, OR THE INTERNET TO SEND YOU GOOD VIBES.  REALLY ASK FOR IT.

5.        KEEP LOOKING FOR POSITIVE THINGS IN EVERYTHING! NEVER GIVE UP LOOKING FOR HAPPINESS.  TOUGH TIMES DON’T LAST.  SO KEEP LOOKING AND EXPLORING AND LEARNING ABOUT THINGS THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY.  THINGS THAT BRING GOODNESS AND POSITIVE ENERGY INTO YOUR LIFE.  IT MIGHT TAKE A SOME EXPLORING, BUT YOU WILL FIND IT AS LONG AS YOU WANT IT.  

LASTLY, IF YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS DRAINING YOU OF YOUR POSITIVE ENERGY OR HAPPINESS, FIGURE OUT HOW TO SOLVE IT AND STOP IT, THERE WILL BE A SOLUTION BUT YOU NEED TO ADDRESS IT AND FIX IT.

My 6-week detox diary and self-hypnosis (Week 3)

Whee - look at me go!  Week 3 and full steam ahead! I have added a new "motivational" item to my calendar.  I am putting yellow stickers on the days that I run.  So much fun!

Tips for this week for staying on track.

1.  JDI - or in my case JFDI - get up and just do your morning exercises.  No excuse not to do them.  Have your exercise clothes ready to go.  If you have to be up early for whatever reason, go to be early and get up 45 mins earlier to stick to your routine.  I alternate between a You Tube video and Wii to keep it interesting and sometimes it takes a little hunting to find the right video for you.  I really like Yoga with Adrian (You Tube)!  I also am going to drop in yoga sessions to make sure I am doing the moves right now and then.

2.  When tempted to snack on something unhealthy, I literally say to myself (rather scream it to myself), think of your goal and what you want.  It is like having a built in coach there to stop you going off the grid.  Have a motto or affirmation to say to help keep you on track.

3.  Think of your fans, (real or imaginary).  If you tell people what your goal is, your success rate will be much higher.  I can't imagine sitting her typing, "gave in, having a Kabab for lunch right after a full English breakfast to start the day...and no exercise".  Seriously, your true supporters will continue to support you in your goals.

4.  Be very specific on your final goal, and the life changing steps you need to accomplish it.  This is not a diet, this is not a quick fix, this is not a summer slimmer 6 week detox.  This is a gradual way to make some changes to lifestyle patterns.  I have strong will power but for those who do not, setting a 3 - 6 month goal will really get you on track for a life style change.  Yes, you may have a set back or a bad day, but if you spend the other 5-6 days sticking to it, you will feel and look better AND have so much more energy.

Still doing self hypnosis every night.  I picture myself reaching my goal and how I will look, how I will feel and all the positive emotions that go with that success and making it a part of my new world.  It is really a wonderful and empowering feeling.

See you next week and enjoy your week.  Marygrace

GCSE and exams

GCSE and exam stress

Please can I encourage all students and parents not to get caught up in the stress of taking the GCSEs or any big exams. At the end of the day, our world is changing.  The way companies hire is changing. One day, it truly won't be a grade that gets you hired (it is already happening), but the type of individual you become.

I personally have been a C/D student and a straight A student.  No matter what grade I got, it had nothing to do with my achievements in life. I would rather have a happy, confident, outgoing and loving child than a unhappy, hating school and stressed out A student.

What truly matters in life isn't a grade.  It is the person you become.  Which reminds me to post my favourite quote by Marianne Williamson

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Think yourself fitter Metro September 1st 2016

I love this article and believe it works.  We all know how our bodies react to our thoughts but this is even more amazing and gives hope to those who want to be fitter but are restricted in their physical abilities.

Tessa Guy is a true inspiration to to the "never give up" attitude.

So get those grey cells going and get yourself fitter!!!!

Imagination: the best confidence booster of them all

by Marygrace Anderson

There is one thing all parents would agree that their kids excel in over themselves – Imagination. Kids have wonderful and brilliant imaginations. The only trouble is when their imaginations start focusing on their fears versus their strengths. This can lead to phobias, sleeping problems and anxiety. So what can you do to help your child?

There are a few things, but one I recommend is, at night teach them to put a bubble around themselves and visualise how they want to feel. So for example, if they are having trouble sleeping, do the following steps: Have them rub their hands together quickly.

Next, have them take a deep breath. As they exhale, have them imagine a protective bubble surrounding them so nothing can get in and they will sleep all night with beautiful dreams. (You can put the bubble around them as well for extra strength if they want you to but make sure you rub your hands together too for good energy – and partly for dramatics). Then starting with your hands together over their heads, pretend to be forming a bubble around them. Ask them for suggestions on what can go into their bubble to give them strength, protection, or comfort.
