How to retrain your eating habits

We were brought up with a history of eating habits passed down from generation to generation. Some of those traditions we now know are not beneficial to our bodies or minds. Having the usual Sunday roast has loads of fat-based unhealthy items; you know the ones. Fast food restaurants - we learned - have almost our whole daily calorie allowance in one meal! Bread and dairy can be a drain on how our bodies process those foods robbing us of our energy. Plus, the old "eat everything on your plate" mantra added unwanted weight to our bodies.

So if you want to eat better and lose weight, become educated and change the old though pattern. Read any current nutritional book and they will all tell you the same thing. You have heard it before but until you "do it", you will never appreciate the benefits. You will feel better, look better and lose weight from learning more about modern nutritional guidelines. You can set a new healthy eating tradition for your future generations.

If you need help with changing your thought pattern, see Marygrace at MG Hypnosis. If you need help with learning about nutrition, see Fleur Borrelli, the nutritional specialist at The Putney Clinic. If you need a personal trainer, I recommend Carrie Hogan or Martin Watkins. Email marygrace@mghypnosis.co.uk for contact details.

Hypnosis and exam anxiety

Please help your children prepare for their exams by following the steps below:

1. Get them to do deep breathing 6 times before they start to study and, before they start their exam, do it again. It only takes a minute!
2. Visualize themselves taking the exams and feeling relaxed and passing.
3. Encourage them, but remind them that at the end of the day, no matter how they do, they are still loved for their hard work and life goes on. It is just a grade and we have millions of successful entrepreneurs and famous world figures who didn't do well on an exam but succeeded in life. The grade does not reflect how good they are as individuals.
4. Take regular breaks and do some exercise during their day.
5. Eat well and drink water.
6. Make sure they study in a pleasant, comfortable place, and sitting in posture friendly chair.
7. Remind them they have a choice to go into the exam stressed out or feeling positive and confident.
8. Let them know it is normal to be a little "nervous about their exam", but it is better to use the word "excited about their exam" – much more positive.

Happy revising!

Sports and Hypnosis

Athletes are great clients because they are used to working hard, pushing themselves, and setting personal goals. They also want to perform well so their motivation for success is very high. Helping a sports client achieve their goal is one of the most rewarding outcomes I have ever had.

Sports psychology is becoming increasingly more popular in all fields of athletics. Using various hypnotherapy techniques, it can be extremely effective in helping sports people get over past failures, utilizing their past achievements, and create an award winning mind set for competitions and training.

It's easy to train your body physically but adding the mental training can enhance your development as an athlete.

We tailor your session to meet your specific needs, whether that is competition preparation, motivation and goal setting, anxiety management or creating the athletic performance mindset.

We look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your dream.
