💡 HOW CAN WE MAKE CHANGE? 🌀
Sometimes we get on a treadmill that becomes our life. We wake up at the same time, eat the same breakfast, go to work at the same time, come home and repeat the same patterns day in and day out.
As we repeat the same habits, we think the same thoughts. Those thoughts create the same emotions, which in turn produce the same chemical and hormonal responses in the body. Over time, these patterns can affect both our brain and our health in very real ways.
Every emotion is associated with a different pattern of neurochemistry and neural activity in the brain. The more we think and feel in a certain way, the easier it becomes to keep thinking and feeling that way. This is why change can feel so difficult.
By adulthood, much of our thinking and behaviour is driven by learned patterns and conditioning stored in the subconscious mind. The conscious mind, which is the smaller part of our awareness, often struggles to override these automatic programs. No wonder people can feel stuck repeating the same cycles.
If we stay in emotional states like anger, bitterness, resentment or sadness for long enough, they can start to shape not only our thinking, but also our body, our health, and even how we present to the world.
As you maintain an emotional state long enough it can become a mood. Hold the mood long enough and it becomes a temperament. Sustain that temperament and it starts to become part of your personality. At that point, it can feel like life is just the same story on repeat.
This is why so many people come to see me to lose weight, stop smoking, or release old self-defeating habits, patterns, and emotional responses. With hypnotherapy, we can work directly with the subconscious mind to clear old reactions and retrain the brain to respond differently.
“Neurons that fire together, wire together.” If we want them to fire and wire differently, we either have to consciously practise new responses again and again, or we can work at the subconscious level, where change can happen more easily and more efficiently.
In hypnosis, the subconscious mind responds strongly to imagery and experience. When we rehearse new ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving in this focused state, the brain and body begin to respond as if those changes are already happening. Over time, the old patterns weaken and new, healthier ones take their place.
As the chemistry in the body changes, so does the way we feel, think, and live.
