Was life a little simpler before mobile phones?🧐

It’s a question many of us quietly ask from time to time.
Not because technology is “bad” far from it. Our phones connect us, support us, organise us, and hold endless knowledge at our fingertips. They’re incredible tools.

But sometimes, it’s helpful to pause and notice the contrast between then and now.

Then:
• We waited without distraction in queues, at bus stops, in the quiet moments.
• Our minds had more opportunity to wander, daydream, create.
• Conversations happened without the ping of notifications.
• A walk outside was simply a walk, not something to document or measure.

Now:
• Constant updates keep our brains switched on.
• We rarely sit in silence.
• Our attention is pulled in multiple directions at once.
• Rest feels harder to access, even when we’re tired.😴

This isn’t about rejecting modern life it’s about achieving balance.

Our nervous system thrives on simple pleasures:
• A cup of tea without scrolling.
• A slow breath in of fresh air.
• Five minutes of looking at the sky, not a screen.
• Being present with someone we care about.
• Letting the mind drift instead of constantly consuming information.

These gentle moments give the brain space to settle, restore, and reset.
They reduce cognitive load, ease overthinking, and help regulate the stress response, something neuroscience consistently supports.

So today, perhaps take one tiny step back toward simplicity.
A small pause.
A moment of quiet.
A reminder that calm doesn’t need to be found, it can be created.

Today I’ve begun my day with a boxing class and this evening I will sing with my choir in a local theatre, 2 beautiful arrows out of my stress bucket where I’m present and connected.

Now off to walk the dog…

Finding the balance!
Have a lovely Sunday ✨😊

✨ Resilience: The Power Behind Real Change ✨

What’s the difference between an explanation and an excuse?

This morning is my usual Saturday routine, outdoor exercise class, fresh air, and movement.
Do I always feel like going?
Absolutely not.
But I know that maintaining stamina in my 50s means staying committed to my fitness, my nutrition, and my overall life balance.

Yes, I could come up with daily excuses for why I “can’t” do something…
But my intention is stronger than my excuses.
And that’s resilience, choosing the action that supports your wellbeing, even when your mind offers you an easier way out. 🧠

In Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, this is exactly what my clients and I build together.
We form a therapeutic alliance where we work as a team, using neuroscience-based tools to strengthen focus, motivation, and confidence.

When intention leads the way, clients achieve their goals.
No excuses, pattern shifts, progress, resilience.

If you’re ready to strengthen yours, I’m here. 💛

Set an Intention to Clear Your Mind!

Give yourself permission to take a short 10-minute walk, uninterrupted, unhurried, that’s just for you.
Before you step outside, set a simple intention: “I’m clearing space in my mind.”

As you walk, gently tune into your senses.
What colours, shapes, or movement do you notice around you?
What sounds are present, near or far?
Let your attention rest on what is here, right now in this moment.

This small practice has a powerful effect on the brain.
Engaging your senses activates the prefrontal cortex, helping to quiet the worry-driven parts of the nervous system.
Even brief mindful movement increases parasympathetic activity, supporting calm, clarity, and emotional regulation.

And here’s the lovely part: creating this tiny moment of presence sets off a positive ripple effect.
Once your brain experiences a simple “win,” it becomes easier to focus, to make decisions and build momentum for the rest of your day!

A few minutes, a clear intention, and gentle awareness… 🧠
that’s all you need to reset your system and move forward with more ease.🙏

Let me know how it goes 🚶‍♀️ 🍁 😊

FOMO…Fear of missing out!
This can be a challenge for all of us at different stages in our lives.
Caused by varying emotions and behavioural patterns.

What if…
We chose to replace FOMO with JOMO? 🧐

JOY of missing out!

What if we could practice Positive Interaction for our inner self and comfortably feel joy in missing out!
Because it doesn’t matter, because you can let the feeling go and that feels just as good!

This could be when you accept, on this occasion, ‘that thing’ is not possible and that’s ok.
This could be that you really don’t want to do ‘that thing’ but you just don’t know how to say No incase you upset someone.

You’ll have heard me speak about the 3P’s.

Positive Thinking
Positive Interaction
Positive Action

Embracing this simple formula allows situations of JOMO!

When we embrace what’s important to our inner selves, change becomes possible, when we do it on repeat, change becomes easier!

I work with many clients who begin sessions saying I focus my attention on the needs of others first before myself.

When we recognise that taking care of ourselves is first and foremost, then others get a better version of ourselves.

You matter too!

Karen 👊

That fear you’re feeling…

It’s your mind’s way of protecting you.

But just like the sun sets at the end of a day, those fears don’t last forever.
Every sunset whispers a promise, a new day is coming, bringing new choices.
Right now, you’re standing at the edge of change. It’s scary, I know.
But staying in the same place… is that truly safer?
Growth lives on the other side of fear. It’s where freedom waits.
And just like every sunrise, you have the power to start again.
Your next step doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to be forward!
Let’s take it together.
Having a safe space to work out the way forward can make all the difference.
2 clients so far today, with very different needs but this principle is the same.
They’ve begun their journey, are you ready to begin yours?

An initial consultation is free of charge.
You choose whether you work online or in person.

✨ Your journey starts with one brave moment. Are you ready to step forwards? 🌅

The hippocampus… isn’t it wonderful! 🧠
I was on the platform this morning waiting for a train and a little boy in a cute rain suit is waiting for a train too, holding his proud dads hand as dad asks him about the colours he can see, whilst mum is taking sneaky pictures of them on her phone.

He’s watching, waiting for a train to pass with such enthusiasm and anticipation.
Then to his delight one comes and the driver t***s the horn.
He was so excited!
My hippocampus brought me so many pictures of memories and my body released beautiful serotonin.
My son loved trains, I remember him at this age doing exactly the same thing.
I remember his face, I remember my feeling as a parent watching him, being in the moment with him, where for just that time, nothing else matters. 🚂 ❤️

It’s been a lovely start to the day!
Happy Friday ☺️
