A simple mental health tip: take your mind for a walk!
Fresh air, daylight, and even a short break outdoors can help reset your mood and perspective.
Think of it as a quick recharge for your brain with no plug required.

November is Men’s Health Awareness Month — a good time to remember that taking care of your mind is every bit as important as looking after your body.
Many men are great at coping silently, but that can come at a cost. Talking, learning to relax, and exploring positive ways to manage stress can make a real difference.

Anxiety can feel as if your mind is constantly on high alert, always scanning for what might go wrong.
Hypnotherapy can help you switch off that overprotective alarm system, so your mind learns to tell the difference between real danger and false alarms.
I’ve worked with many clients who describe the change as like getting their life back.
If you’d like to learn more about how hypnosis can help you manage anxiety, drop me a message or visit www.debbiewaller.com.

It’s OK to ask for help.
We all have times when we try to hold everything together — but strength isn’t about doing it all alone, it’s about knowing when to reach out.
Sometimes just talking, or taking a small supportive step, can make a world of difference.

A common myth about hypnosis is that it’s a kind of instant fix — one session and all your problems disappear!
The truth is, while hypnosis can work faster than many other types of therapy, it’s still a process. Most people need a few sessions to build and reinforce the changes they want.
Think of it less like waving a magic wand and more like learning a new skill where your mind just happens to be the classroom.

Congratulations to everyone still taking part in Stoptober! By today, you’ve reached 28 days smoke-free—and research shows if you can do 28 days, you’re far more likely to quit for good.
That’s a massive achievement, so take a moment today to notice how far you’ve come.
Your body is already healing, your bank balance is thanking you, and you’ve proved to yourself you can do it.
If you’d like a bit of extra support to keep going strong, hypnotherapy can help you stay calm, confident, and free from smoking for good. PM me.

With Halloween just around the corner, let’s bust a spooky myth…
Hypnotherapists don’t have strange powers, glowing eyes, or swinging pocket watches (sorry to disappoint!). We do have skills to help you relax, focus, and make changes in a natural, safe way.
So if you were hoping for magic spells, I can’t help. But if you’d like to feel calmer, happier, or more in control, then drop me a message.

When anxiety strikes, sometimes the simplest tricks can help you regain calm.
One useful technique is asymmetrical movement: doing something where each side of your body is moving in turn.

When anxiety strikes, sometimes the simplest tricks can help you regain calm.
One useful technique is asymmetrical movement: doing something where each side of your body is moving in turn. For example:
* Hold your hands level with your waist.
* Keep your right hand still whilst swinging your left arm out to the side, then back to your waist.
* Keep your left hand still whilst swinging your right arm out to the side and back to your body.
* Repeat for two to three minutes, keeping up a steady rhythm.

This kind of movement interrupts the anxious pattern and helps your body and mind reset.
You’ll find plenty more practical, everyday strategies like this in Anxiety to Calm: A Practical Guide to a Laid-Back Life.

Thinking about quitting smoking? Whether you’ve tried before or this is your very first attempt, I’ve designed two levels of support:
* A focused session if you just need that extra nudge.
* Or a more in-depth package if quitting you've found quitting difficult in the past.

Whichever you choose, hypnotherapy can help you feel calmer, more in control, and free from the habit. Imagine what else you could do with that energy, money, and health!
Message me or visit my website if you’d like to know more about how I can help.

I just had a lovely time chatting with Joanita Musisi on BBC Radio York about dreams and what they might mean. Such an interesting topic, and great fun to explore how our minds work while we sleep!
Joanita’s currently running a phone-in all about dreams, so if you’ve ever wondered why you keep having that same dream (or what flying might really mean), tune in and join the conversation.

Have you come across the Wellness Wheel? It’s a reminder that wellbeing has many parts—physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and even financial. And if one area’s a bit flat, the wheel doesn’t turn smoothly.
Here are a few easy ways to keep your wheel rolling:
* Spend time in nature.
* Talk things over with someone you trust.
* Make time just for you.
* Keep learning and growing.
It’s all about small steps that add up to balance. Which part of your wheel could do with a little attention this week?
