Thought, feeling, action

The way you think can affect the way you feel, which then has an affect on what you do.

If your the kind of person who gets nervous about exams, interviews or meeting new people you may notice that you creat an image in your mind of how it’s going to be, you might even have some negative self talk. Then perhaps you’ll start to get nervous and have butterflies in your tummy. You’ll start to produce cortisol, which will make you feel stressed. You might then find that you’re pacing backwards and forwards, or tapping your foot, or if you’re like me, shaking your leg. You’re breathing might begin to change.

All these are natural when you’re nervous, but you can change all of that by either changing your thinking. Start to think of something more positive, start telling yourself all the good things you’ll achieve if you get that job, pass those exams or what good things can come from meeting those people.

Change how you hold yourself, when you think positively your body posture will change as will those external behaviours, then they will also change how you feel internally, and you can start to release oxytocin and endorphins.

How you think affects how you feel and affects how you behave, but by changing just one of those things it will start to change the others.

Change what you do on the outside so it can change how you feel on the inside. Action creates better thinking and better feeling.

A lot of anxiety starts with the thoughts we repeatedly tell ourselves.

One of the most common thinking patterns is catastrophising. This is when your mind jumps straight to the worst case scenario.

For example, you might send a message and don’t get a reply.
Suddenly the mind says:
“They’re upset with me.”
“I’ve done something wrong.”
“This is going to turn into a problem.”

Your brain is trying to protect you by preparing you for danger, but what it does is it creates anxiety over situations that are not actually happening.

When you come for a session with me we look at how your thought patterns are working and help change the emotional response connected to them.

Sometimes changing the way you respond to a thought changes everything.

If you would like help managing anxiety or overthinking then pm me or call.

Mind Set Shift

You don’t have to solve everything today.

Some days are for progress and some days are simply for getting through.

And to be honest they both count.

There’s no need to put so much pressure on being constantly productive, positive, healing or improving yourself that you forget to be a human being not a machine.

If today feels heavy exhausting or even mentally noisy then maybe the goal doesn’t need to be fixing everything.

Maybe the goal is to just slow down enough to breathe properly again.

Drink some water, step outside for 5 minutes, reply to just one message instead of 10. Do things that will help your nervous system feel safe. Those small things can matter more than you realise.

You’re allowed to have days where your best looks different, and I’ll be reminding myself of that this week too.

Not every day is going to be a good day.

It’s not possible to be positive ALL the time.

You might have days where you just can’t pinpoint what’s wrong, you might feel like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders and not even know why.

But, guess what you’re allowed to have those days. I had one just recently so I reached out to one of my best friends.

Healing is learning how to support yourself through the range of feelings you might be experiencing, and that might include asking for help.

We often go through life not wanting to “bother” people by asking for help for anything, so we struggle on, but it’s in those moments of asking and receiving that we can move on quicker than if we were doing it on our own.

Find strength in knowing that someone cares enough to help you, and by allowing them to help you, you’re helping them.

Weekly Affirmations

Affirmations are a great way of rewiring your brain to focus on the positive which helps to reduce anxiety.

When anxiety rises, the mind often speeds up and the body follows.

The heart races, breathing becomes shallow and thoughts start spiralling.

In those moments is when affirmations can help interrupt the cycle and bring the nervous system back to calm.

One simple affirmation I often share is:

“I can slow my breath and my body will follow.”

Say it slowly while taking a gentle breath in and an even slower breath out.

The words are important because they remind your mind what is possible. The breathing is important because it signals safety to the body.

The more you repeat it, the more familiar calm begins to feel.

You don’t need to force yourself to relax, you are simply giving your mind and body a different message.

Try it today for the next week and notice what changes.

Listen to your body

For a few months my body had been trying to get my attention but I wasn’t really listening.

I have silent reflux which, what seemed like suddenly, became worse. My throat hurt, felt nauseous, tired, anxious and even started to worry that something serious was wrong.

I typically see a homeopath to help me with that and some stomach issues I have, but because it came on “suddenly” I thought I’d go to the doctors so I could get some tests. I’m one of those people who rarely goes. After a wee chat with the nurse practitioner, which led to her sending me for blood tests and a scan, I had a chat with my homeopath to fill her in with what has been happening.

We discovered something surprisingly simple.

Milk

Yup milk was the culprit, I had switched back to drinking semi skimmed milk instead of lactose free milk a few months earlier and I thought I was ok. I only ever have it in my coffee, several times a day. But little by little my body was reacting to it. Within days of switching back my symptoms had improved A LOT.

It made me reflect on how often we ignore what our body is trying to tell us. We normalise discomfort, maybe we even push through the exhaustion and we might sometimes look for solutions without first asking what might’ve actually causing the problem.

Medicine absolutely has its place and can be life saving, but sometimes we also need to pause and look more holistically at what we are eating, drinking, feeling and even tolerating.

But also how easy can the mind switch to “worse case scenarios“.

Pay attention to what your body is telling you, it often hits you with a feather first before hitting you with a truck.

Are you listening to your body?

One thing I often hear from clients is “I don’t know why I feel anxious because nothing is actually wrong.”

Anxiety does not always need a big reason. Sometimes the nervous system has simply been in stress mode for too long and no longer knows how to switch off.

When you come for a session we work on helping the mind and body reconnect so your system can begin to feel calm and safe again.

That’s what happened when this client came to see me.

“I feel lighter. It’s like my body can finally relax again.”

Your body is not working against you. It is trying to protect you.

If you would like help with anxiety then pm me or call.

Mindset Shift Idea

What do you actually need right now?

We spend so much time helping everyone else and seeing to their needs that we can sometimes stop noticing what our own needs are.

So today just pause for a moment , close your eyes and just check in with yourself properly.

Ask yourself What do I need more of right now? and What do I need less of?

It might be that you need more rest, more space, more honesty or even more quiet.

Maybe you feel like you need less pressure, less overthinking or less saying yes when you mean no.

Everyone has needs and your needs are not an inconvenience. It’s information that your body’s sending to your mind or vice versa.

When you ignore them for far too long they usually show up somewhere else. It might be in your stress levels, your mood, your energy or even your patience.

There’s no need to change your whole life overnight, all you have to do is make one small adjustment this next coming week that honours what it is you need.

Something that’s realistic and they supportive.

When we repeatedly make small changes they’re the ones that will create a lasting shift.

I’m listening to myself this week.

Practicing Self Care

When I was young, a long time ago, self care wasn’t something that was talked about.

We were told to “just get on with it”or it was seen as being lazy if you took time to yourself.

But self care is a more holistic approach to help you maintain or even perhaps improve your physical, mental and emotional health. It’s things like eating well, having a good sleep routine and getting enough sleep, setting boundaries and being able to relax so that it helps manage any stress and your overall well being.

Now self care is everywhere and people are realising how important it is.

It doesn’t have to be anything big. It can simply be lighting some candles, having an early night, I’ve done it his the last week and it’s made a difference to how I’ve felt, having a lovely healthy meal. But what you do doesn’t matter as much as how you treat yourself.

Don’t feel guilty about setting boundaries, listening to your body and recognising when your nervous system needs a break.

Self care has changed from survival to awareness. It’s changed from “keep going no matter what” to “what do I actually need right now?”

I’m learning to pay more attention to my body after a short illness period.

So self care can be as simple as that.

Self care isn’t selfish, it’s one of the most important investments that you can make in your wellbeing.

One of the hardest parts of self care for me is doing nothing, I can’t just sit and relax but I’m learning. So sometimes I just go for a walk which then helps me to relax, particularly if that walk involves going for a wee coffee.

What’s the hardest part of self care for you to actually practice?

Marina

Ok this coffee actually involved work, but I did walk here. 😂

Weekly Affirmations

Why do affirmations work for anxiety?

Because they help retrain your brain from shifting away from negative thoughts toward a more calm and rational view.

Like practicing gratitude the more you do it the more beneficial it is.

Anxiety is like a loop of negative self talk and affirmations replace that thought process with “I can’t” with “I can”.

With anxiety there’s a fear that this feeling will stay forever, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

When your heart races, your thoughts spiral and you can feel overwhelmed. Your emotions are like waves, they rise, peak and eventually settle.

One affirmation you can use when you feel like this is

“This feeling will rise and fall”

Just remind yourself that you’ve felt this way before, that has passed before so it will pass again.

Remember repetition is key to changing those subconscious thoughts. The feeling is only temporary.

What’s so special about hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy helps the process of mental and emotional change much easier and faster.

It can help you make positive changes to you belief system quicker than if you were just doing it yourself.

People with anxiety find that their minds are always active. They believe they always have to be in control of situations. They believe that life gets better from the outside in, instead of the inside out.

They believe they are not good enough, they lack confidence, self esteem.

But these are all just a belief.

With hypnotherapy I take you on a journey to declutter your mind from those beliefs, a journey where you can experience the new life free from those anxieties.

Many of my clients first words after coming out of hypnosis are “WOW”. They instantly feel lighter and freer.

Those old feelings of worry, stress, anxiety and negativity have gone.

When you come for a session you have nothing to lose except what has been holding you back and lots of things to gain, including feelings of happiness, positivity and relief that you are free from those old ways of thinking.

Hypnosis is only a part of what’s involved in a session and it’s nothing to worry about.

If you want to know more drop me a message.
