🌟This morning I was looking on LinkedIn and saw this quote mentioned in a post:

'It is never too late to be what you might have been', written by the English author George Eliot (1819-1880) whose real name was Mary Ann Evans.

🌟It's a favourite of mine. In fact I once bought a greetings card with the very same quote. Thought it might come in useful for someone who needed a confidence boost. But I never sent it, and to this day it sits in my desk drawer. I often encounter it when I'm rummaging about. It's become my 'message to self'.

🌟I bought that card 21 years ago. A bit of self compassion goes a long way, thanks George!

International Self Care Day
July 24th!

International Self Care Day, it's today!

🌟Why is it so important that we are as compassionate to ourselves as we are to others?
🌟Because compassion is noticing that something is wrong, including within ourselves, and wanting to help.
🌟So why is it often so hard to help ourselves - is it because we think we aren't worth it?

Here are some of the ways that self compassion can help:
💟 Improved mental health, more positivity and less negativity
💟 Increased resilience
💟 Better life satisfaction
💟 Improved levels of emotional and behavioural regulation

But if you're not sure how to start, or where to go for help, why not give me a call and learn about how hypnotherapy could make a difference?

🥰 Did you know that it was 'Be kind to spiders week'? Me neither! Now I'm not hugely keen on spiders, but for some people they are terrifying.
🥰 Hypnotherapy can be very successful in helping you overcome this kind of phobia, and often only four sessions are required.
🥰 So if you would like to change the way you think and feel about these little creatures who are so important to our ecosystem, then get in touch.
🥰 And please get in touch if you would like to discuss help for any other phobia!

🌟Just wanted to share something that not only surprised me, but gave me a bit of a buzz too! Finally I have seen hypnotherapy being promoted within the NHS 😀😀😀

🌟This information leaflet was on the bedside locker in a surgical unit at Leicester General Hospital. It explains how hypnotherapy can help with pre op anxiety, coping with the operation, and also during recovery. The Royal College of Anaesthetists and the British Society of Clinical and Academic Hypnosis have worked together to develop recordings which are available to download. These recordings help patients to relax and develop a positive mindset about surgery.

🌟Access the information via the rcoa.ac.uk website and search 'hypnotherapy' as the QR code wont work from the photo, but I just wanted to share the news 😀😀😀

Hi there, it's been a while! However, good news to share. I have finally finished my therapy room which means that I can now see clients in person. Really pleased with the end result, just waiting for some blinds which should be here this week. Have a look and see whether this might be right for you. Just in case you were wondering, I'm still seeing clients online.

And remember, the initial consultation is free.

🌟 In the Lincolnshire Wolds, easy reach of Louth & Horncastle
🌟 Quiet and private rural setting
🌟 Wheelchair accessible
🌟 Parking adjacent to the building

3️⃣ 5th most common reason for sickness absence in 2022 was mental health

If this is you, get in touch and learn how to make the changes you need to feel back in control.

OCTOBER - Menopause awareness month is here!

🌟Remember that hypnotherapy can help if you are struggling with the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause.

🌟Do you feel tired, depressed, lost confidence, brain fog, anxious, can't sleep, hot flushes?

🌟Check in with your GP first so that you're sure about the diagnosis and whether hormone replacement therapy may be appropriate or contraindicated.

🌟Recent research has shown that clinical hypnotherapy has consistently demonstrated significant improvements in sleep quality, hot flushes, and mood.

🌟Give me a call or message me and we can start to make a difference and get you back to feeling like you again.

Plenty here for other young peoples' groups to think about 💜💜💜

💜We are very proud to announce the launch of the Riders Minds Pony Club Achievement Badges, which will help to educate and support the younger generation of equestrians on the importance of mental health and well-being.🙌

🩷At Riders Minds we passionately believe that we should invest in the future generations, and we are especially proud of this collaboration, which has been led by Riders Minds mental health expert, Sylvia Bruce.

✨ In Eastern Spiritual traditions they say there is a Wind Horse who exudes powerful positive energy that has the capacity to influence outcomes, people, and society.

✨ They believe that horses inspire us to have faith and believe in positive outcomes within our own lives.

✨ Have you looked for your own Wind Horse?

👩‍🏫I've recently had an invite to a school reunion, as have some other folk I know. Here's me aged 6 in my first school photo! And it got me thinking.....
👩‍🏫I enjoyed school, but I know it wasn't the same for everyone. There were the good looking ones, the sporty ones, the brainy ones, the funny ones, and then there were those whose characteristics and personalities maybe didn't quite fit with the 'norms' of the times. Those who were often last to be picked for teams in games lessons, such a cruel experience for children.
👩‍🏫So, how kind were you to those who were different?

🎉🎉 Well in my experience, those people who were different often went on to make some of the biggest differences to others when they grew up. Winners in the end. Just saying!

🎉🎉So be kind, for that absolutely does make a difference.
