2 sides of the same bridge.

Viewed seconds apart.

One calm and tranquil; one frenetic and turbulent.

Same water viewed from different angles.

————————-

So many things have different viewpoints.

It is up to us how we look

We can look, pause, turn and look again.

And find tranquility right in front of us.

If you could wave a magic wand just now.....

What would your life look like?

You might think:

- I'd have won a million pounds on the Lottery
- I'd have a new job
- I'd be pregnant
- I'd be phobia free
- I'd have had a good night's sleep

Whatever it is that would make that magical difference to your life is entirely personal to you.

Only you can decide.

The main thing is to identify it, and imagine clearly how your life would be transformed.

In the process you may hear protests from your emotional primitive mind:

- I don't deserve it
- It's too hard
- I'll probably fail
- The odds against it are too great
- It's not the right time

Our primitive mind hates change. That part of the brain loves everything to carry on the same. Why change when you're here and safe doing what you always do??

Our primitive mind is not interested in what makes us happy and fulfillled. Only our survival.

So this is when we need our rational minds to step up, to quieten the fears and the doubts.

Last week a 12 year old girl came to see me with a phobia of being trapped.

I asked her: What would it be like to have the problem gone? To not be afraid anymore?

She looked at me baffled. There was a long pause.

Then suddenly her face relaxed and lit up...

I'd be able to go on the Underground, I could get on a plane, I'd be able to be anywhere without worrying about my escape route.

After the session I received a grateful text from her mother:

For the first time she is open to the possibility that her phobia might not be permanent.

The gates had opened, even if only a little way. But just enough to let in the first light rays of possibility of change.

To allow some positive magical thinking to do its work

One forward step at a time.

Spring is full of broken promises

And can be destabilising.

One warm and sunny day is followed by cold wind and rain

Just when we thought winter was behind us.

Even the most senior business executives need support from time to time. The obvious choice may be a coach. Although the benefits of hypnotherapy are now increasingly recognised as achieving results of another level.

There is a fundamental difference between coaching and hypnotherapy:

The first talks to the intellectual mind; the second addresses that too but also the emotional part. And this is where the prime mover of human behaviour lies.

There is much common ground. The first part of a hypnotherapy session is solution focused just as in a coaching one: defining goals, imagining the new persona, what it would take to get there, reinforcing existing talents and so on.

Progress happens through gentle and challenging questions, not giving advice.

So far so similar.

The second part of the hypnotherapy session is its powerhouse.

Where the person enters into deep relaxation, huge shifts can occur. Old limiting patterns of thinking are released, allowing space for more productive thoughts and feelings to embed themselves.

It often feels magical. « I don’t know why I feel different but I do » is a frequent comment after a few sessions.
The fact is, it’s our feelings that govern our thoughts and our behaviour follows accordingly.

A coachee can rationally know what he/she should be thinking and doing, but putting it into practice is different.

Hypnotherapy speaks to those parts, other methods can’t reach, which is why it can be so transformative.

Hypnotherapy is a terrible business model.

It has one big problem. That of its own success. And speed.

It can take just 6 sessions for people to feel differently. More calm, relaxed, confident and optimistic.

We can be just getting to know each other and suddenly you’re on the right path, facing in the right direction.

It works for so many problems:

- phobias
- anxiety and stress
- poor sleep
- lack of self confidence
- weak personal boundaries

And much more….

It’s relaxing, enjoyable and often lots of fun.

Equally effective in person or online.

Just don’t expect to be hanging around too long!

How do company bosses cope

With all the stress and responsibility?

All those employees and shareholders generating never ending expectations

Dependent on every decision, every judgement.

One of the ways they manage is by

Compartmentalising

In Finland there is a growing practice in families to have a worrying hour. At the same time every day.
The purpose is to put aside worrying topics until the designated time. This limits the rumination loop which can be exhausting.

Another is by

Constantly the best outcome of every well thought out strategy.The power of positive thinking is considerable. Such expectations are more likely to become reality.

And positive thinking produces more serotonin which in itself diminishes the stress hormone cortisol.

And a third is by

Letting go

This might sound counter-intuitive. Surely a boss needs to be in control all the time?

However, delegating to a well chosen team is not only empowering for them, it generates support for the person at the top. And can be liberating.

Is it ever too late.......

To change careers?

In my 60s I was a busy restaurant consultant in London, with decades of experience of owning businesses in the hospitality sector.

I was at the age when most people retire, so why start a new career, when I could have been taking life easy?

Learnings from my Psychology degree had accompanied my stressful business life, and one day I suddenly had a light bulb moment.

I was driven to fix my own anxiety and then to train as a hypnotherapist to help other people fix theirs.

After the initial elation, oodles of self doubt manifested themselves:

- Was I too old?
- Would I be thought of as fickle?
- Would I be able to match other therapists with decades of experience?

These worries were kindly dispelled by the course tutor who insisted that my life and business experience would be an asset.

It's a few years now since qualifying as a hypnotherapist but the tutor's words resonated recently when a newly made redundant client found my profile while scrolling through Google.

At the end of our informal chat, he said:

"I noticed your experience owning cafes and restaurants. My wife and I have been talking about opening a little place, perhaps you might be able to help with this too!"

This morning and I went to the bank of the Thames for a personal ceremony of gratitude and appreciation.

If this sounds a bit woo woo, think on this; the flow of the river is a constant. Whatever we do or don’t do the water keeps on coming and going.

Great cities are often built on rivers. They are a city’s beating heart.

They have enabled the transport of goods and people over centuries. And commerce to flourish.

Today they are a magnet for tourists taking selfies against a backdrop of London’s famous monuments.

But a city’s river can also be a focus point for self introduction and appreciation.

And that’s what we did today.
