New blog: “Does va**ng actually relax you? The truth about stress and your v**e” explores why that calming feeling might not be what it seems - ni****ne is a stimulant, not a relaxant. Read the facts, learn what’s happening in your body and discover healthier ways to manage stress. Read more: https://wix.to/JHdrg1d **ng

You've had a stressful day. That meeting ran over and your shoulders are tight. Your mind is racing with action points weighing down your to-do list, which you could frankly do without. You reach for your v**e and within seconds, you feel calmer. The v**e is working, right? What if I told you it's n...

Is it me, or is January quite tough this year? I thought I’d feel the new year energy and momentum for fresh starts and new resolutions. But the universe had other ideas, and I’m ok with that. Maybe January isn’t all about action and commanding your super-powers. Maybe it’s a better time for planning and envisioning what will make you happiest over the coming months.

In hypnotherapy, we spend a lot of time in our “Favourite Place of Relaxation.” So let’s talk about that. For many people it’s a beach, soft white sand, bright blue sea and a warm salty breeze. For others it could be lake in a forest. For some it’s even their cosy living room at home.

TV, magazines and the internet seem full of ads for holiday destinations right now. You know, allowing yourself to dive into those crystal blue waters we see on our screens in exotic far off places isn’t bad thing. A little self-indulgent dreaming about where we want to go on our summer holidays is one way to beat the January blues, even if it seems a million miles away from the cold and misty winter weather right now.

So, if you could go anywhere in the world, to your favourite place of relaxation and your budget’s no question – where would you transport yourself to?

The cobbled streets of Santorini? Lemon groves in the Amalfi Coast? Cherry blossom in Japan? Forest bathing by a lake? Or an idyllic desert island beach?

I really hope dreaming about booking your summer holiday is a little trick to get through winter. However if you’re one of the 1 in 4 people who experiences some kind of fear or anxiety about flying, please don’t let it hold you back. We can work on that, so that you feel more in control and can start looking forward to your summer break.

But for now, let’s imagine the perfect summer get away and please give me your suggestions for 2026 holiday destination below (or DM me) – and whether you’re excited or nervous about the thought of flying there.

What’s happening in your body when you quit va**ng?
You’ve made a decision to quit va**ng this January. That’s brilliant. But what’s actually going on in your body as you withdraw from your va**ng habit?
Many people fear the withdrawal lasts weeks. It doesn’t work like that.
Here’s the timeline of how your body quickly starts to heal when you quit & the changes you can expect to see, to keep you motivated:
Hour 12: 93% of the ni****ne has already left your body. The half-life of ni****ne is pretty fast. What you’re feeling at this point isn’t your body needing ni****ne. It’s more likely to be your brain craving its familiar pattern & habit.
Day 3: This is the peak. You could feel on edge or irritable. But here’s the thing to keep you going - if you can get through day three, you’ve climbed the steepest part. It genuinely gets easier from here.
Week 1: The physical symptoms start to ease. The body is adjusting. Acute withdrawal is subsiding. The new way of being starts to feel increasingly normal. You’re laying down new patterns now.
Weeks 2-4: Your body has largely adjusted. The physical withdrawal is mostly complete. What remains is behavioural - navigating random cravings triggered by specific situations. Your brain is processing & saying goodbye to a long-standing pattern.
Within weeks: Lung function is improving. Taste & smell are restored. Healthier gums. More sustained energy. Your skin looks better
Some people say they think about va**ng more in weeks 2-4, even though they are feeling physically better. That’s not lack of willpower, it’s the brain processing & laying down the new healthier habit.
What blocks most people isn’t the physical withdrawal, it’s not knowing what to expect. And the anticipation is often worse than the reality.
The real secret most people don’t know is that ni****ne doesn’t relax you. It’s the breath inhalation & exhalation when you take a drag.
You are definitely stronger than any craving. You can definitely do this & enjoy the difference you are making to your health & wellbeing.

Save this for when you need it, or share with someone it might help.

The new year’s a great time for planting seeds of positive change & personal development we’d like to see moving into Spring. There’s fresh energy & momentum for growth & renewal.

If you want to take this freshness & apply it to your work to keep this positive outlook & help boost daily productivity (while maintaining work life balance & energy levels here are some ideas.

💡Get to know your baseline stress levels

Not all stress is bad. It’s part of our survival instinct & a little good stress will help us perform our best, meet deadlines or get us out of danger. However, it’s not sustainable & we need to balance periods of rest & digest.

So it’s helpful to check in with yourself & notice your stress triggers. If ‘normal’ is a high level of stress, it might not take much to push you over the edge. Whereas if you can lower your baseline stress level, there’s more bandwidth to accommodate those triggers. And when you become aware of a small increase in your stress level, it’s easier & quicker to take a small intervention to bring the temperature back down, before it bubbles over.

So what small interventions can you take when you find yourself stressed at work?

1. Step away from your desk and take a pause. We’re aerobic animals, designed to move. Sitting hunched at desks, really isn’t good for us over prolonged periods. So make it a priority to get up & move after 45-50 minutes of focused work. Perhaps make a cup of tea, walk around or stand up & do some stretches.

2. Focus on your breath & take long slow inhales through the nose, hold the breath a few seconds & breathe out even more slowly, controlling the breath. This sends a biological instruction to your nervous system to physically calm down.

3. Taking a break from tasks or trying to solve an issue will allow your thoughts to settle. The way the mind works, when we quieten our thoughts, very often a solution or idea will emerge, so you can come back with more clarity.

4. Finally, get outside & have walk. Make it a non-negotiable every day at lunch time to leave the building & connect with your environment.

NEW INTENTIONS AND HEALTHY HABITS FOR 2026. I love the energy & freshness of the new year. Leaving behind the baggage, heaviness & unhealthy habits of the past year & wiping the slate clean. Revisiting the things we meant to do. Doing the things that nourish, motivate & energise us. It’s a new year & time for the true you.

What are my top 10 priorities for a New Year True You?
🏃🏼‍MOVE MORE – in whatever way lights you up. It doesn’t have to be the gym. It could be a walk at lunch time, yoga, a gentle jog or even gardening. Anything that gets the endorphins buzzing, makes you feel good & boosts our mental health.
🛌🏼GET A BETTER NIGHT’S SLEEP – I know for many of us that is easier said than done, but is vital for good physical health & mental focus. If you struggle with sleep, make 2026 the year you put a plan in place to address this.
🏆MORE SELF-BELIEF – You are amazing, & if you don’t believe that, you need to. If you keep telling yourself you’re not enough, this is the year to change the record.
💃🏼DANCE! – We know that dancing makes you feel good & is great exercise, but recent research is linking dance as one of the best ways to avoid dementia in later life due to the complex interspatial processing & motor learning.
🧑🏼‍💻GET AI FLUENT – The stable door is open & like it or not AI is here. Learn how to vibe engineer AI prompts to do your job better & understand the pitfalls that will turn your work into AI slop.
🍂GET OUT IN NATURE – Or you can watch one of my new year videos and find out why I think this is important
🥕EAT A HEALTHY DIET - As the saying goes, “You are what you eat”.
⭐SHINE! – And notice how your brightness touches & lights up those around you. It’s a New Year True You.
🧑🏼‍🎓LEARN A NEW SKILL – What will help you achieve your goals, progress in your career or feel good about yourself?
🧘🏼‍FIND MOMENTS OF CALM – Whether it’s mindfulness, restorative yoga or meditation, find time to quieten the mind & body. Take a few moments to press pause & listen to one of the guided meditations you can download via the link in my bio.
