Manifestation. Worth the read. I was going to write about the subject but Helen Thompson does a better job of it.

Got a minute? Let's play a timing game.

It is called “what can you do in one minute”. Time management is such an important part of a life balance, and yet, we still can't seem to manage our time.

Some people are always late, others super early, and others that plan their time to an extreme and can’t be flexible for changing it.

I was fortunate to attend a free time management course at work when I lived in Washington DC. The focus wasn't just time, but how we spend it and how much we give to each activity, as well as how we prioritise the most important parts of our day/week/month/year.

So many of my clients told me they don't have "enough time". I have talked about this before, so I thought it would be fun to share with you a reminder by making it into a game.

Think of all the things you can do in one minute. Then do it based on five minutes. Usually, it's the time we use to just checking our phones instead of doing something enjoyable or beneficial to our well being, or truly productive. Here are my examples. Try timing yourself and see what you can do in just one minute.

1-Minute Activities
1. Take 6 deep belly breaths – helps calm your nervous system fast.
2. Stretch your arms overhead – boosts circulation and eases tension.
3. Sip a glass of WATER mindfully – refreshing and grounding.
4. Smile (even if forced) – triggers a small mood boost.
5. Write down one thing you’re grateful for – shifts your mindset positively.

5-Minute Activities
1. Step outside for fresh air – reconnect with nature and reset your mind.
2. Do a short guided meditation or body scan – relaxes and centers you.
3. Listen to one uplifting song – music can shift your energy quickly.
4. Write a quick journal entry – clear your thoughts or set an intention.
5. Do light movement (yoga flow, squats, or dancing) – energizes and relieves stress.

When I want to be productive, I make phone calls when I know I’m going to be on hold and just go for a walk while I’m on hold. It’s productive and good for my body instead of sitting a desk on hold. I will also call a friend I haven’t spoken to in a while to say “hi, how are you”. Good for me, good for them.

Have fun and play daily

“Play it again Sam”

Sometimes I feel like a broken record, but hay, I personally love listening to the same song twice in a row. 📀

I’m referring to advice on mental and physical wellbeing.

It doesn’t matter what the presenting condition is from a client, because more than half the time my advice will often be the same.

If you suffer from anxiety, depression, IBS, headaches, low self-esteem, arthritis, aches in muscles, or you have bad habits because of too much stress; like smoking, nail biting, drinking, or lack of sleep, then print this off and carry it with you.

1. Breathe six times deeply for 1 minute when stressed and say any affirmation you need at the time on your exhale. Sometimes it will be “I am calm and in control” or “I am confident and empowered”. ⏱
2. Exercise daily! This 3 times a week belief is old and useless. You can fit it into your day. 🏊‍♂️🚴🤸‍♀️
3. Schedule your day. You have 24 hours every day. Focus on what you are doing at that time. Work then work, eat – eat, sleep – sleep, exercise – exercise, social time etc. switch off all distractions while you focus. Set timers. ⌚️
4. Eat well – Mediterranean diet, take care of your gut, no excessive sugar or processed foods. Stop excessive drinking or eating until the plate is clean. Simple. 🍎
5. Be Happy! Smile to yourself now. See! Music, watch a quick funny clip, big stretch, gratitude, meditate, breathe, so simply, free and effective. 🤣

Read, repeat, and live well.

Good luck on GCSE Results!

Remember regardless of your grade results, it doesn't define all of the amazing skills and talents you possess.

I received poor grades in High School but became a straight A student in Uni. Every school year is a new beginning. This September set a goal for yourself and go for it! 💪👊👏🙌

Boost Your Mood Instantly, for Free

Sometimes you need a quick shift, whether you're feeling down or overwhelmed. The great news is, you already have powerful tools at your disposal. Try one of these simple, effective, and completely free ways to change your mood right now.

1. Tune Into Music
Music is an instant mood lifter. It can energize you or calm you down. Put on a song that makes you want to dance, a piece that reminds you of a great memory, or something soothing and instrumental. Let the rhythm and melody do the work. So simple, easy and works instantly.

2. Move Your Body
Getting outside and moving is one of the quickest ways to change your mental state. Go for a walk around the block, a local park, or even just in your backyard. Can't get outside? No problem. Watch a video of a nature walk on a platform like YouTube. Your brain responds to vivid imagery in a similar way to reality, so you can still get the calming effects of nature from your couch. (Example is to think of a scary film and remember how you "got scared" from the suspense). You Tube is full of nature walks or watch the nature channel.

3. Cook or Bake Something
The simple acts of chopping, stirring, and creating can be incredibly grounding. Focus on the sensory experience—the smell of fresh herbs, the feel of dough, the warmth from the oven. Even making a simple cup of tea can be a meditative and calming ritual.

4. Connect with a Pet
The bond with a dog or cat can do wonders for your well-being. Petting an animal has been shown to lower cortisol (the stress hormone) and increase oxytocin (the "love hormone"). If you don't have a pet, consider visiting a friend who does, or spending time with animals at a local shelter.

5. Try a Temperature Shift
A quick change in temperature can be incredibly invigorating. A brisk, cold shower can jolt your system and increase alertness. On the other hand, a warm or hot bath is perfect for relaxing and unwinding tense muscles. Choose what your body needs in the moment to feel better. I love both. After swimming, I wouldn't miss the one minute cold shower before taking a hot one to wash off the chlorine.

6. Use Your Brilliant Mind
Your thoughts are your most powerful tool. You can use affirmations to shift your mindset or try a technique called self-distancing.

• Positive Affirmations: Say positive statements out loud, either to yourself or in the mirror. "I am resilient and capable," or "I am grateful for this moment."

• Self-Distancing:
Self-distancing, is considering how we would view a situation in the future or advising a friend in the same situation. You can even talk in the second or third person (you, he/she/they). "You can do this!", "we can solve this", or "She/he is unstoppable superhero!”.

Self distancing can also work if you think about the immediate situation happening presently in the future. How will I really feel about this in three months time, and what could I have done to make it better at that time. It can give you better clarity. It really does work.

You can trust me. I'm your friendly hypnotherapist and I'm happy!

Meaningful Friendships (Or Is It an Acquaintance… or a Bestie?)

As I prepare to go home in September for a visit with family and friends, I find myself marvelling at all the different levels of friendship I’ve formed with people around the world. Some are ride-or-die besties, some are “smile and wave” acquaintances, and some fall somewhere in the mysterious in-between zone like “We shared a bottle of wine once and now we like each other’s Instagram posts.”

I reflect on how we met, was it school, work, random life moments, or one of those “I don’t remember exactly how but I’m glad we did” stories.

Have you ever tried to count how many friends you actually have? It's impossible. Friendships are like socks in the laundry, as some disappear, some lose their match, and once in a while, you find one you didn’t even know you had.

So, what even is a friend? Cue the philosophical pondering music.

It's complicated. (Of course it is.) We have researchers dedicated to figuring out how to make and keep friends. There are actual classes on how to “win friends” (though I suspect it involves snacks). But despite all that, friendships still sometimes end due to illness, distance, mistrust, or accidentally liking a very old photo on someone’s feed.

And yet, I’m amazed at how I can go years without seeing someone, and when we finally meet up, it feels like we picked up right where we left off, minus a few extra wrinkles and life lessons. One of my closest friends? I couldn’t stand them when we first met. Go figure.

I’ve stayed connected with former clients, au pairs, even that one person who just happen to have the same daily walking route and began to chat, you get the idea. The relationship may have started professionally or unplanned, but it transformed into something deeper, funnier, and more meaningful over time.

What makes a friendship stick? It’s a mix of time (both hours and years), quality conversations (deep ones and the ridiculous ones), shared interests, proximity, a similar sense of humor, compatible weirdness, and the ability to forgive each other for texting back three days later.

As the old saying goes: “A good friend will help you move. A best friend will help you move a body.” (Kidding! Mostly.)

Did you know scientists can actually predict if two people are friends just by scanning their brains while showing them pictures? Apparently, true friendship lights up the same areas of the brain. So technically, friendship is… a vibe. A neurological one.

As I get ready to reunite with people from every chapter of my life from childhood pals, travel buddies, and recent additions, I’m filled with gratitude. I don’t care how we met. I just care that we stayed connected.

Because at the end of the day: “You don’t have to be crazy to be my friend. I’ll train you.”

So, here’s to meaningful friendships. Besties, acquaintances, and the nutters we just haven’t met yet.

Change Anything!

Clients often say, "I tried", "I should", "I can't". Rubbish!

It's often down to their mindset.

What do you think about the word "mindset"? My brain would quickly get the definition, and then I would question if it’s still a true definition based on what we know now about the brain.

The brain is smart (pause for smile). It changes, it grows new synopsis, it has neuroplasticity. Really cool. Look at this definition and say “wow”.

Neuroplasticity, also known as neural plasticity or brain plasticity, is the brain's remarkable ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. This ability allows the brain to adapt to new experiences, learn new things, recover from injury, and adjust to changing environments.

Good news is that it applies to any and all changes you want to achieve in life. Set a goal and go for it!

I’m not accepting "I tried", "I should", "I can't". I’m telling you, “Do it, you will, and you can”. I can prove it! Lecture over and enjoy your day.

The Fun of Time Distortion

There are 21 phenomenon of hypnosis including time distortion, catalepsy, amnesia, hypermnesia (unusual power or enhancement of memory), anaesthesia, hallucinations, weight (heavy/light) age regression and progression, and analgesia amongst others.

One of my favourites is time distortion. When a client comes out of a trance with an extreme time distortion of believing it lasted 3 minutes or 2 hours, when the actual time was 30 minutes, it makes me laugh because I’ve experienced it several times.

In everyday life we can have the same phenomenon happen regularly in small and large chunks. There are loads of examples, such as five minutes can seem like one second when you are trying to finish something before you have to leave, or when stuck in traffic and it feels like an hour has gone by and you’ve only moved five feet forward. Our expressions sum up feelings when something was difficult, like “it was the longest day” or a fun event, “time flew by”.

It is not just minutes, and hours, but weeks and months and years.

Today when I looked at my diary and realised Friday is 1st August, my first thought was, “unbelievable, where is the time going”. July has been an incredible month with so many great life events packed into 31 days. It just was a little dumbfounding to think how it all happen in such a short amount of space.

I believe when a day ends that was full of joy and great experiences, it’s nice to reflect on the feeling because I know that memory will always bring back the sense of happiness. I had that experience just yesterday, and I still feel it today, thus, my post for today came from time distortion both from the past and future. Wow, what fun!

Remember whenever you have a fabulous day, to lock in the memory before you fall asleep by either squeezing your thumb and forefinger together or putting your hand over your heart, and think about the whole day before you fall asleep and let it sink into your heart, mind and soul.

Have a nice time!

Had fantastic lunch last week at Mount St Restaurant which features various artists. This was literally mesmerising, and as a hypnotherapist - I LOVED IT! Take 15 seconds and chill.
