Important keepsakes

I keep quite a lot of keepsakes from my past (was gonna say past life) but I am not dead yet 😁

In this short video, I talk about keepsakes that, for me, are cherished items which I like to look at often.

They are personal to me and they bring back happy reminders for me to smile at and remember.

My best keepsake is the little pot of my daughter's teeth from her first years and I have showed them to her on a couple of occasions. She is 38 years old now and looks at them and says - "mum, why did you want to keep those".

Well, to be honest, I do not know but they are important to me as I had an emergency caesarean with her and they indicated that it would be either me or my baby that would survive. In the end it, we both made it. 😉

The other keepsakes are very important to me as they bring back happy memories and are of significant sentimental value.

My dance medals are important too and I was good at dancing and I even had a male dance partner named Mark and we kept in touch for quite a time after dance school.

My mum's broach is important too as she has Alzheimers now but I remember wearing this broach a lot.

Do you keep keepsakes that you like to look at from time to time.

Do they give you good memories of happy times in your life that you never forget and do you think it is important that we honour our happy memories with keepsake items.

Would love to know your views guys.

When you are not sure what you want.............

Question: What Is Your Desired Outcome For Your Future?

Remember it's all about the Solutions.

A solution is a method for solving a problem and an answer to a question.

At times in our lives when we have too much going on and/or we need to make changes in our lives, our minds go wild, our Amygdala will kick in to keep us safe and our body will be pumped with adrenaline and cortisol.

We need to take time to just sit down and ask ourselves - What outcome do I want for this situation? We need to let our Left Pre-Frontal Cortex take control to think positively and to tell the Amygdale to calm down and handle it.

So Desired Outcomes = It's about the Solutions. What Solution do I want to this question in my life, or my relationship or my work or my family?

With Solution-Focussed Hypnotherapy, you will be helped to find the solutions through talking, through questioning, through looking at the brain functions and through great relaxation and hypnotherapy.

My clients love it and they come through with new perspectives on their lives and new solutions to work on. When they leave me happy, my heart is singing for them.

It's all about the mind and how we think about life. Our mind affects our body and they need to work together.

Help them to work together by working with me in partnership. You will love the experience and I will love working with you.

Lets have a chat https://1l.ink/RVLDGWM

Life can be a Roller Coaster can't it?

"Life is a roller coaster. You just gotta ride it". I heard this song this morning on Radio 2 and I just got up and danced but also listened intently to the words.

As you can see from this pic, this is my life so far - up and down and all the bits in between so I have been riding my lifelong roller coaster.

You see we all have a story don't we? Our own lives are our stories and I love it when clients come to me and tell me their story. This is all part of the onboarding session where we get to know each other and I tell them about how their brains are handling their lives........... We even give them names.

Middle Aged ladies have long stories of ups and downs and caring for their families. Research highlights that Solution-Focussed Hypnotherapy can support these middle-aged ladies in navigating life's ups and downs by rewiring their stress responses and enhancing their emotional regulation.

Science-backed Hypnosis techniques empower these women to face challenges with greater calm and clarity.

It, of course, works for others too whatever their issue.

So, if you would like to have a chat with me about your ups and downs and how to understand them and tame them, then please book a 30 min. call with here here https://1l.ink/SRCBKQW

Monday Motivation

Well, it's Monday again and we are heading towards Springtime.

Why is it that we feel stressed and a bit p........d off on a Monday morning guys.

It was the same when we went to school wasn't it? I used to sit huddled up on our pouffe in front of the heater which used to shoot out warm air and I would dress myself there as it was warm.

Did you used to do this too?

It was Monday morning at school and we all used to say to ourselves - another week at school. Will I have to sit outside the headmasters room today? Is it P.E. today? Will I be bullied by that girl again?..............

Do we do the same on a Monday morning at work. Was it because we had just had a great weekend and been out dancing or drinking or simply that we do not like our job?

There are all manner of reasons for these feelings but these feelings usually start in the mind and go down to our bodies so we may start to feel unwell.

By the afternoon, things have perked up and we have usually forgotten our morning woes.

But, please remember not to be hard on yourself, try and formulate a positive Monday mindset, perhaps make one small change at work today and be pleased with yourself that you are working, earning money and that you are definitely worth it.

ONE SMALL CHANGE TODAY - LET ME KNOW WHAT THIS WILL BE GUYS. I WILL MAKE ONE SMALL CHANGE TODAY AS WELL.

YOU TELL ME YOURS AND I WILL TELL YOU MINE.

Have a great Monday and Springtime is coming very soon.

FRIDAY FUN 😆😛

I am a Hypnotherapist as you know and so I thought it might be a bit of fun if we had some jokes about what I practise. These have been googled of course as I have never heard jokes about Hypnotists and so if they are awful, then you can tell me. If they are funny, I hope you enjoy them and they give you a laugh after yesterday's freezing wind.

Here we go:

"I went to a Hypnotist to stop procrastinating, but I will tell you about that later" ☺️

"My hypnotist told me that I was a chicken and now I'm paying for therapy to stop laying eggs" 😁

"The hypnotist said - you are getting sleepy and I replied, That's the third time that you have said that to me today!"

"I was hypnotised to love vegetables and now I'm in a relationship with a carrot"😬

"The hypnotist told me to think of my happy place, so I thought of the bank" 🤑

"I was hypnotised to forget my ex, but I still can't remember where I put my keys"😉

AND LASTLY

"I asked my hypnotist to help me with my money problems; he took my wallet and said - You won't miss it"🙄

Well they were a bit corny weren't they?

Do you have any funny jokes, even googled, about your profession.

I am sure that we would love to hear them for fun today.

Don't be afraid to come to me for some hypnotherapy. I also work online you know and I won't make you bark like a dog or quack like a chicken. I promise.

11/03/2026

Well what do you know? The sun is out today and everything in the world looks good doesn't it?

And that is what happens. When the sun is out, our adrenaline is banished to the bottom of the cupboard along with our cortisol. Our serotonin and our oxytocin, and to a certain extend, our dopamine levels rise up as we feel rewarded for having some of the yellow stuff and feeling a bit better than we did yesterday.

Our bodies are amazing bits of equipment as you know but I do not think that we taken them seriously enough to be honest.

We go through each day maybe wishing things were better and wishing that certain things would just go away and leave us alone.

The body and the brain work so well together don't they.
If we have an icky feeling in our body then our mind thinks that we are ill and do not have long to live if we catastrophize.

If our mind is playing up and we feel sad and tense around the neck and shoulders, our body wants to compete with us and so it gives us a headache or really stiff shoulders which makes us feel sad.

So guys, let's give our minds and bodies a clap and tell them how clever they are to keep us going and, when the sun is out, to keep us happy.

Let's remember our minds and our bodies and tell them that we understand that they can both make us feel icky or great but we love them anyway.

If you would like to have a chat about how I could help you if you always feel icky, please use this link https://1l.ink/2GLPQC5

THE WAR IN IRAN and DOGS

Happy Monday everyone and hope you have a great week and to all those wonderful women (including me) who celebrated yesterday and I hope you have had or will have some great celebrations.

So, IRAN. I have spent the last couple of days trying to help my brother who works in Kuwait. He is an English teacher at a large university over there and he managed to take the very last flight from Oman back to Kuwait on 28th February.

An explosion over his apartment block 3 nights ago with sirens going off has really frightened him and he is trying to get back to Saudi Arabia where he used to work. He is now driving the 700 kms back from Kuwait to Riyadh next Thursday with 5 others as his HR company said that teachers can all work from abroad remotely.

I get news from him every day and just want him out of there.

DOGS. This weekend has been awful as it's the first weekend without Twiglet. We would have heard her scuttling around the kitchen whilst we were eating and wanting to lick the plates. It's so quiet and I am wondering whether she knew when we carried her in to the vets on Tuesday that it was the end. She was very quiet but kept wanting to lick us.

This is a very random post about two very different personal things but if anybody has family or friends over in the Middle East who are trying to get home, let's chat or let me know how they are.

You know what they say -"IT'S GOOD TO TALK".

I will need some hypnotherapy for this.

Happy Friday Ladies. May I ask you a question today:

If you are at midlife, for me midlife being between 45 and 65, are you currently experiencing a touch of brain fog, emotions that are on fire, feeling up or angry that you are not getting enough sleep, have too much to do, your children are growing up and their emotions are on fire as well.

Are you working full or part time but you still have to organise your kids in the morning before you go to work?

Is your job to do most of the family admin. including booking the family holidays, organising the shopping, looking after your kid's school stuff in addition to worrying about their future, perhaps looking after elderly parents as well and trying to get a good night's with menopause symptoms adding to "workload".

Are you thinking - "What's in it for me now" "Why has my life changed so much" "I have done so much for my family and I want a life now" "but how"?

I have been there and I know that it sucks sometimes as you deserve to have a life that you desire but you are constantly thinking about and looking after your family.

"Bucket List" what's that then you might say. I know - I have one too but have not yet ticked off the first item.

Let's work together so that I can get you you life back.

You will succeed with my help.

Let's talk soon. Contact me via my website www.darkness2lighthypnotherapy.co.uk

How many of you have pets that work with you?

How do they reduce your stress levels during your work days?

It's lovely that cuddling your pet releases a hormone called Oxytocin, which is proven to lower stress and blood pressure.

Many studies have shown that spending just 10 minutes with a dog during your day can significantly reduce Cortisol which is the body’s main stress hormone.

For middle-aged women especially juggling busy lives, daily time with their pets can boost their mood, support their emotional balance and improve their overall well-being.

I have actually worked in companies that have allowed workers' dogs to be in the office during the day and it has definitely helped the stress levels by being able to stroke them as I walked past and to see their calm faces during the day.

I believe that this should generally be allowed as it would certainly reduce stress levels in stressful work places.

Let me know your thoughts.

Should dogs or other pets be allowed in the work place at some time during the working day or even all day?

FRIDAY FUN

OK, Solution-Focussed Hypnotherapy????

Solution - A means of solving a problem or dealing with a difficult situation and not on this occasion a liquid mixture in which the minor component (the solute) is uniformly distributed within the major component (the solvent) 😁

Focussed - Describes a state of intense objective, a task, or area of interest. Determined attention or focussed effort to stay focussed on goals 😆

Hypnotherapy - A state of highly focussed concentration, reduced peripheral awareness and heightened suggestibility often used for therapeutic purposes such as managing pain, reducing anxiety, treating phobias and breaking habits. It induces a relaxed trance-like state that makes the subconscious more open to suggestions to change behaviours or perceptions. A scientifically backed tool for behavioural and physical health 😱

FRIDAY FUN - WHAT THE HELL.

I have to say that we have quite a lot of fun too and the client usually leaves with a smile on their face and not because, whilst in trance, I have tickled their feet or made them bark like a dog or quack like a chicken 😁

NO, NOT ME SHE SAYS.....

I treat my clients very kindly and the proof is here to see in my testimonials if you would care to look 👀
https://1l.ink/XK7JQ5X

Oh go on, believe me, I will not be like a stage hypnotist but will treat you kindly and you will gain knowledge, have fun and be very relaxed when we finish our sessions.

Due Diligence - we hear a lot of this don't we guys when we are talking about very large and large businesses and when I worked in Corporate Finance, we had Due Diligence for all our deals which comprised many many lever arch files full of legal documentations.

BUT, should we all do it?

Yes — even very small businesses should do Due Diligence for our businesses.

I suppose we must think of it more as a "business health check"

Why It Matters for Small Businesses:

1. We are more vulnerable to hidden risks such as:

a. Informal agreements

b. Missing documentation

c. Ourselves as we run our businesses.

2. But we might want to:

a. Apply for a loan

b. Bring in a partner

c. Sell the business or

d. Face a dispute

What “Due Diligence” should look like for a Small Business

Clean, up-to-date bookkeeping.

Clear separation of personal and business expenses.

Realistic profit margin.

Can the business run if you’re sick for a certain amount of time.

There are so many things to consider when running our businesses. For example, I did not work for several months last year as I was facing my health issue and my need for an operation in October and so I thought about it, however, I did not and I am carrying on despite not having earned a penny since October unfortunately.

My business is my passion. I know that as solopreneurs, we can all face these issues.

Do you do a Health Check whenever you can?

Look to the future for what you do want, not what you don’t.

Solution-focussed hypnotherapy is about looking to the future and working towards what you want, not what you don’t want. All of my clients have the tools they need to unlock their future they want, and hypnotherapy helps them to use what’s already within, to make the changes they need in order to achieve their goals. My work will help you to understand what is happening in your intellectual and primitive mind when stress, anxiety, anger and depression happen. We usually respond in the same way in situations and sometimes, we just need to find a different approach. Through various techniques, I work with the sub-conscious mind to make changes for my clients, to help them to see things from a positive perspective which will have an influence over their thoughts and patterns of behaviour. It’s so wonderful to see the transformation in my clients so they can look to the future more positively. I show them their results online, which I can print out for them to take away.

My relaxation MP3, given to them at their Initial Consultation will also help them to sleep better. I offer a free consultation, so please do contact me or let someone else know about me if you think they need my help.
