Anger and Upset - How do your manage this?

My post yesterday was about dealing with a Spaghetti Junction in our minds when we wake up and feeling that we have no time and we are spinning 100 plates.

If this is you and if you have downloaded and listened to my Progressive Muscle Relaxation, please see my tips here for quietening your mind and body. They will work and I recommend you take 5 mins every day, perhaps morning and afternoon, to practise these.

The main thing is to concentrate on your deep breathing by breathing in through your stomach, feeling your stomach expand and then breathing out and letting the breath go. Take 5 deep breaths and if you would like to, continue until you have had enough.

For just 5 mins. you will feel calm and relaxed and ready to move forward in your day.

I always teach this type of breathing to my Hypnotherapy clients and they get a lot out of the exercise.

Enjoy.

Are we all living our lives with our thoughts caught in a Spaghetti Junction and spinning 100 plates all at once.

✋ Is this you my friend? Oh come on, it's been me over the last few months so it must be happening to some of you lovely people.

👩‍⚕️I am a Hypnotherapist and Mindset Coach but I still get this sometimes as I am Human and not infallible. Things get me down and I jump up and down sometimes when things don't go right.

💆‍♀️So what do I do when this happens? Well, after I have jumped up and down and may be shouted at my teddy, I will lay on my bed and practise 5 mins of deep breathing from my diaphragm which calms me down and sets me up again for the rest of the day.

OK, this doesn't happen very often but when it does, I know how to sort myself out and get back to being me.

How do you get back to being you after getting in to your own Spaghetti Junction? Is it easy for you or difficult? Let me know. I have a really good "Progressive Muscle Relaxation" Audio on my website which is free to download if you would like some extra help.

You can find it here https://1l.ink/252L77M

Enjoy and don't let the S.J. grind you down again.

And yes, another year and another EUROVISION SONG CONTEST and I will be in Switzerland watching it on T.V.

Oh come on, no nasty comments as I know so many people hate it but I absolutely love it because:

🎤 It is so exciting.
🎶 The costumes are hilarious.
🎸 The stage sets are fantastic.
🥁 The voting is madness.
🎼 The presenters look great in their outfits.
📯 The diversity is consistent.
🎷 It brings countries together for music and fun.
🎻 And it gets crazier every year.

I have watched the Eurovision Song Contest every year since I was 13 years old and lived in Europe and I adore it and will be watching the first semi-final tonight and the second semi-final on Thursday.

Would love to be there but it's 154 miles from where I will be but will be watching the Swiss TV channel RTS for all the action.

Looking forward to our song - "What The Hell Just Happened" and hope that it does not get nul points.

Please tell me that some of you will be watching it or having a party.

I had Eurovision parties for about 5 years running but my friends only came to make fun of me and would talk through the songs which annoyed me so much 😁 but we all had a good time and a great laugh with lots of food and wine.

Enjoy the show and just forget about all the crap that's going on in the world. Let's be together in music.

Happy nearly mid May Monday people.

Have you got your Oxygen Mask on yet for the summer or are you preparing it for your up and coming holiday maybe?

When we go on holiday, we chill but for some of us, including me, it takes 2-3 days to start to chill with my Oxygen Mask well and truly in place.

What about you?

How many days does it take you to calm down and chill when you go on holiday?

✅ I chill straight away.
✅ It takes me 1 day and I have absolutely chilled.
✅ 2-3 days for me to chill unfortunately.

Do you also start to get tense a couple of days before you come home as you are wondering what emails you will find?

To be honest, I put my Oxygen Mask on daily when I take 30 mins each day to just be me, lie on my bed and listen to my meditations. I sometimes snooze and I sometimes just lay and relax.

Find the time to put your Oxygen Mask on as often as you can as going on holiday or away for a few days is great but we need our masks on daily to keep our mental health in check.

Do you agree? Would love to have your comments about how you chill and keep your mental health in check at any time of the year.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone that has taken a look at my 20 days of 1min. videos to understand exactly what I do with my work.

I am extremely grateful to you for your likes and comments and you know who you are my friends.

Is is so difficult to get yourself known on all social media platforms with millions of people posting at all times of the day from different parts of the world.

I always say that my work is my passion and that my clients are my passion and to see them change from being anxious, depressed, with low confidence or self-esteem, having been through very difficult situations in their lives, to clients with confidence, happiness and a willingness to make the changes that they need for their future lives is amazing to watch.

We are all there wanting to get ourselves known, not just for sales, but for connections, with stories and love, understanding and acceptance of each other.

Wishing you all the very best for this start of Spring and a wonderful summer ahead with all your plans in place for a positive and fruitful 2025.

Let’s talk about Weight Management – not Weight Loss

“Went to see Maria not thinking that I would get anything out of it, boy was I wrong. This woman is amazing and just after 1 session, I could feel the difference. If you have any issues in your life and need help, I highly recommend Maria, she has helped myself and my husband. Thank you”

I worked with this wonderful lady after her husband had worked with me and had great results.

This lady wanted to lose some weight and was already doing the Fast 800 diet but needed some more motivation. She was also exercising daily but felt that she needed a bit of help.

We talked about the reasoning for her weight loss, what was currently going on for her in her life and what she wanted her future to look like with being satisfied with her weight.

She wanted to get into a piece of clothing that she wanted to treat herself to. She was a very creative lady and produced some fabulous knitted garments which we often talked about in her sessions.

We had fun talking about clothes and she had seen an amazing red leather jacket that she liked so much and so we talked about how she would feel when she wore this jacket to her son’s wedding coming up in a couple of months.

She worked very hard and I helped her with motivation to do her Fast 800 diet which she started to really enjoy.

The technique I used with her was totally solution-focussed so that she could see where she would get to and how she would feel about herself then.

I loved working with this lady and she got to where she wanted to be with my help. I am still in touch with her and we are friends.

Let’s talk about feeling contented – A Testimonial

“I have just completed my series of sessions with Maria. She has unearthed a level of inner confidence and calmness during my working days that have significantly reduced my stress levels. This is the most content I have felt both in and out of work for many years. Thank you Maria"

I was working with a very kind man last year who had suffered with health problems when he was younger and these health problems had followed him a little bit up to his adulthood. They were linked to glandular fever when he was younger and then an episode of Vestibular Dizziness which caused him nausea and sickness.

He was OK now as these had passed but the episodes had left him with uncomfortable feelings of imposter syndrome and low self-confidence.

He had a great job that he enjoyed but was very nervous about attending the Teams meetings and to give his technical advise as he didn’t think that he was qualified enough. He certainly was and his colleagues looked up to him.

His stress levels were high on days when he had to attend these Team meetings which included members from overseas.

We worked together through these feelings and he came out the other side feeling much calmer in his work days and much more contended. He felt confident and able to advise and help when necessary.

I was so happy for him and we are still in touch.
This is what I love about my work. Seeing the changes happen in my clients through positive thought patterns, understanding their brain triggers and knowing that changes can be made.

Comments below please.

Let’s talk about anxiety affecting confidence – A Testimonial.

"Having made various calls to therapists, I knew from the first moment I spoke with Maria that she was the right therapist for me. Maria is committed, knowledgeable, supportive and very understanding and patient. Now some two months later, I feel mentally stronger, calmer and more self- confident than ever before. I am ready to get on with the rest of my life. Darkness to Light is an outstanding hypnotherapy service."

I worked with this client for about 6 sessions but had top-up session to follow. He had a very important and stressful job and had worked his way up to owning his own business.

He had a past history of perhaps making incorrect life decisions and wanted to make things better with his family and friends. This episode had brought him down to a bad level of anxiety and his confidence was waning which resulted in issues with his grown-up children and his partner.

We worked together on his confidence levels and his feelings of inadequacy due to his life decisions and we put his past in the past and I brought him forward to thinking about what he wanted for his future life, for his business and for his family.

He became mentally stronger at each session even though there was a blip at session 3 (but sometimes blips happen) and he was much calmer and able to deal with business pressures and lead his team more effectively. His confidence soared and he was ready to get on with the rest of his life.

I enjoyed working with this client and he loved my relaxation audios and even asked me to make him 3 more to help him in different areas of his life. These worked so well for him and I believe he still listens to the regularly.

My work is my passion and I love to see my clients change their thought patterns and move on with their lives.

What is Body Dysmorphic Disorder? – A testimonial.

“Maria is a great listener and doesn’t judge, takes in everything you say and shows you that not everything is bad, brings out the positive side of life and really made me see that I have a lot of great things going for me and that I am doing well as a young man. I would definitely recommend her”

This young man had Body Dysmorphic Disorder which meant that he did not like the way he looked and felt about himself and believed that his friends did not think well of him.

He had a job but wanted to get a better job but did not have the confidence to try for another.

He also wanted a girlfriend and wanted to feel that he was needed. He wanted to be able to make positive decisions for his life and his future but was constantly worried about the decisions he would make.

His feelings about how he looked initially brought on all these feelings and he had imposter syndrome and low self-confidence.

After 8 sessions with me, he had got himself a girlfriend, made a very important decision about his future and whether he wanted to carry on living with a relative or get a shared apartment. The best bit was that he got himself a new job which he really wanted. This was exciting for him,

This young man actually was a nice looking young man but he needed to know and accept this and that he had a great future in front of him.

My heart sang when I signed him off. This work is my passion.

Fun Facts on Friday - I am like a Traffic Light – Are You Ladies?

Today I have been out 3 times and each time I had 🚦traffic lights that were at red.

It took ages for them to change to amber and green and I felt a bit STUCK as I was in a rush as per usual.

Being a wife, grandmother, mother, daughter, daughter-in-law, I have lots of things to do and so I spinning loads of plates and not sure where I will be on a day when I am not working on my passion job.

So, this morning I had to go to the shops and the 🚦traffic lights were at red. I came back and the first traffic lights were at red again.
I finally got home a bit late and said to myself “OK, what’s next – I’ve got to go and see the estate agent about selling my mother’s apartment.” I drove down there and the 🚦traffic lights were red. Amber happened and there was a foreign lorry trying to back into a space which caused a delay.

I finally got back and felt very tired and a bit moody as we also had a leak in our kitchen sink and I had to get a plumber in to try and fix it. This meant going out again and the 🚦traffic lights were still mostly at red for me.

As a women who has lots of responsibilities, I would love my 🚦traffic lights to be on green so that I can do everything I need to do before I collapse on the floor.

Sometimes I say to myself – “I want my life back”
Does this happen to you sometimes ladies? If you do let’s chat.

Let me know in the comments below.

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.
