Back in January I had a conversation with my own hypnotherapist about something simple on the surface….
Joining a gym.
The one I thought I wanted to go to wasn’t actually practical from where I live. Getting there was a bit of a mission.
So we went deeper into it.
Why that gym?
When I really thought about it, it wasn’t the gym itself.
It was the feeling.
When I lived closer to it, and used to go regularly a few years ago, it actually felt like more than a place to just work out. It felt like an experience. I’d built friendships there. There was a sense of connection. But most importantly, it was how I felt when I was there.
That conversation made me realise something about myself.
Connection matters to me. A lot.
Connection to people.
Connection to myself.
Connection to being present.
So instead of forcing the logistics of that gym, I went and found that feeling again.
This time in reformer pilates.
Now it’s even better, because it’s so close and perfect that I can literally walk to the studio if I want to.
What started as “joining a gym” has ended up giving me so much more:
Self-reliance
Presence
Self-trust
Connection
Self-love
Self-respect
Community
A calmer nervous system
Confidence
Self-belief
It’s funny how often the thing we think we want, isn’t actually the thing.
It’s the feeling behind it.
Once you understand that about yourself, your decisions start to align with what you really need.
If you feel like you’re constantly overthinking your decisions or unsure what you really want, sometimes you just need the space to explore it properly.
That’s exactly what I help people do through solution focused hypnotherapy in my 8 week program The Calm Code.
If you’re curious about working together, I have one space left to start right now. DM me “CALL” and let’s arrange a free consultation.
