The power of your mind …. What you tell yourself will be

Happy New Year!

I've supported numerous clients in overcoming their fear of flying, along with various other fears and phobias. As we step into the new year, embrace the opportunity to conquer what holds you back!

Most stress comes from confusing control with responsibility.

Modern life trains people to manage everything.
Other people’s reactions.
Outcomes.
The future.

That fight is unwinnable.

Nature is clear.
You don’t control the world.
You regulate yourself within it.

What’s actually yours:
Your habits.
Your boundaries.
Your health.
Your nervous system.
How you treat people when things don’t go your way.

What isn’t:
Other people’s moods.
Their misunderstandings.
The past.
Being liked by everyone.

Peace isn’t passivity.
It’s precision.

Energy placed where it belongs creates strength.
Energy wasted on what isn’t yours creates anxiety.

This is not mindset work.
It’s alignment with reality.

A simple shift in attention can calm your anxious brain fast

Scientists studying anxiety made a surprising discovery. You do not always need to fight anxious thoughts to feel better. In fact, trying to stop them often makes them louder. Instead, gently shifting your attention to the present moment can quiet your nervous system and calm your mind more effectively than forcing positivity or pushing thoughts away.

Here is what researchers found. When people focus on one real sensation in front of them like the feeling of their feet touching the floor or the way their breath moves in and out the brain shifts out of fear mode. Stress signals drop. Heart rate slows. And the mind gets grounded in reality instead of spinning into what ifs.

This works because anxiety lives in the future. It feeds on imagined danger and endless worry loops. Your nervous system is built to protect you but sometimes it overreacts. Bringing your attention to something simple and real helps your brain realize you are safe in this moment.

You do not have to control every thought. You just need to guide your focus. Next time your mind races try this. Notice one physical sensation. Name one thing you can see. Take one slow breath. Small steps can create big peace.

Your mind is not your enemy. It just needs a gentle reset sometimes.

Every cell in your body listens to your thoughts.

When your mind is filled with worry, your body listens, releasing stress hormones that tighten muscles, quicken the heart, and cloud your clarity. Over time, this chemical storm wears down your immune system, drains your energy, and dims your ability to heal.

But when you find calm, something incredible happens. Your body shifts gears. The heartbeat slows. Breathing deepens. Cells begin to repair instead of defend. Hormones that cause anxiety are replaced by ones that restore balance. In that quiet, your body starts remembering what it was built to do, heal itself.

Science calls it the mind-body connection, but you already feel it every day. The rush of adrenaline before a challenge. The knot in your stomach when you’re afraid. The deep relief when you finally let go.

Your thoughts aren’t just fleeting ideas, they’re instructions. Each one sends signals that shape your physical reality.

So take a breath. Speak kindly to yourself. Cultivate calm. Because your mind isn’t just part of your health, it’s the strongest medicine you’ll ever have.

So when I tell you ~ whatever you tell yourself -it will be……

A groundbreaking study from Stanford has revealed something remarkable about the human mind: your brain is not just passively observing your life, it actively constructs it in real time. Every thought you think, every belief you hold, has the power to shape your body and your experiences. This means that what you focus on, consciously or unconsciously, can influence your physiology, behaviour, and even your long-term health.

Neuroscience now shows that the brain is incredibly plastic. Neural pathways are constantly forming and reorganizing based on our repeated thoughts and experiences. When you reinforce a belief, whether positive or negative, you strengthen the networks in your brain that support it. Over time, this process can change your emotional patterns, stress responses, and even your physical reactions. In essence, your mind can rewire your body simply through repeated beliefs and thoughts.

This doesn’t mean the mind alone solves every challenge, but it highlights the profound influence of perspective and mindset on our daily lives. Practices like mindfulness, positive affirmations, visualization, and cognitive reframing work because they actively harness this neuroplasticity. By consciously shaping the patterns of your thoughts, you can encourage healthier responses, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being.

Think of your brain as an architect. Every thought you entertain is like a blueprint, every repeated belief adds a brick. Over time, these bricks build the reality you experience. Recognising this gives you the power to consciously choose thoughts that support growth, resilience, and wellbeing.

Understanding that your mind and body are so deeply interconnected is a reminder that mental habits matter. What you focus on today can literally shape your life tomorrow.

An interesting article to read:

Recent scientific research has revealed that the human brain cannot always distinguish between imagination and reality. When we vividly imagine an event, our brain activates many of the same neural pathways that are involved when we actually experience that event. This means that imagining an experience can create similar emotional and physiological responses as living it in real life.

The implications of this discovery are profound. For example, mental rehearsal techniques used by athletes and performers take advantage of this brain mechanism. By visualising actions in detail, individuals can strengthen neural connections and improve actual performance, even without physical practice. Similarly, therapies that use guided imagery can help manage pain, reduce stress, and improve cognitive function.

This phenomenon also explains why memories can sometimes feel as real as current experiences, even when they are entirely imagined. The brain encodes imagination in ways that mimic perception, blurring the line between what is real and what is mentally constructed. Understanding this can shed light on the nature of memory, creativity, and learning, as well as conditions where perception and reality become distorted.

Moreover, this insight into the brain’s functioning underscores the power of the mind. It demonstrates that our thoughts and visualisations are not just abstract concepts but have tangible effects on our emotions, physiology, and behaviour. By harnessing imagination consciously, individuals can influence their mental and physical well-being in meaningful ways.

As neuroscience continues to explore these mechanisms, we gain a deeper appreciation for the flexibility and complexity of the human brain. Recognising that imagination and reality share neural foundations opens new possibilities in education, mental health, and personal development.
