“Everything we do, every thought we’ve ever had, is produced by the human brain. But exactly how it operates remains one of the biggest unsolved mysteries, and it seems the more we probe its secrets, the more surprises we find.”

Social media - not all bad? What do you think?🤔

It's the last day of April today. For many of us it's been a busy month.

Let's check in with ourselves to see what might be causing our stress-relief to be blocked. Ask yourself, "How do I feel today, physically and mentally?" and focusing on questions like;

- Am I drinking enough water?
- Am I eating a healthy and balanced diet?
- How did I sleep last night, and did I feel rested when I woke up?
- What things are on my mind? Are the thoughts helpful?
- Am I doing activities which will lower the levels of stress?
- How full is my container right now?

Asking yourself these questions will help to check to see if the tap is blocked and if you need to make some small changes to let the stress flow away again.

Dementia, something many of us are familiar with.

Loved ones directly connected to you or friends who are coping with the changes in life dementia can bring. And we regularly see articles in the media about it.

While the number of people with dementia may be rising in line with our ageing population, it’s encouraging to know that the individual risk is gradually lowering. We can help lower it further. The changes don’t need to be overwhelming. Small daily decisions, such as going for a walk, preparing a healthy meal or prioritising rest, can build towards long-term brain health.

For those concerned about stress, sleep or feeling mentally stuck, solution-focused hypnotherapy may be a gentle and supportive way to improve overall wellbeing. It can help you stay more present, resilient and connected.

If you want to find out how you can reduce your own risk of dementia have a read of my blog post: https://www.janefoxhypnotherapy.com/reduce-the-risk-of-dementia

A client shared this with me…

“I feel like a completely different person.

I can’t recommend Jane highly enough.

Before starting sessions, anxiety was affecting so many areas of my life. It wasn’t just one thing I could pinpoint. It showed up in different ways and stopped me from enjoying life fully.

I was functioning, but not really living.

Social situations felt difficult. My mind would jump to every possible “what if” and hold me back from doing things I wanted to do.

I knew I needed support and some practical ways to manage it… but if I’m honest, I wasn’t convinced it would work.

Now, 8 weeks on, things feel very different.

I’ve planned and managed events that I wouldn’t even have considered before. I’ve been tested recently too and found myself coping in ways I never could have imagined.

I’ve even caught myself laughing at how much more confident I feel.

Jane’s sessions were always calm and supportive. I left each one feeling more positive, with simple actions to take into the week.

If you’re thinking about Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, I would absolutely recommend it."

Continuing this week's theme on stress, today I want to talk to you about cortisol.

Cortisol is a hormone released by the adrenal glands in response to stress. It plays a key role in our fight-or-flight response, an essential survival mechanism. But when stress becomes chronic, cortisol can go from helpful to harmful.

It can be the reason why we seem some of the typical stress symptoms. The good news is there are lots of things we can do to regulate cortisol:

Emotions matter. Laughter, crying, connection, and joy all play a part in regulating cortisol. When we suppress emotion, we hold stress in the body. Giving yourself space to feel and express can be incredibly healing.

Breathe deeply. When we control our breathing, especially through slow and deep breaths, we send a signal to the brain that we’re safe. This helps the body dial down the stress response.

Prioritise Rest and Relaxation. Whether it’s through meditation, yoga, a hobby, or simply taking 10 minutes for yourself anything that helps calm your mind will support your nervous system and reduce cortisol production.

The short answer to this question is no. But read on

Stress is a message that something is not right; that something we care about is at risk. Stress focuses our attention on the problem and motivates us to take action. Which means stress is actually a good thing for survival.

The difference lies in how we respond, if we have the solutions, techniques and learned responses to manage the situation.

Whilst we can't avoid stress we can build a resilience to stress. I wrote an article that you might find helpful to read, all about this: https://www.janefoxhypnotherapy.com/building-resilience-to-stress/
