This month I’m focusing on ways to create the habits you want to support you to live the life you want. Today, I’m focusing on the power of rewards to keep you on track.

When you first start to create a new habit, it’s new and it can feel easy to stay motivated. Over time as you repeatedly stick to the new habit, it can feel like a lot of effort to keep on going.

Creating positive emotions can help you to want to stick to your new habits. Feeling positive about the changes you are making is something you can use to stay on track when you start to feel your new habits are taking up more effort.

Did you know remembering positive emotions can help you to stay motivated to stick to new habits. Having happy memories of feeling good about your actions help reinforce your new habit.

Even small rewards will reinforce a new habit.

So when you perform your new habit, treat yourself to a small reward. Don’t forget a reward can even be the way you speak to yourself. Try and make sure your rewards reinforce your new habit, so for instance you could:
Reward going to the gym consistently with some new gym kit
Reward leaving work on time with half an hour reading a novel
Reward eating a healthy meal by treating yourself to your favourite fruit for dessert.
Reward yourself for any new habit by reminding yourself of all you’ve achieved so far.

This month I’m focusing on ways to create the habits you want to support you. Today’s post is on the power of support to do just this.

One thing that can really make it easier to put new habits into your life is to have a support system in place. Human beings generally thrive through connecting with others. Using new habits to develop new friends or cement existing relationships is a way to embed new behaviour.

The key to having healthy new habits is to be able to do them automatically. It can take time to put this in place in the beginning, but once it is, new habits become second nature.

Tying your new habits to meeting your friends can really help to set new habits.

You could try joining a social group or ask your friends or family to help you stick to your new habit. This helps you to be accountable and makes it more difficult to back out of your commitment. And, when the people you care about know you’re working toward a goal, they’ll be more likely to be encouraging and supportive.

This support helps to create a virtuous cycle where you’re more likely to keep up your new habit.

So, if you want to create healthy habits in your life, you could try asking a friend to join you to get fit or eat more healthily,. Or, try joining a sports or meditation group or simply sharing your goals with others.

Whatever you choose, having your friends beside you can make it easier for you to make the changes you want.

Hi, I’m Celia and I’m on a mission to help women to reclaim themselves in midlife and beyond.

Are you a woman in midlife feeling tired and depleted? Maybe you feel you don’t know who you are any more? Do you feel that you’re not as confident as you’d like to be?

It may be you’re one of the many women who’s spent a lot of time prioritising other people Maybe you automatically organise and do everything as you put others front and centre. Or it may be a constant pressure you be on the go.

You may notice it as feeling flat, drained and unfulfilled despite what it may look like on the outside. Or you may just be exhausted, burnt out and resentful of those you love.

So how do you change the patterns that leave you saying yes when you want to say no and feeling like you’ve lost sight of yourself?

Feeling you’re not alone and sharing your experience with others who also want to change can be your first step

Starting on Thursday, I’m supporting a small group of women in Tonbridge to .
release the pressure they put on themselves
stop feeling overwhelmed
calm anxiety
let go of guilt
and feel like themselves again

This is a group in real life, with all the support that comes with connecting with other people who have the same struggles as you. There’s no pressure to share, and no expectation to “fix” yourself.
This is for you if you want to feel what it’s like to have that sense of inner confidence that makes navigating life easier and freer.

Welcome to April and the lighter, brighter days - and the feeling of fresh possibilities and the potential for change and renewal is all around us.

This has got me thinking about the power of habits and how Spring can be a good time to change them.

Habits are things you do on repeat without much thought or effort. They’re often automatic behaviours you’ve learned over time by practising them regularly. Most daily activities are habits, whether it’s brushing your teeth, driving to work, choosing what to eat or how you relax after a stressful day.

So once a habit is established, we do it over and over without thinking about it. Think of brushing your teeth. Once that habit’s in place, not cleaning your teeth daily is unthinkable.

The same is true with constantly putting other’s needs front and centre and automatically organising and doing everything for everyone. This too is a habit. And it’s one that leaves you so that you feel exhausted and burnt out

So how do you create change the habits that leave you saying yes when you want to say no and feeling like you’ve lost sight of yourself? Feeling your not alone and sharing your experience with others who also want to change can be your first step

Starting Thursday 9th April, I’m supporting a small group of women in Tonbridge to .
• stop feeling overwhelmed
• calm anxiety
• let go of guilt
• and feel like yourself again

This is a group in real life, with all the support that comes with connecting with other people who have the same struggles as you. There’s no pressure to share, and no expectation to “fix” yourself.

Welcome to Wednesday Wellbeing and my focus for March on how you can harness hypnotherapy to help your wellbeing.

As a practising hypnotherapist one of the most common worries clients have before we work together is that they won’t be able to be hypnotised.

Many people think that they won’t be able to go into hypnosis. In fact, the opposite is true.

Almost everyone can be hypnotised, although some people find it easier.

All hypnosis is essentially self hypnosis - it’s something you do to yourself with the help of your hypnotherapist.

For you to be able to go into hypnotism all you need is your willingness to be hypnotised and your trust and confidence in your therapist. It doesn't matter how deeply you go into hypnosis as good results can be obtained at all levels of hypnosis.

Hypnotherapy works best if the time is right for you, you feel comfortable and at ease with your therapist and your goals are achievable.

This means your active participation in the process and your trust and confidence in your therapist are all important in helping you to achieve the results you want.

Thousands of research studies published over the years show that hypnotherapy is effective for tackling anxiety, pain, and weight issues, treating stress related illnesses like irritable bowel syndrome - and much more.

If you’d like to experience the gentle power of hypnosis for yourself, I offer a free hypnosis recording you can download and listen to at home.

Based in Tonbridge, Kent, Celia Griver is experienced and qualified in hypnotherapy, working with people to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns.

Welcome to Wednesday Wellbeing and my focus for March on how you can harness hypnotherapy to help your wellbeing.

Today I’m sharing with you the feedback I received from one of my clients.

Mary, a senior civil servant was struggling to manage anxiety and it was affecting all areas of her life. Here she shares her experience of hypnotherapy and how it has helped her to find more ease and reconnect with herself and the things she enjoys.

“I contacted Celia for help dealing with anxiety that had been increasingly impacting my life having appeared, seemingly out of the blue, a couple of years ago. I found Celia very supportive and empathetic and I felt immediately at ease with her.
While she created a tailored programme based on needs she helped me to pin down at the outset, Celia was also very flexible in responding and adapting to any issues that I came with to specific sessions. As well as helping me gain a better understanding of what was going on and why, through hypnotherapy sessions and a variety of helpful tools and resources I learned invaluable approaches to better manage both my thoughts and my physical responses.
The result has been a significant reduction in the frequency, intensity and impact of anxious feelings and greater confidence in my ability to handle them when they do arise. Having access to the resources Celia provided - including recordings of the hypnotherapy - has been hugely useful and I continue to benefit from them some months later. I am extremely grateful for all Celia’s support, insight and expertise and would highly recommend her.”

A quick Friday thought on how we judge women differently to men. I was inspired by a conversation today around how and why women feel responsible for doing the lion’s share of the domestic load.

Welcome to Wednesday Wellbeing and my focus for March on how you can harness hypnotherapy to help your wellbeing.

If you haven’t experienced hypnotherapy before, you may wonder what happens during a hypnotherapy session.

Your first appointment is a chance for us to get to know each other. I'll ask you questions to help me understand what is going on for you and what you'd like to achieve. You'll also be able to ask me about hypnotherapy, how I work, and what I offer. We’ll do some practical exercises to help you to understand hypnosis in practice.

I always allow one and a half hours for this first appointment. That allows us both the time we need to delve into everything we need to make your therapy successful.

We’ll start to unpick what’s causing your problems, think about setting goals and a realistic roadmap to help you achieve them.

I’ll then design a programme for you, based uniquely on you. We’re all different, so it’s really important your sessions are personal to you to make your transformation effective and permanent.

Your goals, hopes and challenges are unique to you and I do my best to help you to work towards realistic, meaningful and achievable goals, all backed up by an action plan. I offer the support you need between sessions so you can make changes and start living the life you want and deserve.

As everything revolves around you and what you want to achieve, I make sure we review how the work is going for you— what is helping, what feels less useful, and to unpick what’s helped you to make progress so you can do more of it.

I’m popping in with a quick Friday thought on what happens when we compare ourselves to others, how it affects confidence and how and why we always end up feeling worse. I’m also sharing the difference between what I call the inside self and the outside self and how it helps me not get caught up in comparison.

This was inspired by my conversation with Kirsty Bennett from this week. We talked about all things and

It was a fascinating chat and I loved hearing ’s insights.😊
