I remember when I was inquiring about hypnotherapy and how afraid I was of hypnosis. I feared it as mind control. My teacher said to me "all hypnosis is self-hypnosis". When you think about your thoughts, think about that. If it's true, would you want those things to come true? Do you have a story you are attached to that you keep repeating? What if you let go of that old story, who are you really?

One of the areas I help my clients with is grief. I've worked with people who have lost a person or pet. I just finished a client session with someone who lost her beloved dog, one of the hardest things a person can go through. It was hard, but at the end of the session she felt lighter, a little relief. There are many forms of grief. It could be grieving the loss of a relationship, a lifestyle, a tragedy. I know it well after having lost both of my cats of 17 years. There is no right or wrong way to do this, honor your process.

Good article on codependency. This is an area I help my clients with having experience in these dynamics, I understand it very well. https://www.thesundaily.my/local/codependency-a-well-being-issue-PE11048887

We just have this one moment. The past is gone, the future isn't here. Just right now. Life is created by now moments. Be here now. The breath can help get you get centered. It feels so good to come back to center.

Before I studied hypnotherapy, I feared hypnosis as mind control. I talked to my teacher and she said "all hypnosis is self hypnosis". I knew how powerful the mind is, but yet I still thought negative things. I believe we are all in training learning how to use the power of our minds. But it's not just about the mind. It's about integrating the mind and heart. Energy follows thought, what you focus on expands. Sometimes my thinkin is a stinkin. I believe things to be true, but that doesn't mean they are. Let's call them limiting beliefs. It's a good practice to question your thoughts, your beliefs. Byron Katie has a great practice in helping to question our thoughts, The Work. When we change our perception everything changes. I've actually found hypnotherapy (counseling with hypnosis) to be very empowering and actually a way of helping me to get to my inner knowing.

I was listening to Tony Robbins the other day and this statement struck me. "You Get What You Tolerate In Yourself". I've been pondering on it. What am I tolerating in myself? If I want changes in my life, what am I tolerating in myself that is not moving me forward or toward my goals? Are my actions in alignment with my values? It's a good exercise to get really clear. And you? What are you tolerating in yourself? Ponder...

Relationships are like bank accounts, the more deposits you make the better your relationships. Make sure you have more deposits than withdrawals. Compliments vs. criticisms. Focus on what you appreciate and make sure to do this with yourself too.

Words matter. If you find yourself saying or thinking that you can't do something. Try switching it around. Every time you think you can't, say I choose not to. You just may start thinking different about things. I can't eat that, I choose not to eat that. "Choose" is empowering "can't" implies you have no choice.

Worked with a client today who reminded me we have been working together for twelve years, on and off. He first came to quit smoking and then on again off again to work through stuff. This past October he reached out to help him quit drinking since he had so much success in quitting smoking. I'm so grateful when I get the opportunity to help someone break through. He said how his life is so much better without alcohol. He is such a self aware person, I told him it was like his future self is sitting right in front of me, such an amazing transformation. He's truly remarkable!

Did you know that the subconscious mind lives in the NOW? That means that events that happened long ago are the programs running your life. Is it time to uninstall those limiting programs and install the new and improved empowering programs for 2022?

I've been pulling lots of bindw**d lately. I call it the 20 mile w**d, but it's probably more like the 100 mile w**d!

Several years ago I planted beautiful ice plant and it has filled in nicely, very tight, but somehow the bindw**d seems to make it's way through.

If I don't stay on top of pulling them, they start to take over.

This reminds me of our negative thoughts. You know, the kind of thoughts where you worry about everything that could go wrong, make up stories in your head about stuff, those anxiety producing thoughts.

No matter how positive you are, sometimes those anxiety producing thoughts pop into our heads, it's part of being human. I think we are all in training learning how to use the power of our minds.

When those negative thoughts start to take over, it can be very difficult to get out of the muck. It might feel like there's a dark cloud over our heads. Sometimes you need someone to pull those nasty w**ds.

I thought of a friend whose son is having a challenging time with alcohol. He spent time in the hospital, but that didn't deter him, he keeps drinking and has relapsed and gone back to the hospital.

I don't think he will be able to make the changes by himself. He needs someone at a different level to help him pull those w**ds of negative thinking, someone to address the root causes, help him see things in a different way.

Simply going back into the same environment and doing the same thing won't change things.

Einstein said, “No problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it.” Einstein means in whatever situation we are facing, we need to rise up to a new consciousness. A new way of thinking.

There are support groups, therapists, healers, coaches, all types of assistance. I think people in that environment need their stinking thinking to be challenged, new information, new perceptions.

I've had my own stinking thinking. That's why I created my program Tune-Up Your Mind, to help shift one's thinking at the subconscious level.

Here are some tips you can implement on your own to change your thoughts:

Don't suppress, acknowledge your feelings.
Question your thoughts, is it really true? Sometimes we make up stories that just aren't true.
Gratitude practice helps to focus your mind on everything you appreciate. Squeeze the w**ds of negative thinking.

If you feel like you could use a balance, your life is out of alignment, need a tune-up, have some limiting beliefs to work through, anxiety, sadness, melancholy, relationship issues, feel stuck, need some w**ds pulled, it would be my honor to facilitate your blossoming.

These lovely flowers were on my porch when I got home the other day. I brought them to my office and just remembered when I was at the Denver Botanical Gardens many moons ago and gazing at the beauty. I journaled about the flowers and how each one is unique and fulfilling it's expression. The Rose isn't thinking, gee I wish I were more like the Lily, I wish I were thinner, or I taller, or wider. Each one expressing its' own unique beauty and scent. I want to be more like the flowers. : ) Gee I wish they last longer.

Yesterday was my five year anniversary in my beautiful office space! A lot has changed since then, in many ways. It was such a fun night, full of excitement and the story of how I found this place is so special to me. It's one thing to start something new, and quite another to build one's practice. I know I can do better with my marketing and social media posts. I intend to do that. I don't always know what to say, but I intend to share more of what's happening. I'm offering a FREE 1/2 hour with your one hour purchased session. Mention this offer to me and it must be redeemed and used by June 30, 2022. Online or in person.
