Thoughts from the hypnosis office: How creating a vision/dream board can help you focus on and achieve your goals

In this week’s video, I’ll share thoughts on when and how to create a vision board and how the process can help you clarify what is important to you as you work toward your goals.

I’ll also discuss a very important side topic- how to manage when you don’t have control over the goal or outcome (ie navigating life changing medical situations).

Vision boards are a creative way to show your subconscious mind what you really want when you get to the other side of a project, period of time, or problem.

Thoughts from the hypnosis office: Creating the freedom and space for the unexpected

It’s a new year filled plenty of possibilities! Sometimes the unexpected can be something that comes along that is exciting and we are happy to embrace it. Sometimes the unexpected isn’t quite as enjoyable or well received. Either way, we can’t truly be prepared for everything and anything, so it’s important to create the space in our lives to have resilience to pivot when the unexpected happens.

In this video I’ll share a new way to think about the unexpected and the resilience necessary to accept it.

Thoughts from the hypnosis office: Happy World Hypnotism Day

The hypnosis field celebrates January 4 as “World Hypnotism Day,” a day to promote awareness and dispel myths or misunderstandings about hypnosis. I thought this would be a great opportunity to talk about various reasons why someone might want to see a hypnotist.

If feel like you need help to start the new year, I hope you’ll consider looking into seeing a professional hypnotist to help you overcome challenges and achieve your goals!

Thoughts from the hypnosis office: Your personal year in review

You’ve probably seen plenty of year in review articles and shows, but I want to encourage you to do your own personal year in review. This is a great way to acknowledge your accomplishments and begin to set intentions (rather than resolutions) for the new year.

In the video I mention a resource that I have found to be helpful to guide me through this process. Here is the link for the “year compass.”
https://yearcompass.com/

While this video is originally airing in December, I hope you’ll find these tips helpful year round! You can also use the year compass at other times of the year to acknowledge a new year, like your birthday, the school year, your business year, or even lunar new year.

Thoughts from the hypnosis office: The gift of being more present

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift, which is why they call it the present.

People often contact me for sessions because they realize that their thoughts and feelings about the past (or their worries and fears about the future) are getting in the way of them truly enjoying their lives in the present. By the end of their hypnosis process with me, they often realize that they ultimately get to give themselves and their loved ones a precious gift- their presence!

Thoughts from the hypnosis office: Gratitude and the silver lining of challenges.

Happy Thanksgiving week!
I’ve spent time in the hypnosis office helping people prepare for their Thanksgiving holiday, which leads quickly into an entire month of holiday celebrations. Whether it’s managing the to do list to make sure everything goes smoothly, being more present and calm with family and friends at holiday gatherings, maintaining healthy eating and drinking habits throughout the holiday season, or dealing with the sadness of those who are no longer with us, we all come to this time of year with varying goals.

Unfortunately sometimes this season can add a lot of stress, so it’s important to start the season with good practices to stay positive and manage the stress in a healthy way. In this video I’ll share how gratitude, optimism and positive thinking can help improve your overall brain chemistry!

Thoughts from the hypnosis office: The Wisdom of Trees in Fall:

Nature gives us great pieces of wisdom, and this week we are focusing on the wisdom of trees. During the fall and winter, the trees get less energy from the sun. This is the time that they need to pull their energy inward in order to have enough energy to make it through the winter. We can learn from the trees by pulling our energy back inward and letting go of the things that no longer serve us. Sometimes this is a temporary letting go for a season, and sometimes we realize this is an opportunity to create space for something new.
