A large part of our happiness is based on choice! It’s based on what we can control! As psychologist William James says, “The greatest discovery of any generation is that a human can alter his life by altering his attitude.”

In order to boost your happiness set point and change your attitude, there are a few things you can choose to do.

Be Patient. Every moment is precious. Don’t waste your time being angry, upset or frustrated.

Praise Yourself. You deserve it! And besides, who else will praise you if you don’t bother to do it?

Tell 3 People You Love Them. A simple act that not only makes you happy, it makes at least 3 more people happy as well.

One Hour Each Day For You. There are 24 hours in each day. Surely you can find just one for you. Take the time to do whatever you want or even to do nothing at all.

Be Compassionate. Everyone is experiencing life. Sometimes the experiences are difficult, demanding and painful. Treat everyone you meet with the same understanding that you would want.

Forgive the Past. The mind replays what the heart can’t delete. Let your heart be free and your mind will follow.

Set Goals & Affirmations. When we envision the future and imagine our success, we experience the joy now. We become inspired and act on our desires.

Practice Gratitude. The simplest way to achieve a sense of peace and happiness is to focus on what you are grateful for in your life. It’s also the simplest way to insure that you will receive more of what you want.

If life is getting you down… choose a different attitude. Practice reminders of grace. You’ll be happy you took control and made the choice.

It’s okay.
It’s okay to let your mind wander.
To sit and stare at the world around you.
It’s okay to just be.

It’s alright if you want to stroll along the ocean’s edge
and feel the breeze against your skin.
It’s alright. You can take the time to do that.

It’s okay to pursue a childlike desire to play. To read a story or color.
It’s okay if you don’t want to work this morning.
Just this morning. This morning it’s okay to feed your soul.

Today…
It’s okay to find bliss.
It’s okay to enjoy life right now in this moment.
It’s okay. You can give yourself permission.

Do you wish you could look into a crystal ball and see what the future holds in store for you? How simple life would be if you knew what to expect! You don’t need a wizard or a crystal ball. You have something far more powerful. You have the amazing magic of your own inner knowing.

Are you aware of your superconscious mind? The superconscious is also known as the collective subconscious, or universal mind. It has no limitations and can access all information throughout time. Your superconscious mind knows everything. Your dreams, imagination and intuition come from the collective wisdom of your superconscious mind.

Hypnosis is known as a great tool for accessing the subconscious mind, but did you know that hypnosis also helps you tap into your superconscious mind?

Through simple breathing and relaxation techniques you can access your higher mind and intuition…your own crystal ball. Your conscious, subconscious and superconscious all work together to sort through your personal information and interpret possible scenarios based on that information.

When you bring your intuition to your conscious awareness, you gain insight into your own unique life path. You are able to make better choices based on that information. Since your life experience is based on your choices, it’s important to have good information to make wise choices.

Perhaps you’ve lost touch with your inner wizard. Maybe you don’t feel very powerful in your life. Or you feel like you don’t know what to do. I invite you to explore hypnosis to access the all-knowing part of you… your superconscious.

"Remember that your perception of the world is a reflection of your state of consciousness.
You are not separate from it, and there is no objective world out there.
Every moment, your consciousness creates the world that you inhabit."

~Eckhart Tolle

Anticipatory negative thoughts can create fear – False Evidence Appearing Real. When we anticipate, we imagine or pretend. We make up a story. We believe in that story, even though we made it up.

The problem is we are experiencing emotions in the present which are based on what we do not want to happen in the future. Our story makes us feel out of control.

It takes courage to take control and to take action. The action of courage does not mean that there is not fear. It means one has the power to get past the negative imaginings of the fear of what may happen in the future. Instead, courage is a belief which creates faith about what is possible.

Where do you find your power over fear? You find your power in your ability to control what you think.

I think everyone has a desire to feel "better", but "better" is relative.⁠
⁠
It may be health issues - a recent diagnosis, weight loss or eating disorders, a chronic condition, substance abuse.⁠
It may be performance issues - memory, focus, sports, acting or public speaking.⁠
It may be lack of confidence - a feeling of unworthiness, a limiting belief or self-sabotage.⁠
It may be about a relationship - creating one or the healing of one or the acceptance of loss.⁠
It may be embarking on a course of study and passing the test.⁠
It may be the desire for more material abundance or career growth or even learning how to step down and retire from a career,⁠
It may be grief, depression or suicidal thoughts.⁠
It may be fear or anxiety or trauma.⁠
⁠
A person may not know what they want or need...but they do know that they're not satisfied with where they and that they don't know how to get to where they want to go.⁠
⁠
As an outside observer, viewing others with unconditional positive regard, I help people to feel "better". And then anything is possible.⁠

You may be very busy and believe that you already have too much to do. But, sometimes, you need to take time to get quiet and explore your inner world. You need to think and listen to your thoughts. You gain much from meditation.

We need a sanctuary from the demands of others and the stress of everyday life. We need an escape.

And sometimes we need to enjoy a burrito.
