Confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing to be wrong. ~Peter T. Mcintyre

Confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing to be wrong. 
 ~Peter T. Mcintyre

Fears can be a pretty big part of life.   Fears can stop you from taking action on every level and aspect of your life.  There are clinically diagnosed fears, situational fears and there are the everyday fears and anxieties.   Things like judgement of others and self.   Not meeting your own expectations or what you perceive as the expectations of others.   

This quote really speaks to a concept that can make a marked change in one's outlook on life.   What if it was OK to make a mistake, or not be the absolute best (that's a value judgement), or accepted yourself for who you are?   

Confidence is a wonderful thing.  It gives you the permission to take action and know that if even if things don't go exactly as you intended, you have the ability to take action again.....learning along the way that you can make a change, you can gain new knowledge and skills, and that you can accept yourself.     

If you are going to doubt something, doubt your limits. ~Don Ward

If you are going to doubt something, doubt your limits.  ~Don Ward

Maybe it's hard to believe that you have unlimited power in your life.  But you do…you have the ability to believe, image and create the life you desire.   I'm not saying this is magical..that creating an image in your mind will make it appear before you in real life… but your thoughts do have an overwhelming affect on your body and state of mind…. if you believe in the limits that someone else has placed on you or that you have placed on yourself, then those limits will control every decision, action and effort you make in your life.    Ask yourself…."what do they really know?  How can I be sure?"   Test these limits.  It will take effort, work and time..but you'll be surprised how far you will go. 

"Grains of sand" a roadblock in Life

It isn't the mountains ahead that wear you out, it's the grain of sand in your shoe.  ~Author Unknown

That grain of sand is not any different then the limiting beliefs you may consciously or subconsciously hold in your mind.  Recorded in your mind, whether you realize it or not, is everything that has ever been said, done or occurred to or around you.   Some of this may have been meant for you, some not.   Some may be real, some not.   In any case, these beliefs shape who you are....these beliefs create a framework for what you do....the problem is that these beliefs can be damaging, especially when they are based on childhood events....and you are still listening to and living your life through a child wisdom.   Clear the messages, through forgiveness and EFT.

....thinking makes it so

There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.  ~William Shakespeare, Hamlet, 1600


Everything you do, everyway you feel physically, emotionally and mentally, every action or inaction you take stems from your mindbody.   I'm not saying that everything that happens to us, or every illness that affects us is created in the mind body, but in every instance your way of thinking definitely controls your body on a cellular level and influences how you experience life.
Lets explore this concept together.
Over the next few weeks I'd like to discuss the book by Candace B. Pert, PhD,  Molecules of Emotion.

Let's turn that around......
Take a moment to think about the things you enjoy,  the things that make you laugh, the things that make you smile.... just smile.  Thank about any time, any where, from your past or what you plan for the future.  Say something about what you are thinking --out loud or to yourself.....

You have done more to improve your health then you realize, just by thinking in a positive way.   According to an article on the Mayo Clinic Website:  Through engaging in positive thinking and most importantly positive self talk you have:

• Increased life span

• Lower rates of depression

• Lower levels of distress

• Greater resistance to the common cold

• Better psychological and physical well-being

• Reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease

• Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress

Spend your time thinking about the positive,  believe it or not whatever your story, history or past, you have it better then someone else out there in this world.   Do yourself a favor:
Appreciate every day
Find one positive idea, thought or event to think about it every day
OH and smile more.

Making satisfying choices

Every day we make choices,  what to wear, or eat,  when to wake up, what to do for the day, who to speak to, where to go, which TV show, book, radio station, website, tweet to pay attention to, which call to make or take, which way to turn...the list is endless.  But what if I asked you to really think about what you want for yourself and your future... you know.. 10 years .. 20 years down the road ...  many of those day to day decisions may not have a direct affect on your future ...but I  can guarantee that the choices you make when it comes to the food you eat, what you drink and how active you are NOW will have far reaching affects on your quality of life for the future.    To think that everything you eat now can determine your health;  blood sugar levels, cognitive ability, mobility, mood, and energy..should make you think twice... I did.  Will you?  Eat the foods you enjoy, in smaller amounts,  notice and pay attention to what you are eating and stop eating when you are full.    Never eat anything that doesn't taste great to you... why waste the time and energy... and get moving in any way you can...  See you in the future.

What should I eat?

"To think too long about doing a thing often becomes its undoing".  ~Eva Young


Hypnosis is all about changing your mind to enable you to make better decisions AND TAKE ACTION....With that said when it comes to making good food choices.. we are consantly getting conflicting information about what is good for us to eat...I just read two articles from the same source and while one suggestion was to eat more of a particular food the other article suggested you stop eating that food altogether.


So now-you still don't know what is best to eat and you are THINKING MORE about FOOD.    No wonder being over-weight is a problem for so many.  Diets don't work in the long run, but you can change your habits. 

The worst club in my bag is my brain. ~Chris Perry

The worst club in my bag is my brain.  ~Chris Perry.....

....very telling statement.  If you play golf or for that matter any sport you understand what this means....those negative, recurring thoughts, put downs, replaying the last shot in your mind when you should be focused  on how well your next shot will be. The tenseness of your muscles as you relive that last move, the should'ves and could'ves that only make you feel the rush of anger and adrenaline.     So what do you do about it..........?  How can you train your brain to allow your body and mind to move on?   "Every shot (hit, play) is in the past...reliving it in your mind will only make your muscles freeze up or  repeat the motion(s) that you were not happy with to begin with.     Practice relaxation methods...Tapping...and mentally rehearse the movements before you play the game.   A mental rehearsal has the same affect on your muscles as the real thing.  Get in the zone!!
