We can all experience situations at times when we’d like to feel a bit more confident or, maybe your confidence has taken a hit and lower than you’d like it to be. The good news is you can boost your confidence by following these suggestions, and even better they are easier than you’d think!
It’s all about doing something rather than nothing, and feeling in control again.
“If nothing changes………then nothing changes!”

• Tick Off A Task On Your “To Do” List.
  When you are successful at something, completing a task, however small you will feel more confident generally. The little job you’ve been putting off, just do it, get it done and see how much better you will feel for it,
• Do What You’re Good At.
  Roald Dahl says: “Everyone is born, but not everyone is born the same. Some will grow into butchers, bakers, or candlestick makers. Some will only be good at making jello salad”
  What are you good at? Even if making fantastic jello salad is your thing, do it as often as you can! You’ll feel happier and your confidence will increase.
• Don’t Let Others Put You Down!
  Share your goals with people who will SUPPORT and ENCOURAGE you, not those who will criticise or tell you that you’ll never do it. If you are struggling with confidence, it’s harder to see that their negative attitudes come from their own doubts, not yours. Their attitude might be enough to make you give up on the idea.
• Project & Think Confidence (even if you don’t really feel it yet.)
  How you think and feel affects your body language and how you are physically. Studies show a stooped posture encourages you to think negatively. Think about someone you know that always seems to be confident and notice their body language and movements. Start to change your movements and posture and see how much more confident you feel.
• Exercise regularly.
  Exercise boosts your endorphins, these are the feel good chemicals which allow you to feel good. It can improve willpower, stamina, self-belief and a reduction in anxiety. All of these changes will inevitably boost your confidence. As John Ratey quotes “If exercise came in pill form, it would be plastered across the front page, hailed as the blockbuster drug of the century.”
• List Your Positive Qualities.
  If you struggle with this (as many people do) ask your friends or family to list three things they like about you. It’s time to recognise your own positives, your skills, qualities, talents and abilities. Refer back to this when your confidence flags. Maybe put it up somewhere you can see it daily?
• List The Goals You Have Reached.
  Include anything and everything from passing exams, getting a job, to getting your driving licence etc. Compare this with the one above and see how your skills and qualities helped you achieve these goals, and how you can use them again to reach new goals.

None of us feel 100% confident all of the time.
It’s completely natural for confidence levels to vary from time to time, with our busy lives and life’s ups and downs and in different situations; however, YOU CAN improve things more easily than you think.

Confidence is the key to your success, its time to rediscover the confidence you thought you’d lost.

New Year ,New You

When 2020 arrived many of us decided what it was we really wanted to achieve. We always start with good intentions, after a short amount of time or possibly a few months maybe the novelty of the new year wears off and many of us revert back to those old habits.

If you want this year to be different, stick to your plans and achieve your goals and make those lifestyle changes you have always wanted then maybe its time to get a little extra help ! Anxiety and Stress is damaging to both our mental and physical health over time.  If you know you’re prone to stress, you may want to explore how hypnotherapy can help you.

Many people are choosing hypnotherapy to help them with all sorts of things.  Whether its losing weight, getting the real you back, overcoming fears /phobias or to stop smoking/vaping to name just a few, then hypnotherapy could help you.

Habits and behaviours can be very difficult to change, maybe they are ingrained from childhood, learnt behaviours which are  leading to some people turning to unhelpful behaviours that we end up repeating over and over again.

Hypnotherapy can give you that extra push to change your thought patterns and focus on your positives. I use various techniques to help alter thought patterns that can act as a reinforcement to your willpower and may prove to be the extra support you need to change the things you want to change.
Hypnotherapy is natural and safe, its relaxing, uplifting and you remain in control at all times. I offer a free initial consultation should you want to find out more, just give me a call to book on 07516 962361.

” Nothing changes, if nothing changes”

Hypnotherapy is a safe, powerful psychotherapeutic tool which can be used to break the negative cycle of depression and anxiety.

It can help with addictions, anger, blood pressure, weight control, lack of confidence, insomnia, IBS, relationship/marital difficulties, migraine, nail biting, nightmares, obsessions, panic attacks, fears, phobias, stress and many more.

Hypnotherapy uses the application of hypnotic techniques to bring about therapeutic change and is a very pleasant and relaxing experience.

Give up smoking for Xmas?

The time is now with this half price offer, just £75.

Nearly nine years ago The Which? Report concluded that of all the methods available for stopping smoking, Hypnotherapy was the most successful, and the only one with no cravings, no irritability, no bad temper and no weight gain.

You as a smoker will have years of information built up in your memory store, such as ‘I am a smoker’, ‘I can’t stop smoking’, ‘I have to smoke to alleviate stress’, ‘It gives me confidence’. These are subconscious responses and we know the subconscious has been incorrectly programmed.
You know that smoking is a major cause of mental and physical stress.

We know that we have much more control than we believe we have. Most of us give up when we go to bed, have an operation, etc, etc. With the help of hypnosis the subconscious mind can be reprogrammed, thereby enabling us to do whatever we consciously want to do.
Almost every smoker gives up during their lifetime. Because of the massive increase in pollution generally, smoking is now considered much more dangerous than it has been in the past. 80% of all cancers are now caused by smoking.
Stop smoking the easy way, give me a call and book in for your 2 hour session to help you stop smoking, 07516 962361
