I don’t want to be better than anyone else. I just want to be better than I was yesterday.

Feel the power.
People do not decide their futures, they decide their habits.
And their habits decide their future!
Hypnotherapy helps you harness your power, to change your habits, and thereby to change your future.

Be kind.

This life you have, is not a trial run.
Make the most of it.

A hypnotist helps guide people into their own state of self-hypnosis. This means, you cannot usually be hypnotised against your will!

Leaving your homeland is never easy. Don't be shy to reach out and ask for help. Hypnotherapy can help you deal with those mixed feelings, boost your confidence and lighten your mood.

On that beautiful afternoon in autumn, we walked on the beach,
with our hearts beating to the rhythm of an African drum.
The chilly wind breeze, made us huddle close to each other,
Enjoying the waves of surf, below the beauty of a seamless blue sky.
The pebbles we gathered, would become relics of a distant, happy echo.
We thought we would never part from the beach, but the fading red glow of setting sun,
reminded us that in life and nature, all of us do part from things we love and cherish.
Catherine Gunther

Wise words from Ben Fogle. ❤️

I failed my exams but exams also failed me. I find it astonishing that in 2023 we are still fixating on exams as the medium of defining peoples intellectual potential and capabilities. As a philosopher once said, ‘everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree it will live it’s entire life believing that it is stupid’
Like a fish. Some people are better at swimming than climbing. Some people have exceptional ability to retain information and regurgitate it under exam conditions. Others fall apart under pressure.
Exams are heavily weighted to perpetuate the continued opportunity of the few not the many.
I have spent a lifetime healing the wounds of my early childhood failings.
Fail enough and eventually you’ll concede to those failings and once you capitulate, they became inevitable.
From there, it’s a slippery slope to self loathing that strips you of your confidence and self esteem.
The wilderness has been my rehabilitation. There is no failure in the wild.
Just life and death.
It is black and white.
The wilderness does not care about race, colour, religion or politics. It is uncomplicated and unforgiving.
This is what makes it so therapeutic. Without the complicated nuances of society, we are empowered to make decisions based on immediate circumstances rather than perception or reputation. Rather than viewing the landscape and those within it as competitors, we see them as collaborators. It seems strange to me that the single hour of pressurised decision making during my A-levels aged 18 affected me more than the split second decision at 8500m on Mount Everest when my oxygen bottle failed aged 46. One was an artificial indicator of supposed ability. The other a split second life or death decision. I only passed one of them…..
……and lived to tell the tale

Imagine being 75 and you’re sat thinking about your life and how you never went swimming in the sea on a warm night because your thighs jiggled. Imagine realizing you never laughed until you couldn’t breathe because your teeth weren’t straight or white enough. You never embraced the sun on the beach because of the stretch marks on your stomach and your hips. You never allowed yourself to let go and have fun because the pressure to look perfect consumed you.
Imagine being 75 and realizing you’ve hidden yourself away for the fear of being real. Imagine realizing all the years you wasted hating yourself, but now it’s too late to go swim in the sea late at night. Now it hurts to laugh for more than a few seconds and you’re too weak to travel to the beach. Imagine realizing all this time you were perfect the way you were, but now it’s too late to do anything about it.

Don’t let that happen. Live now, as you are. You deserve to realize you’re enough and always have been, before you’re 75.

There once was a young boy with a very bad temper. The boy’s father wanted to teach him a lesson, so he gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper he must hammer a nail into their wooden fence.

On the first day of this lesson, the little boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. He was really mad!

Over the course of the next few weeks, the little boy began to control his temper, so the number of nails that were hammered into the fence dramatically decreased.

It wasn’t long before the little boy discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Then, the day finally came when the little boy didn’t lose his temper even once, and he became so proud of himself, he couldn’t wait to tell his father.

Pleased, his father suggested that he now pull out one nail for each day that he could hold his temper.

Several weeks went by and the day finally came when the young boy was able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

Very gently, the father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence.

“You have done very well, my son,” he smiled, “but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same.”

The little boy listened carefully as his father continued to speak.
“When you say things in anger, they leave permanent scars just like these. And no matter how many times you say you’re sorry, the wounds will still be there”.

Question: Are you happy? Really happy to the depths of your soul?
💥So, I CHALLENGE you💥
Please don’t skip this, and please share this, to challenge others.
Let’s first talk about kindness.
Imagine if we all made it our own personal aim, to do at least one deliberate act of kindness every day.
Just pledge to yourself to do one.
It can be anything from helping someone carry their shopping to their car, sitting on the playground with someone on their own and saying something nice or putting a water bowl outside on a hot day for dogs being walked.
Don’t expect anything in return and don’t count the kind acts that just come naturally to you. It must be a conscious act. Just make someone’s day.
Imagine if we all did that?
So I challenge you today. Not to pouring ice water on yourself or some other odd thing, just a challenge to do at least one conscious act of kindness for someone else every day for a week.
Then, and this is harder; Every evening write down 3 things that made you happy or smile that day. It could be a great meal, someone’s kindness, a beautiful sunset. Anything.
It’s harder to do than it sounds, so it takes perseverance.
By looking for the positive things in your day and knowing you have to write them down at night, you are training, or re-wiring your brain to seek beauty and happiness. This, in turn makes you a happier person. Your brain eventually unconsciously seeks out things that you find pleasant, things that make you happy.
We are ultimately all responsible for our own well-being and happiness, but we can contribute towards other peoples happiness.
Be that person that brings a smile to someone else’s day.
