Choosing to LIVE LIFE without FEAR

 Hi Everyone, 

It's been over 6 months since my last blog post,,,wow it seems a very very long time ago doesn't it? Firstly to say I do hope that this finds you healthy in both mind and body. 

The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but, it is fear.” — Mahatma Gandhi 

The world has really changed a lot in the last 6 months. Personally I have never witnessed the amount of extreme FEAR in society on my time on this planet. I am not going to mention the dreaded 'C' word, because I don't know about you but I think we have had enough of that word morning, noon and night since last March. So I am not going to add to that. Just to say that it seems right now that most people have become so 'FEARful' of dying that they have forgot to 'LIVE' life to it fullest. Instead I would like to take this opportunity to talk about a subject that I happen to know a lot about and that is FEAR, what it can do to your health and well being and how you can make some simple changes that will bring more happiness to your world during this time. 

 

Over the last 10 years in my Hypnosis practice, many people have come to see me to eliminate a fear whether it be a fear of flying,a fear of dogs, a fear of spiders, etc., the list goes on. These fears can cause a lot of anxiety, stress, worry, depression and even make people sick. One of the most vital requirements for us to be healthy is a strong immune system and 'fear' is one of the main ways to compromise this vital element to true health. Fear is a human emotion that is triggered by a perceived threat. It is a primitive survival mechanism that signals our bodies to respond to danger with a 'fight or flight response'. As such, it is a part of keeping us safe. However, when people live in constant fear it can lead to cardiovascular damage, ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, accelerated ageing and even premature death.

Fear can also impair the formation of long-term memories and cause damage to certain parts of the brain, such as the hippocampus. This can make it even more difficult to regulate fear and can leave a person anxious most of the time. To someone in chronic fear, the world looks scary and their memories confirm that. Fear can also interrupt processes in our brains that allow us to regulate emotions, read non-verbal cues and other information presented to us, reflect before acting, and act ethically. This impacts our thinking and decision-making in negative ways, leaving us susceptible to intense emotions and impulsive reactions. All of these effects can leave us unable to act in a productive way and make bad life choices. It makes us want to hide away from the world and not leave the house. 


So how to overcome FEAR? Well first of all remember that live exists only in the 'moment'. As the old saying goes, 'yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery', all we have is the now,,this moment right NOW. Life is precious and the key is living every moment to it's fullest without fear. Fear only comes into it when we are either worried about something that has happened in the past or something that may or may not happen in the future. Be mindful that all we have really is the current moment and we have the power to choose the directions of our thoughts, emotions and live without fear. Yes, it is true, life will never be risk free. Would we really want it to be though? ,, it would all be a bit predictable and boring wouldn't it? If you decide to cling to safety, that makes you a prisoner of your fear. You’re just limiting your own potential to live a full life.  

 


Use the power of your mind and direct your thoughts to relieve your fear. Our thoughts to a great extent, create our reality. And positive 'action' will really help, even if small....like something as simple as changing your breathing can help you calm down. Taking a walk in nature, turning off the TV (this one is a must), listening to music, standing out in a shower or rain, growing your own food, talking to a friend on the same wavelength as you,,, these are all great ways to feeling alive. Start to put your focus on what could go 'right, rather than what could go 'wrong'.  So drop the Fear and start living fully today, your future self will thank you for it! Choose life! I hope you have enjoyed this blog post...until next time ..stay sane :)

In any given moment, we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety.”
                  — Abraham Maslow

Communicate for HAPPINESS and JOY

Hi Everyone, Firstly I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year and all the very best for 2020.....for my first blog post of the new year I would like to talk about .... 'communication' ...and I will be giving some tips on how you can improve your communication skills and approaches, to make it a happier and joyful 2020 for both you and those around you! 

So....Communication... verbal communication.....non verbal communication.....personal communication...power communication...it all boils down to the same thing....if we want our lives to be happier in our personal relationships, it helps to be good at it!

'No man is an island', because the truth is we can all be dependent on each other. Even those we disagree with. All our lives are based on relationships no matter what we do. Communication is an exchange of opinions, thoughts and ideas, via speaking, writing or demonstrating. We must communicate with our family, friends, employer, employees, clients or customers every day of our lives. It is important to understand that communication is a two way flow, an exchange; and that every action has a reaction. Communication is not one way. We need feedback from the person on the receiving end of our communication effort.  It is also a good idea to keep in mind the concept that everything is energy and what we put out we get back, I feel there is a great deal of truth to this. But that is for another blog. So lets get deeper into 'communication'.....

Non verbal communication (or 'body language') is closely akin to our 'self communication', since it is often the outermost sign of our innermost feelings, both conscious and subconscious. So it is important to understand the meaning of our gestures and those of others and be consciously aware of how we feel within ourselves, because our internal reality tends to reflect our external reality. We can then use this wisdom to build communication bridges in our communications with others. 

The modern world has made communication more difficult, as with the advent of mobile phones and the internet, these days it is all too common, that instead of meeting a person face to face or even calling them on the phone, we send phone texts or social media messages, usually without really thinking. It is quite commonly accepted that 55% of communication is body language, 38% is the tone of voice, and only 7% is the actual words spoken. Therefore when you send someone a message via text or Facebook, it is the poorest form of communication and is very open to crossed wires, misunderstandings and conflict. It might be easier in the short term (and at times more convenient) not to face someone by sending them a quick text (which has it's place of course) but there is nothing like looking into someones eyes or hearing their tone of voice. You can use the exact same words in the same order, but change the 'tone of voice' and the meaning changes. Also, keep in mind your state or mind and mood while corresponding with people on social media and/or the phone. Your response/reaction to a message and what meaning you take from it, can be very much dependent on whether you are feeling happy or sad, cheerful or gloomy.

So this is my first tip. Instead of sending someone a message on Facebook, perhaps make that extra time and effort to phone them or even better meet them for a coffee. I know from personal experience that a conflict that might arise easy on social media and unnecessarily escalate to unsolvable proportions, can be resolved very quickly with a face to face meet up. In fact before the age of phone/social media this is how long term friendships thrived. More over I have personally found that, in general, the less time spent on social media/phone they happier I am. It's not only the communication part of it, but it is addictive and you would be surprised how much time is wasted and consumed because if it. My experience of course...

My second tip is this....How many times do you find yourself with crossed arms, feet firmly planted apart, and back as straight as an arrow while someone is trying to tell you something? This body language says "I'm shutting you off"; "Prove it"; "I'm close minded to what you are saying". This is one sure fire way of alienating someone. Instead, I suggest keep an open mind. There is an old saying "We are born with two ears and one one mouth, use them in proportion" and I feel this is very true.  Agree before you disagree, and try to agree more than you disagree. Ask people for their opinions. Be genuinely interested in their point of view. Build the person up by respecting his or her opinion or knowledge. You will get it back tenfold, and dialogue will be a lot more productive. Also remember peoples first names, they are important to people. We are often to quick to judge and we 'hear' people but don't 'listen'; to often just waiting for them to finish speaking to get our point of view across. We live in an age of 'opinions', yes everyone has one, but it's a good philosophy to have, to understand that none of us have all the answers and we could be wrong about different things. So it's really best to keep that 'belief system' (and opinions within it) fluid and open to change. Of course respectfully agreeing to differ' (which seems to becoming less and less the dynamic of the world we live in.....social media for example Facebook seems to be full of judgemental 'know it alls' quite happy to tell you how to live your life) is also a great thing! As the great man himself Dr. Wayne Dyer once said: If you have the choice between being right and being kind, choose being kind”.

Last but not least, learn to laugh about life...laugh with others.... and don't take yourself too seriously...look at negative situations and conflict as challenges and opportunities to grow (stronger). Always look for solutions not for problems. Develop a warm feeling for people and let this come through physically with smiling eyes and mouth! Sincerely, life is too short to be anything other that happy. Every day is an new opportunity to live life and make a difference, both to yourself and others around you. By improving your communication skills by taking on these tips, you may find your internal happiness and joy for life will increase. :) 

I hope you have enjoyed this blog. Check out my new website that is now live at: waterford-hypnosis.com . I have been meaning to do it for a long time and like the old saying goes if you want something done, do it yourself and after a lot of time and effort I did that! I am very pleased with the results, so enjoy!

The key to permanent Weight Loss

Did you know that 95% of all diets fail in a year?  What about 2 years?  3 years? 5 years? or more?  Studies show that 96% of people will gain back all the weight they lose within 5 years. When it comes to fast weight loss, there is a ton of hype and empty promises. Pills, potions, and pre-packaged meals are nothing but props we use to distract ourselves. The bottom line is ‘diets’ don’t work. And nobody is talking about what really matters – permanent and lasting weight loss.

So what really works?

An effective weight loss program is easy, enjoyable, and fun. It makes taking action feel good and it consistently produces results. An effective weight loss program should be easy to live with long term. It involves you making choices that are integrated into your life an not a chore. In fact, the new ‘way of living’ should be more enjoyable than the old way of living – so it becomes automatic.That’s what it takes to make a truly effective weight loss program!

TRUTH: Eating and Activity are a HEALING RITUAL and not a chore.

To lose weight, you shouldn’t have to drastically change your diet, or 'give up' the foods you love, or torture yourself with exercise. Extreme Measures DON’T WORK because they are not sustainable. Any change that you can’t live with long term won’t work. Other weight loss programs may tell you what to do, but you already know that. However once you truly understand and accept the truth that eating is a natural and enjoyable human activity and hunger is the bodies request for nourishment then you won't want to eat junk type or unhealthy foods, but only real healthy foods high in nutritional value.

We can all list at least 3 things we could start or stop doing that would dramatically change our weight or improve our health. Getting yourself to do it is the hard part. Especially getting yourself to keep doing it long term and making it a permanent part of your life.

The Problem with Motivation and Willpower…

The best other weight loss programs can offer, besides gimmicky shakes, pre-packaged meals, pills, and restricted eating plans, is motivation & encouragement. This may of course temporarily increase a feeling of motivation or willpower. But problem is that motivation and willpower only work SHORT TERM. They are like holding your breath under water. If you’re really good at it – you may be able to keep it up for a few minutes…but it won’t last.

Reaching and Maintaining your ideal weight is a NEVER-ENDING goal. So if all you have is motivation and encouragement you’ll likely fail. In my Weight Loss Program I will help you to make ONLY changes you can live with long term. The goal is that, by the end of your program, your NEW way of living feels better, is easier, and more enjoyable than your old way of living. Those feelings of pride, success and accomplishment you will feel by making the right food choices will feel so good that they are worth making again and again. Once start making consistently good food choices, more energy and vitality will result, which means that you will be more active as you exercise your right to your ideal weight.

3 Critical Keys To Lasting Weight Loss

A truly effective weight loss program involves making small changes that you can comfortably and enjoyably live with for the rest of your life. By building these small comfortable changes upon one another, they work like a set of steps that will easily take you from overweight to fit and in shape – much quicker than you might have imagined. Small changes add up quick when they are consistent.

1. You need the right PLAN. That’s where my program begins. Knowing what to do first, and how to do it, so you can start smart, continue, and finish a complete weight loss program where you actually reach and maintain your goal weight. Most people know what needs to change, but aren’t sure how to go about it step by step. The right plan is like a nice set of stairs. It should take you from where you are now to where you want to be as quickly, easily, efficiently, and effectively as possible.

2. You will LEARN the most powerful techniques & tools available to help you program your mind to attach enjoyment and pleasure with ‘eating a little less and moving a little more’. My Weight Loss Program is designed to focus on the most important, impactful, and likely to succeed areas first, using Hypnosis in the most powerful fashion, to fit your personality and the way you think, to re-program your mind- so you actually prefer to eat a little less and move a little more. Hypnosis will also help you do deal with any potential moments of vulnerability, as well as allowing you to get back on track again quicker if you make a mistake. It's not about perfection but about consistency over a long period. That's what counts!

3. You must be focused on GETTING RESULTS. Everything about my Weight Loss Program is designed to produce lasting results and a higher quality of living than you were used to in the past. The program is designed to give you as much care as you personally need to achieve your weight loss goal.


In fact, that’s why I now offer a the FREE Hypnosis Consultation before you even begin – so I can properly assess your needs and tailor a program specifically for you to help you reach your ideal weight, shape and size, while at the same time allowing you to meet me and experience the professional and relaxing environment that is my office.

What’s the cost of NOT losing weight?


Did you know the average person spends 1000 euros a year just on fast food? According to Accounting Principals’ latest surveys show the average person is spending 1092 euros each year just on lattes and coffee. Other statistics estimate we spend at least 1% of our income on alcohol. And what about the health related costs? Based on data released by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the U.S. led the developed world in 2012, spending $8,745 per capita on health care. You do the math and start to ask yourself – what are my bad habits really costing me? My Weight Loss Program is reasonably priced at 220 euros and designed to save you big bucks long term. Can you put a price on your health? Look at it as an investment. You are so worth it!

Stop the Worry Habit and Start Living Today!

Image result for you have the answers within you wise mind quote memes
"Most people live - whether physically, intellectually or morally - in a very restricted circle of their potential being. We all have reservoirs of life to draw upon which we do not dream" 
~ William James


One of the main objectives for myself as a hypnotherapist is to invite people into a healing environment where they can recharge, reset, reinvigorate and replenish mind, body and spirit. I create a platform for them to get in touch with their own inner resources for healing and that means letting worries go. I then instruct them to 'dream a healing dream', in other words I help guide them into that magical state otherwise known as 'hypnosis'. In this peaceful environment and relaxed state, people can find the answers in the deep resources of their inner minds. We have all the answer we need deep down within us, in the wealth of information and inner 'knowing' that lies in our subconscious minds. In this sense everyone is his or her own healer. What I do is simply facilitate the process that allow my clients to engage in that process and thus make very profound changes within themselves. The possibilities are then limitless. 

One of the most amazing things that hypnosis can help people do is to change habits and behaviors. One of these is 'worry'. But what is worry and how does it start? The average person runs about sixty thousand thoughts through his/her mind per day. 95% of those thoughts are the same as the ones thought the day before. Those people who think the same thoughts every day, most of them negative, fall into bad mental habits. Rather than focusing on all of the good in their lives and thinking about ways to make things better, they are captives of their past. Some people worry about financial problems or relationships gone wrong. Studies have shown that 97% of the things people worry about never happen anyway, but yet they continue to run their minds in this way, allowing worry to rob them of our life force, and thus blocking the enormous potential of their minds to work magic and deliver into their lives all that they want, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Life is way to short and precious to waste it worrying over little things, little annoyances, most of which never happen anyway. Worry then becomes a habit. But you can change it using hypnosis, meditation and other methods. Compare negative habits to a crystal that has become filled with dark energy....imagine washing the crystal is sacred water, cleansing away all the negativity until it is bright and clear...this is what hypnosis will do. And then it's bye bye worry!

As Norman Vincent Peale once said 'You can if you think you can' and this is so true. It is essential to work on our thoughts before we take action, for our realities are the results of our inner thoughts. If you don't believe you will be successful and accept it then ...you will be right. If you worry over the outcome then same result! but you can, if you exercise will and persistence and mental calmness, think your way through anything. Your great tool is mind. Not your 'conscious mind', but your 'subconscious mind' that you can effortlessly access in the hypnotic state. With your subconscious mind you have the power over all conditions and circumstances and over any problem however difficult! Yes you can if you think you can! Start to see your mind for what it is - natures greatest gift - and know the truth about you is magnificent and you have already all of the answers and resources within you that you need to stop worrying today and start living! Start today developing new positive thoughts and with some persistence and repetition they will soon develop in to new positive habits and behaviors. 

My 3 session hypnosis program will help you change habits and behaviors and open doors to positive thoughts, habits, behaviors and success. Call now on 086 8211677

Are you READY to Stop Smoking?

This time of year is a wonderful opportunity to make a change in your life and kick the filthy nasty habit that is smoking, but how do you know you are ready?  In this blog post I will be explaining how it is so important to consciously want to stop smoking but also why sometimes even wanting consciously to stop smoking can end in disappointment.

When someone rings me to stop smoking the first thing I ask is 'On a scale of 1-10 how much do you really WANT to stop smoking'? It is so important that the smoker is ready to take personal responsibility and commit to stopping smoking. I always ask some questions to find out are they really committed or are in actual fact are 'half hearted' about it. Of course like everything if life if you approach it with this attitude you are not going to be successful. Now if they give me a 9-10 answer that is fantastic because is shows me they are ready to use the powerful tool we call hypnosis the be free.

So why can hypnosis make it easy to stop? Well in the past that person who gave me a 9-10 answer, may have tried to stop many times strictly at a conscious level, which usually fails because it comes into conflict with the subconscious. This is because no matter how much they want to quit consciously, if the subconscious mind does not agree, it will not work. If the two minds (conscious and subconscious) are not in agreement the subconscious will always win out.  Wanting to stop smoking is a conscious decision and a good one, but what happens is that when the message reaches the subconscious it meets resistance because most smokers keep reminding themselves that they can't stop smoking and that it is going to be 'so hard to stop' (which is a negative suggestion). Every time they do that they are sending a suggestion to the subconscious that locks it down as a powerful message that blocks the conscious. Usually the smoker has attached pleasure to smoking such as "I need a cigarette when I get up in the morning,"; "after a meal", "with a drink" and more attachments that are there at a subconscious level. These attachments can be removed easy using hypnosis.


Many smokers keep giving excuses why they continue to smoke (e.g. boredom, it relaxes me, etc.) but at the end of the day they are just fooling themselves. Excuses are given by what I refer to as the 'monkey' mind, as deep down most know that the human lungs were never meant to be used as a chimney, but are for breathing fresh air. Some smokers will admit they hate the taste of cigarettes or that is is of course very bad for their health, but yet they keep smoking...and the harder they try to stop the harder it gets....why? Because it is not a logical (conscious) problem it is a subconscious emotional attachment. There is literally a smoking program running at the subconscious level that keeps them lighting up.

Hypnosis works because it is a great way to bypass the critical factor of the conscious mind and remove that smoking program at the subconscious level. Yes there is never a better time than the present but first a smoker must be honest with themselves and really want to stop. After that if they commit to the hypnotic process and follow instructions then they will be free, just like they have never smoked in the first place (as the program is now removed), with in most cases no cravings (and if the exist they are relatively mild and disappear after a few week as the nicotine leaves the body). 

The value of the one hypnosis session to stop smoking is 250 euros. It is important to look at this as an investment. A pack of cigarettes now costs 12 euros, so for a pack a day smoker that works out at 84 euros per week, 336 per month, 4,032 euros per yer. The initial investment to stop smoking you will get back in just under three weeks... remember also...you can't put a price on your health...

I hope you have enjoyed this blog. Please share it will all you smoking friends...wishing you all a great and smoke free 2019!

Creatively Visualising your New Years Resolutions

Creative Visualization is the technique of using your imagination to create what you want in your life. We use visualization everyday, even if unknown to ourselves, as it is the basic creative energy of the universe. However you don't need to 'believe' or 'have faith' in any spiritual or metaphysical ideas in order for it to work. It is a natural process of utilizing the right side of your brain. It is a wonderful mindset to have any time of the year, but sometimes a new year is a great chance for a fresh start and new way of looking at things.

Image result for henry david thoreau quote creative visualization

Here is a very simple 5 step process of using this powerful methodology, so that you can set up the blueprint for a successful 2019!

1. Set your Goal (make sure it is a SMART goal ~ an acronym for the 5 steps of specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-based, is one of the most effective tools used by high achievers to reach their goals consistently.), i.e. this could be to quit smoking, lose weight, improved health or simply a change in your life circumstance.

Image result for henry david thoreau quote the secret of achievement

2. Create a clear idea or picture or feeling of the object or situation exactly as you want it and think of about it in present tense AS-IF it is already existing the way you want it to be.

Image result for creative visualisation

3. Bring the picture to mind regularly, both before you go to bed at night and first thing when you wake up in the morning and then throughout your day. Make it so it becomes an integrated part of your life, so that it can become more real every time you think about it.

4. Focus on your goal and look at it in positive, encouraging way, making strong positive statements to yourself and envisioning that is has come or is now coming to you. See yourself receiving and achieving it.

5. 'Just Do It' - Make a daily check list of activities and actions that will go towards manifesting that desired outcome. Work towards this desired outcome with passion and determination. Creative visualization in itself is great, but sometimes fails as this final stop of the process is sometimes forgotten about.

Image result for action as well as creative visualisation

Note that some goals can change before they are achieved, which is a natural part of the process. Allow yourself to make mistakes too and if you have a bad day, don't beat yourself up, dust yourself down and know tomorrow is another opportunity to put things right. We wouldn't be human if we didn't make mistakes and this is how we learn. But remember You Can If You Think You Can...don't let the fake 'limitations' stop you! We are all capable of doing so much more that we would ever realize!

5 reasons Why Hypnosis is the best way to quit smoking

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my 48th blog post! Let me get straight to the point in this one. It seems unfortunate that e-cigarettes are all the rave at the moment. It's frustrating for me to see people puffing away on these things, knowing for a fact that it doesn't have to be that way....if they only knew that hypnosis is by far the most easy and effective method to quit smoking. In this blog I will give 5 reasons why this is the case.

1. At least part of the reason why people continue to smoke is 'Nicotine'. Yes, it is very addictive ~ but the good news is that nicotine leaves the body relatively quickly (Less than 3 weeks) and after that it really is all in the mind. Alan Carrs excellent book 'The easy way to stop smoking'1 explains this very well ~ he calls it the 'nicotine trick', meaning once you put out that last cigarette the nicotine level in your body drops, which triggers a message to the brain to put in more nicotine, which results in that feeling of a 'craving'. So you light up the next cigarette to feed to monster and it then becomes a never ending cycle. 

In the less than three weeks it takes for nicotine to leave the body, hypnosis can make that process very easy if instructions are followed. Why: Because the part that makes you smoke is removed (see reason 4) and suggestions are given not to have cravings. By using a 'substitute' such as an e-cig or nicotine patches, all you are really doing is swapping one bad habit for another and you still have the nicotine, which is actually part of the problem. I don't see the point in using 'more of the problem to solve the problem'. 

Truth: You might remember living up to your teenage years or longer without the need for nicotine? You don't need it in any form. The fact is it is a poison to the human body.

2. Hypnosis encourages you to exert personal responsibility over the choices that you are making. All hypnosis is 'self hypnosis' and my stop smoking clients really do all the work themselves (I really just 'facilitate the process'). By stopping using the power of your own mind, comes a great sense of achievement, accomplishment and pride much greater than can ever be achieved by a puffing away on an e-cigarette.


Truth: You do not need any crutches, you can do this yourself and be free.

3. Hypnosis will empower you with 'self belief' and 'confidence'. We all have far more potential than we would ever realize, but sometimes that power is lying dormant within us. Hypnosis will allow you to reignite that fire within and awake your true power, which is the nemesis of the smoking habit which of course dis-empowers you. 

Truth: You CAN stop smoking easily if you put your mind to it! Just commit to the hypnotic process and follow all instructions.

4. Neurologically speaking, we are all programmed at an automatic subconscious level, the manifestation of which are habits and behaviors. Hypnosis by-passes the critical factor of your conscious mind (which holds limitations in place, i.e. the 'i can't mentality') and accesses the powerful subconscious, to remove the program (or programs) that are making you smoke. So it literally is 'good riddance to bad rubbish'!

Truth: This is the exact reason why after my hypnosis stop smoking program many people report that: "It's like I never smoked in the first place". 

5. Studies have shown time and time again that stopping smoking using hypnosis is the most effective method.2 Many of these studies have shown up to 90% success rate (as apposed to say 5% for stopping using 'will power).3

Truth: I cannot MAKE people stop smoking but I can HELP. I don't keep stats because from experience, if you want to stop smoking and commit to the process it's = 100% successful.... if you don't, it's = 0%. I have helped hundreds of people stop smoking since I began my hypnotherapy business in 2010. Please refer to my many testimonials in the citations.4

You owe it to yourself to stop smoking. There are no advantages to it and you are only leaving behind a disgusting habit. Cigarettes have now gone up to 12 euros a pack in the most recent budget. But more importantly you cannot put a price on your health! 

There will never be a better moment than now to stop smoking. Make that first step and call me now on 086 8211677.
