Amazing to realise that the first 6 months of 2025 are over, and now we are entering the second half. By now, most New Year’s resolutions are a distant memory. Around this time many of us find ourselves:

- Still worrying all the time - Simply unable to switch off that voice in your head dictating every move you make!

- Eating less healthily – You always have good intentions… but always being pulled back to junk food

- Falling behind on our fitness plans – It starts well, but you lack the discipline to continue

- Slipping back into old bad habits

- Still in the job / relationship you hate

- Losing hope that this year will be much different than the previous one

If this sounds familiar, did you know that it’s usually only your own self-limiting beliefs holding you back – thinking that change is not possible for you? Actually, 2025 can still be a breakthrough year for you. But understand that the one big obstacle that's been pinning you down this year - that has sabotaged you in previous years - and that will continue to silently suppress your limitless potential, for as long as you don't address it, is your own limiting beliefs in each area of your life, and how they silently hold you back.

Hypnotherapy can release your limiting beliefs, boost your confidence and let go of anything that’s holding you back. So, whatever area of your life you feel stuck with, know you don’t have to be held back from your goals and fullest potential. I have some amazing techniques, using a combination of hypnotherapy, NLP, CBT, energy psychology, and coaching to get great results. If you have any questions or would like to try, please contact me.

JK Rowling was turned down by 12 publishers before finding success with "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". Think about that, she was rejected so many times, yet she never stopped believing in the quality of her work and having total conviction that Harry Potter would be a success.

It can be easy to give up (especially on cold dark winter days when it's hard to muster any motivation). That's one option, or....... you could be like JK Rowling and not allow yourself to be beaten. Keep going. Have belief in yourself and not let rejection/difficult times to ruin you.

If you need help with motivation or goal setting, why not book a FREE consultation.

Still plenty of time to write your own book for this year! Decide what it is you want in 2025 and gain some absolute clarity on what needs to happen to get there!

For instance, in the last 2 weeks, I've had clients who want to resolve past trauma, stop drinking, quit va**ng, be more confident in meetings, drop a dress size etc etc.
So I urge you to have a really good think about what you want to happen in 2025 and most importantly.....take action! Otherwise, nothing will change.....this year will be the same as the last.

If I can help in any way, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Thanks. Peter

You started the new year with big goals. Maybe you're eating healthier, started excercising, wanting to lose the excess pounds. But now? you're frustrated and unmotivated. Want to know why you find it hard to make healthy choices and take better care of your body?

Well, that's because your mind is made up of two parts: The conscious and the subconscious (or unconscious, as some refer to it) When you go about your day, you might think that your conscious mind is running the show, but scientists reckon that your subconscious mind is in charge about 90% of the time.

What this means is that your past experiences, thoughts, memories and beliefs are influencing what you think, say, eat, and do each day. So, when it comes to taking care of your body, you may have the best intentions (consciously) of being slimmer and looking and feeling healthier, but unless you re-set your subconscious mind, lasting change will not happen.

Think of your mind like an iceberg. The small part sticking out of the water is the conscious mind and the much larger part submerged below the water line is the subconscious mind. How do you do change subconscious beliefs? Using hypnosis, to target those thoughts that aren’t serving you and changing them into more positive ones or simply letting them go.

Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD)

So I’ve had a number of questions regarding Social Anxiety Disorder. Here is my take:

Firstly, undertstand there are various types of “anxiety” that people tend to experience. There's General Anxiety Disorder, Performance Anxiety, Obsessive compulsive disorder, Post-traumatic stress disorder, and so on. Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) can completely debilitate someone to the extent that they’re not able to take advantage of opportunities which come their way, to develop meaningful relationships and limiting themselves to only a small network of friends and work associates that they are comfortable with.

What makes it worse for people with SAD is that the advice they’re given is “just be more social” or “don’t be so shy” or “it’s only a drink/meal/event”. If you know someone with SAD, while you may have good intentions, these types of comments are really not helpful, and tend to make the person even more anxious. So here are some ideas to help you understand better:

When we think of people as being introverted, we often wrongly assume that they are people who don’t like people. Wrong! Understand that each and every one of us is wired differently. For some, diving straight into a conversation with new people comes naturally for others less so.

Understand that we all get a little nervous in new social settings, meeting new people and so on. A little stress can beneficial here, but for a person with SAD, the cortisol and adrenalin levels are overwhelming. Hard though it might be, you simply need to tell yourself “this is uncomfortable, but this feeling won’t last and it’s not life threatening”

Practice getting out of your comfort zone. The best way is to practice regularly with everyday interactions. Start small. Ask an open question or make a comment (about the weather/traffic/TV programme) to a colleague you rarely speak to, the cashier at the coffee shop – you get the picture! After a while you will notice your confidence levels increasing, naturally and easily.

Once you feel OK with above, accept an invitation. Something you would normally say “no” to. It could be something as low key as a Friday after work drink. You can tell yourself “one drink” and then I’ll leave (by doing so, you are not putting pressure on yourself to stay longer). Take advantage of networking opportunities and getting to know others.

The goal here is not to change someone from being an introvert to an extrovert, but simply to move from a fear based perspective of feeling awkward or uncomfortable to one where you feel relaxed and comfortable.
I hope this is useful and if you would like to know how hypnotherapy can help with social anxiety disorder, please get in touch.
