I wonder if anyone has heard of an A.W.E. walk?
An A.W.E.(Attention, Wait, Exhale) walk is a 15–30 minute stroll that helps to reduce anxiety and worry by shifting focus away from repetitive, internal thoughts.
How to do it:
1. Before you start, take a few deep, equal breaths to help ground yourself into the present.
2. Shift your focus between the vast, the sky or horizon, tall architecture etc. and the minute, the texture of tree bark, the patterns on a leaf.
3. Notice the air on your skin and the rhythmic sound of your footsteps. Stop to listen to sounds that are far away versus those that are close.
4. Compare how you felt before and after your A.W.E. walk

Why It Works
Scientific research shows that people who take regular A.W.E walks report a greater sense of joy and a sense of "small self"—a healthy perspective shift where personal worries feel less overwhelming compared to the vastness of the world.

So why not give it a go – I’d be interested to hear how you got on.

We’ve all heard the phrase “keep your chin up”, but did you know there are both physical and psychological reasons for doing so?

Here’s something for you to try: if safe to do so, allow your head and eyes to drop and look down. Take a moment to notice how you feel.
Now, with your head in a neutral position facing forward, keep your head still and look up with your eyes. Don’t overstrain, and if outside, don’t look directly at the sun. Once again, notice how you feel.

Lifting your gaze provides a powerful shift in both physical health and mental perspective. Looking up can quieten the brain's stress response and lower cortisol levels. It aids memory recall and allows for visual thinking. It can boost alertness, creative thinking, and concentration, along with improved self-confidence and a sense of happiness. It also improves breathing and posture.

Excessive looking down often signals introspection, rumination, negative self-talk, and even insecurity.

If you don’t look up, you may not see the lamppost you’re about to walk into.

Here’s an interesting experiment.
Take a moment to look around you and identify everything you can see that is coloured red.
Now, close your eyes, and list everything you spotted whilst looking around that was coloured yellow – tricky isn’t it.
The Reticular Activating System (RAS) is a bundle of nerves in the brainstem that act as a gatekeeper, filtering millions of bits of data. It highlights what you focus on, essentially making it a "search engine" for your beliefs and goals.
Often, especially when experiencing anxiety, we only look for negatives.

If we only focus on one colour, we’ll never get the opportunity to see the rainbow.

It's holiday season once again, and if you've booked, or are looking to book a flight and are feeling apprehensive, you may be surprised to discover exactly how hypnotherapy can help you.
Here's recent feedback from a client I had the pleasure of working with.

"Hi Paul, you will be pleased to know that we all had a great holiday. I was absolutely fine with the flying, no panic during the waiting at the airport and no panic on the flights. The flights were good, on time and very smooth.
Thank you very much for your understanding and helping me to change my mindset and approach things positively and banishing the negatives that had taken hold."

With regard to my post yesterday: After careful consideration I have decided to withdraw promotion of the Frail Loops Hypnosis Technique until at least April Fools Day 2075. I’ve reached the conclusion that the world has enough despots as it is.

I've been asked this by clients so many times, and now I'm very pleased to be able to say that, as well as a new website, I now have a virtual shop where you can download Hypnotherapy and Meditation recordings.

You can download free and paid for MP3s, and I'll be adding more in the coming months.
All seems to be working well, but if you do download, I'd appreciate your feedback either as a review or to me directly, just to ensure all's OK.

I hope you enjoy.

Spent a wonderful few hours this afternoon attempting to make a masterpiece out of clay. I can't quite decide what it is, and indeed what it's going to be used for but then sometimes it's the journey rather than the destination that's important.
A big thank you to Emma at Brick Kiln Pottery for her patience and wisdom.
I'd highly recommend it to anyone.
