Mindset Shift Idea

What are you expecting from yourself?

Sometimes the pressure we feel doesn’t come from anyone else. It's coming from the expectations that we've placed on ourselves and the belief that we should be doing more or getting everything right.

We can be incredibly hard on ourselves, we expect ourselves to get things right the first time and to be able to cope with everything that life throws at us and still have everything under control.

And when you don’t you are very quick to tell yourself you’ve failed.

If a friend came to you and told you they were struggling with the very thing you're struggling with, would you speak to them in the same way you're speaking to yourself? I very much doubt it.

You'd probably tell them that they're doing their best, that nobody gets everything right, that it's okay to have an off day.

So perhaps you need to offer yourself some of the same advice.

It doesn't mean lowering your standards or giving up on the things that matter to you. It simply means relieving some of the pressure.

This week, notice when you're putting pressure on yourself and ask, "Would I expect this from someone I care about?"

It could change the way you speak to yourself.

You can’t fix what you can’t face.

Imagine the room below was a room in your house ( I apologies if this offends, but it’s not my choice of decor for a room) and every time you passed it you would feel anxious. Then you decide to close the door so you can’t see it, out of sight out of mind right? Nope, it’s still there. So you still feel anxious about it.

Each time you pass and think about what’s behind that door the anxiety becomes more and more.

A similar thing happened with me. My mum had a stroke whilst she was staying with us. Every time I walked past the door, which I had to do to get to my room, I could picture her there struggling, unable to speak and hardly able to move. After she died I closed the door and avoided the room. But I knew I couldn’t keep avoiding it forever, it’s a spare room we use for guests. I changed the decor in it but I could still see here there.

I had to get help to deal with the image and that’s when I discovered how powerful Havening was. Which is why I decided to train in it and something that I now use with many of my clients.

You have to open the door and assess what is wrong and plan to make the changes. For me it wasn’t just a case of changing the decor, it was changing how I thought about that room and the feelings it created within my body.

Avoiding the issue doesn’t work, facing it and dealing with it does.

How You Can Rewire Your Brain

Most of us focus on what’s gone wrong in our life or focus on how we don’t want to feel.

What if I told you that in only a few weeks you can shift your mindset into a more positive mindset.

There’s one simple way to help you rewire your brain and activate your serotonin, which helps to stabilise your mood and your emotions, and dopamine, which is the pleasure hormone.

And this has even been scientifically proven.

It’s something I get the majority of my clients to do.

What is it, and how can you do it today to start help rewiring your brain?

It’s simply writing down at least 3 things that you are grateful for.

Writing down things that have gone right for you or things that you appreciate your brain starts to look for the good in your life, switching your focus from the negative to the positive, your reality will then start to shift.

In just a few weeks you might find that you sleep better, your stress and anxiety levels have reduced.

I do this every day and have done for many years.

The more you focus on what you do want or focus on the good things that happen in your life, the more you’ll find it.

The key rule is. Specificity matters. Writing detailed, specific entries works much better than repeating vague statements like "I am grateful for my morning coffee". Change it to "I am grateful for the quiet 10 minutes I had this morning, holding a hot mug of coffee before anyone else woke up, listening to the birds."

Don’t use your phone to do it, actually write it with pen and papers.

Get yourself a note book or if you like you can purchase my Seeds Of Gratitude- The Journey To Joy journal on Amazon. https://amzn.eu/d/0ejaZDHd

What 3 things are you grateful for today?

Not all thoughts are true

I had depression for almost 15 years. It started as post natal depression which just grew from there into anxiety. I couldn’t see a way out.

I would tell myself that I was useless, that I’d always feel this way, that I was a burden to others. It didn’t help that my marriage at that time was wasn’t in a good way. My now ex husband was always cheating with someone else so that made me believe that I wasn’t good enough and that there had to be something wrong with me.

That was all just thoughts and there was a way out of it. When I look back I can’t even imagine what I was like then. Im thankful I got the help I needed, but more importantly, I took the help and decided enough was enough.

If you’re struggling remember not all thoughts are true, question those thoughts and look for a way to change it.

“Nobody likes me” can become “there are people out there that care about me”.

“I’m always going to feel this way” can be “I’ll get through this one step at a time”

You have to be an active participant in making those changes.

Myths About Anxiety

Myth - People with anxiety are just seeking attention.

The truth is anxiety is a deeply personal and more often than not hidden struggle for many.

Most people try to mask their symptoms so they don’t daw attention to themselves.

So sometime what looks like attention seeking isn’t actually attention seeking.

It might be that they’re finally reaching out after spending a long time hiding how they’ve really felt.

If we make assumptions it might mean they’re less likely to ask for help, so being a bit more compassionate and understanding goes a long way.

All they might want is for you to simply listen without judgement.

Has someone misunderstood you because of how they thought you seemed on the outside.

Mindset Shift Idea

What do you find yourself saying yes to?

We spend a lot of time thinking about the things that we want to say no to but every time we say yes to something we’re giving it out time, energy and attention.

Sometimes you might say yes without even really thinking about it. It might be you say yes because you don’t want to disappoint someone, or because you feel guilty, maybe because it’s easier than saying no (a lot of mums will understand that), it might just be that that’s the way you’ve always done it.

Then we wonder why we’re feeling tired, overwhelmed or feeling like we don’t have enough time to ourselves.

Take a moment today and ask yourself

“what am I saying yes to that no longer feels right?”
“What could I have time for if I said no?”

You could be saying yes to something that takes up more of your time than it should. Maybe it’s something you started and have outgrown but now feel committed to doing it. Sometimes we just say yes when we actually mean no.

When you say not it’s not being selfish and it doesn’t mean that you don’t care. Your time and energy might be limited and you get to choose where you want to put that.

Pay attention this weekend and notice the things you automatically say yes to but before you answer give yourself a moment to think. Do you actually want to say yes to it?

You might be surprised how much lighter you feel by being more intentional about what it is you say yes to.

Be your own hero

In the movies there is always a hero. They may have had to face many obstacles to get to where they are, they will have had to overcome their own flaws. That flaw can threaten to hold them back, but somehow they find a way to overcome it and be the hero.

In your own life you may well be aware of your own flaws. You know what holds you back and prevents you from becoming the person you ideally want to be. The flaws that might stop you from being your own hero.

So what do you do. Do you face the adversities, the challenges that are presented? Do you learn from the people who inspire you? Do you face your fear in pursuit of finding your happiness?

Or do you put your energy into a life of avoiding the things that create the fear, the stress or anxiety and do what you can to stay the same.

You don’t get to decide what challenges life throws at you, but you do get to decide how you respond to those challenges. You may have to face things you never wanted to face and are more than likely never prepared to face. But remember this is your story and you can decide if you want to be the hero in it.

When you decide to be your own hero just think of all those around you who might be inspired by you and make the decisions themselves to be their own hero in the story of their life.

If you need help, it’s ok to ask for it.

WHERE’S YOUR HEAD AT?

Have you heard the saying where focus goes energy flows?

If you wake up with that feeling of dread and worry about how your day is going to go, you’re already planning what kind of day to have.

If you’re worried about the big boss coming to work and you just know he’s going to put you in a bad mood, then it’ll happen.

If you think about what’s going to make you anxious today then that’ll happen.

When you’re focusing on that one bad thing you can’t be focusing on the good things.

The part of your brain called The Reticular Activating System (RAS), is responsible for you taking what you are focusing on and filtering it through your brain. By focusing on the good things you want in life you can train your RAS to filter out only those things.

How often do you wake up and think today is gonna be a great day, I’m going to be so positive and enjoy the day?

Allow your focus to flow on the good you want to happen and that’s where your energy will go.

I’d love to hear what good things you want to experience today.

5 Ways To Become More Confident

Being more confident isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s built through what you do. It’s not something that you magically find hidden in the bottom of the wardrobe.

How can you become more confident?

Keep the promise you make to yourself. Every time you say you’re going to do something actually do it. Not “trying” to do it, just doing it. By doing that you build trust in yourself. Start small and your brain will notice it.

Stop waiting until you’re ready. Confidence is something that grows because we’ve taken action. When you think about something you’re good at you may not have felt confident to begin with but the more you do something the more confident you become at doing it.
You learned, you might have practiced and made a few mistakes but as time went on the more you did it the more confident you became.

Challenge the way you talk to yourself. Pay attention to how quickly you might say “I can’t do that”, “I’ll mess that up”, or the one most people say is “I’m not good enough,”. Would you speak to someone you care about like that? Probably not. So change the conversation you have with yourself.

Do one thing that stretches you every day. You don’t have to do anything big because even the smallest thing that stretches you is proof that you are capable. So it might be trying something newc making a phone call, saying no to something you would normally say yes to.

Stop comparing your journey to someone else’s.

Everyone’s life, confidence or success isn’t the same measure as yours. Focus on how far you have come and the person that you’re becoming.

Confidence isn’t about never feeling nervous or uncertain, it’s know that when you do feel those things, that you can handle it

The biggest confidence boost comes from doing the things you were convinced you couldn’t do.

Myths About Anxiety

Myth number 9. If you avoid your triggers, your anxiety will go away.

Avoiding what makes you feel anxious can seem like a good idea, but it’s not. When we avoid situations that bring on anxiety you can actually keep it going.

But if you change the thought pattern you can actually be more confident around the things that once made you feel overwhelmed.

We have a thought, that creates a feeling that then creates an action, so in a session this is what we look at and we change how you feel about that thought.

Have you ever avoided something because of anxiety, only to find that it became even harder to face later?
