There is a saying I've been repeating to many clients recently... Everything you want is on the other side of discomfort.

But what does that mean? I'll use myself as an example.

From ages 14-30 I hated the way I looked, I spent half my life being unhappy with my physical appearance, I had body dysmorphia and had zero confidence. After recieving therapy I was encouraged to do things to change my opinion of myself so I pushed myself far out of my comfort zone and signed myself up to do some amateur modelling 😬

This was taken on my second or third shoot and it was the turning point in my journey into loving myself.

I think many people can relate to this, to going 15+ years without seeing a picture of yourself that you like.

I'm here to tell you as living proof, that can change and it's easier than you think.

Hypnotherapy can help you think differently, see things anew. Do you really want to spend another 15 years being unhappy with the skin you're in, or would you like to find that inner confidence and enjoy your body?

I really hope it's the latter and if so, get in touch with me today so you can learn to push through the discomfort and find the inner peace you've been looking for. 🙏

Two blue ticks on a message do not mean you are obligated to reply instantly.

Notification anxiety is a real thing. That feeling that you can't just leave a message to reply to it later. Do you ever feel your phone buzz in your pocket but it didn't actually buzz? It's called phantom texts.

I hereby give you full permission to not reply to messages/emails/notifications immediately. This insane expectation that you must just causes anxiety that is completely unacceptable.

A regular detox is a great way to get back control for a while. If you can take yourself away from your phone for a few days, you'll be amazed how relaxed your brain will be after 48 hours without the constant stimulation.

If you find yourself feeling anxious without really knowing why, this could be why.

If you want to learn to do something about it then come for some therapy with me and your brain will thank you for it 😊🙏

Therapeutic massage is one of the best things you can do for your body and your spirit.
To be truly taken care of by another human being, no pressure, no need for reciprocation, you can just relax and accept the care given to you, such a rare thing these days.
Have a read of these reviews and if your body is telling you that you need this, then maybe book in and find out for yourself...

Humans aren't designed to have access to world news 24/7. We aren't designed to be aware that other countries even exist!

We have the capacity to know what's going on in our village, to understand the social dynamics of our family and friends so we can navigate our tribe.

The constant feed of negative news from around the world, directly to our phones causes more stress and anxiety than people realise. It's not healthy for us.

I switched off the news nearly ten years ago, if I'm in the car and the news comes on the radio I turn it off. I want my energy to go to what I can control, that's me, my family and my tribe. I can help them I can keep my capacity free for those I can help and I don't spend my evenings worrying about things I have no control over or no need to know about.

If you're finding the constant fear mongering overwhelming, take a break. The world will go on turning without you having to be aware of everything going on and you might just find yourself better for it.
I know I am. 🙏

What does Origin Wellbeing mean?

We evolved in nature, living outdoors, eating the food we could find or catch, walking for miles every day, spending time in small tribes, swimming in the rivers and sea, getting lots of sunlight and playing with our fellow tribesmen, creating bonds and feelings of security.

I believe that to be happy and healthy we need to return to our origins as best we can.

I'm not suggesting you move to a cave, but I am saying that we need to move more, get outside more no matter the weather, we need to eat foods that have only one thing written on the ingredients label, we need to have good interactions with our tribe and learn to play again, we need to notice and interact with nature.

All these things feed our bodies and our minds with everything we need in order to feel happy, and with that in place we can cope so much better with the modern world.

So, that is why I am Origin Wellbeing.

If you'd like help to feel happier, learn to notice the good in the world again, learn to relax the body and mind, release negative habits, and become a healthy human being then please get in touch.

I am certified in hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, massage and meditation.

Don't spend another day feeling out of place and not knowing why. Return to your origins and feel happy once again 😊🙏

No one is perfect, we all have things that get on our nerves more than they should.

For years, traffic was a big trigger point for me. If someone cut me up, sat in the middle lane for no reason or just generally drove badly I got unnecessarily angry, until someone said something to me that helped me let go of that anger.

Give them a reason to be innocent.

When someone does something to in traffic, or in life that upsets you, make up a reason that lets you believe it's not an attack on you.

If someone cuts you up, tell yourself that they have just received a phone call and their child has been taken to hospital and they are rushing to get there. Can you still be angry at that person?

Maybe tell yourself that the irattic movement they just did is because a baby in that car just screamed out of the blue and scared the life of of the driver, do you still judge them?

Likely not. And what did them cutting you up actually cost you? Half a second off the throttle and then back on again? Hardly going to ruin your day! Unless you let it.

So give them a reason to be innocent and driving becomes a much more pleasant experience 🙏🙌🚗

In hypnotherapy, I spend a lot of my time helping people understand that happiness doesn't come from the next promotion, the holiday, the new car or the big wedding, those events come along only one or twice a decade.

If you spend your life waiting for those events you'll spend most of it feeling miserable.

Happiness comes from the tiny things that happen every single day. The flowers that smile at you on the way to work. The break in the clouds on your lunch break, the smile a stranger gave you on your walk, the hug you got from your child after school, the relaxing bath after a long day, the foot massage your partner gives you without you having to ask.

When we learn to notice all these little things every day, or days become filled with joy, so that the person who cut you up in traffic becomes barely a blip on the radar, rather than the only thing that happened to you that day.

Practice writing down all the things that made you feel a little bit of joy at the end of the day, you'll be amazed at how good you'll start to feel 😊🙏

Meet your therapist... 😁

I've reached a lot of new people recently so welcome to you all.
I'm Michael, I am a wellbeing expert with a decade of experience in helping people to make positive change to their lives.

I'm a massage therapist, clinical hypnotherapist and psychotherapist, and certified meditation teacher.

That's my professional life, but who am I behind all that?

In my free time I enjoy playing chess, lots of chess! 😂 I'm a big formula 1 fan and try not to miss a race, my dream is to go to a race in person one day.

I'm a freedom seeker, one day I will be able to go off grid, have my own little homestead that is self sufficient, away from the internet, news, government influence and I can live the rest of my life as close to as nature intended as I can with like minded people around me.

I believe in natural healing, I haven't been to a doctor in around 8 years and I feel the strongest and healthiest I have since my 20s and I love helping other people begin to feel healthy again.

I strongly believe in living as naturally as we can, both for our own health, the health of our children and the health of the planet. Hence my business name, Origin Wellbeing, a call for us to return to our origins and live like we were made to, in nature, eating the food that nature provides, enjoying the weather by spending time outside, to socialise and play and focusing our energies on the positives and letting go of things outside our circle of control.

If so that resonates with you and your values then I think we'll get on and maybe I can help you start to make the positive changes to your life that you are seeking 🙌🙏

I think you need to give yourself a break. You were not designed to live in this world, none of us were.

We were designed to wake up with the sun, ease into our day, spend all day outside, walking, playing, hunting, gathering, socialising and then chilling in the evening. We are meant to eat natural foods and only be aware of the 40 square miles that surrounds your tribe.

We are not built to have credit scores, 24/7 news, 200+ notifications a day, emails, debt, school runs, exams, technical issues, we aren't made to sit still 9+ hours of the day and eat food that has more in common with the periodic table than a vegetable.

So if you're struggling, tired, anxious, have poor heath or a bleak outlook at the moment, then give yourself a break and understand you're not weak, you're not failing or broken. You're just living in the wrong environment. 🙏
