WEEK REVIEW

I have been busy lately signing off a lot of my clients, which is great news for them as they have achieved what they have set out to do. It is also great news for me, as my clients would have taken everything onboard to help navigate life and they will have all the tools to help them to continue to stay on track.

I have been recently working with a lot of smokers, (they are non smokers now). One client springs to mind, they came to see me as they had tried everything, they are in their 70's suffering now with COPD. Had been smoking since the age of 14, it started with ci******es now onto rollups. Cannot walk further then a few steps before getting out of breath, their quality of life had drastically changed, even doing small tasks such as housework, showering, changing the bed had become a chore because they did not have the energy or the lung capacity.

This client did the easy stop smoking programme and it has worked, their breathing is now becoming easier, they are able to walk about more and complete the mundane tasks that we all take for granted. They also have a lot more money!

It is never too late to STOP SMOKING.

If this sounds like you or someone you know I would love to help.

SELF CARE SUNDAY

✦Self care means taking time to do things you enjoy. Usually, self-care involves everyday activities that you find relaxing, fun, or energizing. These activities could be as simple as reading a book, or as big as going on holiday.

✦Self care also means taking care of yourself. This means eating regular meals, getting enough sleep, caring for personal hygiene, and anything else that maintains good health.

✦Make self care a priority. There will always be other things to do, but don’t let these interrupt the time you set aside for self-care. Self care should be given the same importance as other responsibilities.

✦Set specific self care goals. It’s difficult to follow through with vague goals, such as “I will take more time for self-care”. Instead, try something specific, such as “I will walk for 30 minutes every evening after dinner”.

✦Make self care a habit. Just like eating one apple doesn’t eliminate health problems, using self care just once won’t have much effect on reducing stress. Choose activities that you can do often, and that you will stick with.

✦Set boundaries to protect your self care. You don’t need a major obligation to say “no” to others your self care is reason enough. Remind yourself that your needs are as important as anyone else’s.

✦A few minutes of self care is better than no self care. Set an alarm reminding you to take regular breaks, even if it’s just a walk around the block, or an uninterrupted snack. Oftentimes, stepping away will energize you to work more efficiently when you return.

✦Unhealthy activities don’t count as self care. Substance use, over-eating, and other unhealthy behaviours might hide uncomfortable emotions temporarily, but they cause more problems in the long run.

✦Keep up with self care, even when you’re feeling good. Doing so will keep you in a healthy routine. Plus, self care might be part of the reason why you’re feeling good!

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough, and we'll be more content when they are.

After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our partner gets his or her act together when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice holiday, when we retire.

The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when?

Your life will always be filled with challenges.

It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.

A quote comes from Alfred D. Souza. He said,

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."

This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.

So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time...and remember that time waits for no one.

So, stop waiting until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until winter, until your song comes on, until you've had a drink.... there is no better time than right now to be happy.

Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

Work like you don't need money,

Love like you've never been hurt,

And dance like no one's watching.

RECOMMENDATIONS - GRIEF

I worked with this particular client over a number of sessions to help them navigate all the various emotions after experiencing the death of their parents and their beloved pet in quick succession.

Some sessions were incredibly emotional, but I gave the client time to show their emotions and talk about how they were feeling.

Everyone grieves in a very different way, it is unique to everyone. There is no end date or time to grief, we learn to survive and grow around it.

I provide a safe and private environment for all my clients to talk about anything that is concerning them.

This is what the client had to say.

'I WENT TO SEE RACHEL AFTER LOSING MY MUM AND STEP DAD WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER.
WE ALSO HAD TO HAVE OUR DEAR OLD DOG PUT TO SLEEP JUST AFTERWARDS TOO, WHICH COMPOUNDED THE LOSS.

RACHEL COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD THE IMMENSE PAIN OF THE GRIEF THAT I WAS GOING THROUGH AND HELPED ME TO TO NAVIGATE MY WAY THROUGH MY GRIEF JOURNEY WITH COMPASSION, KINDNESS AND AN EXPERT SET OF TOOLS TO USE TO HELP ME TO MOVE FORWARD.

I FELT COMPLETELY COMFORTABLE AND SAFE PROCESSING MY EMOTIONS WITH RACHEL KNOWING THAT THERE WAS NO JUDGMENT.
SHE GUIDED ME ON A PATHWAY UNIQUE TO ME TO BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH THE COMPLEXITY OF EMOTIONS THAT GRIEF BRINGS.

I HONESTLY CAN’T RECOMMEND RACHEL ENOUGH IF YOU’RE STRUGGLING WITH GRIEF AFTER LOSING SOMEONE CLOSE.'

If you can resonate with this or know someone that is struggling please do share my details. I would love to help.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

I have worked with many clients that have to come to me for help with weight loss and to create a healthier lifestyle.

I am not a nutritionist expert and what I offer is NOT A DIET.

✦I transform my clients to completely change their mindset on food.

✦Clients learn that food creates their mood, they learn that food is fuel for their body.

✦To have a better relationship with food, to understand that by eating in a more balanced and healthier way.

✦They are investing in themselves, they are investing in their mind and body to help them navigate any challenges they may face in the future.

✦They learn that movement does not have to be in a gym sweating, there are so many other options available.

✦They also learn to retrain their mindset on how they eat, why they eat and when they eat, and by doing this, will naturally help them to loose weight, loose inches, increase in energy, increase in confidence and so much more.

If you would like to know how I can help you with your relationship with food. Then get in touch.

If you need help it's often better to speak to someone outside your 'normal' circle, people you know often have preconceptions.

A good professional qualified therapist is all the things illustrated below.

Offering a non judgemental safe space to talk about any problems honestly, this begins the process of sorting things out.

If you need to talk, contact me www.simplyhypnotherapykent.co.uk or send me a WhatsApp message on 07539 435333

CONFIDENCE

Did you know that you are born with complete confidence?

When we are born, we do not know any different. We have not had anyone or any circumstances to impact our confidence levels. We are completely confident when we are born and only have a fear of falling and loud noises.
Do you ever watch your children learn to crawl, walk, run, play etc? They are very determined and seem to have no fear.

It is only when we grow and experience different situations, circumstances and get influenced by our peers, compare ourselves to others, face failures, let downs and challenges.

We then learn to be less confident or to have less self belief.

Confidence and belief can shape us into to who we are and how our life will turn out. Our environment, experiences and our people that influence us.

When we believe in ourselves, we may have had an amazing supportive environment with great positive influencers, this in turn will have a positive impact on our confidence levels and our self belief.

The good thing about the things that we learn when we are growing up, is that we can also unlearn unhelpful behaviours ie: low self belief, lacking in confidence.

I am a therapist that wants you to grow and develop and become all the things that you were born with, complete confidence and complete self belief.
I would love to help you. So please get in touch.

ANXIETY

No one knows what symptoms you are experiencing because we are great at masking them.

If you are suffering from any of these, hypnotherapy is a fantastic way to learn coping techniques, to rewire your neural pathways so you remain always in control.

NEW MONTH = REFLECTION

So it is August! I cannot believe how quick this year is going. The beginning of the month is a great time to reflect and review how well your previous month has gone.

What your highlights were and maybe your down times, what you have learnt, what you might change, or if you could do it again how would you do it differently. What you might need help with.

The start of a new month gives us new opportunities, to learn about ourselves, grow and develop into the best version of us!

If you want to know how therapy can help you move forward then get in touch.
