Time to Reflect

0

As the months roll on and we start to put winter behind us, many of us start to plan ahead for holidays and other life events.
The spring time which brings new growth, also helps us to reflect on what matters most to us, and we may feel energised to become fitter, healthier of body and mind and more resolute in our plans and goals for the future.
It is also important when reflecting on our lives to take the focus inwards towards our own self belief, level of confidence in our skills and abilities, which are often the things that hold us back in being successful in life.
Lack of self belief and confidence creates negative energy within us, which ultimately develops into stress and anxiety, reinforcing our thoughts and feelings of being unable to make a difference in our own life plan and how we interact with others. This can also lead to physical health problems. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is one well known condition that affects many people which is often aggrivated by stress and anxiety. For readers who suffer with IBS, they may be interested to know that April, is national IBS awareness month, and further information can be found at the links below.
Physical symptoms of stress and anxiety are numerous, but in most of the population will at some level cause some form of pain i.e. headaches, muscle or joint pain, sleepless nights, upset stomachs, fatigue, infections and potential diseases, caused by a low immune system.
The immune system is affected by chemicals in the brain. If there is overstimulation by irrational fear and stress responses, the chemicals released will flood the body and suppress the immune system. If this carries on for a long period of time, even when there is no real, only perceived threats occurring, potentially causing chronic illness and disease to develop.
It is important to build in time as a matter of course for self reflection. Many people who suffer from chronic illness are learning mindfulness techniques in order to get well again. However, it is important to become mindful and creative in ways of thinking and being, in order to maintain health and emotional wellbeing.
When offering Hypnotherapy to people, the intention is to help that person to heal on all levels, and to become more mindful of their own self beliefs and limitations, which cause longer term damage emotionally, psychological and physically. We teach people to become more responsible for themselves and to learn new skills in order to create positive change for themselves, no matter what the problem is they present with. At the end of the day we are helping people to heal themselves.
If you feel now is the right time for you to make the necessary changes in your life, turn your self reflections into action, and we can discuss with you in a 1 to 1 consultation your options for making life better for yourself. We offer individual Hypnotherapy sessions, and also offer Hypnotherapy Diploma Training for those interested in becoming Hypnotherapists. Please contact either myself or Cate Todd on 01925 658322 or visit our website www.thecch.com. If you are suffering from IBS or any other conditions please contact us on the number above or at www.michaelmahoneyhypnotherapist.com
