Good Enough and Getting Better

On this episode, I share a variety of different ways to explore the role your perspective plays in your life, and various ways to shift or expand your perspective. I hope you pick one or two that speak to your current situation, and take some time to question and explore. 

Here are the list of questions at the end, as a sort of recap and reminder of what we covered in this episode: 

• Regarding your frame of reference, what experiences are over-represented or underrepresented, when contrasted with the wider world of experiences? 

• In regards to difficult relationships and interactions, what factors might be influencing the other people involved? What factors have led YOU to act and respond in the ways you do? How can this understanding improve your communications moving forward? 

• When something is stressing you out, ask yourself how you will feel about this thing in 10 years?

• Ask yourself what ways you have held yourself back, because you were predicting a negative future outcome? If you are doing so, ask yourself to remember all the times things have surprised you as a way to remember that you don’t know this negative future to be true.

• Where are my expectations for myself and others out of alignment with reality? Where have I created stories of what “should be” rather than recognizing things as they are and working with that?

• Where am I letting external feedback have too much influence over me? Are there areas where I can benefit from receiving more external feedback? 

• And finally, what traits and qualities am I assigning myself as fixed, rather than allowing myself room to grow? Where am I assigning fixed traits to others in my life?

This year, I am suggesting you can be your own valentine, whether you have a sweetheart or not. This super important relationship we have for our entire lives sometimes needs attention in the same way our relationships with other require intentional focus. In this hypnosis journey, we're visiting the "Museum of You" where your unconscious mind can give you greater perspective and appreciation for yourself, for the qualities and habits you like about yourself, as well as the ones that have not been your favorites so far. Allow the symbols to work at a deep level and experience the change in your day to day life, or get some insight and clarity from understanding more about yourself from this experience. However you experience this museum, just know that it works on different levels to help you improve your perspective and appreciation for yourself, which is a great foundation for healthy relationships with others as well.

I hope you enjoy listening or re-listening to this hypnosis track all about self love. Everything we try to do in life is easier when we can do it with compassion and understanding for ourselves.

In this episode, I am sharing an empowering framework for thinking about our relationships, which gives us an effective strategy for changing the dynamics of our difficult interactions, without having to directly change another person (something which never works, as attractive of an idea as it always seems!). We also discuss how  to set boundaries in these relationships, when needed, in a more empowering way. 

My "Happier Holidays" group session is coming up December 7, join me here to learn how to use tapping to begin creating some of these positive shifts right away, and to use hypnosis to release stress and other emotional baggage which makes the holidays a hard time for so many of us.  https://bookme.name/lenorehypnosis/happier-holidays

In this episode, we go on a hypnosis journey together to explore different ways our mind can clear up the feelings of stress and anxiety using elements of the natural world as a healing metaphor. This serves as a way to help ourselves feel better in the moment, and also as a part of the process to train ourselves to feel calmer and more confident over time.

In this episode, I share the framework which I have used to help many clients overcome anxious thinking patterns, to live more freely, feeling more calm, and confident. Along with the framework, we talk about techniques, all of which are quick, simple, and easy ways to calm your nervous system and begin proactively shaping more positive thinking patterns for yourself. Special thanks for much of what I've learned and shared here go to Melissa Tiers, whos training , and books like The Anti-Anxiety Toolkit have helped me enormously in my work helping clients with anxiety.

My indecision is your gain in this episode, as this hypnosis journey is completely open ended, for you to insert your own desired outcome. This process is based on a classic, time tested technique originally from the late, great Gerald Kein, and is something I actually teach my clients to use for their self-hypnosis practice.

If you're into personal growth, you've probably tried saying affirmations, and you probably didn't get the results you wanted, or perhaps you just quit before you got results. There are good reasons for that, and we're going to talk about how to improve the process of using affirmations in this episode, so you can begin using affirmations in ways that get you more closely aligned with your unconscious mind, to reduce the resistance that comes up.

In this episode, I (almost) contradict myself from the previous episode when I give an example of doing the opposite and having it actually work out really well. The point is that there are many ways to do things, to be, to accomplish our goals, and when we get so hung up on the one "right" way, we miss out on other things that might be better suited to our specific brain, way of being, and our specific goals in life. 

This hypnosis journey is all about embracing that, opening up to a sense of exploring what's possible, taking what works for us, and finding our own way when that works out best as well.

This week, we are taking one step forward at a time, day by day, and letting it add up over time, in order to take huge goals and changes, and turn them into bite sized, completely doable bits. Here are the 8 ideas we discuss: 

1) Make it something you can do daily! Keep up that regular chain, make it a pattern, and you won't have to do much each day to see progress. 
2) Identify your minimum possible action, something to keep you in the game, that you are able to accomplish even on your worst days. 
 3) Track your progress!
4) Be clear on what you actually want, not just what you don't want. Visualize the end goal, as though you are seeing yourself in a movie. 
5) Find your key leverage moments, both for applying action and tracking results.
6) Make sure you are focused on the aspects where you have some control.
7) Be willing to start small and be a beginner.
8) Get help when you need it, to get some momentum going to build your capacity.  

Apply these ideas to a goal or change you are ready to start taking steps forward on today.

In this episode, we go into hypnosis to access a greater level of personal power, or agency, in whatever way that you need it most. This basically means realizing you have access to more choices, more awareness of the ways in which old beliefs and perspectives have kept you stuck, and more capacity to see through and beyond those things into a version of reality where it is easier for you to have what you need, and feel the way you want to feel.

This week, we are going on a hypnosis journey together to shift perspective on our bodies, and to cultivate a greater appreciation for the natural variety that exists in different body shapes and sizes, as well as appreciating what our bodies are capable of, and what they help us to experience. 

Please use this hypnosis track at a time and place where you are safe to close your eyes and relax for a while, never while driving or other tasks that require attention for safety.

In this episode, I talk with Kelly Lewis about her experience working with hypnosis to transform her feelings about her body, and her ability to be more visible in her life and career. She shares a powerful and emotional experience she had in Bhutan, and how this deep place of true confidence now feels like it has always been there. It's my hope that hearing her story inspires you to feel better about yourself and the body you are living in as well.

In this episode, we use hypnosis to explore a common misperception about our capacity to change things in the future is much less than the amount of growth we have experienced in the past. Go on a hypnosis journey with me to experience how for you have come, and how far you will be able to go in the near future as well.

This episode is basically some helpful steps that I use to move through moments of feeling overwhelmed, rather than getting stuck in that negative place longer than I really need to. 

1. Actually feel your feelings, physically, like where do you feel that in your body? Thoughts ABOUT the feeling will pop in, but do your best to release them instead of engaging with them.
2. Once the physically feelings calm down, then we examine what these feelings are trying to tell us. Write a list of the tasks or thoughts that are overwhelming you, and get them out of your head and onto the page. 
3. Examine the items on the list, asking questions like  these:
   Is this expectation actually within my control?
   Does the really need to be done and what are the consequences if it does not get done? 
  Is this something that needs to be done now, or done by me?
   Is this thought actually true, and what evidence can I think of that it is NOT true? 
  Is this emotions really about my past patterns rather than actually happening right now in my life? 
4. Use tools like hypnosis, EFT tapping, and NLP submodality shifts to release stuck patterns that aren't serving you. 
5. Practice moments of mindful meditation throughout your day, just 30 seconds or a minute at a time, where you observe your thoughts, and let them come and go rather than engaging with them. When you notice yourself engaging again, just step back into observation mode each time. The noticing and bringing awareness back IS the practice, and not failure in this exercise.

The hypnosis session in this episode is inspired by an episode of the show Hoarders, which popped up in my youtube feed. We'll use the metaphor of cleaning out a house, taking all the old stuff, clearing space to live now, rather than letting all our old things rob of us the ability to move comfortably through our homes and through our lives, as a way for your unconscious mind to clear out some of the mental and emotional "clutter" we all carry. Let your imagination run wild, as you hunt through drawers, closets and cupboards, looking for whatever symbolic mental junk your unconscious mind is ready to help you clear up today. 

As this episode is a hypnosis journey, please listen in a time and place where you can get comfortable, close your eyes, and safely shut out the world for a little while.
