We all experience self-doubt at times. Maybe you have a project you’d like to start, a major event you want to attend, a job application you want to make or an opportunity for a more senior role at work.

But how does visualising our goals help us progress towards them?

Read MoreGratitude practice is a form of reflection where we show thanks and appreciation for the people, places and things in our life that uplift us. Gratitude is a positive and warming emotion which in turn can have many benefits to our mental wellbeing. With the pressures and continuous tasks that the modern world places upon us, it is very easy to power through life without taking a moment to notice and appreciate what we have. We can spend huge amounts of energy on finding that bigger job, chasing that better salary, striving for a bigger social media following, but how would we feel if we just stopped for a minute? Stopped to take a moment to focus on the things that we already have in our life that are wonderful.

Read MoreWe often think of perfectionists as being highly organised, on it and thorough. In reality, perfectionism is less about striving to do everything perfectly and more about avoiding doing things imperfectly. This can mean avoiding tasks and situations entirely or withholding effort when we’re not certain we will do well. This is why someone may not realise they are affected by perfectionism because it’s so different to the traditional image a lot of us have.

Read MoreWe’re often led to believe that all anxiety is unwanted and unwarranted, but in fact, some anxiety is normal - even healthy at times. Anxiety is a natural response to danger or stress, but when it becomes all-consuming or interferes with our ability to live the life we want, we need to take action.
Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool to help you deal with anxiety that’s causing you to struggle in your daily life. In this article, we’ll go a little deeper into where anxiety originates from and why hypnosis is so effective in helping you manage it.
