If you do the old same thing you get the same result…right?
Patterns of behavior or habits allow us to function and get things done. These patterns can be useful and positive or they can be negative and make us unhappy. All the people that I see in my hypnotherapy practice are running negative patterns or they have bad habits that they can't seem to shake.
Most people are afraid of changing their patterns behavior even though continuing with them makes them miserable. They stay in the same jobs, with the same partners doing the same things all the while whining and complaining how unfair life is, waiting for something to happen.
If you keep doing the same thing all the time you will surely get the same result!
When children are learning to walk they fall down, think about what went wrong, get up and try again until they find a way of walking that does work.
So why shouldn't we as adults do the same thing?
If you hate your job and it makes you miserable, look into changing it. If you are in a relationship that isn't working, find a way to salvage it or leave.
What ever it is that makes you unhappy do something different and observe what happens. If it works stick with it, if it doesn't, do something else until you find something that does work.
The most important thing to remember is that you can only control your actions. Don't expect everyone and everything around you to change just to make things easier for you.

Worry, anxiety and stress prevent a proper, restful night's sleep. Lack of sleep has been linked to a suppressed immune system, diabetes, heart attacks, weight gain and an increase chance of developing cancer.
Sleep is essential for our restoration, processing and filing of all the days information.
When we are tired we tend to be less creative, impulsive, more likely to make poor judgments and have worse memories.
Hypnotherapy is extremely effective for tackling sleep problems and is usually a byproduct of most of my client's issues.
If your worry, anxiety and stress are causing you sleepless nights give me a call in my Norwich office to see how using hypnosis can help with sleep problems can change your life or check out the page on sleep on my websie.
Control Panic attacks when a hypnotherapist is not on hand!
Here is a list I gave to one of my clients to help her cope with anxiety and panic with some CBT techniques. I hope it helps.
2. Practice 7/11 Breathing and focus on how great life is going to be when you are rid of this.
1. Remember anxiety goes round in a fixed cycle, it is not random.
Recognize when the thought pops up and when the feeling starts.
2. If you feel dizzy it is because you are chest breathing and you are tensing your neck and shoulder muscles. You are not ill and you will not faint.
After the event evaluate what happened and learn from it.
Were you in any real danger? No It is a TRICK!
END AVOIDANCE, IT WILL PASS AND YOU WILL BE FREE!
Only you can do this! nobody else. Be brave, plan ahead and stick to the plan!
Short term gain and avoidance does not work, concentrate on long term freedom.
A great way to control anxiety if it rears its ugly head is a technique called seven/eleven breathing. When we feel anxious we start to breath much faster than normal and often only using the top of our lungs reducing our oxygen intake. The seven/eleven technique, once mastered can control anxiety and reduce stress very quickly.
You need to practice this technique first but don't worry, it really does not take long to master.
Firstly place your hand on your abdomen and breathe in. Your hand should be pushed out as your lungs expand. Notice your hand retreating back as you exhale. When you do this correctly you will be filling your lungs with that energy giving oxygen naturally calming you and increasing the oxygen supply to your brain.
Now as you breathe in count to seven, hold for two and exhale for a count of eleven. Now the speed of the count depends on you so count as fast or as slow as is comfortable for you.
This technique is also great for just relaxing so keep practicing the seven/eleven breathing technique so that it requires no thought to do.
The other nice thing about the seven/eleven breathing technique is that nobody can see us do it so we don't have to feel uncomfortable if we are out in public.
This is one of the best techniques to control anxiety but you must practice it first.
Remember you don't have to live with anxiety and panic, good hypnotists can take it away!
