Stress Management -Your goals, or lack of goals, can also be bad for your health.

Stress Management

In a time when we need to give our health all the help we can, we need to identify the sources of our stress and take action to prevent or at least reduce, its effects.  We need to remember that when we are under chronic stress, we can only plan in the short term.

When addressing the problem of stress, writers tend to emphasise the exposure to too much stress without regard to exposure to too little stress!

 A lack of goals can have an equally distressing effect on psychological health and biological health.  Having no goals can produce as much stress as having too many.  Similarly, no ambition can lead to illness as quickly as too much ambition.

Often, psychological and physical illness reflects unresolved problems within the person.  Relationship problems are mainly between people, with their mind, body and the environment in which they find themselves playing a secondary role.  This is not to say that the last three cannot affect the individual – they obviously can, but the power for good health, both psychologically and physiologically, lies ultimately within the person.

For example, who can deny the health benefits of being in love?  The eyes are clear, the complexion glows!  These are biological effects, caused by the release of noradrenaline hormone, due to changes in the person’s perception, producing changes in brain chemistry and thus body chemistry.

It is also true that those in love get sick less often.  If they do, they recover more quickly. 

Alas, the loss of love to a rival or death can have the reverse effect.  The immune system is boosted with a positive outlook to life.  Similarly, the adoration given the famous by the masses boosts self esteem and can promote good health by stimulating the immune system. 

Research has shown that stress has a direct effect on the immune system.  Indeed, recent studies have shown that extended stress can inhibit the immune system’s response to certain infections, leading to a greater frequency and severity of disease.

Malfunction – illness – can be subjective (self) or objective (society).

An individual may be functioning normally from their viewpoint, but socially, or another member of that society, could regard the individual as malfunctioning or as being ill – or even a political or criminal threat!

Stress can cloud our thinking, and therefore our decision making and our judgement, which can also have an adverse affect on our health.  People often attempt to reduce their stress levels by increased use of alcohol and other drugs or by sex.

Stress Management is about the individual controlling, or disconnecting from, the strain created by others or individuals representing society.  It is also about resolving existing goals or discovering new goals within oneself.

As a stress management consultant, I represent the interests of my clients, not society.  Society is more often represented by priests, politicians, psychologists, doctors, family or social workers and sometimes the police.  These are often well meaning individuals – more rarely uncaring individuals – but they can be bad for your health!  Your goals, or lack of goals, can also be bad for your health.

These notes are mainly directed towards adults who have survived childhood and are not meant to minimise the responsibilities of parents, carers or teachers in their role or responsibilities for the young.  The young can also create excess stress on adults – especially if parenting or teaching adopts unrealistically liberal theories!

All life forms react to stress, as do non life forms such as rocks or the planet itself.

Overcome Insecurity in Your Relationships

Overcome Insecurity in Your Relationships

How to use hypnosis to conquer your fears so you can enjoy your life together

Is your insecurity in relationships threatening to ruin a specific relationship?

Does your fear it will all go wrong lead you to sabotage your chances?

Why relationship insecurity is so painful

Relationships are the most important thing for most people, so it's no surprise that we feel a certain amount of anxiety when we suspect that a relationship is under threat, or when we can't bring ourselves to really believe that this other person truly loves us.

Of course, no relationship is completely trouble free. There will be arguments, there will be stresses and pressures, there will be tough times. But you hope that a well-founded relationship will be strong enough to carry you through such tests.

Past history can contribute to relationship insecurity

The trouble is, sometimes, perhaps because of previous bad experiences you've had, the level of anxiety you feel about your relationship can get so high that the anxiety itself starts to generate problems.

It becomes a cause of trouble rather than a consequence of trouble. And then you really are in trouble, caught in a spiral of painful emotion that leads you to interpret every single thing as a sign that the end is nigh.

Even if it isn't.

How can you calm down your fears so that you can relax with your partner and roll with life's challenges together?

How hypnosis can help you feel more secure

The emotions that drive that feeling of insecurity come from your unconscious mind. In other words, you don't decide to feel that way.

And so, to address them, we need to work directly with the unconscious, which is where hypnosis comes in.

You'll experience profound changes taking place within you. In particular, you'll notice that:

  • you can 'step back' and see the relationship as a whole

  • you feel less need to control everything about the relationship

  • you focus more on the positive aspects

  • you can cope more easily with the ups and downs

  • you relax and enjoy yourself much more with your partner.

    The 5 most common signs of insecurity in relationships:

    1. Irrational jealousy

    2. Obsessive thoughts

    3. Fear of being rejected or abandoned

    4. Lack of trust

    5. Extreme clinginess or neediness.

    No one wants to feel this way. You're perfectly aware of how difficult your actions are for your partner to deal with. You'd love to be able to calm down and enjoy time with them, but that's easier said than done.

    How will the 10 Steps to Overcoming Insecurity in Relationships course make me feel better?

    Your insecurity is driven by behavior patterns, something you learned as the result of a hurtful past relationship or even from childhood experiences. Over time, this behavior has become ingrained.

    Your unconscious mind needs to be reassured and updated with calmer, more adult ways of interacting in relationships instead of falling back on old patterns.

Fight Cancer With These 10 Foods

More than a third of all #cancers could be prevented by changes in diet and exercise. One of the most important things you can do to reduce your risk is lose excess weight - and one of the best ways to lose weight is through a filling, fiber rich diet including plenty of fruits and vegetables.

"Diets rich in fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk of some types of cancer and other chronic diseases." National Cancer Institute

These foods are packed with antioxidants and other compounds that protect your DNA and fight free radical damage. Since these substances work synergistic-ally, it's best to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables rather than relying on one particular produce item to serve as a magic bullet against disease. That said, recent studies have uncovered specific benefits in the following foods that would recommend making them a part of any healthy diet

1. Tomatoes:

#Lycopene, also found in watermelon and pink grapefruit, has been linked to lower risk of #prostate, #ovarian and #cervical cancer. It also targets the free radical that is implicated in lung and digestive cancers

Can Acupuncture Help You Lose Weight?

In recent years, more and more people are trying out #acupuncture to lose #weight. Just what is acupuncture? How can acupuncture treatment help you lose weight?

acupuncture-for-weight-loss-yoga.jpg

Acupuncture is a branch of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and has been around for about 5,000 years. It is the practice of inserting very thin needles to stimulate pathways or meridians in the body to treat many illnesses and diseases especially to relieve pain from chronic disorders.

Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners or TCM physicians claim that #acupuncture can help you to lose body fat by making you feel full and so will eat less. This curbs excess caloric consumption in the patient treated with acupuncture and is a great help in the patient’s weight loss program.

Acupuncture treatment can also be used to raise your metabolic rate and help you to burn more calories to speed up weight loss.

Some Chinese medicine practitioners say that acupuncture stimulates the production of a hormone called endorphins and this hormone helps to lower body fat, insulin and lipid levels in the bloodstream thus less insulin is converted into body fat.

Acupuncture is not a miracle cure for obesity.

TCM physicians often stress that to achieve good weight loss results from your program and maintaining your weight, acupuncture treatment alone is not enough.

To lose weight effectively and keep the fats off permanently, acupuncture treatment must be combined with #healthy eating habits and regular #exercises.

Before you begin your acupuncture treatment, your Chinese physician will conduct a medical examination on you by checking your pulse and examination of your tongue to ensure that you are suitable for acupuncture weight loss treatment.

This is because TCM is a holistic branch of health care and does not just specifically target ailment or medical complaint.

So an investigation into other reasons why a patient is obese is necessary to solve the problem holistically.

If you want to lose weight naturally and without drugs, why not try TCM acupuncture for your weight loss program?

7 Reasons Why You Should Be Using Coconut Oil

coconut oil benfits and why you should be using it1.jpeg

1. Coconut oil doesn't turn to fat in your body.

Unlike many other common oils, like soy (vegetable) and corn, #coconut oil won't make you fat.

Coconut oil contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), which are an easy fuel for the body to burn, without turning to fat. Most other cooking oils and fats contain long-chain triglycerides (LCT). LCT's are usually stored as fat. Since coconut oil is a MCT, it is more easily absorbed and converted to energy quicker.

People in the tropics have relied on coconuts as a traditional staple in their diet for centuries. They consume large amounts of coconut oil every day. Instead of getting fatter, it helps them stay #healthy, #lean and trim. When they switch from coconut oil to our modern oils, they develop obesity and the health problems that our modern society faces.

"Some other people who have known this truth for a long time are people who are in the animal feed business. When livestock are fed vegetable oils, they put on weight and produce more fatty meat. When they are fed coconut oil, they become very lean"

2. Coconut oil increases your metabolism.

Not only does coconut oil convert to energy quicker in your body, it increases your #metabolism, which promotes #weight loss.

Because it boosts your metabolism, it helps your body burn fat more effectively. Coconut oil may triple your calorie burn.

Since coconut oil is a MCT, it is converted to energy so quickly that it creates a lot of heat.

In a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, MCT's burn three times more calories for six hours after a meal than LCT's.

The February 15, 2005 issue of Woman's World magazine stated that coconut oil is the "underground high-metabolism secret." This is great news for people who have thyroid problems, since coconut oil improves sluggish thyroids by stimulating the production of extra thyroid hormones.

Most other common oils, like vegetable (soy) and corn have been shown to inhibit thyroid function.

3. Coconut oil has omega 3 fatty acids.

Most cooking oils contain omega 6 fatty acids, something we get way too much of

Our omega 6 to omega 3 ratio should be 1:1 but it is more like 50:1. We need to drastically cut back our omega 6 oils and consume much more omega 3 oils to be healthy. And coconut oil is lled with these healthy omega 3 fatty acids..

4. Coconut oil gives you energy.

Because of the healthy omega 3 fatty acids and the fact that it increases the metabolism, most people that switch to coconut oil feel a burst of added energy in their daily life.

This is because coconut oil is nature’s richest source of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT's), which increase metabolic rates and lead to weight loss.

MCT's promote thermogenesis, which increases the body's metabolism, producing energy. Many people with #chronic fatigue syndrome and #fibromyalgia have found that adding coconut and coconut oil to their diet was helpful to them.

5. One of the best things you can use on your skin and hair is coconut oil.

Coconut oil is one of the best things you can apply directly on your skin and hair.

It gives temporary relief to skin problems like rashes.

It aids in healing and restoring #skin to a #younger appearance.

It has also been known to help with people who suffer from #yeast infections in the skin, as well as many other skin problems.

Not only does it soften and smooth your skin, coconut oil has #antioxidant properties that protect the skin from free radical damage.

Coconut oil makes excellent #massage oil too.

6. Coconut oil has healthy benefits that most other oils do not.

Evidence is mounting that coconut oil has #anti-fungal, #antibacterial and #antiviral effects when both consumed and used topically on the skin.

Most oils oxidize and turn rancid very quickly causing free radical damage in our bodies.

Coconut oil is not easily oxidized and does not cause harmful free radical damage like polyunsaturated vegetable oils.

Free radical damage is thought to be responsible for many ailments in our body from arthritis to increased susceptibility to cancers. Coconut oil also helps our bodies absorb other nutrients more effectively, such as Vitamin E.

7. Coconut oil is one of the best oils you can use for #cooking.

It has a higher smoke point than olive oil, which means it can take higher temperatures better.

There are several healthy omega 3 oils we can choose to consume, such as ax and olive oil, but they don't do well under the high heat we use for cooking.

Coconut oil can be used in higher cooking temperatures. It is harder for coconut oil to go rancid, unlike other cooking oils, which are usually rancid long before you even bring them home. Rancid oils cause free radical damage in the body, which is a leading cause of #cancer. Coconut oil is stable for over a year at room temperature.

benefits that coconut oil has given the people of the tropics for centuries.

But now it has been rediscovered! Coconut oil is so effective, it won't be long before we see coconut oil supplements promoted, but you can get the jump on the popular crowd and start consuming and cooking with coconut oil today!

Stress Busting foods to eat during isolation

10 stress busting foods to eat during isolation.png

When you’re stressed out, the foods that you’re turning to are most likely going to be traditional ‘comfort’ foods – think big meals, take-out, fatty foods, sweet foods, and alcohol.

Let’s face it – we’ve all found some comfort in a tasty meal and a bottle of beer or glass of wine when we’ve been stressed out or upset about something.

However, this isn’t a good permanent solution. When you’re turning to unhealthy foods you can feel better temporarily, but in the long run, you will feel worse. When your body isn’t getting the right nutrition, you can begin to feel less energetic, more lethargic, and in some cases less able to concentrate and focus. All of this can lead to even more stress.

Foods that Fight Stress

If you’ve been feeling more stressed out than usual lately, it’s important to know which foods are best to choose and which to avoid when it comes to combating stress and helping you to deal with feelings of stress and anxiety.

The best way to fight stress is to have a healthy, balanced diet which includes a moderate amount of each of the different food groups.

Filling up on foods such as whole grains, leafy vegetables, and lean proteins as the basic staples of the diet is the best way to ensure that your body gets the optimum amounts of nutrients to fight both physical and mental health problems. When it comes to choosing the foods to eat, some have a range of great properties which help the body to combat stress. Choosing these stress-busting foods will help to heal and calm your mind permanently, rather than providing a temporary fix.

Some of the best stress-fighting foods include:

Avocado – Avocados are a creamy and versatile fruit which can be eaten in a range of different ways whether you enjoy it raw, made into sauces, dressings and dips, or in a smoothie. These nutrient-dense fruits have the properties to stress-proof your body, thanks to their high glutathione content which specifically blocks the intestinal absorption of certain fats which cause oxidation damage. Avocados also contain higher levels of vitamin E, folate, and beta-carotene than any other fruit, which boosts their stress-busting properties.

However, be careful with portion control when eating avocado, as it is high in fat

.

Blueberries – If you’re feeling stressed out and reaching for the snacks, swapping chocolate or chips for one of the best super-foods is a great way to help you deal with your stress levels and achieve a higher level of calm. Blueberries have some of the highest levels of antioxidants, especially anthocyanin, which means that this berry has been linked to a wide range of health benefits including sharper cognition, better focus, and a clearer mind – all of which can help you to better deal with stress.

Chamomile Tea – Of course, it’s not all about what you’re eating when it comes to managing stress; what you’re drinking can also alleviate or worsen the stress you're feeling. Drinking liquids which are high in sugars and caffeine, such as coffee, energy drinks or soda, can actually increase your stress levels if consumed regularly.

Chamomile tea has long been used as a natural bedtime soother, and it has also been used in clinical trials, which determined that chamomile tea is effective in reducing the symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder.

Chocolate – Although it’s usually seen as an unhealthy treat, there is an undeniable link between chocolate and our mood.

Studies have shown that eating chocolate can actually make you happier. However, that doesn’t mean that you can start munching on chocolate bars every time you're stressed out – chocolate works best as a de-stressor when eaten in moderation and as part of a healthy and balanced diet. Dark chocolate in particular is best for you, as it contains more favonols and polyphenols, two hugely important antioxidants which can help combat stress, more than many fruit juices.

Beef – Grass-fed beef is not only kinder to the planet and to animals, it’s also good for people, too. Grass-fed beef has a huge range of antioxidants, including beta-carotene and Vitamins C and E, which can help your body to which can help your body to fight stress and anxiety. If you’re looking for more reasons to spend a little more money on organic, grass-fed beef, it’s also lower in fat than grain-fed beef whilst being higher in omega-3.

Oatmeal – Oatmeal is great in that it can be a filling comfort food, but also has a large number of healthy properties to actually make you feel better from the inside out. A complex carbohydrate, eating oatmeal causes your brain to produce higher levels of the feel-good chemical serotonin, helping you to feel calmer and less stressed. Studies have shown that kids who choose oatmeal for breakfast tend to be much sharper throughout the morning in school compared to kids who had alternative morning meals.

Walnuts – If you’re looking for a healthy snacking option which will help you to stay better in control of your stress levels, walnuts are a great choice. There is no denying the sweet, pleasant flavor of walnuts and they can be a tasty snack for in-between meals or as part of a desert. A versatile nut, walnuts are great for salads, or add them to a sweet treat such as coffee and walnut cake.

Pistachios – another food which is great for snacking on and can also help to combat stress and anxiety in the long term is pistachios. Studies have found that simply eating two small, snack-size portions of pistachios per day can lower vascular constriction when you are stressed, putting less pressure on your heart by further dilating your arteries. Along with this, the rhythmic, repetitive act of shelling pistachios can actually be quite therapeutic!

Green Leafy Vegetables – leafy, green vegetables should be a pivotal part of anyone’s diet. Along with helping to combat stress, leafy greens are full of nutrients and antioxidants which help to fight off disease and leave your body feeling healthier and more energized. Dark leafy greens, for example spinach, are especially good for you since they are rich in folate , which helps your body to produce more mood-regulating neurotransmitters such as serotonin, which is a ‘feel-good’ chemical. Making leafy greens a part of your diet will help you to feel happier and less stressed out overall.

Fermented foods – last but not least, eating fermented foods such as yogurt can help to keep your gut healthy, which actually in turn will help to improve your mental health and reduce stress levels. The beneficial bacteria which are found in fermented foods such as yogurt actually have a direct effect on your brain chemistry and transmit positive mood and behavior regulating signals to your brain via the vagus nerve.

Putting Together Your Diet Plan

Planning your meals wisely is key to not only staying physically t and healthy, but also to staying mentally strong and being able to best manage your levels of stress. Knowing which foods to avoid and which are the best to reach for to snack on when you’re feeling worried and anxious is important to helping you get control over your emotions and fears.

When you’re feeling stressed, you may be tempted to reach for classic ‘comfort foods’ – usually foods which are laden with sugar, very starchy, or greasy. However, although these foods can make you feel momentarily better, they will actually make you feel worse in the long run.

Having stress-busting snacks such as fresh berries, dark chocolate, yogurt, walnuts or pistachios, or even a fruit smoothie with avocado and leafy greens in it can help you to feel better in both the short and long term when it comes to stress.

When it comes to combating and dealing with stress in the long run, it’s important to make sure that for the most part, you are eating a diet which is healthy and balanced. In order to stay on track, it’s a good idea to make a meal plan for your week and plan ahead to make sure that you have a good selection of these stress-busting foods in your kitchen to make meals and snacks from when you’re feeling like stress-eating.

Making sure that the majority of your meals include foods such as lean proteins and leafy green vegetables will not only make you feel healthier overall, but can improve your mental health and stress levels, too.

A good example of a healthy, stress-busting menu would be:

Breakfast: Oatmeal with berries or a fruit smoothie with avocado and berries Mid-morning snack: Natural yogurt with fruit or a handful of pistachio nuts

Lunch: A whole-grain pasta salad filled with plenty of leafy greens Afternoon snack: Dark chocolate

Dinner: Grass-fed beef with vegetables Before bed: Chamomile tea

Of course, you don’t need to stick to this menu – but it gives you a good idea! Remember to exercise good portion control when eating foods such as nuts, chocolate, yogurt or avocado! As the saying goes, you are what you eat – so make sure that first and foremost, you’re filling yourself up with foods which are good for your mental health.

Coronavirus Anxiety - How To Cope If You're Feeling Anxious

Coronavirus Anxiety Website Info_1_0.png

The Corona Virus has taken the world by storm due to its rapid spread. Though researchers are working day and night to find a cure, self-quarantine and social distancing are being implemented as the only preventive measures for the time being.

This isolation, sudden change in routine and the fear associated with this outbreak has had severe impacts on the lives of people, especially their mental health.

During this quarantine time, it is important to maintain a steady state of mind so we can all go through this period of distress without letting it get to our heads. Let’s take a look at a few strategies that can help us deal with the anxiety due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

1.  Limit your Media Intake

Many people have resorted to their digital devices more than ever due to this quarantine period. And nothing’s more trending on social media other than the coronavirus. Sitting home all day and doing nothing but watching the adversity caused by Covid-19 is going to make your anxiety spiral out of control.

There is also lots of misinformation going around on the internet, which will only increase your worries. So limit the time you spend watching such news and only get time to time updates from government or trusted news sources.

2.  Stay Connected

If used in the right way, social media can prove to be a great tool that can help us go through this epidemic. Stay in touch with your friends and loved ones. Also, see how this quarantine has given you a chance to be with your family and appreciate the relationships you have

Use this isolation period to acknowledge your family and increase your bonds with them. If you like playing videogames, try playing multiplayer with your friends online so you can still have a great time from the comfort of your home.

3.  Bring Variety Into your routine

Most of us are digital nomads and this quarantine has further reinforced our screen usage. Waking up and spending all your day on Netflix and social media can cause agitation, even burnout for many people.

Try to incorporate a variety of different tasks into your routine such as doing home workouts, reading books, occasional showers to maintain hygiene. Stay clean or even take part in cleaning your room and explore other aspects of your life that you’ve been meaning to work on.

4.  Utilize this time

See this as an opportunity to start working on the project you’ve been thinking about all this time. Try learning new skills in the meantime. Start reading books or take online courses to develop yourself.

Focus on the positives of this situation and how you’ve been indirectly given a chance. Use this opportunity to polish and maintain yourself.

5.  Don’t let the negativity overtake you

Try to stay occupied and not overthink this situation too much. Anticipate beforehand that you will experience some anxiety and depression due to an extended period of isolation and inactivity. You will go through some sort of life-dissatisfaction, and it’s normal.

Understand that the scientists are working day and night to develop a cure and, in many countries, this outbreak has been dealt with in an effective manner. China itself where it all started has recovered greatly from this epidemic and so will other countries with time.

6.  Get Online Therapy

One great news is that, even in this quarantine and social isolation, therapy is always available via the internet. We are always available with professional support and can assist you from the comfort of your homes and help you lift your worries.

You can also join our free group

The Takeaway

This quarantine period is for our safety and researchers from all over the world are working extensively to make sure it lifts soon. In the meantime, using the strategies above will help you keep your mental health in check and stay psychologically fit during these distressful times.

Why Hypnosis and Nutrition Work For Permanent Weight Loss

hypnosis and nutrition.jpeg

Why We use a mixture of Hypnosis and Nutrition to help you lose weight and keep it off

Hypnosis for weight loss sounds like a dichotomy to some people, because it sub verses everything that everyone has thought as the best way to shed weight.

What if I were to tell you that you could lose those inches off your waist just by relaxing and learning a little about good nutrition ?

Lose those extra kilos just by prompting your mind to increase the metabolism, and instructing it to curb binging and snacking?

You might even be feeling exasperated at this suggestion; because you spent hundreds of pounds trying to sweat it out in the gym; you are losing precious sleep over that early morning jog, and worse still you have been on a crash diet for the last two weeks only to find out that there is an easier and more effective way of getting back your curves!

Hypnosis for weight loss is not a stop gap method of losing weight, mind you; it is a way of changing your entire lifestyle.

Hypnosis for weight loss does not prescribe special diets or routine exercises directly, but instead helps in empowering you to make necessary lifestyle changes for the new you.

As is its nature, hypnotherapy for weight loss works on the power of positive suggestion. Through repeated sessions of self hypnosis you can train and educate your mind to automatically choose food which is healthy for you, as well as control over eating.

I have always mentioned that our little brain has more power than we can ever imagine, and that the subconscious is a veritable gold mine; the only problem is that most of us haven’t started digging yet.

The moment we start tapping into its potential, we will truly realize its powers. Remember that our subconscious can be trained into doing things that you want; and this training can be provided by regular self-hypnosis sessions.

Working on the principle of auto-feed, you will be able to train your mind to do anything…including slimming down.

The first step towards getting into shape through hypnosis is to understand what really the problem is. What is the root cause of your binging? Why can’t you help but reach out for dollops of ice-cream every time you are down?

Through the use of analytical hypnosis, we can figure out the underlying issue and then work the hypnotherapy sessions around it.

Yes, hypnosis for weight loss is customized depending upon the your situation. A therapist will need to understand what sends you gravitating towards food – is it low self confidence, self image, depression, reward eating, or comfort eating?

Based on the analysis, a suitable hypnosis routine can be worked out for you.

The second stage here is called suggestion therapy, where you will put the power of positive suggestion to good use. By suggesting to your subconscious what’s good for it and what isn’t you will be shaping your own future, which will definitely be leaner and fitter than your past.

Through making positive reinforcements about yourself and your eating habits to your mind you will be gently molding it to follow a healthier diet and better eating habits.

Hypnosis for weight loss is one of the easiest and most long lasting ways of losing weight and keeping it that way. So go ahead, try hypnotherapy and lose those kilos simply by relaxing!

Before You Give Up On Your 2020 Goals, Do This

I encourage you to take some time to consider the goals you’ve set for yourself in the past but have never achieved.

Ask yourself: WHY haven’t you achieved those goals? What has stopped you?

… And what steps can you take to ensure those same obstacles don’t stop you from achieving your goals in 2020?

Chances are the biggest obstacles are the ones that exist inside your own head.

I’m talking about the subconscious blocks that prevent you from showing up as your best self and getting the results you want in life.

You might not even be aware of these blocks – yet they negatively impact everything you think, do, and experience! If you’re ready to dissolve those blocks once and for all, join me for my powerful FREE training this month.

During BREAK FREE WITH Kimberley, I will take you through a process that will help you eliminate those blocks for good. Our first session is Monday, January 27th – and I would love to see you there!
