Stop Worrying What Other People Think Of You

Can Comparing Yourself To Others Be Good For You?

The answer to this is a resounding “Yes” if you do this in the right way. What most people tend to do is compare themselves to others as some form of validation for themselves or because of envy or some other negative emotion.

The secret to comparing yourself to others for your benefit is to do it on the premise that you want to improve yourself. You want to achieve a specific goal and another person has already achieved this goal so you can learn from them and then use similar strategies in your own life.

You must have the right Intent

Having the right intent for comparing yourself to another person is critical. What we do not recommend you do is compare yourself to someone else that you know is not as good as you in a specific area so that you can give your ego a boost. Avoid this kind of “self validation”.

You may get a temporary ego boost from a self validation comparison but this can backfire on you very badly. If you don’t know the person that you are comparing to very well then you have no idea what they are capable of. If you challenge them and they end up being better than you at your specialty then this can destroy your self esteem.

Think about why you want to make the comparison. Let’s say that you want to be a successful business manager and there is a manager in your office who always seems to make the right decisions and has the level of confidence that you want to achieve.

You want to find out how they got to their position and how they maintain their confidence. This is specific intent and you are in the right frame of mind to make the comparison. You are not jealous that this person is a manager and you are not. It is all about learning from the person so that you can improve your life.

Consume other relevant information

The person in your office is not the only good business manager out there. Many have written books and some have their own blog. These days it is easier than it ever has been before to get the information that you need.

Once you have decided that you want to be a top notch business manager consume everything that you can about the subject and keep looking for new material. Modeling the business manager you know is a good step forward but you can always do more.

If you are not a fan of reading then go to YouTube and find relevant videos there. You will be sure to find what you are looking for. Also look for forums on your subject and join them and participate. Ask questions and most people will be happy to help.

Be careful of your Self View

You have a view about yourself that you formed over many years. This self view tells you that you things like you are smart, good looking, talented and so on. We all need this self view because it defines how you see the world around you and helps you to figure everything out.

The problem is that if you believe something in your self view and something challenges this then there is conflict. So if you believe that you know a lot about business and someone tells you that you need to learn more about business then this is difficult to take. Relax your self view and take on board any constructive criticisms.

Deepen Your Relationships and Enjoy Emotional Connection

relationships.png with kimberley stapleton mind body soul spirit

Feel more comfortable letting others in with the help of a relaxing Hypnotherapy session

Do you find it difficult to let your guard down in relationships?

Are you always playing it safe and not letting people know the real you?

Perhaps you've been hurt by betrayals of trust in the past. Or maybe childhood experiences taught you to keep an emotional distance from others.

And you might even just be looking to improve the strength of your current relationships.

Because us humans have a primal need for emotional connection with others.

We are a social species. And without that connection, we can end up feeling:

  • Lonely

  • Unfulfilled

  • As though something is missing.

And those feelings are our body's way of telling us when our needs are not being met, so that we can take action to rectify the situation.

Risks and rewards

And if you have trouble letting your guard down, it can be helpful to remember that you don't have to let someone in straight away.

You can take your time, moving at your own pace, getting to know them and building up that trust.

And it can be scary to let someone in. But you can do it in a way that allows you to remain in control of your emotions.

And you'll find that the more you allow that relationship to deepen, the more that relationship will nourish you, helping you meet those needs that make us human.

So that you can enjoy feeling understood and accepted by others at a deep level.

Practice makes perfect

So, how do you actually go about deepening your relationships?

Well the good news is that it is entirely possible, with a bit of practice and a willingness to be open and connected to another person.

Increase your comfort levels with hypnotherapy

  • Feel more relaxed during interactions

  • Feel more open and warm towards others

  • Are better able to spontaneously get to know others and ask the right questions.

Dealing with a Nervous Breakdown

nervous breakdown.png with kimberley stapleton mind body soul spirit

Deep relaxation can ease your stressed brain and give you back a sense of control and perspective

If you feel close to having a nervous breakdown right now you are probably feeling like you have hit rock bottom.

Many people who are close to a nervous breakdown feel a million miles from their real self.

Feelings of anger, negativity, exhaustion and anxiety are probably overwhelming you and your ability to lead a 'normal' life and have 'normal' relationships is no doubt proving tough.

The right approach can help quickly

Nervous breakdowns tend to happen due to a demanding lifestyle, stress, or as a result of dealing with trauma. Stress and anxiety can often lead to depression and feelings of being unable to cope.

You may feel at the moment that everything is a struggle and there is nothing positive in your life. However, treating a breakdown in the right way will allow you to come out the 'other side' of this an even better person.

Here's how I can help you…..

Relaxation is the key to recovery

Stopping for a while and taking time to relax when you feel things are getting too much will gradually allow your body and mind to start to feel refreshed and re-energized again. Regular relaxation will also help 'reset' your sleeping patterns which will help reduce your stress levels greatly.

A Hypnotherapy session will quickly make you feel calmer and happier, getting you back to the 'real you'. Being relaxed and knowing how to cope with stress and challenging situations will allow you to approach the future in a calmer and more confident way.

Getting back to the 'real' you

You can just imagine yourself now with the feeling of this renewed energy and confidence. With this, you will begin to enjoy those little things in life such as meeting up with a friend for a coffee, going shopping or spending time with your family; just like you used to.

When you feel more relaxed you will also be able to put up boundaries and set yourself limits so you don't have to deal with a breakdown again. As you start to feel calmer, things you currently find difficult to do will slowly become easier.

Just remember that right now you have just gone off track slightly and you just need to stop for a while to return back to the 'real you'. With this rest and revitalisation you will begin to see a brighter future.

Awaken Your True Calling

6 Tips for Finding Your True Passion in Life

 There comes the point in everyone's life when they feel the intense urge to find your passion. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to see, and many of us become frustrated because we aren't where we genuinely want to be in our lives. If you feel frustrated by not being able to find your passion, here are seven useful tips to help you figure out your passion.

 Do Many Things

While it may feel a bit overwhelming to have a lot of interests, it is one of the most crucial steps to figuring things out. It is much better to have a lot of options and interests than none at all. Make a list of everything that you are interested in and focus on two to start. If you realize it’s not what you thought, scratch it off the list and move on.

 Stay True to Yourself

Stop doing what you hate just because you’ve already invested time and money into the pursuit. The secret to getting unstuck is to take the steps toward doing what you love. Don’t feel you have to be confined to a box and stop worrying about being defined by a single thing.

 Focus On Yourself

You can’t continue to compare your beginnings to someone else’s middle. You will never find your true passion in life if you are always watching and comparing your journey to the life of those around you. Focus on you and where you are in your journey and stop worrying about everyone else around you.

 Let Go of Fear

Fear will convince you to pass up opportunities because you can’t see past taking the first step. For you to find your passion, you will need to make big leaps of faith. Let go of that fear and dive in head first.

 Be Still

We tend to get confused with all the ideas, thoughts, and emotions that are swarming through our minds, leaving us to become frustrated because we can't see to figure our life out. Sometimes, we need just to do nothing to realize that what we are passionate about has been in front of us the entire time.

 Forget About the Money

Money shouldn't be the determining factor in what you do with your life. When you bring money into the equation, you will always end up doing something that you're not passionate about. When you are genuinely excited about something, you'll figure out how to make a living from it.

 Finding your true passion in life will take time. However, by following these six tips, you will find your passion before you know it.

You Can Do It

5 tips for better goal setting

 

We all have certain goals that we would like to achieve at different stages in our lives. However, not all of us are able to meet them.  Though we know what our goals are, we can’t bring ourselves to achieve them most of the times, because there is many a slip between the cup and the lip. More often than not, the reason for not meeting our goals is not setting a pre-defined path for the same. Here are five tips that we can all follow to set ourselves better goals and work towards achieving them within the specified timeframe.

1.      Choose goals that are valuable to you

Never set a goal because your friend or parent asked you to do so. You should always set goals that help you improve personally and professionally. Will I become a better human being when I achieve this goal? How will it improve my overall personality development? Will this goal help me in finding my core competency? These are some of the questions that you should think about when setting a goal, to be assured of 100% success while achieving them. When you set goals that add value to your lives and motivate you, you are more likely to work towards achieving them.

2.      Use the SMART method

Mostly, there is ambiguity in your minds while setting goals and achieving them, because you didn’t care enough for the small details. This is why following the SMART system is very important while setting goals. Specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound goals need to be set, irrespective of whether they are meant for personal or professional development. By following this technique, you are giving a defined structure to your goals and making them accurate, so that it becomes easy to achieve them.

3.      One step at a time

While it is important to focus on the big picture when setting goals, it is equally important to travel this path one step at a time. When you have a huge goal staring at you with a specified time-frame hanging over it, it may look all too daunting and intimidating for you. So, all you need to do is to break down the big goal into several smaller goals, so that it helps you concentrate more and  pursue each goal with ease and confidence.

4.      Write down your goals

It may seem to be a simple tip, but it helps! Write down all your goals with their time-frame on a chart paper and pin it in your room, so that you are constantly reminded of your goals, your progress and your path that is yet to be travelled. Writing down your priorities on a daily basis will also help you in managing your time effectively as you can only focus on those tasks that are important.

5.      Don’t be too hard on yourself

Setting goals and achieving them with 100% success rate is no mean task! You may not achieve 100% success in your first goal; however, you should never give up. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Give yourself a back-pat and carry on with your next attempt with renewed focus and lots of takeaways from your first attempt. After all, life is a journey that deserves to be enjoyed, isn’t it?

What the Heck is the Law of Attraction?

law of attraction mind body soul spirit

You may have heard about the Law of Attraction, but you may not know exactly what it is. In essence, it is a philosophy that suggests that you can bring positive or negative experiences into your life simply by focusing on positive or negative thoughts. Basically, it is a universal law that says you will attract such experiences based on your overall mindset, whether it is positive or negative. The Law of Attraction is part of the New Thought Movement, and it can be practiced greatly by focusing on your own thoughts and attitudes.

The Law of Attraction states that you will experience things based on your predominant mental attitude. This means that you if you think positively and encourage uplifting, optimistic thought, you are more likely to have a positive experience in life. On the other hand, if you focus on negative thoughts and ideas, bad things will be attracted to you and you will suffer from the pain that comes along with them. Your subconscious mind can actually control the way that things happen to you, so it is important to think positively if you hope to have a happy and healthy life.  

Negative emotions such as worry, fear, and stress can have a negative bearing on your physical and mental health. When you allow these things to take over your mind, you are creating a negative energy that attracts more negative situations. You might find yourself in dangerous situations when you think negatively, or you may be more susceptible to injury and disease when you don’t allow positive thoughts to permeate your being.

The Law of Attraction also states that you will experience more financial success if you focus on positive thoughts. If you tell yourself that you will be highly successful, you are more likely to carry out the tasks and receive higher paying jobs in the future.

You can ensure that your successes are more frequent and lucrative when you focus on being financially successful. Thinking negative thoughts may bring concepts that ultimately end with you losing money, so it’s important to remain positive and look towards financial success rather than dwell on failures.

The Law of Attraction is important when it comes to relationships as well. When you visualize another person based on their positive attributes, you are more likely to get along with them and benefit from a strong relationship.

If you remain positive around other people, they will think positively of you and will be more likely to become your friend. This can also work with romantic relationships.

Visualizing a positive atmosphere and creating an optimistic view of the person that you are pursuing can play a strong role in harboring a successful romantic relationship.

As you remain positive, you will gain more confidence and be better able to attract the people that you are looking to attract. Just as good situations will find you if you are positive, so will great partners in the future.

How to Improve Your Mood Quickly

improve-mood.jpg with kimberley stapleton mind body soul spirit

Why Hypnotherapy can help you step out of bad moods rapidly

Whether you're grumpy, annoyed or feeling low, trying to make yourself feel better (in the wrong way) can be counter-productive.

Many people try to improve their mood by striving to figure out why they feel bad. As you may have noticed, this is a dead-end strategy because you just end up ruminating on what's making you feel bad.

How hypnotherapy can help improve your mood

The trick to improving your mood quickly is to work directly on changing your emotional state. Which sounds obvious, but it's easier said than done.

Which is where hypnotherapy comes in. Because hypnosis enables you to take deliberate control of your attention, and at the same time deeply relaxes you, it's perfect for changing your mood.

A Hypnotherapy session will first relax you deeply, then move your mind and body into a different state, where your emotions and hormonal balance will help you feel better.

It will enable your unconscious mind to bring forth a new, more relaxed, more upbeat emotion. You will enjoy deep, peaceful relaxation, and experience the old mood drifting away from you. You will get a refreshing break, and gain perspective on whatever was making you feel bad.

It is well known that laughter releases endorphins in the brain, nature's 'feel good' chemicals. The power of hypnosis will help you feel so much better, so quickly. Plus, you will learn practical information about what does and doesn't work to improve your mood.

5 Reasons To Not Let Depression Control You Anymore!

depression.png with kimberley stapleton mind body soul spirit

Family – It can be very vexing to loved one’s when you are depressed. On one hand they want nothing but the best for you, but on the other they sometimes get frustrated and wonder why you can’t simply snap out of it. It can be particularly hard on children of someone with depression as it may affect their outlook on life for many years to come. Having experienced this myself, I can say definitely this the number one reason to fight your depression.

Work - Work life generally suffers when in the throws of depression. It is more difficult to concentrate and not as easy to create and maintain good professional working relationships and partnerships. Furthermore, it makes being a “Self-starter” more unlikely. Rather than moving forward, maintaining the status-quo becomes more acceptable, even if only unconsciously.

Love – The love life of a person with depression can suffer tremendously. Regardless of How much someone may profess their dedication to another person, if the other person can never see the bright side, it can wear on them. Life is short, right? Love conquers A WHOLE LOT, but it doesn’t conquer everything. Sometimes we must add internal fortitude to love to truly be invincible. Besides isn’t it better to fight, not just for you, but for this person that you love as well?

Health – University studies have proven that people who are depressed are more likely to get sick, and more likely to die of an illness than those who are content. It is in your benefit, health wise, to fight your depression as well. A recent New York Times article, citing a University study, indicated that persons who have been diagnosed as depressed have more hospital visits, and a shorter lifespan.

Prosperity – The depressed person sometimes lacks clarity of thought, and may miss golden opportunities to improve their lives if only they had been paying attention. This may be, perhaps, the most important point, since many people believe they would be happier if only this part of their life, or that part of their life, etc was different. Allowing good things to happen in your life might just give you the jump start needed to end the cycle of depression and self imposed-isolation( even if only figuratively ).

Fighting depression can help your life in many ways. In some ways, the fight in itself is also a reward. You become stronger, do better at work, have better relationships, and can focus on what is really important in life so that you can improve it, for yourself, your family, friends, and loved ones.

Stuck in a rut? Time to get out!

stuck in a rut.png with kimberley stapleton mind body soul spirit

Hypnotherapy can help you change your life

Has your life got stuck in a rut that you feel you'll never get out of?

Are you sick and tired of the same old same old?

Routine and predictability have their merits, of course. We wouldn't feel particularly comfortable or happy living in a state of chaos where you never knew what was going to happen, or what you should be doing. So we do devote a substantial part of our energies to working out how to set up our lives so that we have some level of control and can plan ahead.

Indeed, many people draw immense satisfaction from getting their lives to conform as closely as possible to their particular notion of how life 'should be'. And it's also the case that some of us need and want a lot more routine in our lives than others.

But there can come a point when our quest for control, and predictability, turns from being a barrier keeping chaos out to being more like a prison keeping us locked in, wondering if we'll ever get parole. You can have too much predictability. Too much of doing the same things over and over. Seeing the same people over and over. Nothing new to stimulate and challenge you.

Why getting out of a rut can feel so hard

The trouble is, even when this realisation dawns on you, it's not exactly an easy thing to change! It's human nature to get used to things. We may no longer get much joy out of our surroundings, or our activities, but they're comfortable, we know how to deal with them, almost without thinking. Change requires effort. Not only that, but you can't guarantee the result. And that thought can be very daunting.

So how do you get over the inertia that prevents action and put the spark back in your life?

Hypnotherapy is a powerful way to bring about change

As you relax and listen in your Hypnotherapy session

  • a subtle yet powerful change will be taking place deep within you

  • you begin to look at your life with very different eyes

  • you start to notice more ways in which things really could be different

  • you set about experimenting with what will work for you

  • your life takes on a new sense of meaningful, purposeful excitement
