Enjoy The Little Things

by Dan Regan | Jan 24, 2015 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

Do you take the time to enjoy the little positive things in your life?

Too often you can get lost in focusing on only the big things – and you let all the good stuff that happens every day fall through the cracks of your life.

Maybe you tell yourself you’ll be happy when you earn this/have this/are free of this/own this etc and you forgo the enjoyment of the journey – and only to find when you get there you still don’t feel content.

So from today take the time to savour the little things.

Radiators and Results

by Dan Regan | Jan 19, 2015 | Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

As you go forward with your goals and dreams this year there will be plenty of people ready to knock you back, rain on your parade and tell you to stop wasting your time.

These people will drain you of your motivations, enthusiasm and joy.

And they may be doing it for good reason – maybe they want to protect you from wasting your time (in their opinion) or failing or falling flat on your face.

BUT…..

Danni ends her anxiety

by Dan Regan | Jan 19, 2015 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

Do you struggle with anxiety around appointments, particularly medical appointments?

Many people with anxiety find that as meetings and commitments approach, their anxiety levels rise. Some won’t sleep the night before an appointment and many others start worrying days before, the volume of their thoughts and intensity of their anxious feelings increasing the closer it gets.

Recently, I helped Danni to end her anxiety around appintments for the detnist, doctor and optician. Here’s what she had to say:

Worried what others think about you?

by Dan Regan | Jan 17, 2015 | Confidence and Self Esteem

Do you worry excessively about what others think about you?

Maybe you are scared of rejection or failing and so you put on a mask around others and feel anxious because you aren’t being yourself.

Worrying about what others think can drain your confidence and leave you feeling stuck, unhappy and avoiding doing or saying the things you really want to. You may worry about being criticised or messing up or freezing or in some other way giving people the opportunity to think badly about you.

Recently I was working with a client who would let others rule her life – she was too afraid to say no and be thought of badly or invite hostility – and so she put her own life on standby waiting to be called to help others live theirs.

And another person stayed in a job he hated that didn’t earn enough for him to live on because he felt he wasn’t good enough to move onto bigger and better things.

Get Instantly Motivated

by Dan Regan | Jan 17, 2015 | Dan's Blog, Hypnotherapy Hypnosis and NLP

Think like Rocky for instant motivation!

Do you ever find you need more motivation to get going and get it done? Ever wish you had the energy and drive to get up and take action?

If your house was on fire or you’d just won the lottery you’d soon be getting up and taking action! But as I hope your house is ok and the odds of winning the lottery are pretty small, here’s another way to tap into that inner motivation to get stuff done.

Calm Your Anxiety

by Dan Regan | Jan 17, 2015 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

Use this simple technique to quickly calm your anxiety.

When you feel anxious, the emotions can take over – you get all those anxious feelings and sensations and you probably just want to get out of that place to somewhere you can feel safe and calm down.

As well as those anxious feelings, you also get the anxious thoughts – people often describe it to me as a racing mind, or feeling overwhelmed or like they can’t think straight or concentrate.

It’s like there are two parts to your mind – the thinking part and the emotional, anxious part. When the anxiety increases, your ability to think clearly or rationally diminishes. You just can’t think straight like you do when you feel calm and relaxed.

Beating Social Anxiety

by Dan Regan | Jan 14, 2015 | Confidence and Self Esteem

Suffering with social anxiety can be a daily nightmare with meetings, parties and other events around others taking place all the time.

You probably worry about what others think about you and do all you can to avoid looking or sounding stupid or making an idiot of yourself in front of them. When around others you may feel on edge, anxious and worried. You may feel inferior in some way or not as good as others.

In extreme cases, you may structure your life to avoid any potentially anxious situations and so you avoid meetings, meeting new people, going out, presentations, dating or any other similar situations.

To combat the anxiety, here are 5 things you need to do:

The Two Step Anxiety Reducer

by Dan Regan | Jan 14, 2015 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

If your anxiety levels are sky high right now then follow these two steps to ease it down:

1) Close your eyes and sit comfortably. Put your hand on your stomach and with every in breath imagine inflating your stomach like a balloon. As you do this say that word ‘relax’ in your mind. Then with every out breath the balloon deflates again and you say ‘relaxed’ in your mind. Breathe in calmness and breath out and relax deeper (you can get your free rapid relaxation hypnosis MP3 to help with this – just enter your details on the right).

Too Much Head Noise?

by Dan Regan | Jan 14, 2015 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

Is there too much going on in your head?

Maybe your brain is always whizzing around and always seems to be on the go – or finding something to worry about.

So may people tell me about how they can’t switch off their mind – they are caught in a trap of over thinking that leaves them tired and drained. You may be able to distract yourself in the daytime but at some point, maybe when you are trying to sleep, all that brain activity can leave you stressed and frustrated and wide awake.

And maybe you have trouble concentrating – many anxious people tell me they just can’t read to relax anymore because their brain is whirring around.

The Benefits of Anxiety

by Dan Regan | Jan 12, 2015 | Anxiety Stress and Panic Attacks

Except when your anxiety is overwhelming, there can be many benefits to anxiety. Of course, if you struggle with heart palpitations, shaking, panic attacks and a racing mind, it may be difficult to believe that your anxiety has any positive points.

But here’s the thing, at the very least those anxiety feelings and thoughts let you know that your safety responses are working well (even if they are set a bit too high right now). Should you ever be in a dangerous situation (although I hope you never are) you would want your body to automatically keep you safe by getting you out of there – so the sweating, increased breathing rate and rush of blood to the muslces can be pretty handy indeed.

And there are also many other things that flow from anxiety if you are able to harness them (even after you learn how to feel calmer and in control).
