Yesterday I got a message from a client Karen Martel Women's Hormone Specialist who has a podcast on hormones. She wanted to let me know she had mentioned me on her podcast and put my contact info in the show notes 😮.

This was more of a year end type podcast that she was very vulnerable in sharing the struggles she had this year transitioning from being someone who worked tireless hours in her business and wanted to move towards working on her business but to do so she needed to release some limiting beliefs she had held for along time.

I was already working with her husband when she reached out looking to find more balance in her life. But as many of my clients know, what people initially contact me for is usually the pattern or the symptom of some deeper issues. Have a listen as it's a very powerful episode ❤️

Goldie Hawn's Foundation started a mental health platform for kids called MindUP. Her goal is to have mental health programs in every school.

At the rate our kids are experiencing anxiety, ADHD, depression, conduct disorder, eating disorders, and many more, it is imperative that we start teaching mental health programs in elementary schools.

Every parent of teens should watch this 10 minute clip.

Check out MindUP.org for a video for younger kids.

When I get a new client, I like to do as much research about the issue they are struggling with as I can. Jeff was a unique client in reguards to what he was hoping hypnotherapy could assist him with.

has a goal of doing the 7 Summits, which is to summit the highest mountain on each of the 7 continents.

Carstensz Pyramid in Oceania was going to be his 3rd out of 7. He is a skilled mountaineer and each mountain comes with its own difficulties. Carstensz Pyramid had two major components of difficulty.

It is a highly exposed sheer rock face which meant Jeff would be doing more actually rock climbing vs going up a trail and the weather is known to be unpredictable.

It also has a 50ft Tylorean Traverse (cable bridge) that is basically like walking across one tight rope like cable between two peaks with two cables for hand grips.

I watched probably 3-4 hours of footage so I could imagine myself on the mountain and what Jeff would need to overcome to make the climb successfully.

We worked together creating situations of confidence then overlapping them on any feelings of fear he had about the exposed climb and the cable bridge.

I used super specific visualizations of him climbing the mountain with confidence and presence. Always being mindful and keeping his breathing steady and calm.

During these sessions, I'm in my own self hypnosis visualization of climbing the mountain and describing each grip and foot hold and strength of the cables to Jeff while he is also in hypnosis.

I also created a technique for him to step into a coloured circle of confidence at will. He could practice this over and over before the actual climb. Then he could do it the morning of the climb.

His journey to summit Carstensz Pyramid was not without it's obstacles. Getting to base camp was delayed several days due to weather. Then they were at basecamp waiting for good weather for the one day summit.

His expedition guiding team from are literally the best in the world and he couldn't have climbed with a more competent team.

I was grateful for the contact and the messages sent via his Garmin to know when he had made summit and successfully complete this summit. I want to thank him for giving me permission to share our work together.

What are you reading?📚

I am back on track with my Miracle Morning routine.

What is the Miracle Morning you ask?🤔

The Miracle Morning consists of 6 Life S.A.V.E.R.S. This is an acronym for a morning routine that brings energy, confidence, and a state of well-being.

The consistency is key. Every day, getting up early, preferably the same time to get all 6 savers done before 8 am or before work.

You can start with 1 minute of each and gradually increase.

Silence - this can be self hypnosis audios, guided meditation, or prayers. 🎧🧘‍♀️

Affirmations - hypnosis audios, or high 5 habit (check out Mel Robbins high 5 habit)🖐🪞

Visualization - hypnosis audio or set a timer for 1-3 minutes and visualize any goal or outcome you want for any situation 💡

Exercise - any form, quick workout 1 minute jumping Jack's, 1 minute squats, 1 minute push ups. 🏋‍♀️

Reading - recommended 10 pages of any personal development book on mindset, relationships, or finances. 📖

Scribing - journal 3 things to be grateful for 1 thing you are doing well and 3 priorities for your day. Or any other positive thoughts you have. 📝

Start tomorrow and let me know how you make out 🥰

There is a Miracle Morning App you can download and if you go to his website you can watch a movie about how Hal Elrod started the Miracle Morning.🩷

Do you ever look at a year and think what have you accomplished? Or what still needs to happen for you to achieve your goals.

In one week there will be 100 days to finish the year strong. What can you do in 100 days that will give you a sense of accomplishment or pride?

What habit could you incorporate into your day that over a 100 days will have a considerable impact?

Make one commitment to yourself for 100 days.

-Maybe it's read10 pages a day of a personal development book.

-Maybe it's drink 100 oz of water a day.

-Maybe it's go for a 15 minute walk a day or get 10 000 steps a day.

-Maybe it's go alcohol free

I use a couple of different apps to track habits and start my day right.

Ultiself app is for tracking my daily habits.

The Miracle Morning app is to start my day with 6 life S.A.V.E.R.S.

I'm ready to reset after my summer of fun and get ready to crush some goals.

How about you?
