“𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐈 𝐠𝐨, 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥.” 🌿 (Davagh Forest)

There is something lovely about a moment when your attention moves from everything on your mind to the world around you.

Sunlight through the leaves. The sound of flowing water. A little space to simply be.

In solution focused hypnotherapy, we give moments like these more attention, noticing what helps you feel calmer, what is already working and what you would like more of.

Take a moment, breathe and notice what feels good. Sometimes, it is these small moments we can begin to build on. 🌿

I was at a Stephen Wilson Junior concert last night and he mentioned this thought:

The same people asking whether he was ready for the end of the world were also asking what he wanted to be when he grew up. As he put it, it sounded like a trick question. 🤔

It got me thinking (again….) about the words we absorb, sometimes without even noticing.

A passing comment. A warning. A few words of encouragement.

🌱 They can plant a seed, shaping what we believe about ourselves and what we expect from the future. Some open up possibilities. Others leave us with doubts we might never have thought to question.

In solution focused hypnotherapy, we make space to pause, notice our thoughts and explore what we would like to move towards. To recognise our strengths and give more attention to what helps us take that next small step. ✨ ✨

💭 Curious about hypnotherapy, but not quite sure what to think?

You are certainly not alone!

I came across this interesting article in The Daily Beast, sharing real people’s experiences of hypnotherapy and how it helped them with things like anxiety, fears and unwanted habits.

What I particularly liked was that some of them were sceptical at first. They weren’t sure what to expect, or whether hypnotherapy could really help.

And that is completely understandable. I was at first, slightly sceptical initially as a client too. There are still so many misconceptions about hypnosis!

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy isn’t about losing control or someone taking over your mind. It’s a gentle, collaborative approach that combines positive, forward-focused conversation with hypnosis, a state of deep relaxation.

Rather than dwelling on what has gone wrong, we focus on what you would like to be different, helping you recognise your strengths and take small, positive steps towards the life you would like to be living.

Everyone’s experience is different, but sometimes being open to trying something new can be the beginning of a positive change. 🌿

If you have ever wondered whether Solution Focused Hypnotherapy might be right for you, this article is well worth a read.

And if you would like to know a little more about how I work, you are always welcome to get in touch. 💚

This little quote has been popping in and out of my head. 💗 It isn’t even a quote I can remember hearing in a very long time.

When we have a wee niggling worry about something that needs sorted, it is amazing how a few simple words can help us look at things a little differently.

It is interesting how thoughts and little phrases can stick in our minds, some helpful, others not so much. 🤔 💭

And while we can’t always stop those worries popping up, we can try to give a little more attention to the thoughts that help us see things in a better light. ✨

Sometimes a gentle reminder is all we need.

One moment at a time or in my case one cup of green tea at a time 😂 💕

𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬, 𝐬𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝.

Life can have a way of keeping us moving, thinking, planning and worrying about what comes next.

And when we have been going at full speed for a while, it can be easy to miss the signs that something needs to change.

Slowing down does not mean you have lost your way.

Sometimes, giving ourselves a little space allows our thoughts to settle, our perspective to shift and the path ahead to become clearer.

Sometimes, you simply need to slow down enough to read the signs.

📚 I have just finished reading Atomic Habits by James Clear for the 2nd and I think I got even more from it this time around.

Borrowed from my local library which is such a great service, if you love a good book. 📖

So much of it resonated with what we do in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy.

We often think change needs to be Big to be meaningful. But in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy we are much more interested in those 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥, 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐬, noticing what is already working, what has been a little better and what you would like to see more of.

Rather than continually focusing on the problem, we begin to 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐨.

And that is why Atomic Habits is such a good read. Small actions, repeated consistently, can gradually create new patterns. You don’t have to overhaul your whole life by Monday morning. 🙈

It is often those seemingly small changes, repeated over time, that can make a surprisingly big difference.

Definitely worth a read… or in my case, a reread! 📚

This morning I was ironing a school shirt, thinking about the usual things that fill a morning, when I happened to glance out of the window.

And this was waiting for me. 🤩

Nothing about the morning had changed. Same ironing. Same jobs to do. Same day ahead.

I had simply looked up.

It made me think about how easy it is, when our minds are busy, to move through the day without really noticing what is around us. Our attention naturally gets pulled towards what needs doing, what has not happened yet, what we are worrying about, what we need to remember.

And then, every now and again, something interrupts all that.

A beautiful sky.
A song you had forgotten about.
Someone making you laugh.
A cup of tea while it is still hot.

Tiny moments, perhaps. But our brains notice those too.

So this is not a profound thought for today. Just something from one woman, ironing a school shirt, to another:

Remember to look up occasionally. You never quite know what you might notice.

And yes, the shirt did get ironed 😜

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐤𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐛𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫.

That stayed with me.

We often imagine we will feel better when life becomes less demanding, when there is less to think about, less to manage, less uncertainty.

But our wellbeing does not have to depend on everything around us being resolved.

Sometimes the shift is within us.

Not a different life,
but a different way of experiencing the life we already have.

And that can change more than we realise. ✨

I typed it on my laptop back in 2018. No Canva, no AI, just me, taking my time, choosing the colours and putting the words together.

There is something about the simplicity of it that I still love.

And all these years later, the words still ring true. 𝐀 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞, 𝐚 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝, 𝐚 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫. Often more than we realise .

It is easy to go looking for the big things, when sometimes it is the wee things that make the biggest difference.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬.

And happiness really can be contagious, I hope you catch a little of it today. ✨ ✨

I love how the light in this photo seems brighter because of the darkness around it.

Perhaps because the light is a surrounded by darkness, we notice it more.

I think life can be a little like that too.

When things feel heavy, uncertain or overwhelming, our minds can become very good at noticing what is difficult. The worries, the things that have not gone to plan, the bits that feel hard.

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝. ✨

Sometimes we just need a moment and a little space, to look at things differently.

To notice what is going well. The small win, the kind word, something you coped with better than you expected, a moment when you smiled without even thinking about it. 😊

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is not about pretending the difficult bits are not there or forcing ourselves to think positively.

It is about giving the mind the opportunity to look beyond the darkness and begin noticing what else is there too.

And sometimes, when we start to notice those little glimmers of light, we begin to see more of them. 🤍
