A conversation that I have had many a time “ What is enough?”
Can you define it?
I know I have struggled with this. The issue we have is with all the things we do already it becomes the norm and so we forget how much is already getting done. Our work or day to day system is then being busy and productive but because there is so much of it we don’t register any reward because we are actually creating stress.
It is certainly something that more and more people are struggling with is taking a break. Time out, rest whichever you want to call it. The work hard play hard ethic.
It definitely has its place working hard and celebrating it but you know rest has to be right up there too. The importance of taking a break whether its allocated at work or you need to time block a space rest has its place.
Everyone talks about self-care and how it can help us to become better versions of ourselves by giving ourselves time out of a busy schedule. But is self-care selfish?
It becomes quite apparent to me that if you have to find time or set aside time for self-care then clearly there’s a lot going on in life. We have the busiest lifestyles we’ve ever had we are more stress than we’ve ever had and we have the additional chore of looking after ourselves. When did that become a thing?
Happy New Year… 2023 is slowly rolling itself in and it’s that time of year again where our socials are bombarded with ‘New year, new you!’ headlines, diets, goals and plans.
In the new year we should be supporting ourselves to slowly step into a new year and take our time to support where we are right now.
November brings a different dynamic to Hummingbird Hypnotherapy with the launch of our 4th Random Acts of Kindness.
Every year we take donations from local small businesses to give back to the community and support others.
The whole idea began four years ago when I visited a friend who was going through a tough time. So I went and bought her some flowers, a Costa and a cake and she was over the moon. She said that no one had ever done that for her and really appreciated it.
Ever noticed those people in life that just seem to have their shit together? They always seem to be on time, post amazing family photos on social media and always look like they know exactly what they are doing!
But we forget that these moments we see are fleeting. Just seconds in time.
When you think of Clinical Hypnotherapy you might think that it’s a therapy that is only suited to adults. In fact, Clinical hypnotherapy and its solution-focused benefits are suitable for both adults and children.
There is no denying that in today’s world we seem to have more responsibilities than ever before. Add to that the pressure to not only be ALL things to ALL people, but keep up self care, look and feel amazing, and you’ve got a recipe for pressure-induced overload!
Is it summer yet?
I only ask because this wonderful interchangeable weather were having can be very much like our behaviour and mood. One day were all sunshine, blue sky and fluffy clouds the next dark, stormy and dark. The way we behave can have a huge impact on how we feel and on others around us too.
Over the last few years and especially during covid, Hummingbird Hypnotherapy has supported many small businesses who were struggling to get motivated or even see that light at the end of the tunnel through lockdown. We’ve supported business owners with Hypnotherapy both in Lincolnshire and further afield.
