Christy on Natural Health Radio - new show 'Change Your Own Mind' - Friday 18th April at 11am

Regular listeners to my show 'Christy Hypnotherapy' which is aired on Natural Health Radio every other Friday, will from this week onwards, be hearing me under the new name of 'Change Your Own Mind'. The reason for changing the name is to reflect the wide variety of content which now goes out on my show. Whilst I still talk about hypnotherapy related topics, I have also had the pleasure of doing interviews with a wide range of people over the past few months, including therapists, sports people, business people and book authors.

I also wanted my show to be a resource for people to listen to to hear about all sorts of ways in which you can "change your own mind" for the better! All the wonderful people I get to speak with are all related in some way to helping people get the most out of life, by improving your physcial and mental health.

So this name change is not about being indecisive in changing your mind, quite the opposite in fact! It represents a choice you have to change the way you are currently thinking which is causing you to feel negative about yourself or your life and instead to lead a more happy, productive and healthy life.

On Friday 18th, I will speaking with the fabulous Tone Tellefson-Hughes from the Luck's Yard Chiropractic Clinic in Milford and then I will be joined by the lovely Andrea Detchon who is the 'Joy Scientist'.

Listen live at 11am on Friday to find out more!

"How to Tame your Tiger" - words from motivational speaker, Jim Lawless

Earlier this week I had the pleasure of attending a convention where they had a guest speaker named Jim Lawless. Personally I'd not come across Jim before however anyone involved in either Horse Racing or the Freediving world would definitely know him. These might sound like two completely unrelated sports however Jim Lawless proves that if you are able to 'Tame your Tiger', anything is possible!

I won't go into detail about Jim's story (you can Google him to read about his interesting career so far) however the most important thing is that Jim started out as someone who made a normal living with a relatively normal day job. Once day someone challenged him to an unusual bet which involved him going from an overweight and unfit man in his thirties who'd never ridden a horse in his life, to becoming a televised jockey in 12 months. He won the bet!

In his talk, Jim described how at first, his 'inner tiger' roared to him about how this was an impossible task, one which someone like him could never achieve and that he was bonkers to try. But by challenging himself to overcome these obstacles (both physical AND mental) Jim showed just what is possible when you put your mind to it. He decided to capture how he did this in a set of rules which he describes as "how to tame the tiger". In 2010 he went on to use this "Taming Tigers" approach to become Britain's deepest Freediver.

I wanted to share my thoughts on Jim's talk as the most poignant rule for me was to "re-write your rulebook and challenge it hourly". Jim asked the audience a question, which was "are you writing the story of your life or are you letting someone else do it?". Personally this struck a chord with me and I would guess that there are many other people out there who feel like someone else is holding the pen which writes the story of your life. If you feel this way, I would encourage you to first recognise this and then to do something about taking back control to begin writing your own story - and make it a blockbuster!

Hypnotherapy can help YOU take back control over your life story by helping you let go of limiting beliefs and understanding what makes you tick. Get in touch today for a free telephone consultation: 07527 576245 or email chirsty@christyhypnotherapy.com.

National No Smoking Day - 12th March

Today is National No Smoking Day!
  
No Smoking Day is a yearly event to get smokers who want to quit started on the path to quitting for good.
  
The aim of the campaign is for people to quit on No Smoking Day - even if it's just for that day - to prove to themselves that it is possible, and kickstart their desire to quit, and stay quit.

The British Heart Foundation say: "Whether you're someone who's quit smoking and wants to inspire others, a healthcare professional or addiction specialist, an office worker, a school teacher, part of the armed forces or the prison service, we need you to help us make No Smoking Day a roaring success".

Find out more on the British Heart Foundation No Smoking Day website here. 

If you are reading this thinking, "yes I want to stop but I'm not sure whether I can do it" or "I've been a smoker for such a long time, I just don't know if it's possible for me to quit" then consider having hypnotherapy to help you quit for good. Hypnotherapy is a great way to work with the power of your own mind to turn a habit around.

So pick up the phone and call me on 01252 334377 or email me at Christy@christyhypnotherapy.com for a free telephone consultation.

Everyone else seems totally in control... right?

Have you ever thought that everyone else in the world seems to be in total control of their lives? You would be forgiven for thinking that everyone around you seems to be able to manage a job, a house, kids, fitness... whatever life throws at them... whilst you feel like you are struggling to keep up with just day to day activities.

Well the good news is... you are not alone! The fact is that we are all good at 'keeping up appearances' to the outside world, even when our own private world might be about to crash around our ears. This is usually partly down to the fact that we don't want to appear 'weak' or to admit that we can't cope to the outside world... but it is also partly a self-protection mechanism as we all like to feel in control of our lives.

So if you ARE one of those people who wonders just how other people manage to seem always in control and on top of things, what can you do about it? There may be a number of things you can do - it might be that you would benefit from delegating jobs to others, getting a cleaner, or finding someone to help you out - and you could also book in for a few hypno-coaching sessions!

'Hypno-coaching' is a term I use to describe a process where I use a techniques taken from personal coaching, combined with hypnotherapy. Coaching can be very useful for helping people get direction in their lives for sure, however our critical, judgemental conscious minds often resist taking action; usually as a result of a lack of self-belief. Combining coaching with hypnotherapy enables me to help my clients tap into the power of their subconscious mind, which enables people to bypass their own self-critical judgements and to work out exactly what it is they want out of life. This process is not an 'overnight change' of course - good things don't come easily - but it might just help you get that vital element of control back in your life.

If you'd like to book in for a session of hypno-coaching, please email me today at christy@christyhypnotherapy.com or call 01252 334377.

Hypnotherapy for pain and injury recovery

On Friday 7th February at 11am, I will be again hosting my hour long show on Natural Health Radio.

This week on my show I an lucky enough to be joined by Tim Dalby-Quenet. Tim runs his own business called ‘The Massage Hut’ where he offers clients a range of bespoke massage therapies including deep tissue, Indian head  massage and even Himalayan hot stones. During this show I will be interviewing Tim about the different types of massage, the many benefits and also about the range of issues which can be improved using massage. If you have ever wondered whether massage would help you specifically, during this interview I'm sure you will learn that pretty much anyone can benefit! Whether you are just looking for some relaxation or whether you have pain resulting from an injury or more serious physical condition such as Lupus, Arthritis or even MS - massage can work wonders!

I will also spend some time talking about injury and pain – both of which can be hugely improved using hypnotherapy – and will be exploring some of my recent experiences with both these after some recent ankle surgery. Don’t worry – there won’t be any graphic detail…!

As always I’d love to hear from anyone with feedback or comments: please email me at christy@christyhypnotherapy.com or Tweet me @ChristyRoxburgh.
