Your Journey

A few days left of this month and then we’re into December 2022.
How often do we say or hear the phrase ‘Time goes so fast’ or ‘I cant quite believe this year’s nearly over, already!’

This can be a good thing- if you feel you’ve achieved all the things you wanted to- but not so good if you’re still in exactly the same place as you were when the year began.

This is all related to how we think; you see, our brains don’t totally disconnect imagination and reality. If you tell yourself that you’re exactly where you want to be, then your brain will agree and be at ease with that.

We all have different expectations in life as to what brings us joy.
The most important thing is that where you are is where you want to be, un- influenced by others, and at ease with yourself.
This could refer to where you are in your home life, work life, parent life, student life- or all of the above.

I’ve come to the realisation that as much as my goals are important to me- and, of course, I feel happy when I achieve them- they are not a definition of failure if I’m not yet where I want to be.

I ask myself the question:
Have I done the work?
Have I been realistic with my expectations?
Have I recognised and praised myself when I have moved forward?

Writing down my ‘What’s been good in my day’ has really supported this and allowed me to reflect on where I am and where I’m going- I’d encourage you to do the same.

Watching clients progress in their sessions and hearing their language change in regard to how they think is wonderful.
We can all change our thinking if it’s not bringing us joy.

We begin here…

Then we choose the goals we have in our home life, work life, parent life student life etc.

Goals can be simple consistent actions occurring in our every day life.

To walk more, to read more, to ‘feel our brave’, right up to larger life-changing goals, a bigger house, a promotion, a family, a career change…

I can help you to see this more clearly. Whether your sessions are finished, or whether you’re in current sessions its good to re-address these goals. Sometimes the awareness is in itself enough.

Keep going: it doesn’t matter at what speed, it is your path, your journey; just don’t look back- you’re not going that way.

Love,

Where It All Began

What better subject to begin with than self belief, a topic I discuss with many of my clients on a weekly basis.

My self belief… It has ebbed and flowed through out my life. 

Am I smart enough to be successful in my career, am I brave enough to move to England away from Ireland where I grew  up, will I be good enough as a parent, the list continues.

Here I was in my mid 40’s, having left my career as an Area Manager many years before to be around more for my children, with no direction or plan towards what I wanted for ME.

Then a friend told me I should take a look at the course she’d done, how I’d love it, how she loved it and how it would be so aligned with me as a person and my current skill sets…Rather than the usual nodding but not following up, I took action…

AND the beginnings of Omara Hypnotherapy began.

I took that leap of faith, I decided I would not listen to the fears and doubts in my head, because they weren’t as clear as the excitement and focus I had for the possibilities for the future.

I’ve always had the support of my husband telling me I can do anything I put my mind to but I needed to believe that WITHIN MYSELF  first and foremost.

I now know the changes I need to put in place to practice self hypnosis on myself, I look forward to teaching you how to do the same.
