Do you find negative thoughts dominate your thinking, however hard you try to stay positive

Do you feel that no matter how positive you try to be, those negative thoughts creep back in?

Do you feel like giving up trying, because things just never seem to work out the way you want them to?

Do your negative thoughts make you feel hopeless, tired and despondent?

Is it someone else's fault that you feel a certain way?

Do you blame someone else or something else for the circumstances in your life?

Are "should, must and aught" favourite words, especially when referring to what other people do?

Do you find yourself jumping to conclusions or trying to be a mind reader, believing that you "know" what other s are thinking or feeling?

Does it feel as though everything bad in the world happens to you whilst others sale through life without any problems?

In every case, you have chosen to give your power away to an external person or situation. But in fact, the only power and control you have is over your own thoughts, your own feelings, your own choices, and your own reactions. The more you realize that you can choose your reactions to people and circumstances, the more you reclaim your power and control. Don't waste time and energy trying to change what really cannot be changed, instead, concentrate on what you can be changed, and that's you.

Positive thinking is not enough to establish positive feelings, you can repeat positive affirmations to yourself that will certainly be helpful, but in a stressful or challenging situation, those old negative thoughts can come to surface and take over once again. The reason why this happens is that you have only reprogrammed the conscious part of your mind with your shiny new positive thoughts. Without Hypnotherapy, you may sabotage your own progress. You know the old giving-up-chocolate experience where you celebrate not eating any for a week by treating yourself to a just one piece of chocolate, and you are back to square one. This is because in your subconscious mind, the Chocolate-eating program is still running!

Once you have reached a relaxed, deep hypnotic state, you can reprogram yourself with your desired new thought patterns using Cognitive Behaviour Techniques and Hypnotherapy, this is when you go far beyond just ordinary "Positive Thinking".

When the conscious mind needs to relate a present situation to something in the past, as it does to establish a reference point on how to react, it taps back into the memory banks of the subconscious mind to find something similar if not identical. If the subconscious mind reacted negatively in the past, this is what you will get each time this situation occurs, and even more so if the situation is exactly like the old one. Totally new situations can go either way, but chances are that if you have not changed your negative belief system, your attitudes or your assumptions, you will get a negative response, especially if this is what you created the first time you encountered a 'new' situation, no matter what it was. So what is happening to the mind when you use hypnosis? Hypnosis allows the subconscious mind to be accessed and changed.

Once changed the new positive thoughts, feelings and reactions will connect with the conscious mind so that in a wakeful, fully-attentive state, those positive thoughts, and feelings with prevail.

After using CBT and Self Hypnosis , you will be able to use post hypnotic triggers, so that if your mind ever strays into a negative pattern, this trigger will quickly re-establish a positive connection.
