“The Only Thing That Is Constant Is Change.” I thought I had invented this quote but it turns out it was originally said by a Greek philosopher, Heraclitus. He lived from 535 to 475 BCE.
Change has been around for a very long time.
We are always experiencing change in our lives: small changes like flowers growing and flowering or big changes like graduations and new jobs. How we think about change can make a huge difference in our lives. My dear mother-in-law was always surprised with change. It left her in a constant state of “Oh, no, what will happen next.” I, on the other hand, know that change is constant and I am excited to see what will change next. While it may seem like a small change, this difference in attitude can significantly affect your quality of life.
Many brides are happy and excited to celebrate their wedding. Some brides, however, suffer from social anxiety that can cause panic attacks. They may fear having all eyes on them as they walk down the aisle or they may be intimidated by the hours of socializing at their reception. Hypnotherapy can help to change how they view these events. They can visualize walking down the aisle through friends and family that are supporting them and giving them strength or they can visualize the reception as a casual party instead of a formal event. These small changes can make their wedding a positive, happy experience.
Affirmations are an important part of making these changes in thinking. When we tell ourselves over and over that we are moving toward something positive, it helps us achieve our goals. In my book, The Power in Affirmations, there are journal pages to write your affirmations and I matching pages to write down what you are grateful for each day. Focusing on gratitude helps us to notice and reinforce all the positive things in our life and make them more important than the little negative things that may happen.
Since change is constant, why not learn how to embrace change in a positive way? We all face challenges in life. Hypnotherapy tools can make those challenges easier to manage. Let’s talk to see how I may help, give me a call at 818-929-4944.
