Hypnosis: Why I love it and What are the benefits!

Newhaven Yacht Squadron (Not mindset related, just pretty)

Well before I had stumbled across Arbonne's nutritional range, I was a heavy Coke Zero drinker. (Full disclaimer I still do drink it now, just not as much)

I'd had enough, I felt like I was addicted, and I felt like the amount I was consuming was increasing. I'd try to stop but had no self-control.  I wouldn't last more than 24 hours, before I felt desperate and would grab a can.

So, I took it upon myself to find a way to quit!  Enter Hypnosis.

I took myself off to a Hypnosis specialist and in one session, I quit, cold turkey.

It was a really strange feeling to go about my business and think 'mmm usually I'd love a coke zero right now but to be honest I just don't need it' groundbreaking.

I didn't drink Coke Zero for over 18 months after that day.

Then slowly the creep happened.  I didn't want to keep going back for more sessions, so I invested in a Hypnosis App. 

I now have a small range of hypnosis sessions available through my app that I think add value to my life. 

Why do I love Hypnosis?

If you're following along you probably already know I love and continuously like to work on mindset.  Hypnosis is really just a form of mindset work right!  I mean you've got something you want to improve on, whether it be an action, a behaviour or just a thought process and you want to be better.

Whether it's a conscious effort or a sub conscious effort, both are different forms of mindset work.

What Hypnosis App do I use?

I use the website: Self Hypnosis

They state "Hypnosis is a receptive state of consciousness where the mind is highly open to suggestions. By achieving this state, we can tap into the power of the subconscious mind and align it with our conscious objectives."

This is where you can purchase the session you want.  Then you download the app. which allows you to listen to the session via your phone / headset.

Once you purchase the session it's yours to keep and can be listen to time and time again. 

I absolutely love having my hypnosis sessions and love that I can tap into them whenever I need a bit of a kick up the bum or just want to rein in my mindset. 

I highly recommend it for anyone, my only tip is you have to really want it to work, go into the session excited for what it can do for you. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

Recipe: Pina Colada's

*This is a Thermomix recipe however can be adapted to a standard blender.

Look I know for the most part, the blog, my business is about health and wellbeing. 

But it's also important to have balance, and taking time to enjoy yourself is all a part of the wellbeing balance.  I mean I often will forego a drink, because I'd rather drive, or because quite frankly I just don't want to.  But over summer there is definitely one drink that gets a gold star from me.

Pina Colada!

What makes this recipe so special is the fact we don't add any coconut milk to it.  I find that at times it separates and can become overbearing if you're not used to drinking it.
