Reframing your thoughts. (part5) 

Your glass is half full.

In this video I’m going to be speaking to you about “Reframing your Thoughts.”
Now our lives are a constant process of learning, even as babies in our cots we’re learning to communicate with our mothers. We go to school we learn new skills and of course as adults that learning process just goes on and on and on. Now all of these learning processes are part of our conscious thought. 
Most of what we know, most of what we do is all learned behaviour. Your habits, your behaviour, your responses they’re all part of that conscious learned thought. However what’s going on also in that computer that is your brain is another program and that is the program of unconscious thought, otherwise known as the subconscious. 
 Now in our lives all the events that take place are recorded in our minds, our brain retains all of that information, not only does it retain that information but it also remembers how we felt about it. Therefore when we have negative events or traumatic events that happen in our lives, those events that flood our bodies with hormones and chemicals and bring back that fight or flight mechanism our brain remembers all of that information and when we’re anxious it constantly replays that to us, so all the time we’re feeling anxious because our brain is constantly replaying all of these thought processes.
What we have to do is break that cycle. We need to change the information that’s getting to your brain and reframe it in such a way that when your brain remembers it, it remembers it in a more positive mindset.
Now there is a very very simple technique to do this and I’m going to do this technique with you, but before I do I’d like you to get yourself into a nice comfortable position. So that you can actually think, because what I want you to do is to think of a situation that would be extremely stressful for you and will build your levels of anxiety so this may be getting in a lift or elevator, could be driving your car on the motor way, flying in an aeroplane or even a difficult conversation with your boss.
I want you to really concentrate on this and think about it and I want you to let those anxiety levels build up inside you as you think about that, and then we you think they’ve well reached their maximum I want you to give it a number out of 10. Maybe it’s a 7 or 8, maybe a 9 or 10. 
It makes you feel really anxious and what we’re going to do now is we’re going to concentrate on those thoughts and as you concentrate on those thoughts and think about the anxiety, I’m going to ask you in a few seconds to take a deep breath inwards, breath in through your nose hold it awhile and then breath out through your mouth. And just to what I’m saying while you’re doing this , right so think about the anxiety, think about whatever it is that’s really making you feel anxious and think about that number  “you know, I’m on a 9 here.”
“You know this is really upsetting for me” 
So I want you to now breathe in, think about that anxiety and I want you to breathe out through your mouth and as you breathe out, just allow it to come out. I want you to let all that negativity and all the anxiety come out. Breathe out. 
Let it come out. Let it just float away into the atmosphere. Now we can repeat that a few times. So it’s going to be in think about all the negativity *poof* out it goes. Let out into the atmosphere, let it go. When you breathe in, feel it in your abdomen and then breathe it out. Breathe it out with some force and get rid of that negativity. Just keep on doing that for a while.
Because what I want you to do is every couple of breaths or so I want you to think about that again and I want you to change the number and you will find that number is going down each time. If you’re a 9 maybe it goes down to an 8 or 7 and you keep on doing that, another couple of breaths and that will go down to a 5, maybe a 4. So just keep on doing that for the moment “Inhale” “Exhale” 
That’s right, now when you’ve got that to about a 3, you may even have got it to nothing. I just want you to stop, just allow yourself now just to take some time and feel how calm you’re beginning to feel and we now going to repeat this process but as we’re repeat this process we’re going to do something to anchor that calm feeling in our mind.
As you breathe in now I want you to think the word “Calm” to yourselves and when you do I want you to do something, I want you just to touch your thumb and either your forefinger or your index finger together, just touch it like that and make a little circle.
Breathe in... think calm... and breathe out and as you breathe out you just feel that calmness washing over you, and breathe in.... and out... just feel that calmness washing over you. Just keep on doing that for a short while, in and out, and you will associate that feeling with that action. So whenever you feel stressed or anxious all you need to do is to hold your fingers together like this *make a circle* and think the word “calm”
Now what’s happening there is that when stressful things happen for you, you can change the message that’s going through to your brain by using that anchor of calmness and the message that will come through to your brain is not stressful. Fight or flight thoughts, but it’s going to be calm messages, calm thoughts and you can relax yourself, and calm yourself down in any situation.
Practice that a few times. It worked for me. It’s worked for many thousands of people and I know it will work for you. 
I look forward to speaking to you again soon.

Hypnotic Transformations:
My anxiety story (part 2)

“I Overcame My Anxiety, Now Let Me Help You”

This is the second in the series of short videos that I’ve made on anxiety and panic attacks and of course they come to you free of charge. 

Now I thought I’d give you a brief overview of my own experiences so that you know I do understand how you feel, because I know how difficult it is to break that cycle of anxiety.
I was a police officer for 28 years and I was diagnosed with chronic anxiety, and I had to leave a job which I had done for most of my adult life. Now leaving this job meant that really I left behind my sense of self worth, my self esteem and my self confidence, my life hit rock bottom and virtually I become a recluse for about a year.
Now I had ex colleagues come to visit me and I suppose they were well meaning I have no doubt about that, but I suppose that’s the first time that I realised that most people don’t understand what life is like when you suffer from anxiety. Because my colleagues would say to me things like “Well you’ve got a lot of time on your hands now, you should be able to relax.”
Relax was something that I didn’t feel I could do. My body wasn’t allowing me to relax, my brain and my body was just on the go all the time. With all the chemicals and all the hormones that were flooding through me was part of my anxiety.
They would say things to me like “Well you live in the country side, it’s a lovely environment. Why don’t you just take the dogs for a walk? You know, take your mind away from things.”
Again what people don’t realise is that when you suffer from anxiety, life can be a prison. I mean I was living in a prison of my own mind and it didn’t matter where I was or what I was doing. I felt as if I was surrounded by barbed wire. So it took a long time for me to be able to get the confidence to actually think about going out and trying to live my life again. 
Now I was on medication and I was receiving some therapy, some counselling. I did start to actually feel that I was able to start managing my life again, and I applied for a job with a local heritage organisation, which is a subject very dear to my heart, and I was offered this job, I took the job but on the first day I had this massive panic attack and I just couldn’t attend and I emailed them. I didn’t have the confidence to pick up the phone and speak to them. I emailed them and they were very understanding, but of course that really sent me back down to rock bottom. Now I had met someone else who was to become my partner and she said to me “Look, things are just not going anywhere. You’re just standing still here where you are.”  She asked me “Will you try something?” and I said “Yeah I’ll try anything”
So she introduced me to this sect of self help hypnosis CD’s, and I have to say, my mindset which was very sceptical was more like “I’ll try anything, but I don’t really want to try this.”
However I was desperate. I was desperate to free myself from this barbed wire mindset that I had. So I started listening to these CD’s and now the real positive thing is of course I was able to listen to these in the safety, security and privacy of my own home. 
So it didn’t matter what I felt like, because I didn’t have to leave home to go to a clinic or someone’s consulting room, I could do this in the privacy of my own home. So if I was having a good day and I didn’t want to listen to them, I didn’t and if I was having a bad day I did listen to them. If I was having a good day and I wanted to listen to them, I listened to them.
But what’s happened is that I started listening to them every day and sometimes more than once a day and to my amazement I found that I started to look at life differently and I started to go from strength to strength, and I started to overcome my anxiety and I started to realise that I could actually be free of this sort of barbed wire mentality.
I applied for another job, now this job is more in line with experiences that I had as a police officer because I actually got a job training police officers in a police training centre and I enjoyed that so much and found that I had gone from strength to strength that I actually got another job, a part time job in a college for further education. I was teaching police officers full time and that was a job I continued to do for another 13 years.
I was teaching police officers full time and I was teaching part time as a tutor in a college for further education and on top of that Claire and I were together by that time and we decided we wanted to become foster carers, so we applied to become foster carers and we started sharing our lives with some fantastic children.
Well that was the dogs barking, I’m very fortunate that I’m able to work from home and which I really appreciate. However, unfortunately you do have interruptions of day to day life going on around you. 
So just to catch up where we were:
 I had overcome my anxiety. 
I had gone from very very dark days, to really starting to enjoy my life to the full.
 I was working full time. I had a part time job as a college tutor.
Claire and I had become foster carers and were now sharing our lives with some gorgeous children and I was starting to enjoy my life.
But when I looked at what had happened to me, my experiences. I decided that I would use that experience to help others. So I trained as a hypnotherapist and really that is why I am here today talking to you, because I had been able to help other people overcome their difficulties and I have now put together this program called “Stop Anxiety” which of course the videos that are coming to the inbox of your email are part of that program.
Now as I said in the end of the first video. The videos will be coming to you on regular intervals into your inbox of your email. However if you do want to get them in a single package, then they come as part of the stop anxiety program.
 Or if you want to take your recovery further and you want to also take advantage of the full session hypnosis treatments that come as part of that stop anxiety package, and then please just have a look at it at the end of this video and you can make the judgement whether you feel it’s for you or not, in the meantime I have to say it has been a real pleasure talking to you and I do hope that I get the opportunity to speak to you again.
