Stop Worrying What Other People Think of You

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

Dawn Walton –  Can you read minds? Have you ever walked into a room and worried what people thought of you? I suspect most of us will, at some time or other in our lives, have worried what other people think of us.

subconsciousNow let me ask the question a different way: Do you think that you are that important that when you walk in a room people only focus on you? It’s essentially the same question. And the craziest thing of all is that you can’t read minds, so you have no way of knowing what someone thinks of you!

As a cognitive hypnotherapist, most of my clients define themselves based on their perceptions of what other people think of them. This isn’t always people in their current life. This can also be people from their past.

My goal, when working with a client, is to help them realise a few keys things:

  1. We are all screwed up.
  2. You can’t read minds.
  3. If you could read minds and tried to change accordingly, you’d be changing to match other people’s screw ups. Crazy!

This is the single most important thing that we can teach our kids too. Can you imagine how much easier life would be if you didn’t worry what other people thought of you? Standing up and doing talks would be about what you said and not about being embarrassed or worrying about feeling stupid. Choosing what to wear would be about picking the clothes you liked rather than finding something that didn’t make you look too fat.

Understanding and Overcoming Food Addiction

Dawn Walton – It’s getting late. You’ve had a long stressful day at work and you are sitting flicking through the TV channels. You are bored. You go to the kitchen and grab the big bag of snacks you bought earlier. You figure you’ll just eat a few and save the rest. Pretty soon you are scrabbling around for crumbs at the bottom of the packet. You feel a bit sick. You go back through to the kitchen and grab some chocolate. You tell yourself you shouldn’t but you do it anyway. It makes you feel better. It makes you feel less stressed.

subconsciousLater you beat yourself up. Why didn’t you just grab something healthy? Why didn’t you stop when you’d had enough?

You tell yourself you are only eating because you are bored. You decide that tomorrow you will find something else to do so you don’t get bored.

Tomorrow comes. You haven’t found something else to do. You switch the TV on. You go and fetch a bag of snacks. You’ll find that thing tomorrow. Tonight you are too tired.

Night after night you repeat the same behaviour.

You try diets and they kind of work, for a while, but then it gets too much like hard work and you have a day off. Then a few days. And somehow you can’t motivate yourself to start again.

You feel like you have no willpower. What is wrong with you? All these other people seem to be able to eat whatever they want and they’re skinny. Life isn’t fair.

Set Yourself Free

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

“Sooner or later, all obsolete vows need to be released in order to set yourself free from the invisible chains of self-imposed limitation. Any vows taken in past lives with no expiration date are typically inappropriate in the way they affect later lives.” O K Waters

OwenKWatersBack in the Middle Ages in Europe, the popular path towards spirituality was to become a monk or a nun. Monasteries and convents were well funded as their local populations were compelled by law to, not only attend church on Sundays, but also to donate 10 percent of their incomes to the church.

Monks and nuns took vows which relieved them of the distractions of having to make a living. They took vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. Freed from the distractions of laboring for pay or supporting a family, they were able to spend many hours per day in worship and contemplation. The obedience part of the vow was thrown in for good measure because it suited those in charge.

The problem is that, once a vow is taken, it becomes stored in your subconscious mind which, unlike your physical brain, lives on after death and reincarnates with your spirit into each new life.

If you are struggling today with money issues, close relationships, or you feel a lack of the initiative that could solve your problems, you probably took a vow of poverty, chastity and obedience in a past life. Such vows seemed like a good idea at the time but, because reincarnation was banned from the teachings of the Bible, no one realized what trouble this would cause in future lives. Continue reading →

Parallel-Universe Therapy

parallelEarthsOne of the best questions a person asks himself is, “What if…?”

People do ask themselves that question all the time, but they rarely take it seriously.

They prefer to keep the answers at arm’s length. They prefer to assign someone else the task of putting answers into action.

“What if…” sets up a kind of parallel universe, in which things are quite different.

It’s no surprise that artists ask the question; then they answer it with novels and plays and paintings and films.

For the individual, the question always suggests taking a new course in life, changing the old framework. As one edges closer to initiating action, body and mind and psyche go into an anticipatory state of high energy.

“Yes, do it. This is good.”

It’s especially good because the subconscious sees new possibility, and not just along one line; it sees multiple dimensions of action—trees sprouting many branches.

Subconscious Messages

What does our voice tell other about how we want to be treated? The invisible truth is – the way people treat us is affected by subconscious vibes that we send out. Unconsciously they are affected by our unconscious messages. A good portion of relationships occurs below our conscious minds.

People react to the subtle energy we send out…that we are not aware of. However, we can increase our consciousness, by focusing on our thinking and feelings as we interact with people. Focus on tiny feelings that you may not even be able to put into words. What you think and feel will carry on your words.

Our voice is a bridge to others. We subconsciously and habitually tell people how we want to be treated as quickly as we introduce ourselves. What voice do we use, when we say our name? Let say our name several times and feel how it sounds. These questions will help analyze our subtle messages to others:

  • Do we love our name as it comes out of our mouth? Do you even like your name? Can you say your name as if it is the most special sound in the world?
  • What are we feeling? Proud? Insecure? Suspicious? These feelings are part of our messages. They are not hidden.
  • What is the speed volume, pitch, EQ of our name? Try saying your name and changing each one of these items. Which ones sound the best?
  • What is our posture, which affects our voice?
  • Where does our name vibrate in our body? Our head? Our gut? Our nose? Try saying your name and think of a different area of your body and watch your voice change?
  • Do we change the pitch at the end of our name? Does it go up or down?
  • Do we say our name like a question, expressing uncertainty about who we are and what we want?
  • Do we swallow our breath? Do we say our name in the front or the back of our mouth? Do we want to reach out to them or hope they come chasing after us?
