Are you in a constant state of anxiety and tension?

When you are always anxious, you mind becomes cloudy and you may not be able to think very clearly. This can lead to you becoming depressed as well, so that you have more than one condition to contend with. This is known as a co-morbid state, where one condition can lead to another, and then to even another, as anxiety can also cause other physical problems.

Research has shown that the practice of mindfulness is an excellent tool to help relieve constant anxiety and encourage the relaxation of mind and body. There is a great deal of documented evidence on the many health benefits of mindfulness.

What exactly is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is all about training yourself to pay attention in a special way to things happening around you. It is also about learning to focus on the present moment, leaving the past behind, and learning not to stress about what may be coming up in the future.

Studies have shown that mindfulness is an excellent way of helping you to experience life as it happens. It is an ongoing process of developing new thought patterns, and creating a new mindset free of overwhelming stress and anxiety.

How to build mindfulness into your daily life.

There are many actions you can practise to help yourself be more mindful. It will involve eliminating old harmful thought patterns which have probably conspired to create the constant anxiety you experience.  Mental health experts agree that mindfulness therapy by means of hypnosis is the key to unlocking a number of deep-seated emotional problems. These problems may include depression and anxiety about the present, past and future, as well as eating disorders such as anorexia and binge-eating, because of stress and worries.

Here are some awesome ways hypnotherapy can help you live in the moment:

·      Teach you to take time and savour everything you do whether it be eating, walking, or just admiring a view.

·      Clear your mind and focus on some deep breathing exercises – in through the nose and slowly out through the mouth. You can do this as often as you like to re-energise yourself. 

·      By accessing the subconscious mind, hypnosis can identify and help to eliminate the harmful thought patterns which cause anxiety and negativity. A new positive mindset can be created, which will give you a brand new outlook on life.

·      Teach you how to make a plan of action for each day. This will help you focus and remind you why you are doing something, without getting anxious. For example, you can plan to take care of you appearance before heading out, and just focus on that one action.

·      Learn how to let your mind wander where it will, whenever you take a moment for yourself. This will calm your mind, and keep your thoughts directed away from a-to-list, or hectic social media accounts.

Learning the art of mindfulness is a process which takes a lot of practice. Every little bit of mindfulness helps the process to become an automatic emotion. When you are regularly mindful, you will relax your mind and easily move past negative emotions. 

Take 5 minutes every day to do a mindful exercise that you enjoy. Your life will change for the better.
