Because they are surprise gifts, they come out of the blue, and often from places we least expect. I got one today and feel so excited about it, I had to share it. It came in the form of an email.
Recently, I signed up for daily email quotes from the author and life coach Martha Beck. I adore her, btw. The first time I read one of her books (years ago), it literally jumped off of the bookstore shelf and into my hands. It was called "Expecting Adam". It is an incredible, moving, personal story and ready it inspired me to find more of her work. If you read 'O' magazine, you've probably heard of her, as she's a regular contributor. If you haven't, here's her website so you can check her out.

Anyway, I got so busy with building my new business in the past few years, that I'd stopped reading her (or much else that wasn't Hypnotherapy oriented). Not sure why, but I searched her out again last month. Now I receive her daily quotes. This is the one I received today - and it really hit home; made me sit up and say 'AHA'!
The process
of weakening a false thought is a little like losing
a baby tooth; at first, you may only feel a tiny bit
of “give,” a slight wiggle away from rigid belief and constant
emotional pain. But as the mind turns its energy to dis-proving a
painful thought, rather than proving it over and over again,
the wiggling becomes more pronounced. You feel freer and freer,
until one day you forget you ever believed something
that is now obviously untrue.

For quite some time, I've been trying to find a simple way to explain how Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy is such a fantastic tool........ and there it is. It's a technique that an be used to weaken a false or limiting thought, and just as importantly, replace it with a new, positive and more empowering thought. It comes down to choice - and when we realize we can choose what we think; that we can choose to change what we think - well that changes everything.
Thank you Martha Beck!
