Listening to Yourself: The Power of Tuning In
Have you ever stopped for a moment, taken a deep breath, and truly listened to yourself? Not just the surface-level thoughts but the deeper knowing inside—the part of you that already has the answers.
Let’s try something together. Sit up straight, feet flat on the floor, close your eyes, and take a deep breath in. Hold it for a moment… and release. Now, one more time—breathe in, and let it out.
Now, ask yourself a simple question, and instead of thinking about the answer, feel into it. Whether the answer is yes or no, notice how your body reacts. Does saying yes bring a sense of joy? Does saying no bring relief? That emotional response is a clue—your intuition guiding you toward what’s right for you.
How Much Stress Are You Carrying?
Many of us carry stress without realizing how much it weighs us down. The mental energy spent worrying, the anxiety over decisions, the tension of trying to control every outcome—it adds up. But imagine if you didn’t have to carry all of that. What if those hours spent stressing could be redirected toward something meaningful—a new career, personal growth, or simply more peace in your life?
Breaking Free from Self-Imposed Pressure
We often push ourselves into situations because we think we “should.” We stay in jobs, relationships, or commitments that no longer serve us, believing we have to see them through. But here’s the truth: if something no longer aligns with you, you have permission to let it go.
When we truly listen to ourselves, we open up space for change. We stop wasting energy on things that drain us and start investing in what fulfills us.
A Simple Grounding Exercise: 4-7-8 Breath
If stress and overthinking are clouding your mind, try this simple 4-7-8 breathing technique to reset your nervous system and quiet your thoughts:
1. Inhale deeply through your nose for four seconds.
2. Hold your breath for seven seconds.
3. Exhale slowly and completely through your mouth for eight seconds.
4. Repeat this cycle four times.
This technique naturally slows your heart rate and brings your body into a relaxed state. When your mind is calm, your intuition speaks louder.
Hypnosis: A Path to Clarity
If you’re ready to break free from stress and align with your true path, hypnosis can help. As a hypnotherapist, I guide people through this process, helping them release limiting beliefs, build confidence, and find clarity. If you’ve worked with me before as a massage client, know that I can still support your journey—just in a deeper, more transformative way.
I’m now offering free 30-minute discovery calls to explore how hypnosis and energy work can help you. Let’s chat and see what shifts are possible for you.
