Self-hypnosis & meditation aren't the same, but they do share some very profound similarities in their abilities to reduce stress, improve health, and slow the effects of aging. Just think of someone you know who has been through trauma or a stressful period of their life. Have you noticed how the experience aged them? Meditation & self-hypnosis slow the aging process because they can reduce stress & even reverse the process.
So how does it work? In part, it reduces cortisol, one of the stress hormones released during the stress response. Cortisol can have many negative effects including weight gain and even a decrease in skin elasticity.
When stress triggers the fight or flight response, cortisol is released to protect us from predators. It's a survival mechanism that works by getting into our skin so if we are attacked by a predator, we won't be so tasty. Meditation & self-hypnosis reduce cortisol and flood you with bliss chemicals that give you a youthful glow.
Another anti-aging benefit of self-hypnosis & hypnotherapy is better sleep. The phrase "sleep on it" refers to the very real way your body rids itself of stress while you sleep at night. Practicing meditation or self-hypnosis during the day, allows your body to use that time for stress relief so that at night you can use sleep time just for sleep. And when we are well rested, we both look and feel better.

Feeling scared or helpless whenever you turn on the television or scroll through your socials? I feel you, it's been so difficult to process everything and it’s all starting to get to us. The first step when these feelings start to come up is to remind yourself, that in this moment you are safe and everything is OK. Mentally step back and say to yourself, I am safe, and everything is OK. Know that you cannot control what is happening in the world, but you do have control of your mindset and the ability to shift your emotional state.
It also may be helpful to switch off the news. It's good to stay informed, but not at the expense of our mental health. Our brains don't know the difference between imagination & reality. And we watch images of suffering, we feel it too. There are things we can do. For example, we can donate to aid organisations or see how we can volunteer in the community. When we are doing something positive for others we feel better. Watching bad news passively just feeds that sense of helplessness.
Remember your breathing. Did you know that by simply observing and focusing on your breathing can help shift your emotional state? Breathing consciously gives you back control and in 7 exhalations in about a minute's time, you can trigger the relaxation process. Try this:
Take a breath. Sense your belly rising. Now release that breath naturally. Notice how it flows in. Now out. Begin counting from 1 to 7.
✨1, inhale, belly rising and expanding
✨1, exhale, belly releasing and relaxing
✨2, inhaling, belly rising and expanding
✨2, exhaling, belly releasing and relaxing
✨ Continue counting with your body’s own natural breathing rhythm
If you lose count, start again at 1. Do this until you reach the count of 7.
I hope some of these tips speak to you, but if it's starting to feel like anxiety has become a constant companion, please get in touch through the link in my bio and let's see how I can help. https://linktr.ee/judiquirke

Happy Sunday y'all! (As a native Kentuckian living in the UK I just really miss saying "y'all" 😆).
Anyway, a very happy Sunday & just a little reminder to make sure you get a little rest today.
Sunday is a good day to start as we tend not to have as many obligations, so start today - and keep it up all week! If you can prioritise just 15 minutes a day of YOU time, just to do NOTHING, you will feel so much better for it. It helps your mood, decreases the perception of chronic pain, & can even improve your immune system & cardiovascular health.
So think about making a NOT to do list 😉:
✨ Go outside
✨ Be by yourself
✨ Read
✨ Listen to music
✨ Do nothing in particular
✨ Take a walk
✨ Have a bath
✨ Daydream
✨ Meditate or self-hypnosis (shameless self promotion, you can try one of mine - link in bio 😉)
Whatever you choose, I hope you have a lovely and restful Sunday, and are looking forward to a little bit more non-doing this week 😊.
❤ Judi Q

Happy Twosday! 2/2/22!
Did you know...
Today, 2/22/22 is a palindrome, (reads the same forward and backwards), it's on a Tuesday, and we won't get another date like this in 200 years.
Fun facts...
In numerology the meaning of the date 2/22/22 is all about connections and coming together—not just in one-on-one pairs, but among larger groups and communities. Some say it's a particularly good day for manifesting your dreams.
I sort of think everyday is a good day to manifest your dreams, but hey, let's not take any chances 🙂
