Ah, Halloween! The ghosts, the ghouls, the specters, the trick-or-treaters and… that song! I just heard the Monster Mash playing through a car window and boy, did that bring back some memories of past Halloweens! I remember one time in particular I had dressed up as a vampire and was spending the night at a [...]

Full hypnosis download Don’t take things personally
This is something I have tried to do: not take things so personally. Don’t get me wrong here; it’s great to be able to take feedback about yourself, especially if you calmly and objectively assess that a) the feedback is valid, and b) it is actually something that you [...]

So two people have died in a shooting at the University of Central Arkansas in the States.
Déjà vu?
Why does this kind of thing happen?
Random shooting (if that is what this one is) seems mystifying at first, but, as with all human behavior, there are quite comprehensible psychological processes at work.
‘Violence expert’ Gavin de Becker is [...]

Full hypnosis download Death of a parent
Losing a parent is never easy. The shock of finding that someone who seemed eternal and ‘timeless’ - as if they would somehow always be there –has now gone can feel overwhelming. Even if their passing away was expected, it takes time to adjust to not having them around [...]

The underappreciated yet powerful art of living with uncertainty

Full hypnosis download Living with uncertainty
Children can enjoy uncertainty: ‘Tell me! Tell me! What is it? I can’t wait to unwrap it! Tell me!’ The not so enjoyable side of uncertainty translates more into: ‘I must know… why isn’t he speaking to me!’ … ‘what is going to happen’… ‘if this audience will like me’… [...]

SAT scores, the College Board and relaxing with not knowing
Published by October 23rd, 2008 in hypnosis-downloads. 0 CommentsI was talking to an extremely nervous young man on the phone today. He said he couldn’t bear the wait for his SAT scores and was having trouble sleeping and even eating. Clearly, he needs to calm right down!
SAT scores can give students some sort of gauge as to how they are doing, but can [...]
Palin clothes: That wardrobe, the US economy and why looks matter
Published by October 22nd, 2008 in hypnosis-downloads. 0 CommentsIt seems Sarah Palin is under fire for having spent $150,000 on clothes. According to John Aravosis over at AmericaBlog, Palin has spent more on clothes in two months than the average American household spends in 80 years!
That does seem like a lot of money, but image works.

Full hypnosis download Be more frugal
Living well, now there’s an idea. What do we mean by that? Having what we want, when we want it? Or controlling impulses and greed and only having what is necessary? ‘Living the good life’ can mean different things to different people. One thing is for sure: being frugal, knowing [...]

Full hypnosis download Stop seeking approval
When we can only feel okay if we feel ourselves to be okay in the eyes of others, then we effectively give up control to them. Constantly looking to others for approval, to validate ourselves and trying continually to ‘people please’ is exhausting, self esteem damaging and depressing. Why? Because [...]

When I was fifteen (a little while ago now!) I regularly competed in track and field. I recall one high jump event in which I found myself in the position of taking my third and final attempt at a height which was way higher than anything I’d jumped before. [...]
