What many people don't realise, is that our ability to focus affects our overall sense of wellbeing. A scattered focus degrades our wellbeing and a sharp focus enhances it. So follow these six steps to help you improve yours.
ONE:
Recognise what’s happening to you.
Recognise that every time you go on your phone corporations with gargantuan influence have a vested interested in stealing your attention and they will make it so compelling that you don’t even know it’s happening. Basically if you’re not on your phone, they can’t target you with advertising or influence, so they WANT you on your phone and they will make it incredibly enticing. When you feel yourself getting sucked into a rabbit hole that is numbing you out, just yell at yourself to STOP. Remind yourself what your values are and then ask yourself is mindless scrolling in line with my values or against my values? Now go and do something that is IN LINE with your values, even...
And that is exactly what addictions do right? They keep you shackled, they keep you bound, they keep you stuck, they stop you from reaching your true inner potential. There are many kinds of addictions too. Maybe you’re addicted to sex but want to have a meaningful relationship, maybe you’re addicted to sugar but want to kick metabolic syndrome, maybe you’re addicted to work and lack friendships , maybe you’re addicted to your own ego but want to be more self less and kinder to others, maybe you’re addicted to drugs and alcohol but want to be free of all of that.
In essence, the addiction will always block the potential. Addictions keep you disempowered and small and they never work because they can never satiate you. An addiction will never satisfy you that’s why you need more of it each time - that’s how they work, that’s how they have their power OVER you. So, if an addiction was...
What is it that you want to change? Do you want to change your eating patterns, lose weight, think better thoughts or fearlessly get out of your comfort zone?
No matter what you want to change, follow these rules of the mind and this will help you.

Any internal issue you have in your life like depression or anxiety (even if it's something you don't want) GIVES you something and your mind thinks you need it because your mind does exactly what it thinks you are asking you. Let's unpack this. Your subconscious mind is like the most unbiased butler. It does whatever it is told. But the butler takes his cues from your unconscious mind OR your super conscious mind. Your unconscious mind is the mind of protection and fear and it's where all of your experiences are stored including your childhood. Your super conscious mind is your mind of boundless opportunity and it's where your creativity, your imagination and your intuition comes from. ...
If you want a therapy that works, try hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy is becoming one of the worlds most sought after therapies because of its ability to work deep into our conditioning and affect change very quickly.
I call it a no nonsense therapy. It gets right in there and right out again.
In today's episode I had the pleasure of talking to a fellow hypnotherapist about the profound work we do.
Sonia Samtani is CEO of the All About You wellness centre in Hong Kong, she's 2 x TEDX speaker, published author and NLP trainer (and of course, she's a very busy hypnotherapist).
In today's episode of The Menopause Mindset Podcast we discuss:
Conclusions that we come to about ourselves based on the messages we received.
The importance of asking why [why = wisdom].
Identifying the triggers that result in a cascade of negative thinking.
The difference between regression therapy and suggestion placement therapy.

Many people try and medicate menopause away with HRT and whilst, in many cases HRT really does help to get us back on track, there is a deeper message behind the menopause transition that often gets overlooked. In this episode I'm going to help you peel back some of the layers to enable you to gain a much deeper understanding of what menopause is trying to tell you, to enable you to emerge out the other side feeling reborn.
This is for anyone curious about taking a wider, more holistic view of menopause.
In this episode you will learn:
Black and white thinking around health, nutrition and weight loss is outdated, outmoded and redundant. If you think it's just a case of finding enough will power to stick to a diet, then, my friend, I'm afraid you're set up to fail.

So if you're ready to 'play in the grey', come join Tanja and me!

How do we become resilient to the challenges of menopause? Do we do nothing and let it overtake us or do we actively participate to become more adapted to this challenging phase of our lives?
The most helpful narrative I've come across is to be primed and ready for menopause as much as we can in order to avoid the massive pitfalls of ill health that can occur at this time.

Controlling how you decide to show up in the patriarchal world as a menopausal woman, is really up to you.
You do know that YOU get to decide don't you? In some countries, that choice is taken away, so if you DO have the choice, honour it and use it wisely.

If you're curious about the place inside of us where the mind and body come together, then look no further than the fascinating subject of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.
When we take a look at MCAS what we're REALLY looking at, is the junction between the immune system and the nervous system.
Fascinating though it is, symptoms of MCAS can be incredibly annoying and often difficult to make sense of, and to top it all off, at menopause we become a little more susceptible to our Mast Cells becoming agitated leading to this pick and mix of symptoms.
My guest today is Tracey Reed who is the co-founder of Histamine Haven along with Luka Symmons. She is a Certified Holistic Nutritional Consultant, an instructor at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition and the recipient of the 2018 Clinical Excellence Award.
