“The kindest cut of all” is a saying in gardening. I was reminded of it while tending to my grapes: the fruit will not set on old stems but rather, requires a hard trim of the old growth, if the plant is to produce abundant fruit. In preparation for the rebirth that is spring, some old stuff had to go.

A quick google search will get you many other applications of this phrase, it is a “ripe” metaphor for “letting go” (pardon the pun).

Because there is a wisdom is releasing the old, in letting go of the things not serving you TODAY.

And you might be surprised at some of the old things that can quickly be released from your unconscious mind…

“The kindest cut of all”, makes room for something new, something intentional (rather than chance), and something abundant.

Lots of people have some degree of social anxiety, that uncomfortableness we feel when faced with new people and new situations. We will discuss some of the challenges but more importantly, share some ways to overcome social anxiety through traditional and hypnotic approaches. If all goes well, we will have 2 exercises, a pre and post, to demonstrate the power of focused awareness, accessing resource states to create instant rapport with others.

120 pounds lost-over a 5 year period.

It began with her walking, painfully and slowly to her mailbox everyday, then twice a day…. Then a walk to the end of the street, then the entire length of the street, then walking it twice a day.

Today, she can be found walking briskly miles from her home. A big smile on her face.

This began as a way of getting a break from daily work, and addressing the serious health complications of her obesity. It clearly wasn’t much fun at first.

Now she cannot imagine a day without it, and the positive results extend well beyond the weight she has lost.

You see, we keep doing what we are doing, until the day we decide that just does not work anymore. You do not have to wait until it hurts, and it doesn’t have to hurt before you change.

Our FREE MEETUP this month may well set you up for a momentum in a new direction. At “Loving Exercise with Hypnosis: Hypnosis and Health”, we will talk about the natural and learned resistances to changing our health care habits. We will also share some strategies that make it easier to integrate new habits, including the use of hypnosis to re-pattern unconsciously held beliefs about exercise.

What if moving your body…even challenging your body… becomes a joy and a lifelong habit you cannot imagine ever living without?Join us: https://www.meetup.com/TampaBayHypnotherapy-Community-Group/events/263488692/
