It’s all about perception. Consider this little anecdote about a young woman who woke up one morning and noticed she had only three hairs on her head. She said, “I think I’ll braid my hair today.” She did, and she had a great day.
The next morning she woke up and saw that only two hairs remained on her head. She said, “I’m going to part my hair today.” She did, and she had a really fun day.
The following morning she awoke to only one hair on her head. She said, “I think I’ll wear my hair in a ponytail today.” She did, and her day was wonderful.
The next morning she awoke to find that she did not have a single hair on her head. “Yea!” she said. “I don’t have to fix my hair today!” And her day was divine.
How did this young woman cope with her loss and the unexpected changes happening in her life? She did not mourn all the hairs that were missing. She didn’t question why. She didn’t feel lack. She didn’t judge the beauty or the value of the hairs. Instead, she made a different choice. She did not cry or become angry. She considered her options and made another choice. She adjusted to the changes she observed. She did not resist or deny them. She chose to allow things to be. She released all attachment to the past. She lovingly accepted herself. And she lived every day of her life in eager anticipation.
What is your perception of your life? Is the world a place where bad things are happening to you? Or is it a place of love and beauty where all your needs are met? It’s what you think about and focus on. Either you focus on what you want…or what you don’t want. You choose to see the opportunity rather than the challenge.
Your mind is constantly in motion. Thoughts, impressions, memories all vie for your attention. You focus your attention on what you believe to be true. This focus creates your perception of the way things are…your own version of reality or your own truth.
When you pay attention to your reality, you become more aware. This awareness will change your focus which may change your perception. When you change your perception about a situation or a problem or an opportunity, it changes your thinking. You imagine things to be different. And since your thoughts create your beliefs, you change your actions to better serve your beliefs. And when you change what you believe to be true, you change your reality. You make different choices.
Hypnotherapy helps you to create a new and improved model of your truth which creates a new way to be. You are creating your reality moment by moment. You are always in control. You choose the focus of your thoughts. You choose your reality. And you have an amazing day!
