Hello Beautiful,Sharon,

Are you taking life, and yourself, too seriously? I know, I do sometimes.

The little frustrations, “why me?” moments, endless to-do lists, others' bad moods, and the big things that need to be solved, can take away my zest for life.

But if I take time for the pauses, throughout the day- a cup of tea on the porch listening to the birds,  self-hypnosis or yoga stretch breaks, a hike in the mountains with my dog, or sitting quietly enjoying my cat on my lap, these things can powerfully shift my day toward lightness and joy.

Science shows that taking pauses like this creates perspective shifts that improve mood, reduce stress, and even boost problem-solving.

Studies on mindfulness, brief nature exposure, and slow, conscious breathing demonstrate reductions in cortisol (the stress hormone), improvements in heart rate variability, and increases in attention and working memory.

For example, research from the University of Illinois found that even a 5-minute nature walk improves focus and cognitive flexibility.

Taking a walk, stepping outside, listening to music, or just pausing for a deep breath helps your brain reset.

Hypnosis meditations and self-hypnosis breaks work in the same way. They train your mind to stay calm, focused, and flexible, rewiring how you respond to stress and challenges. With regular practice, you can release negative thought patterns, ease tension in your body, increase clarity and confidence, and bounce back from life’s curveballs with ease, grace, and even a sense of joy.

Today, try one small, science-backed shift:

• Pause and watch one of my Instagram videos of a flowing river or creek. Take deep breaths and notice how your body and mind relax.

• Take a one-minute self-hypnosis break on my SvensonHypnosis YouTube channel to center your mind, calm your nervous system, and refresh your focus.

• Enjoy a 20-minute or less  hypnosis meditationFor a deeper reset of your nervous system and to override reactive patterns of thinking.

“There is no greater gift than feeling good in the now moment.”
