Hello, Beautiful Sharon,

"You were designed to be happy and have life work out for you. Do your part, be willing to look for the softer lighter perspectives, be flexible in your thinking, and do things differently if it works better and gives you more of what you want."  

The Joy Energy

Look for perspectives that don't close you off and make you grumpy.

Instead look for the perspectives that bring you relief, and lead you to more well-being.

For instance, one client's grown kids weren't able to be with her during the holidays. She felt lonely, left out of the holiday joy, and hurt by her adult kids.

When she let go of fixating on how she thought things should be and was willing to see things more softly, she was able to work with the reality she had and move forward from there.

In the session, I asked her to look for good memories and feelings about her kids.

She went to memories of holidays when they were together and she took time to appreciate those memories. Her body started to visibly relax and I could feel the tension leaving her.

From this softer lighter place she admitted all her kids had invited her to visit but she felt uncomfortable traveling.

She said she wasn't ready yet, but thought at some point, she might be open up to the possibility of letting go of her travel fears with my help in hypnosis. Yay, she was opening up to more possibilities.

Then we explored ways she could have what she wanted for the upcoming holiday. As we got to the heart of things, she discovered she wanted a connection with her kids, a sense of celebration, and a feeling of contributing.

She decided she would schedule a time to talk with all her kids on that day, go to a community meal, and make some pies for it.

Some fears came up about going by herself and sitting alone. So we explored different ways she might sit alone and still feel connected. And then in hypnosis with her permission, I suggested the possibility of being open to sitting with others, whether they invited her to join them or she asked if she could join them.

By the time she left the hypnosis session, she was feeling good and had a joyful anticipation for the upcoming day.

In the end, she enjoyed Facebook calls with her some of her kids and grandkids that day and enjoyed connecting with the others later in the week.

She ended up having a lovely time with her neighbors who invited her over to celebrate with them. And she said the pies she made were a big hit.

By shifting her perspective she was happier and got everything she had wanted. Yay!

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