Is It Time to Change Your Life?
Do you feel your life has got
stuck in a rut that you feel you'll never get out of? Are you sick and tired of
the same old routine, day in, day out, your life a ceaseless drudgery? Perhaps
not. But, if this resonates with you, read on…
Of course, routine can be a good thing and we all need some kind of routine, otherwise life would be chaotic and potentially dangerous. We need some semblance of what is going to happen in order we can plan ahead. But it’s when this routine takes over and begins to make you unhappy that you realise something must change. Have you ever said to yourself or a close friend or partner ‘there must be more to life than this?’
You may have said this if you are in a job that makes you unhappy. You yearn for Friday night but dread Sunday night and the prospect of going to work on Monday. It may be a high-pressure job with its constant demands which cause you stress and undermine your confidence.
You may be in an unhappy relationship but because it has become a way of life you are frightened of changing it. This is particularly so of people who have been in a job or in a relationship for several years but are unhappy. ‘Ach, you’ve just got to get on wi’ it’ is an oft-used phrase. But you don’t. You can make the changes to your life which will improve it and make you happier than you are now.
Too much predictability can cause long-term damage to a person’s thought process. You feel trapped, stuck in a rut, feeling as if there is no escape. You do the same things every day, see the same people every day, stick to the same routine every day. There is nothing to stimulate you, nothing you find challenging. Yet, you dream of a new, different life, one which doesn’t necessarily have to be exciting but which is different to the tedium you are experiencing now.
Okay, I hear you ask, how can you change your life for the better? Well, firstly, you need to decide what it is about your life you want to change. Do you wish you could speak out more at work? Feel the demands of your job are too great but you daren’t say anything to your manager?
Perhaps the stressful nature of your job means you comfort eat. Possibly because you don’t have enough time during the working day to eat properly, you find yourself gorging high-fat, convenient food when you get home. ‘Ach, it’s been a hellish day, I’m going to have a chippy for tea’ I’ve been there myself but now my extra-large tee-shirt lies crumpled in the drawer…
Perhaps you feel stuck in a relationship that has been going nowhere for years but you feel it’s too late to change now so you have to put up with it. There’s the kids, the mortgage and the dog to think about. Fair enough. But perhaps you’re one of those people whose children are now grown up and have flown the nest and you still feel trapped in an unhappy relationship…
Or have you been smoking cigarettes for more years than you care to remember and now feel the effects this has on your health? If you’re like me, a fifty something, and have grandchildren, do you feel you can’t do the physical activities with them like you used to do with your children all those years ago? I don’t smoke but I know several people who do and wish they could stop for the sake of their health, their children and their grandchildren. My father died very suddenly nearly twenty years ago. One day his heart just stopped working and that was that. A year before he died he told me his GP wrote a prescription slip and passed it to him. It read ‘stop smoking’. My father tried but didn’t succeed. He was 58 when he died.
So, what to do?
If you’ve read this far and are nodding in agreement, then good! However, it’s not easy to change your life just like that, especially when you’ve been stuck in the same routine for several years. But there’s a solution. It’s a matter of coming to terms with what you’re doing with your life – and what you would like to do with your life. Change doesn’t come easy. It requires effort. But I can help you make the changes to bring out a happier life. And we could all do with more happiness in these troubled times.
Hypnotherapy can bring about the changes to your life you want – and possibly even need. Hypnotherapy can help you look at your life differently and guide you to think of doing things differently, in a way which will benefit you. Yes, you. Hypnotherapy can help your life take on a new sense of purpose and make it exciting again.
Firstly, you need to know what changes it is you want to make to your life. Once you do you can contact me and together we can discover the tools and techniques that will bring improvement to the quality of your life – and bring happiness and contentment. Life is too short to accept what we’ve got if we’re unhappy with it. Change for the better is all about you. When you discover the tools to make those changes then your hopes for a better life can be fulfilled.
Hypnotherapy can be applied to a wide range of medical, dental and psychological problems. Areas of application include anxiety and stress conditions, weight control and addictive behaviours and self-esteem and confidence issues. It is also used to enhance performance in several areas such as sport and public speaking.
Hypnotherapy gives you time for one of the most important things in your life – you. With relaxing techniques tailored to suit you, you will feel calmer, more relaxed and have a better understanding of your life, needs and aspirations as well as others.
Contact me today to arrange an appointment. After a no obligation, initial consultation, we can decide together the best way to enable you to achieve your goals. A consultation meeting is just £10 - and if you decide to proceed with hypnotherapy this £10 is deducted from the cost of your first session.
Sessions cost £60 each. For smoking cessation, it's £95.

Goodbye Hill Street - Hello Craiglockhart
So, farewell then Hill Street. It's been an
exciting six months running my practice from the heart of Edinburgh but today I
moved out to relocate my business to Craiglockhart.
From 1st February 2017, I shall be based at the Craiglockart Campus of Edinburgh Napier University.
My existing clients are happy to see me at my new premises - with the exception of one. But the reason client RC is not visiting me in my new abode is because he has almost reached his target. He targeted losing three stones in weight five months ago. Today, he has lost more than two stones and is ready to complete his epic journey on his own (although I've told him he's welcome to contact me at any time.
He has been a major success story. He has tried many methods to lose weight - all kinds of diets. Some worked for a week or two - but he then put the weight back on.
Now his unwanted habit of snacking has been replaced by healthier habits. And he looks and feels so much better.
So if you are someone who wants to replicate RC's story and lose some weight, or if you want to stop smoking, cut back on alcohol – but find your willpower evaporates after a few weeks – or if you are someone who has a phobia (for example, fear of spiders, rodents, flying) - contact me today to arrange an appointment. My website and email address is below - you can leave a message on my mobile phone at any time, day or night.

Depression Isn't Just Being a Bit Sad
Mental health issues are very much in the news at present. The Prime
Minister, Theresa May, has spoken about her government tacking these issues,
creating a ‘shared society’ and creating a ‘fairer and stronger Britain’.
Fine words - but the more cynical among us will wonder if anything will
really be done to tackle this major issue. After all, old habits die hard.
Mental health issues, including depression, affect nearly a quarter of
the population. In Scotland, that is over a million people. That’s a staggering
statistic. Yet, for too many employers there remains a stigma attached to
mental health. How many times have you heard someone at your work – possibly
your manager – sniping that so-and-so isn’t coming into work because they’re
‘depressed’? (sometimes accompanied with a gesture of tapping their fingers in the
air in a derogatory fashion)
Depression is often misinterpreted as ‘just feeling a bit low’. But
those who experience depression know it’s much more than that. The low mood can
feed feelings of anxiety and of everything going wrong. This isn’t just ‘having
a bad day’. For those who wake up feeling the same way every day, depression is
something which can seem to never go away.
There can be feelings of despair, feelings of helplessness and of
feeling worthless. You may recognise some of these phrases:
·
I’m just not good enough.
·
Nothing ever goes right for
me.
·
I would be out of my depth.
·
There’s just no point.
·
I’m just not going to
bother.
When these feelings occur day in, day out, week in, week out, it can
lead to serious mental health problems.
So, what triggers feelings of depression? Everyone is different so
depression can affect someone for any number of reasons. It could be due to a trauma
such as the death of a loved one, the break-up of a relationship or the loss of
a job. It could be an incident or situation from the past which can lie dormant
for years but then suddenly rise to the surface. Or it could be feelings of
guilt over something someone believes was their fault.
But feelings of depression don’t need to have a trigger. I had a client
who told me he can cope better with life when he has a specific worry or
concern as this issue focuses his mind and he can concentrate better. He told
me it’s when things are generally going okay at work, his relationship with his
partner is good and his family are fine that his feelings of depression come –
his ‘dark clouds’ to quote him direct.
Then there’s the huge expectation placed on us by the nature of today’s
society. In this internet dominated, instant communication, constantly
demanding world there are huge expectations placed on many of us. There is huge
pressure on people to be successful, to make something of their life, to develop
new skills in an ever-changing world. When our phone rings we immediately
answer it. We surf the net constantly, we scour social media websites often
looking for recognition and approval of status. Sometimes, I think it would be
good to travel back in time to a period before mobile phones and the internet,
before society demanded so much from us. It seems life was so much simpler then
although it probably wasn’t – it just seems that way.
When people find it difficult to cope with these demands they can feel
overwhelmed and feel they can’t cope. This can be a breeding ground for
depression and other mental health issues. And when they feel they are unable
to seek help or perhaps don’t want to seek help for fear of being seen as
‘weak’ this can compound the issue. A feeling of being unable to cope can lead
to feeling worthless and feeling fatigued. It’s much much more than being ‘fed
up’.
Hypnotherapy can help to change ways of thinking. It can replace
negative thoughts and habits with more favourable thoughts and feelings.
Negative thinking can be habit-forming - and hypnotherapy can change your
unwanted habits. It can strengthen your confidence and, in turn, increase your
self-esteem. Your feelings of worthlessness will recede and gradually you will
have a new view of your life.
Hypnotherapy can take away unwanted feelings and help you run your life
the way you want to. Through carefully created, bespoke scripts devised by a
fully qualified hypnotherapist, it can replace your negative habits with
positive ones. You are not ‘put to sleep’ like hypnosis stage shows. You are
awake and fully aware at all times. You are in control and you will never do
anything you don’t want to do.
If you are experiencing any of the above feelings and are looking for a
holistic approach to resolving your unwanted habits, please contact me on the
contact details below to arrange a consultation meeting. I will answer any
questions you may have and you can then decide if hypnotherapy is for you. Many
people have contacted me and have changed their lives for the better.
You can too!

What They're Saying About Mind Generating Success
“I’ve lost two stones in just four months. Hypnotherapy has changed the way I think about food. I no longer eat when I’m not hungry. When I have supper at home I quite often don’t finish what’s on my plate. My wife wonders what she’s done wrong but she’s done nothing wrong. It’s just I’ve reached the point I don’t need to eat just for the sake of it. It’s the same when we’re out for a meal. The waiter will come over and ask if everything is okay. I say ‘of course it is. It’s just that I’m no longer hungry. And, no, I don’t want to see the dessert menu!’
‘Hypnotherapy has changed my outlook on food. I no longer have an inclination to eat chocolate just because it’s there.’
‘I must say Mind Generating Success has been brilliant and so supportive. If you’re like me and are serious about losing weight – and nothing else has worked – try hypnotherapy. It really does work’
Client RC, Edinburgh
‘Hypnotherapy is braw! I used to snack all day at work and when I got home after work I would choose the lazy option and phone for a pizza or a fish supper. I don’t any more, not because I’m forcing myself not to – it’s just I no longer want to. My food habits have changed and even when less than helpful colleagues at work bring in bacon rolls for everyone I find I don’t want one – despite the aroma of bacon filling the room.’
‘I’m consciously not weighing myself but I know I have lost weight because my clothes are too big for me. More importantly, the way I think about eating has changed and it’s changed for good. Hypnotherapy has definitely changed my life for the better.’
Client RN, Midlothian
‘I had an eating disorder for thirty years. I had seen psychologists and specialists and nothing worked. Until I saw Mike at Mind Generating Success. Hypnotherapy has worked after just four sessions. My disorder no longer affects my life in the way it did before. My friends are astounded by the change in me. I can’t thank Mike enough.’
Client TF, Edinburgh
‘I’ve smoked for twenty years and it’s been a habit I couldn’t break. I have tried nicotine gum, patches, the lot. Nothing worked. I went to see Mike at Mind Generating Success more in desperation than expectation. After one session of hypnotherapy my urge to smoke decreased remarkably. Although Mike told me one session is often enough, I opted for a second session - and I haven’t looked back. It’s been astonishing and people can hardly believe it when I tell them. The cost of two sessions is less than £200 - and when you consider I was spending not far off of £3,000 a year on fags then it’s money well spent. And, of course, there are the obvious health benefits of no longer smoking.
If you’re serious about giving up the ciggies, you should definitely contact Mike at Mind Generating Success’
Client NP, Midlothian
'Hypnotherapy has done wonders for my self-esteem, particulary at work'
Client JL, Leith
If you are someone who wants to lose some weight, stop smoking, cut back on alcohol – but find your willpower evaporates after a few weeks – or if you are someone who has a phobia (for example, fear of spiders, rodents, flying) - contact me today to arrange an appointment. My website and email address is below - you can leave a message on my mobile phone at any time, day or night.
Fees are: £60 per session. For smoking cessation it’s £95 – this is usually done over one or two sessions.
Consultation meetings are £10 – and if you decide to proceed with hypnotherapy this is deducted from the cost of your first session.
If you would prefer a home visit, I would be happy to arrange this subject to a suitable environment free from distraction.
Take the first step to changing your life!
