I have suffered from an overall lack of self-worth, self sabotage, stress and anxiety my whole life, but since the birth of my child eight months ago, the issues had become more acute. I just felt like I didn't have any control over the way that I was feeling; I was spiraling and I couldn't get out of the negativity and self-sabotage. I felt like crap, I was tired and moody, I didn't feel good about myself, and I was unmotivated. When you don't feel good about yourself as a person and you don't love yourself, it's hard to give to your relationships. It was affecting my marriage, my ability to be a good mother, and my ability to be a leader at work.
I've tried self-help books and they have given me good insight and understanding, but they are harder for me to implement because I'm really stubborn. I tried some therapy a few years ago and worked through a lot of issues, but I was going to appointments twice a week for two years. I believe that people waste a lot of time going to therapy. I know that it works for some people, but I was looking for something more intense and direct that would make lasting changes. I was just tired of feeling the way that I was feeling and I needed some help to get past it.
I heard about A New Day Hypnosis on Google. I did hypnotherapy for both of my births, so I didn't have any concerns about using it again. I felt better after the first session. I had hope that I could get past all of this and it felt good to be able to get it out and talk through the problems that I had been facing.
After a few weeks, I noticed that I had more motivation to exercise; I had more energy and a more positive outlook. It's been pretty easy for me, the environment here is good and it's just been really helpful.
I don't binge eat anymore. I drink more water and I'm more conscious about all of my decisions. I am more aware of the negative self-talk and find it easier to stop myself when it happens. I am sleeping better and I am able to focus more and get a lot more done in my day.
My husband has noticed that my overall attitude is better and I'm not so up-and-down emotionally. My mom said that she can tell by the way that I carry myself that I am feeling better and they have both commented on the improvement in my productivity.
I feel more in control. I take responsibility for the things that I truly have control over and that makes me feel happier. I feel more confident in my abilities as a business owner because I can lead the team and I am more confident in my marriage because we are communicating better. I am taking better care of my appearance and I feel more confident about how I look.
There have been a lot of benefits in this process. I feel empowered to make the right decisions and more motivated. I am more patient with myself and others and feel confident that I can get myself out of a rut if I need to in the future.
I would recommend A New Day Hypnosis to anyone who wants to overcome stress, anxiety, and a lack of self-worth because I feel confident that I can stand up for myself now and set good boundaries. I understand now that I can't do it all, and I am aware of my limitations and feel okay about them. I think that hypnosis is an effective tool and it has helped me to have more clarity and a better understanding of myself.
