One percent better

 


I came back from holiday in Cozumel at the end of last week and we really did have an amazing time, although it didn’t exactly go to plan! We had decided to take all of our dive gear with us (I had even bought a new wing especially for the trip) despite the fact my back was really sore. Since getting flu in January and coughing so much I hurt it quite a bit, it seems one injury turned into another and another. For those of you reading this who are aware of how emotions can affect your body, let me tell you this knowledge has not been wasted on me and I fully appreciate how this has manifested!!! However, back to the story…. Knowing how sore my back had been, we decided that we would take all of the equipment with us, however should my painful back not improve, we would not let it bother us if I really wasn’t up to it. 

Fast forward to the trip there…. OMG, it was not for the faint hearted! We arrived in Cancun and had to stay on the mainland until the following afternoon where we took the ferry to Cozumel. Getting to the ferry with 3 big cases and our cabin luggage was nothing short of traumatic with a bad back. The taxi dropped us off and the driver said we had to walk up to the ferry terminal. It was BOILING hot and we dragged our cases through the cobbled streets of Playa del Carmen. We dragged them uphill to the ferry terminal then had to put each case through a scanner. I was dying I don’t mind telling you! Then we dragged them down the ramp and had them checked in on the ferry. About an hour later, collecting said cases and dragging them all on the other side! So I wasn’t exactly in the best shape by the time we got to the hotel.

We had a couple of days before going diving so we really relaxed and I tried to protect my back as much as I could. However, the morning we were supposed to go I knew once in the water I would probably be OK but the boat part of the day just wouldn’t be possible. True to his word, Graeme said no probs let’s just chill out instead. I was so annoyed though and thought about how this was now 4 months of back pain and I wasn’t putting up with it another day. I had seen a mobility program online that I really liked the look of and so decided to buy the course. It required you to start with photos and videos of your current mobility so that’s what I did at the hotel gym the next day. I am quite flexible and managed to do the required deep squat with not much effort at all however some of the moves (especially hand stand) left a lot to be desired. Unfortunately in my eagerness to fix everything I gave myself a new piriformis injury  (which meant I was limping around Cozumel for the remainder of the holiday), however I won’t be deterred and I have spent since then, every single day, doing exercises that I CAN do, to get me in a routine. I am fortunate to be the type of person who is very motivated in almost everything I do, so I am chipping away bit by bit. One thing that she says on the course though is, “Aim to be one percent better than you were yesterday”. And that is one percent better than YOURSELF… don’t look at what anybody else is doing, only care about beating yourself by 1% from the day before and when you get to a year you will be 365% better. I loved that and thought yeah… 1% is easy. Even on a bad day you can be 1% better than the day before!!!! 

So, I have incorporated this into absolutely everything in my daily life since then… Eating 1% cleaner, working 1% more conscientiously, being 1% kinder and more thoughtful, working out 1% more diligently… and so on and so forth. 

I have lots of exciting plans ahead and I’m really looking forward to everything. I have spent a lot of time training for my own Quantum Healing Hypnosis business and I am finally getting to the point where I am seeing results from all of the work and time I have put into it over the last year. Learning a new modality that is not necessarily from a spiritual point of view has been amazing too. I appreciate that some people don’t want to dissect and talk about their problems, so I really wanted to become qualified in something to help people who feel like that, and I am at the final stages of my course for that too so it is all very exciting. And as long as I make sure I am 1% better than I was yesterday, what more could you ask? ❤

Journeys and shadows

Image
  It’s been quite a hectic week! At home we decided to redecorate a bedroom (and have more or less done it now), my latest QHHT session was a long one and took me forever to type up, and my day job has been non stop as my colleague is on holiday so I’m on my own this week with lots and lots of clients! I go to bed at night and it’s like I’m in a coma. I dreamt I was stood over someone snoring and afterwards when I woke up I wondered if it was my husband Graeme or could it even have been ME that was snoring and it then filtered into the dream! 😆 Whilst wallpapering I reflected on the journey I have taken doing QHHT. I am very impatient and can be guilty of ignoring the journey because I feel the need to get to the destination yesterday! QHHT has been completely different.. I have enjoyed the slow pace of it. It’s a subject you can’t hurry and a journey within itself so it has been a pleasure to take that path. Looking back I’m always in a hurry to finish one project or another, how...

Apparitions through the veil

  This following blog I have been given permission to write from the client I saw this week. It is a very sensitive subject but she is more than happy for me to share this information with you. I will keep her name anonymous as usual. So for 3 nights before my QHHT session with this lady I was having very vivid lucid dreams. This is not unusual… I will dream about an upcoming session for around 75% of my clients. At first I always think the dream is about something in my own life (because of course, dreams are your subconscious mind trying to tell you something in an abstract sort of way) so you can often find me wracking my brains at 5.30am trying to decipher what it all means. And for those of you thinking a good dream book is all you need, sometimes it isn’t… If I dream of a black cat I think it’s good luck because I love them, another person fearful of black cats and the connotations that invokes within them, could mean a totally different thing! So my dreams involved a house. ...

Changing beliefs

Image
Life has been very busy. I’ve been doing a lot of sessions for people (all weekend and every weekend), and I have also been doing some training in other modalities of quantum hypnotherapy. It’s been very interesting and I have found as time goes by, my belief systems have completely changed. I suppose that’s a good thing, wouldn’t life be boring if we were stuck in the same place thinking the same thing all of the time? After doing a QHHT session a few months ago for a lady (when my iPad wouldn’t work and I felt a coldness on my right side throughout the appointment), I was asked numerous times by different people  had I asked the lady in question if the energy attachment had stayed away following her hypnotherapy? I don’t tend to get in touch with people afterwards unless they contact me, so I hadn’t messaged her, however one day as I was on my way home from work after watching a video about entity release, I felt compelled to contact her. To my disappointment the energy (although...
