Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life!

One of the things I help anxious clients do is Cognitive Restructuring — changing the messages they're giving themselves. Anxiety causes a lot of the following: what-ifs, worry, expecting the worst, and general negativity.

Why Your Thoughts Are So Powerful

The problem with negative thinking is that research shows the messages we give ourselves on a regular basis are powerful. Our brain does 2 things with them: it starts to believe them, and it makes them come true.

So, if you tell yourself constantly that you're not very good at your job and you're going to get fired any day, you start underperforming. And you may do it to the point that you're actually let go.

If, on the other hand, you regularly tell yourself that you're a great team player, you have really good ideas, and you're a hard worker — that's what starts to happen. And this one gets a much better outcome.

The Point Is This

The messages we give ourselves are important. Our internal dialogue shapes our performance, our relationships, our mood, and our results. What we repeatedly think, we tend to become.

This is why cognitive restructuring and subconscious reprogramming — including through hypnosis — can be so transformative. When you change the messages running in the background, your behavior naturally changes too.
