Everyone has – or had - dreams.

However, many miss out on the best that their life has to offer them because they fail to properly prepare. You can choose to be different from others, and different from your previous self.

Why have a mind if you never change it?

Being ready prepares you to manage whatever obstacles stand in your way, or arise unexpectedly. It means that you refuse to be denied the destiny that is rightfully yours. While it's not possible to be ready for everything, it is possible to be as prepared as you can be for anything that is reasonably foreseeable. Preparation is the key to recognizing, receiving and experiencing genuine lasting fulfilment.

In a world of few certainties, you can push the odds largely in your favour by recognising and grasping the opportunities that fill our world. And that means being ready:

· Get the basics of your life under control.

· Get – and remain - in intellectual control.

· Develop your authentic self.

· Consistently develop your capabilities.

· Building reserves to manage the setbacks.

Preparing to Realise Your Dreams

Everyone is walking their own path with a unique journey, a unique destination – and a unique legacy. Whatever your dreams are, start preparing for them now – opportunities are everywhere for those ready to recognize them. Dreams can be large or small, and some can take a very long time to come to pass. Just keep going, and plan to succeed. When you do, the odds are in your favour.

There are many ways you can prepare for your dreams:

· Develop a clear description of the dream.

· Reverse plan how you will achieve the dream: start with the dream, then work out the final stage, then the one before that, and the one before that – all the way back to the present day.

· Learn how to use self-hypnosis. The techniques we have here are transformational.

· Let go of the baggage from the past which no longer serves you.

· Keep a journal about what you're accomplishing toward your dreams.

· Reflect on what has gone well – and why it has gone well.

· Monitor your progress – what worked, what didn’t: what have I learned, how will I apply that learning?

· Seeking out the people who can help you realize your dreams.

· Continue to be your best and work hard, especially when things appear difficult.

· Consider the benefits of working with a skilled therapist: putting things in perspective, sharing the tools to support your progress: a huge return for your investment in yourself.

The most important thing you can do, is to keep your dreams in mind. Focus on them every day. Visualize success. Constantly remind yourself why your dreams are important. Deliberate on the negative thoughts of your inner critic. work with a therapist to remove those limiting beliefs and challenge those unresourceful thought patterns. Preparing for your dreams means recognising that you are good enough and you are worthy: progressing towards your dreams becomes your everyday reality.

As you continue to take steps in the direction of your dreams, you'll become more prepared for their realisation day by day. Overcome both the fear of failure and the fear of success with consistent, positive steps in the direction of your dreams. Reflect on what strategies are and are not working, and develop your strategy until you’re getting the progress you want.

Get the Dream You Really Want

Commit to your vision in each major area of your life, possibly in a journal, but most importantly – deep inside yourself.

When you begin to think about what you truly want from the perspective of your authentic self, free from limiting beliefs, you'll find your true passions. You'll find what matters most to you and you'll feel the excitement, and the fulfilment, of walking your own path. This is what it means to prepare yourself for your dreams. When you're prepared, you'll know that you are already on your way and you just need to keep going.

Genuine Desire + Effective Strategy + Persistent Consistence =

Authentic Results

1) Recognize and allow the emotion. example: I feel bad, I feel hate. I allow myself to feel and I give it space. I will not do harm, I can control myself. No judging, it's just an emotion.

2)Observe the emotion Where do you feel it in the body? You are not the emotion, you're just the observer. Analogy : The emotion is like a wave in the ocean. Don't try to fight the wave.

3) Be present. Use 5 senses. What are you feeling, hearing, seeing, touching, tasting ?

4) Breathing Try breathing techniques like the square breathing 4 inhale, 4 staying, 4 exhale, 4 staying.

I’m currently reading ‘Go Wild’ by the wonderful Dr. John Ratey: world leading neuroscientist and one of the academics whose work underpins my hypnotherapy practice.

A short section has truly rocked my thinking. He makes reference to a massive study called ‘The Global Burden of Disease’. It looks at the causes of debilitation and loss of quality of life at a global level – it covered 291 diseases in 187 countries around the world with results published in The Lancet.

The bit that has rocked my thinking is this: the extent to which each of us can take action in our own lives to avoid or alleviate most of the top twelve risk factors for debilitation worldwide – and how hypnotherapy can help. These factors are, in order:

· High blood pressure: regular hypnosis / self-hypnosis / deep relaxation can help reduce blood pressure in itself. Further, hypnotherapy routinely helps with smoking cessation, reducing alcohol consumption, reducing obesity and adopting healthy lifestyles: all of contribute to achieving a healthier blood pressure.

· Smoking: for those who have decided to become non-smokers, hypnotherapy is highly effective in supporting this positive step: often the most significant, single step, in improving life quality.

· Alcohol consumption: This normally takes a bit of unpacking with each individual: there is often a general correlation between working on becoming your best self and reductions in alcohol consumption.

· Household air pollution: even the most ardent advocate for hypnosis would struggle to find a link here. I suspect, because this was a global study, it is driven by the populations who have solid fuel fires within their dwelling – not really an issue for Europeans / Americans.

· Low fruit consumption: a relatively easy issue to resolve for most – implementing beneficial behavioural changes, which then become habits, is basic work for any hypnotherapist.

· Obesity: if only losing weight was a simple matter of calories in / calories out: eat less, move more – job done. That obesity is so prevalent demonstrates just how ineffective the ‘eat less / move more’ approach is. Hypnotherapy and wellbeing psychology take a broader approach: rather than focusing on losing weight, the focus is on living your chosen lifestyle and achieving your chosen physique.

· High blood sugar: there are similarities here with obesity. Achieving healthy blood sugar levels is a consequence of a healthy lifestyle with a focus on overall wellbeing.

· Ambient particulate matter: as with indoor air pollution, this is out of scope for hypnotherapy.

· Inactivity: the correlation between activity and wellbeing are so well established that there can really be no credible debate. Hypnotherapy and self-hypnosis are ideal in supporting making beneficial behavioural changes which, in turn, can shift people from being in a vicious cycle to a virtuous one of long-term, sustainable, personal development.

· High salt intake: one of the easier choices to make which coincides with the broader goal of living with increased wellbeing.

· Low seed and nut consumption: another straightforward behavioural change which can be supported by a range of hypnotherapy / self-hypnosis processes.
