I have always felt like everything was harder for me than other people and my belief was affecting my life totally and completely. A big part of my work involves networking and I could not get the motivation to regularly attend events and socialize with new people because of the stress and anxiety that I felt around it. I rarely enjoyed what I was doing because I was always thinking about what I should be doing or how I could be do something else better. I felt a lack of control over my problems and it was incredibly frustrating. I was obsessed with thinking about it and at the same time felt unable to change.
I've tried willpower, discipline, having others keep me accountable, consciously modeling behaviors, and working with coaches and mentors. At best, I could expect a few days of improvement and then lose the motivation and just let it go.
I heard about A New Day Hypnosis on cityofaustin.com. I've been using hypnosis for other health-related purposes since early childhood. Even with someone who is very experienced with self-hypnosis, there are some problems for which you cannot quickly drive your own change, so I decided to get help from someone else. In a matter of hours after the first session I noticed that interacting with other people had become trivially easy. I also noticed that my stress level was a lot lower and muscular tension in my body was suddenly gone from my life.
I'm much more relaxed and focused now. I have a greater sense of control because it's so much easier doing things without my conscious mind interfering. I feel more confident and I'm more willing, ready, and enthusiastic about going into social situations. My office is tidy and organized. You can actually see desk space now and it's no longer distracting for me to work there.
It doesn't get any easier than this; I haven't even noticed that I'm changing because it's been so easy. The most important benefit I've received has been that I'm really starting to feel for the first time in my life that the light at the end of the tunnel is not a train and that the tunnel itself is very short. I'm getting to a place where the hope is realistic that I can achieve what I've set out to achieve and I can be who I feel like I should be.
I've recommended A New Day Hypnosis to others because it's easy and if your time is worth anything at all, the number of hours you spend struggling with something and wasting time are cheap by comparison to any fee. I'm confident that I'm free of my problem permanently because I can barely remember having a problem in the first place.
