Get rid of anxiety for good in 2017!

If you have been living with anxiety for a long time, it can be hard to imagine that things will ever get better. You may even have started to accept that there are some things you will never do, certain things you will never have, despite your dearest wish.

But, take heart. Because it really doesn’t have to be this way. And you can take the first step, today!

Recently, I wrote about some simple methods you can use to reduce the feelings of anxiety, whenever they are triggered, ranging from breathing techniques to being mindful in the moment. This is helpful advice when anxiety threatens to overwhelm you. However, it will not eliminate anxiety in the long-term.

To dissolve anxiety for good, we need to get to the root of the problem.

At some point in the past, maybe so long ago that you have since forgotten all about it, you experienced something which taught you to be fearful of certain people, things or situations. This event lives on in your subconscious mind, forming a fundamental part of the person you are now, and which continues to affect you in the same way, every time. Because it is in the subconscious part of your mind, it doesn’t matter how many times you tell yourself to "get over it": Your conscious mind just cannot overwrite embedded subconscious beliefs.

However, this is not the end of the story. The best news for the New Year is that you can finally decide to get rid of your anxiety for good and all you have to do is make the decision to get in touch with a hypnotherapist.

A skilled hypnotherapist will use hypnosis to reach beyond the barrier which stands between your conscious and subconscious mind, helping them to work together to achieve the same aims and beliefs. Where once you may have thought it impossible to go for that job interview, attend that social event, start a new relationship, or believe in yourself to do just about anything, hypnotherapy will get to the heart of the problem so that you can become the person you want to be, anxiety-free.

Sometimes wishes do come true. Make 2017 the best it can be, with the best version of you.
