Yesterday I did an hypnosis session with a client, some guy with lots of anxiety that have experienced some panic attacks. After we finished he looked so calm and I ask him how he felt, his answer was quite powerful, he said: “My mind is empty” while looking really peaceful. Its worth noticing that before we worked he was tormented by images of loved ones having pretty violent experiences.
When he told me that his mind was empty, I felt really good for him and thought to myself I want the same for me. In the past that kind of good results from clients made me feel bad for myself and led me to question why cant I have the same thing… whats wrong with me.
Now on the other hand I could honestly feel good for the guy and in wonder appreciate the benefits of experiencing the same kind of effects in my life.
Thats exactly the kind of perceptual shift Im working on having in my life. Focusing on joy, learning, playing and growing, focusing on what else is there to be discovered and enjoyed.
