💚 World Mental Health Day: Small Steps Toward a Calmer Mind

World Mental Health Day is a lovely reminder to pause and check in with ourselves. How are you, really?

So many of us push through stress, overwhelm, or low mood, telling ourselves we’ll slow down later, when things are quieter. But often “later” never comes. Mental health isn’t just about fixing problems; it’s about caring for the mind day by day, so we can think clearly, sleep well, and enjoy life more fully.

Why Little Steps Matter

One of the most empowering things I’ve learned (and what I share with my clients) is that small, consistent actions can have a huge impact on how we feel.

When we do something that boosts our wellbeing, like going for a walk, spending time with a friend, or celebrating a small win, our brain releases positive chemicals such as serotonin. Over time, this builds resilience, confidence, and a more balanced mood.

The Brain-Based Approach

In Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, we look at how the brain works when we’re feeling anxious, stressed, or low and how we can help it shift back into balance.

When the primitive part of the brain is overactive, it tends to focus on danger, problems, and what’s gone wrong. The intellectual part, meanwhile, helps us feel calm and think rationally. Through positive conversation and gentle trance work, hypnotherapy helps quieten the primitive mind and strengthen the intellectual one, making it easier to cope with life’s ups and downs.

Taking Care of Your Mind

Looking after your mental health doesn’t need to be complicated. It can be as simple as:

• Taking five minutes of quiet before you start your day

• Writing down three things that went well

• Moving your body in a way that feels good

• Reaching out for support when you need it

Even the smallest steps can start to shift how you feel.

If You’re Ready for Change

If you’ve been feeling stressed, anxious, or stuck in unhelpful patterns, hypnotherapy can be a gentle, supportive way to move forward. You don’t have to relive the past- we focus on where you want to be, and how your brain can help you get there.

I offer a free initial consultation, so we can talk about what’s been going on and how Solution Focused Hypnotherapy might support you.
