Barb Davies | Hypnotherapy & Counselling
You have goals, wishes and dreams, yet you can't seem to achieve them no matter what you try. Something is holding you back from feeling happy and living the life you desire. I used to feel that way too.
When I realized my subconscious beliefs and habits were to blame, I set out to change them. In doing so, I changed my life very quickly. I want to help you to change yours too.
Why is your subconscious so important?
Your subconscious mind is millions of times more powerful than your conscious mind, the part you are aware of.
95% of ALL our behavior is governed by subconscious programs or patterns we developed mostly in childhood by observing our parents and others. This determines our personality, our beliefs about yourself and our potential, our habitual behaviours and subsequently, our results in life.
Our thought patterns are a habit. The emotions we feel every day are a habit. Our response patterns are a habit. Our behaviors are habits. Letting our fears prevent us from doing what we want to do is a habit. These habits can keep you trapped and miserable.
The good news is you learned those habits at one time, and you can easily learn new habits any time by learning how to work with your subconscious mind to gain greater control over your thoughts, beliefs, emotions and behavior.
Learn how to tap into your inner power and wisdom, change your mind and become the best version of You.
