First off, there is nothing wrong with being alone.

Some people need a lot of people around them. Some people need a few people around them and some people can do just fine (and actually flourish) being alone.

Is there something wrong with not having friends?

Many people think there is something wrong with them if they are alone most of the time.

For many people, learning about the introvert and extrovert dynamics give them a lot of freedom to be okay with who they are.

Even if you may not put a lot of effort into building friendships doesn’t mean that you don’t value or care about other people.

It may be hard to find people that understand that.

If you haven’t taken the test, you can get a basic overview of your personality type by taking this introvert extrovert free online test.

I feel that knowing yourself and what makes you tick is a key to happiness and mental wellbeing.

Do you feel alone? What are the benefits?

Do you feel unhappy being alone or not having friends?

I’m sure society or your family can make you feel bad about it… but what do YOU feel deep inside?

Being around people does not mean you will be happy. How many people do you know are frustrated or complain about friends or family that they are close to?

That can be very unhealthy.

There are a lot of really mentally and emotionally unhealthy people. So it’s important that YOU are as healthy as possible.

Getting to the bottom of being alone

Sometimes we can have underlying issues, traumas or fears that prevent us from getting close to someone.

Some people suffer from anxiety related issues and they find being around people makes their anxiety worse.

It can also be a matter of having a painful childhood or a feeling of being rejected as a child.

You may feel perfectly happy being alone and living your life for you, but struggle with loved ones opinions of your choice.

Hypnosis brings balance and benefits to being alone

Hypnotherapy is relaxing and natural. Not only will a good hypnotherapist help you through your childhood or life’s challenges, they can teach you self hypnosis so you can continue on a path of wellbeing.

Hypnotherapy and self hypnosis is one of the best ways to help you get to know yourself.

The fact is that we are all multilayered.

There is no one size fits all answer to how healthy being alone can be. For some people, it is an amazing freedom filled life. For others, it could be lonely and isolating.

Many people say hypnosis doesn’t cure.  They also say homosexuality is not something to be cured.  I will go out on a limb and say that homosexuals should seek out hypnotherapy.

Some of my homosexual clients have felt this was like a cure.

Hang with me here... Read the entire article to see why I say this.

If you are homosexual, I want to ask you 2 questions…

• • How much trauma have you had to deal with in your life because of your sexuality?
  • What pain, suffering, non-acceptance, rejection and hatred have you endured?

How did the idea of using hypnotherapy to cure being gay first come about?

Back in 1963, Peter Roper published his research in the Journal of the National Medical Association

Let’s do a little time travel.

Homosexuality was considered a mental illness in the 1960's.

Because of this, Peter Roper decided that in order to cure homosexuality, full emotions should be enacted. He imagined that if the homosexual patient felt disgust, resentment and aversion during trance then they would reject homosexuality.

Taking from Pavlov demonstrated conditioned responses in dogs; Roper felt that using aversion therapy could cure homosexuality.

Pavlov’s Dogs Can’t Be Used As A Basis For Homosexual Therapy

Before you learn about the results of Roper’s studies, let me let you in on what you may not know about Pavlov’s dogs.

Pavlov's dogs made their mark in psychology. But they should have been more famous for their physiology NOT psychology.

A Pavlovian response is physical, not a psychological reaction.

We now know a lot more about Pavlov today.

Pavlov was a cruel person. Openly prejudice, he often mocked people.

According to Daniel P. Todes in his biography, “Ivan Pavlov: A Russian Life in Science” (Oxford), Pavolv was not the man that history portrays.

In fact, Pavlov's work is based on basic misconceptions and inaccurate translations.

You may remember learning in school about the Pavlov’s dog that salivated at the ringing of the bell.

However, Pavlov “never trained a dog to salivate to the sound of a bell.”

Pavlov would remove a dog’s esophagus and create an opening in the animal’s throat. Despite what the dogs ate, the food would never make it to the stomach. It would fall to the ground instead.

Pavlov continued to create more cuts along the dog’s digestive system and collected the various digestive secretions.

He measured their quantity and chemical properties in great detail. He won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1904.

Here’s the problem… dogs are not humans. The intellect and emotions in a dog are fused together. They are separate in a human.

The very thought of curing homosexuality is abusive

Abuse will change the very nature of how something acts or reacts.  And Pavlov’s studies were not natural.

What most people believe that Pavlov proved was conditioned response.

Conditioned response to food and cigarettes has some therapeutic benefit in modern day psychology.

But not with sexuality.

Hypnosis is known to sensitize and accelerate conditioned response. In the case of alcoholism and nicotinism, the author developed procedures whereby the odor or taste of an alcoholic beverage or of cigarette tobacco would be sufficient to trigger a marked aversion reaction.

Roper attempted to create aversion reactions to sexual desire for the same gender. He worked to create an anticipated disgust, displeasure and dread in the patient.

WTF

Despite Roper's published research, you will not be able to find studies on the success of changing homosexuality into heterosexuality though.

Why?

Even in Roper’s own experiments, his aversion therapy only lasted weeks.

Which means, it didn't work.

You really won’t even find any hypnotist that will support this. You can find extremist people or groups that use fear and misinformation to base their opinions, but not scientific data.

Radicalism is not evidence of success.

I hope you already know that there is NOTHING wrong with you because you may be homosexual. (Or bisexual, gay, lesbian, queer, transgender or transsexual.)

I use hypnotherapy to help my clients release the trauma and pain caused by other people’s opinion about homosexual.

This allows them to live happier and freer by lessening the impact of other’s ignorance.

This is the “cure” that my clients have reported. It’s not a cure in the traditional sense.

A cure is a substance or treatment that cures a disease or condition.

Stress, anxiety and trauma are factors that bring on diseases and create debilitating conditions.

Homosexuality does not need to be cured

Anxiety, stress and trauma can be addressed, lessened or cleared.

Hypnotherapy can help you feel more comfortable with who you are.

For best results, find someone trained in clinical hypnotherapy that you feel comfortable to perform the therapy.

And trauma release is most effective when you trust your therapist.

People experience anxiety joint pain every day. The joint pain can be severe enough that it affects day to day activities.

When it comes to Joint pain and anxiety, it is just as much mental as physical. The pain is real. It can be hard to control and even harder to live with.

How Anxiety Joint Pain Are Linked

Do you think that you have anxiety? Does it seem like your joint pain is worse when your anxiety levels rise?

Anxiety and joint pain have a complex co-existence. Anxiety causes a ripple effect in your body that created the perfect environment for inflammation…

And pain.

Causes of anxiety joint pain include:

Muscle Tension   Anxiety causes tension and stiffness in your muscles. When your muscles stiffen, your joints are forced to work harder. This extra work causes inflammation and more paint.

Impacting Movement   Anxiety can cause muscle tension. It can change the way you act, sit, stand and even move. You may find that you have to adjust the way you sit or lay in bed at night.

The changes you make can put extra stress on your body and create or make the pain worse. Think of it this way, your body has been used to being in certain positions and moving a certain way for a very long time. Any changes to that will cause irritation.

Stress InflammationThere is a reason that doctors tell someone that is struggling with disease to reduce stress. Stress causes inflammation. When there is inflammation, the body cannot heal. Anxiety has been proven to cause long-term stress. This inflammation can be hard on your joints.

Immune System Problems   Both stress and anxiety can lower your resistance to infections and viruses. People are often sick during and right after the holiday season. With the holidays comes extra stress and anxiety for many people.

People often feel more swelling, pain, and achiness in their joints when they are sick. If you can usually tell you are coming down with something because your joints, neck, or back begin to ache or hurt a little more, you may suffer from anxiety joint problems.

Perceived Pain   If someone is healthy, they may find there are times when their back or joints hurt a little bit more. This is common and related to how they slept or the position they held their body in the day before. However, when you are experiencing anxiety, you may be less tolerant of the pain levels.

What you may be able to normally ignore, for the most part, could be a constant reminder on a bad day.

Anxiety heightens your awareness because it has engaged your fight or flight response system. Just like a deer hears every sound, you feel every twinge of pain in a heightened way.

Even though the pain may be the same level you have been experiencing, your tolerance for that pain is lower.

Anxiety Triggers Joint Problems

Negative Self Talk  Thinking negative thoughts or talking bad to yourself all falls under negative self-talk. When you focus on what is bad or could go wrong, this can cause anxiety trigger. Even if you are a realist, know that this could be adding to your anxiety

Caffeine and Poor Nutrition   It is hard to eat the way we need to when we live in a society that is focused on food and advertising food. Caffeine consumption and inadequate nutrition will stress your body and mind. Things won’t just roll off as easily as they could.

Anxiety can affect the foods you eat, hormones and how your body functions as a whole.

Alcohol   One of the great dehydrators, consuming alcohol can lead to body stress, which will have an impact on your mind later.

Poor Sleep   Sleep is a necessity. Without it, your body stays in a state of stress and inflammation. It is easier to become stressed and feel anxious when you are tired or exhausted.

Stress   Worry, low-grade stressors, bad environment, unhealthy situations, and unhappiness can impair your ability to deal with stress. Stress is real and prevents your body and mind from being able to heal.

Fear Trauma    If you’ve ever been in a traumatic or even a bad situation, it is natural to dread and even fear being in that situation again. This puts you at risk for anxiety attacks. Your body doesn’t know the difference between you feeling the trauma because of your thoughts or actually experiencing the trauma.

All of these triggers can inflame your joints. Joint pain and anxiety can be complex.

Overcome Anxiety Causing Joint Troubles

Joint pain is still something you have to deal with, no matter what the cause. With any health issue, it is best to see your health professional to rule out any life-threatening causes.

Many people turn to OTC pain relievers. While this may give some relief at first, they seldom give long-lasting relief.

There are natural remedies that can help support your body like MSM, Glucosamine and even Rescue Remedy for anxiety.

These natural supplements have helped ease the symptoms of many people living with pain.

Stretching can help, especially if you alter the way you sit, stand, walk and sleep due to your joint pain. This can help keep everything loose instead of tightening and causing more stress to your joints.

Reducing Anxiety to Fight Joint Pain

If anxiety is the cause of your joint pain, the best way to control your pain is to control your anxiety.

Until you control your anxiety, your joint pain will continue to have a negative effect on enjoying your life.

TL;DR Don't want to read this, watch this video on "Why you can't force yourself to do what you need to do."

Even though you know what you should do, you just can’t. Right?

Procrastination is a lie. It’s a made up word that we really don’t understand. It leaves you feeling like a failure and powerless to complete or achieve something.

It’s also easier to blame procrastination than to actually follow through.

For the sake of ease of reading, I am going to call not doing something you need to do "procrastination".

Why Procrastination Is A Lie

Procrastination is not a fear of success or a fear of failure. Sure, we all have this to some degree, but it is not enough to hold us back from doing simple tasks.

There is something deeper going on. Finding this out will help you to finally be able to do what you need to do to change.

Procrastinating has 3 parts to consider

The first: self deception. It’s easier to not live up to someone’s expectations. We’d actually have to show up in life. For many people, that is a major commitment that ties into the second part of procrastinating.

The second: Achieving or finishing something is a means to an end. Maybe consider that your task that needs completing isn’t actually your dream situation. You have to do something to make more money, but whatever it is that you are doing, is not your dream.

Yes, you want more money but your avenue to get it is not your dream. This is your subconscious telling you that the reward is not worth the work.

Self reflection overcomes procrastination

Self reflection is important. Most people follow a path that is not their dream path, but it sounds good. It sounds interesting for a time so they start down that path, even though it is not their ideal situation.

Life coaching can not only help you figure out what you don’t see, it will help you get on a path that will not lead to procrastination.

The third: Your environment. You are the sum total of the people you are surrounded by. Are any of these people who you want to model your life after? Don’t discredit what a powerful influence your environment has in achieving your goals and dreams.

When you are headed in the right direction for you, you wake up excited to be able to do whatever that thing is. Working on that will be as needed as food and sleep for you. It becomes a necessary part of life to you.

Hypnosis helps to get your mind right very quickly and easily. It will set in new success patterns, while dissolving old, unhealthy patterns. This is all done with ease while you are relaxing and releasing stress.

Hypnotherapy could be the one piece missing for your success.

TL;DR if you don't want to read this post, listen to this video of "LGBTQ life | Why Holding Your Girlfriend’s Hand May Not Be Safe" now.

The new stress of the LGBTQ lifestyle

The privilege of touching, kissing, or being watched by other people does not exist. Even in 2017. It is exhausting to have so many small moments stolen – all the time.

The strides that we thought were made with Obama’s legislation protecting the LGBTQ community have suddenly become blurry. When Donald Trump became president, things backtracked for the LGBTQ community.

While the legislation was still in place for same sex marriages, life became scarier. Not because of any possible legislation changes. But because of some of the people that were Trump supporters.

With Trump as head of our country, people began to feel safe in not only their hatred, but also expression of their hatred.

The scrutiny gay people are under

For the first time in awhile, people began to stare at the same gender holding hands or expressing affection for one another in public. Even in cities where same sex relationships are more common, the LGBTQ people came under scrutiny once again.

A same sex relationship is not just a relationship now. Some people now view it as a political statement.

Women are spit on for being in public with their girlfriend. Graffiti now litters the LGBTQ center in Los Angeles. Death threats frequently are posted on social media channels of the LGBTQ people, as they are becoming targeted and trolled.

What used to be silence about the LGBTQ+ lifestyle now has people freely expressing their hatred. And it is scary.

Everyone has a right to feel safe

One thing is for certain for many of the LGBTQ community; they have a hard time feeling at home in our country when it is impossible to relax.

Hypnosis won’t change the outside world. But what it does do is help to change your inside world. You can feel more safe and calm in an unpredictable and chaotic world.

Feeling calmer allows you to enjoy the little things about your relationships. These are the moments that no legal system, group or person can take away.

If stress, worry, depression, or anxiety gets the best of you, call me. I can help bring to a place of center and balance. Being happy in the face of adversity and enjoying YOUR life are the highest forms of revenge.

Angry Outbursts - Do you freak out over little things?

He says he loves you. But you also know that one day he won’t be able to handle it anymore, who would?

There are things you can do to calm down in the millisecond of the anger madness.

It’s easy to blame someone but not so easy to take responsibility. Owning the fact that you know your flare-ups aren’t right, is a step in the right direction.

There are so many people that don’t own it and this becomes a cause for relationship failure. Imagine someone wronging you but not being willing to truly say, “I’m sorry”.

You may not be an angry person

Your anger may have to do with impulse control. This could be more of an aspect of your personality than a relationship flaw.

Just because you act a certain way does not mean you are powerless to change it.

You can work on this.

Alone, it will be long and frustrating. If you use hypnosis, the process will be easier.

Behaviors like acting and reacting become ingrained in our brain. They become second nature. This makes habits difficult to break.

Habits are difficult to break but not impossible

Whether you work with a hypnotherapist or not, try this to handle those outbursts:

What are your triggers? What do you feel?

If you know your triggers, you can use relaxation exercises to calm down and stop the impulse to freak out. Try taking some deep belly breaths. This helps to oxygenate your brain and allows your logic to come on board.

Your outbursts do not mean you are an angry person. Don’t let them define you.

TL;DR Here is a short video of this blog post, “Bio Hack Your Mind | How To Be A Morning Person In 5 Easy Steps” in case you don’t want to read it.

Are mornings difficult?  Blame your genes

Sleep is a big reason why people feel either groggy or refreshed, but it’s not the only factor. Dr. Joseph Takahashi, a neuroscience professor at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at UT Southwestern Medical Center, believes there is a genetic factor too.

Dr. Takahashi says, “Humans show incredibly wide variation in sleep need and in preferred wake-up time and bedtime.”

Being a natural morning person may be in your genes. If this isn’t in your genes, there are ways to become more of a morning person - no matter what your genetics say.

5 ways to make mornings less groggy

•  Sleep with your blinds or curtains open. If you can’t, make sure you expose yourself to bright light as soon as you wake. Instead of grabbing for your phone to check messages, open the blinds and soak up the sun.

You can also purchase a natural lamp that mimics daylight as a second best option.

•  Don't sleep with electronics. In fact, turn them off one hour before going to bed. The blue light from your phone will decrease the amount of melatonin (sleep hormone) and make it harder to get restful sleep. It can also make it much harder to be alert first thing in the morning.

•  Wake up early on the weekend. I know. I can hear you groan from here. When you sleep in on the weekends but wake up early during the week, your biological clock becomes confused. This also leads to the groggy, “I hate mornings” feeling.

Make a habit of going to bed and waking up around the same time, no matter what day of the week it is.

•  Shake up your breakfast. Some foods that are heavy in sugar or refined carbs will keep you dragging. Instead of bagels and cream cheese, opt for as much protein that you can get.

You don’t want to eat carbs with protein.

Eat an omelet with loads of bacon, and coffee with unsweetened whipping cream but skip carbs.

Or make yourself a smoothie and pack in the fresh fruit and greens, but avoid traditional protein sources or adding sugar. This will keep you feeling light on your toes and your mind ready to work.

•  Hack your brain. Bio hacking is a definite trend that is just starting to become popular. You can hack your body and your mind to preform the way you want it to.

One way to biohack YOU is to use hypnosis. Programming your mind before you go to sleep - to not only sleep soundly but to wake up refreshed - is a powerful technique used by many people.

Program your mind

Like anything, you have to create a habit out of doing self hypnosis every night before you feel the full benefits.Put an end to zombie mornings with easy to use hypnosis.

Professional hypnotherapy offers you the fast track to waking up refreshed and ready to start your day.

You may have been married and find yourself divorced but still believe in a happily ever after. You can have it but avoiding certain situations will make your quest easier and more fun.

Here are 7 Warning signs you should pass him up

•  The crazy ex. If he says all his exes are “crazy”, know he’s not the one for you. Sit down with someone and listen to his history.

The story they tell is like a crystal ball of your probable future with him. If he blames everything on his exes, don’t expect that he will take responsibility. You will end up the bad guy.

He could also be the crazy one that stirs up drama. Do you really want that at this stage in life?

•  Is he ghosty? Ghosting is what happens when someone just disappears out of your life without a trace. If he is hard to get ahold of, dodges your questions, or cancels with you, he’s not good boyfriend material.

•  It’s all about sex. He pressures you to have sex but you aren’t sure if he actually likes you. Having sex with someone will not make them like you more; no matter how good you are.

Being used for sex can leave you feeling empty. If you want substance in life, make sure he really likes you first.

While sex is important, it doesn't make a bad relationship good.

•  Noncommittal Nathan. If he doesn’t want anything serious, but you do, it probably isn’t a good match. Everyone thinks they will be the one that is different.

Movies and romance novels lead us to believe that if we are really good to someone, they will leave their single life and never look back. Reality is different. Make sure you are at the same stage in life.

•  He’s clingy and not trusting. There is a difference between clingy and smitten. On the trusting issue, his past traumas probably run deep.

It’s not about you. It’s about him. Until he deals with the past, he will project those feelings of insecurity onto you making your relationship a roller-coaster ride.

Adult relationships are about thinking with the head as much as the heart.

•  He’s a friend’s ex. They weren’t meant to be, but maybe you two were. You have to think carefully here.

Is this worth losing a friend over and possibly having a very messy situation to deal with so early on in your relationship? Hardships strain even the strongest of relationships. It could be the kiss of death for a new one.

•  He’s not about safe sex. Remember the opening paragraph states that dating can be like a wild, wild jungle? That jungle could be teaming with STDs. STD rates have hit a record high in the USA.

If he cares about you, he will make sure protection is a priority. You don’t want to sleep with all the people he has slept with early on.

What are you worth?

You deserve a man that has your best interest at heart. Sometimes finding the right relationship means getting your own self in order. You’ve been hurt and you carry baggage too.

There is a simple way to release baggage to start each relationship you have new. Hypnosis is powerful in helping you become all that you are – before you try to find the ONE for you.

Fact: In the USA, the LGBT+ people are targeted for hate crimes – more than any other minority group.

TL;DR Here is a short video of this blog post, “The World's Views On Same Sex Marriages Are Changing” in case you don’t have the time to read it.

Same Sex Marriage Legalization Around The World

Do you know the first country to allow gay marriages? The Netherlands.

In 2001, other parts of Europe followed the lead of the Netherlands. It took until 2015 before the United States allowed legalized marriages between LGBT couples.

In Argentina, you can marry your partner.

While in Singapore, it is illegal for men to have sex with other men. But the law is not enforced.

As the spread of awareness happens, more countries are allowing people to have a choice in being able to legally marry someone of their same gender.

Last year brought a lot of right to the LGBT community. Greenland joined the list of legalized marriage. And in May of 2016, Colombia allowed Jose Manuel Ticora and Diego Fernando Quimbayo to become the first gay couple to exchange legal vows.

Belize ruled that a criminal code banning gay sex was unlawful.

Countries That Allow Gay Marriage

As of today, same-sex marriage is legally recognized (wholly or in part) in the following countries:
•  Argentina
•  Belgium
•  Brazil
•  Canada
•  Colombia
•  Denmark
•  Finland
•  France
•  Iceland
•  Ireland
•  Luxembourg
•  Mexico
•  Netherlands
•  New Zealand
•  Norway
•  Portugal
•  South Africa
•  Spain
•  Sweden
•  United Kingdom
•  United States

While we’ve seen headway where Gay Marriage rights are concerned, a struggle remains.

Gay rights have swept Latin America. It has overcome religious and cultural beliefs to have found a strong hold in many Latin countries.

Spain legalized gay marriage in 2005. Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and some parts of Mexico followed. Despite the legalization, gay people sometimes face extreme violence in the more remote areas of Latin America.

While 5 Mexican states have legalized gay marriage, an attempt to make gay marriage a federal right was defeated.

A lesbian girl in Mexico City was caused so much grief over who she was, that she left school. While in school, Yoalli Lora, was ordered to wear her hair in a more feminine manner, not to touch any other girls and she could only use the bathroom if a school staff member accompanied her.

In 2015, she protested outside the school gates. The school eventually apologized to her.

The Dark Side of the LGBT+ Fight

Even though 64% of Australians favor legalizing gay marriage rights, the legal rights remain unavailable.

Russia has decriminalized gay sex, in 1993, but tracked back and introduced a law in 2013 banning the promotion of what the parliament calls “non-traditional sexual relations”.

A whopping 72 countries still have criminal penalties for consensual gay sex - despite positive attitudes towards gay rights.

These 10 countries have a death sentence for men caught having gay sex:
•  Iran
•  Afghanistan
•  Saudi Arabia
•  Yemen
•  Somalia
•  Sudan
•  Mauritania
•  Nigeria
•  Qatar
•  United Arab Emirates

Uganda Lesbians Under Attack

In Uganda, “Corrective Rape” is reported to still be happening to Lesbians. Lesbians are not afraid of the law, but of the attitudes and the Ugandan mob justice.

Uganda holds the most draconian anti-gay laws in Africa. In 2014, the president signed the anti-homosexuality act into law. For the people convicted of homosexuality? Life in prison.

There is also a required “Tell on your neighbor” requirement. Ugandans are supposed to report anyone they think may be gay.

In a few short months after the law was put into rule, the constitutional court declared the anti-homosexuality act null and void due to a procedural error.

Even though the anti-homosexuality law has been dropped, gay sex is still illegal with life in prison under colonial era law. Gay couples hide. They cannot announce their relationship or even sit together. Life should not be like this.

No matter where you identify in the LGBT or LGBTQIA+, I know you have struggled and will struggle.
