Dwight D. Eisenhower once said, “Our pleasures were simple - they included survival.” In response to this, I ask: How are you surviving? Are your pleasures simple? Do you have pleasures, or are you just surviving?
The daily grind to sustain shelter, feed your family, or to keep your commitments to yourself and others is commendable, but survival is not enough. You must be able to find simple pleasures in life that allow you to appreciate what you have. These simple pleasures are what make the hustle to survive truly worth it. Examine your mind state ever so often. Determine whether your mind is set on positive or negative thoughts. Hold tight to those simple pleasures that leave you feeling grateful and at peace. If your thoughts tend to be negative, ask yourself how or if you can change what’s breaking your spirit. If you can’t change it, treat your mind to some simple pleasures. Reward your determination to survive life’s circumstances with gratitude and joy. It can be difficult to learn new habits that generate these positive mental states, but that’s the blessing in hypnosis. You can kick old habits and gently invite the new. We look forward to working with you soon.
