Do you find yourself always thinking the worse? How would your life improve if you were calmer and didn’t always predict the worst outcome or if your first response to any situation is a negative one?
When we focus on the possible dangers and pitfalls in any given situation, we are making predictions about how things will end. Often, these predictions are so crystal clear we are entirely convinced they are going to happen. We almost live it, as though it’s real – and in most cases, it never is. In most cases, this picture is nothing more than our imagination running a little wild.
Thinking the worst is useful – to a certain degree
There are of course advantages of being able to predict or consider harmful outcomes. With this foresight, measures can be put in place to avoid such occurrences. For example, we are able to plan a different course of action, we are able to adapt to different situations and we are able to keep work through potential problems before they take place.
If this was where it stopped, the mind would be operating highly efficiently and really do its job. The problem is, the human imagination tends to get a little over-active at times, creating the illusion of danger, even when there isn’t any. Instead of allowing us to make well-informed, sensible decisions based on the actual scenario, it can develop the ‘story-board’ of negativity so far, that eventually, it orchestrates into a fantastic movie of doom and gloom. And that movie is so real-life, it feels as though we are the star guest.
Unfortunately, the outcome of this magnificently orchestrated and true-to-life production is that our body creates fear and anxiety and physically prepares us to flee the scene.
For those that suffer from an over-active brain, the consequences are often a life filled with negativity, stress, and distress. Simple scenarios whereby a friend doesn’t return a phone call, lead to assumptions that they don’t want to be friends anymore. Even when it was probably a simple case of the phone is on silent!
At work, if a manager or colleague decides to reply in a rude manner, this can often lead to thoughts of “am I good enough at my job”, “they don’t like me” – when it might just be a case of they are having some personal troubles at the moment, or they didn’t get a good night’s sleep.
The result? Time, energy and stress over situations that will probably never happen. If every possible negative scenario was likely to happen in life, we would never leave the house!

*I thought the way I was feeling was something I had to live with.
Someone suggested I try Hypnotherapy and I found George Swan. I honestly cannot believe the difference since my first session, even my family have noticed the difference.
I have become happier and more confident. You cannot put a price on happiness so do not let that be the influence in making the decision to see George as I can assure you that you will not be disappointed.

My self-confidence and performance at work have done a complete 180 within the space of a month. George is a very intelligent and insightful therapist who will find the root of a problem and work with you to tackle it head on. Cannot recommend his services more.

*I recommend going to George with any issue.
I have been dealing with anxiety while flying on planes for some time, it was affecting my work life and stopping me from taking holidays.
After my first session with George, I had to board a plane the following day, not only did I have no anxiety while on the plane, I managed to sleep during the flight.
