The weather may be making us feel its still holiday time, but there’s no getting away from that ‘back to school’ feeling that the beginning of September brings.

For some this may be quite a scary time as it means the start of a new school or university. Even just starting a new academic year can be quite frightening for some as you don’t know what the year is going to bring.

It is important to realise that it’s perfectly normal to feel this way when faced with the challenge of a new chapter in our lives. We tend to be creatures of habit and routine and any sort of change in circumstances can be unnerving. Even if we are fully prepared and feel quite excited about this new phase in our lives, we can have all sorts of thoughts about whether things are going to go well, if we have chosen the right course/subjects. It may also be that we have had to change direction as exam results were not quite what we expected.

Whatever ‘new beginnings’ you are contemplating, you can prepare yourself by ensuring a calm and balanced state of mind by experiencing hypnotherapy and then setting aside a regular self-hypnosis practice. You may feel over-burdened by things and hypnotherapy can bring you back to a calm and relaxed state of mind, so that you feel ready to face any challenge. In addition, if you can set aside a little time each day for quieting the mind, you will find that it reaps huge benefits in the longer term, giving you a new sense of clarity and focus that you may not have experienced before.
