‘
My apologies for not having ‘blogged’ for a while – I have been busy in my other life, assisting my husband with his marketing business. We have had a really busy couple of weeks as we have been organising, and then manning a stand at a trade exhibition in Birmingham which has been good fun, but quite exhausting!

One of the perks of being in Birmingham was that we were able to go and see Olly, my eldest, who has just started at Birmingham Conservatoire (see earlier blogs). I am glad to say that he is thriving, has made loads of friends, and his really enjoying student life despite his mother’s fears. It seems he is now with ‘his people’, fellow musicians who all speak a similar language, and he is loving it. Nevertheless I do think that the whole experience has been a little bit of a shock to him, as when he was attending his small rural high school he always stood out as a really talented musician, and was used to receiving praise on a regular basis. Now everything is different, he is a small fish in a very large pond, and all around him are the most talented musicians in the country, so he is just one amongst many. But I really feel, that knowing his character, he will rise to this challenge and relish the opportunity to work towards his dream of becoming a professional musician.

We all have those times in life that seem to be so challenging at the time, and sometimes we can look back and wonder how we managed to get through. But my belief is that every single one of us has the strength and resources within them to overcome challenges, and to benefit from them in the long-run.

Sometimes, however, we do not feel that we have this strength within us, but I have found that hypnotherapy can be very powerful in giving us that sense of courage and determination, and we can then go on to achieve almost anything we want.
