That Monday morning feeling

Have you ever wondered why we get up on a Monday feeling a quiet sense of dread? Did you enjoy school? I didn't and so every Sunday night I went to bed feeling apprehension about the next day and the week that would follow. Over the years I became conditioned to wake up on Monday filled with dread and distress at the prospect of another week of torment. sound familiar?
So how as I grew I just kept the pattern, carried it with me so even when I had a job I loved I carried on with the Monday morning dread pattern.
Think about a jigsaw, if you change just one of the pieces the picture looks different. Mix it up and you often cant recognise what is a picture off.
So lets mix it up, lets change some shapes. Imagine Tuesday is the first day of the working week, Sunday is a break. imagine Monday is a planning day when you plan the rest of the week, a day of preparation and power, and use it this way. Make lists of things to do that make you feel good, ring and book your evenings out, your dates, your holidays.
Monday, the best day of the week, your power day. How does that feel, keep that pattern, carry that with you.

So what now

I think Ive got the basics of blogging sorted, few more things to sort, such as being able to link my blog to our listing on The Best of Walsall and a few other places, to maximise the impact and value of my blog in terms of spreading the word. WOW this is exiting.
From now on my blog posts will be more themed around issues related to My work as a clinical hypotherapist. I would love questions to answer, suggested topics ETC. Also watch my blog and FB page for a future developement currently in developement. Audio files with information, samples of my work and the odd little story.

And next I thought

So I thought ok, I have succesfully posted couple of things in my blog, linked my blog (I hope) to my facebook page, whats next. Seemed the next logical step is to be able to blog on my nice little HTC Desire Z. So here we are, I am typing this on my phone, lets see how this goes.
Ive often wondered what impact on our neurology the abilty to communicate in all these new ways. Will our brains have to adapt to accomodate these new skills or do we have the flexibilty already already inate and programmed in.
What do you folks think?

So I thought

Having gone through the process of setting up my new blogger account on my laptop, I thought there is so much I need to learn here, but ideally lets start with the basics, how can I promote my blog so as not to feel like johny no mates blogging on my own. so my next challenge was to link this blog to my facebook page.
If you are reading this now it means Ive most likly succeeded and its worked. I am using a facebook widget (not apparently made by facebook, which is a bit confusing) called 'networkedBlogs' if anyone has a better suggestion I would be glad to here it because setting it up was a bit of a nightmare.

Trying hypnotherapy

I decided today I had prevaricated enough, it was time I just got on with learning to blog. Strange that because I often see people in my consulting room who are putting their life on hold waiting for just the right time to make the decision, dip their toe in the water or make a commitment by diving in. I often start by saying how would you know if the time was right to make this change and strangely they don't know, they have lots of reasons to hold back but aren't looking for the signs to tell them when to jump. Answer, identify the signs look for them and be prepared to jump. Bit like me and this blog really, the time is now the wind is in the east, the sun in the west, the building is quiet and my spelling is bad, so here I go.
Splash, the water is lovely come on in
