The Ugly Truth About The “I'll Be Happy When" Syndrome - Anxiety Relief!
Have you ever heard yourself saying “I'll Be Happy When" you do something specific or obtain something of value, when you achieve a lifetime goal or when your health returns and it goes on and on. Very young children live in the present without waiting for something specific to happen. As we grow older we become conditioned by the constraints and expectations of society and the culture we live in and in turn tend to suffer from “I'll Be Happy When" Syndrome and unfortunately in most cases it is an ugly beast that tends to lead to a constant feeling of lack! Constantly chasing happiness instead of just experiencing it in the present moment.
What if “I'll Be Happy When" is replaced by “I'll Be Happy in the Now" and a scenario where it's ok to look forward to things happening and it's also ok if they don't happen. It's ok to let go of the outcome! Wouldn't we all be less anxious and experience a healing dose of anxiety relief, every single time we put into practice the “I'll Be Happy in the Now"! We are certainly going to do our best to keep doing so! How about you?

Resilience in Challenging Circumstances - Anxiety Relief
1 RecommendationsResilience in Challenging Circumstances - Anxiety Relief
In this Podcast episode of Get Real with The English Sisters - Mind, Health , Anxiety we talk about how we can all cultivate resilience and why it is helpful to do so for our mental health and overall wellbeing.
Psychologists define resilience as the process of adapting well in the face of adversity. We all live through challenges, adversity and difficult times and as we wrote in our book "Entrancing Tales for Change with NLP and Hypnosis", - we would like you to become aware - that you too possess great resilience like the daisy flower and that deep down inside you have the resilience and flexibility of a daisy that bounces straight back up when trodden on.
"Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways." ― Sigmund Freud When we learn to express our emotions we become more resilient. This helps us release our emotions and doing so we become stronger and more empowered.
We find that today the worlds events create an overload of too much adversity, so much so that it gets more and more difficult to harness the resilience within. Making us feel anxious and overwhelmed eventually creating disease within us.
We can however learn to choose to shield ourselves from worldly news and stay in the present moment. Cultivating mindfulness can help us all become stronger, happier and more resilient.
It is so helpful to remember that just like the Japanese art Kintsugi of fixing a broken vase with gold to make it even more beautiful, the adversity we live through can make us stronger and more beautiful in every way.

Is Self Love Overrated? Anxiety Relief!
1 RecommendationsIs Self Love Overrated? Anxiety Relief!
Today we will be talking about self love and if self love is overrated. Is there too much talk about loving oneself! Is there too much pressure to love yourself? What if you don't exactly feel that loving towards yourself? Does this increase anxiety? Perhaps self acceptance is the same as self love without the pressure! Instant anxiety relief!
Is it even normal to love yourself or is SELF LOVE a kind of pressure imposed on us by society and social media? Andy Warhol said that in the future everyone will be world famous for 15 minutes but do we have to be the centre of our own universe.
Maybe if we look outside ourselves and focus on loving others, self love will come naturally! If you can't accept yourself fully, perhaps accept yourself a little every day as you look outwards helping others!
“If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.” – Dr. Maya Angelou
This may be true but once again there is so much pressure on us to be amazing. Perhaps we all are already amazing and we just need to let go and accept that it is Ok to relax and just allow ourselves to be in the moment. What are your thoughts? We would love to hear from you! If you can't accept yourself fully, perhaps accept yourself a little every day as you look outwards helping others.
