How to Reduce Your Stress and Anxiety

Experiencing stress and anxiety means you’re alive, and that’s a great thing. It’s your body’s built-in alarm system to warn you of potential threats, allowing you to evaluate and respond to them in appropriate ways. As a matter of fact, this heightened state of readiness (aka... stress and anxiety) can help you perform better and be more creative.

Can You Hypnotize Yourself?

First, let me answer Caroline’s question… Yes, you can hypnotize yourself.

    • If your answer is “yes”, then it is not self-hypnosis.
