Put Yourself First – It's not selfish to put yourself at the top of your to-do list sometimes

Putting yourself first sometimes is not selfishness
In that moment, if you're over-tired, ill or generally over stretched, you're ability to help is reduced and you might end up tripping over the child and hugging the band-aid by mistake!(1)
Putting yourself and your need to rest, relax, have fun sometimes will make you a better carer, provider or parent because you'll be healthier and have more energy.
Do you have an aversion to looking after yourself?

And it's these unpleasant emotions that tend to stop people balancing their lives with an appropriate amount of self care.
How hypnosis can help
The great thing about hypnosis is that it helps you step out of old knee jerk emotional reactions and update them for the you that are now.
The Put Yourself First hypnosis session will help update your unconscious responses to the idea of caring for yourself sometimes so you come to feel the same way about it as caring for someone else.
