She has just published her first book ‘Get Visible’ and shares how the power of mindset has brought her everything she wanted.
Anna began as an actor primarily on the stage but everything changed when after suffering from a condition during pregnancy she was told to not expect to walk again but within
A few years she had not only recovered but was on the red carpet winning or nominated as a finalist for many awards in Hollywood as an outstanding performer.
This transformation came through the power of mindset and Anna now works helping people with personal development within a professional capacity, showing them how they think about themselves and their abilities is what makes the difference as to whether they achieve what they want in life.
It’s about putting yourself out there and making the decision that the things you want are important to you, listen in and find out more.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I saw a hypnotherapist and we undertook a session of NLP - Neuro-linguistic programming.
- Bit by bit we unravelled everything I said and I agreed to change the language I was using, how I was talking about myself and what was happening
- It’s a very different experience saying a healing sentence rather than a sentence about pain
- You are not alone in having self-limiting thoughts it’s really common but those thoughts aren’t true. It’s just that you’ve been thinking them on repeat for many, many years.
- Those neuro pathways in your brain are really entrenched.
- We are always generalising, deleting and distorting information to fit our own world view.
- If you believe you can’t then you will find information to support that you can’t.
- If you think you can and choose the words and language to support this then you can.
- The real power of NLP, hypnosis, and timeline work is to get past the inner critic.
- If you don’t know what you are saying about yourself how can you change?
- If you are saying I’m good at this and I’m open to learning then this becomes your experience.
- New thoughts build new neural pathways.
- It’s doing the work to discover the events or moment where you decided it was true and looking at the different decisions you could have made.
- In our casual speech, we denigrate ourselves over and over and that impacts our lives in a massive way.
- Getting to the point of understanding, when you began to think in this way, enables you to change your self-limiting belief for something positive.
