Self-Improvement

Erika Slater headshot photo 300x300Self-improvement can mean many things to different people. Here are Free At Last hypnosis we are big on this topic because in our experience hypnosis can be an effective tool to help people make significant changes to improve their lives.
This can range from overcoming an unhealthy habit to breaking down barriers holding people back from achieving their goals. We’ve found in one way or another if we can help people change their habits it can help them with their personal growth aims.
Peter Sacco Ph.D. has written a comprehensive library of articles on self-improvement for us – I’ve added a few myself – and these include expanding skills in sports performance, mental toughness, test taking, speaking, motivation and much more.
A truism today is if you’re standing still, you’re really losing ground. Always striving for self-improvement keeps us moving forward and we experience the wonder of growth both for ourselves and those we care about.
Enjoy the articles.
