Today is July 25th and welcome to The Daily Quote - a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and I'm happy you are here with me today.

Did you know that today is Health and Happiness with Hypnosis Day? Now, I know what you might be thinking: "Hypnosis? Really?" But before you roll your eyes, let's dive into it a little. Hypnosis has been around for centuries and has been used for a variety of purposes, from entertainment to therapy. It’s fascinating how something so simple as a change in focus can have such profound effects on our well-being.

In the spirit of Health and Happiness with Hypnosis Day, I've chosen a quote by the famous psychologist Milton H. Erickson.

Milton H. Erickson (1901-1980) was an American psychiatrist and psychologist, renowned for his pioneering work in medical hypnosis and family therapy. He developed innovative therapeutic techniques that utilized metaphors, storytelling, and indirect suggestion, fundamentally transforming the practice of clinical hypnosis. Despite suffering from polio and other health challenges, Erickson's deep understanding of the unconscious mind and human behavior led him to create the Ericksonian approach to hypnosis, which remains influential in psychotherapy and hypnotherapy today.

He said,

Let’s unpack that for a moment. Hypnosis is all about tapping into the unconscious mind, that part of you that works quietly behind the scenes, managing everything from your breathing to those sudden flashes of creativity. Erickson's quote reminds us that our unconscious mind holds a wealth of knowledge and wisdom, often more than we give it credit for.

Think about it: how many times have you solved a problem after "sleeping on it" or had a great idea come to you in the shower? That's your unconscious at work, filtering through information and presenting you with solutions when you least expect it. Hypnosis takes that natural process and gives it a little nudge, helping you access those hidden resources more directly.

On this day, take a moment to consider how you might harness the power of your own mind. Whether it's through formal hypnosis sessions, mindfulness practices, or simply paying more attention to your intuition, there are many ways to tap into that deeper part of yourself. Remember, you have a reservoir of knowledge and potential just waiting to be accessed.

So, as you go about your day, why not give it a try? Maybe you'll find yourself more in tune with your thoughts and feelings, or perhaps you'll discover a new level of relaxation and clarity. After all, as Erickson wisely pointed out, "You can trust the unconscious. It knows more than you do."

I'm Andrew McGivern signing off, and I'm glad you spent this time with me.
