Health, Beauty & Wellbeing MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL, WHY AM I DIFFERENT TO THEM ALL? by Alan Jones, Registered Hypnotherapist Many of us have something about our body that we dislike, or are self-conscious of, and although most of us let these thoughts come and go, sometimes you can become abnormally preoccupied with an imagined or slight defect in your appearance. is can lead to constantly comparing yourself with other people and spending hours trying to conceal the imagined defect, or limiting your fashion choice and lifestyle to hide it. As your focus of attention increases so does the stress and anxiety it creates, undermining your self- conf i dence , causing social isolation, and i m p a c t i n g on your relationships and career. Hypnotherapy can help you to put things back in their correct perspective, looking in the mirror with renewed con dence and provide you with simple techniques to regain control of your life.

Having successfully introduced Nordic Walking to so many residents of the New Forest, Nordic Walking Brockenhurst is delighted to be expanding into the Ashurst/Dibden/Southampton areas with the addition of a new Instructor, Sue Gravells. As now, more than ever, it’s vital to be t and healthy, it’s good to know that those who have discovered that they enjoy walking can progress this sport to the next level in the beautiful surroundings of the Forest with no need to visit a gym! Suzanne Madden, who set up this club seven years ago says: “It’s been really rewarding to see how many people have taken up this new hobby since the beginning of the first lockdown and how much it’s helped them both physically and mentally” . One of the club’s newer members, Claire from Southampton, who joined last summer, says it was lockdown that made her realise just how much she loves being outside rather than stuck in a gym and was delighted to nd a form of exercise where she can work 96% of her muscles simply by using the poles (with the correct technique of course!). Claire says: “The benefits are numerous - I’ve particularly enjoyed a reduction in my bingo wings and am more aware of my core - it really is so much more than just a walk - a proper workout!” . Claire, New instructor, Sue, came across Nordic walking a er the rst lockdown last year. Asked what motivated her to become a Nordic Walking instructor, Sue said: “When using the poles, I feel a lift and momentum I’ve never experienced whilst walking before - it makes me feel good - it makes me smile and I’d like to give others the chance to experience this too!”. To nd out how this activity can bene t you, please contact Suzanne at: nordicwalkingbrockenhurst@ gmail.com or on: 07903 772181 for further information. who has lost 4 stone in just over a year, has lost half of that since taking up Nordic Walking! Asked if it’s helped, she said: “Undoubtedly! Often weight loss dramatically slows down once the initial excess has gone, but by taking up Nordic Walking, I was able to keep the momentum going! I’ve also made some lovely new friends and love seeing so many smiley faces!” Sue Gravells - new Nordic Walking Instructor in Ashurst Waterside Walking for Health Bereavement Support You are very welcome to go along and join in any of their walks: Thursday 26th August , 3pm, Hawkhill for a 3.2 mile walk; Monday 31th August , 10am, Crockford for a 2.6 mile walk; Thursday 9th September , 3pm, Shatterford for a 2.7 mile walk; and Monday 13th September , 10am, Hatchet Pond for a 2.0 mile walk.
