Are you dreaming of a life without IBS? You dream of being free again, and being able to live a normal life doing what you want to do, eating what you want to eat.
IBS has stopped you in your tracks (for now at least).
It gets in the way of what you want to do and to be.
It messes with your self-image, self-confidence, and can be painful.
And IBS flares can bring chaos to your week.
So no wonder that IBS brings you down and makes you feel anxious.
All the information you can read seems complicated and conflicting – like your IBS symptoms.
“Solutions” are everywhere – but you can see no real way out.
To see a way out, you may need to allow yourself to see things differently to what you have been taught (by people who have probably never even suffered with irritable bowel…)
My dream of a normal IBS-free life became reality
While many authority websites claim that “there is no cure for IBS“, my dream of an IBS-free life became reality. One I have been living for some 8 years now, without the need for special diets or products.
I had no clue that it was possible. But I was determined I would be in the best of health possible for me.
I can tell you from experience that the more convinced you are that you can’t find a way out, the more fearful and stuck you become.
You don’t feel strong any more and lose confidence quickly. And this makes you want to hide away. You become accustomed to your limiting thoughts, fearing the present and the future. (I have been down this road too).
One way to bypass some of the doubt is this: Imagining yourself without IBS
This NLP approach called “future pacing” is used to open up new possibilities, and make them more familiar options.
Imagine yourself without IBS
You would be surprised the number of IBS sufferers that come on a Discovery call with me, and just can’t imagine themselves without IBS! Even though they want more than anything to break free from IBS.
They want to feel free, unrestricted, with no food or poop problems weighing them down
See if YOU can imagine yourself living a normal life free from IBS.
Take a few moments to sit quietly, and allow your mind to ponder these questions:
What is different now? What are you wearing? How are you feeling?
What are you doing now that you couldn’t before? How does that feel?
What are you enjoying, that you couldn’t enjoy before?
And what are you eating and digesting that you couldn’t get near before?
Stay with those positive feelings. If limiting thoughts like frustration start tapping you on the shoulder, move on to the next step.
Imagine yourself at work IBS-free
Walking into the office with calm, confidence, energy, and enthusiasm.
Not trying to cover up embarrassing health problems – because you don’t have any!
Imagine this is the new you, and just how that feels. Try it on for a few moments like a new coat.
Imagine going to an interview for the job of your dreams feeling fully capable and on top of the world – and getting it!
And at home
Imagine yourself without IBS. What differences in relationships with others are you experiencing?
Take a deep breath, close your eyes and feel that change, that freedom. Laughter instead of frustration.
Real sleep. Love. Feeling relaxed and well. Feel how good that feels.
Use this before you go to sleep and see if it helps you to feel less anxious and more confident that you can improve your IBS.
My dream became a reality. Why not work with me and walk towards yours?
