  • The Holiday Sanctuary (Day 4) Releasing the Pressure to be Perfect

    The Holiday Sanctuary (Day 4) Releasing the Pressure to be Perfect
    Dec 17 2025
    "Good enough" is not a failure. It is a freedom.Welcome to the final day of The Holiday Sanctuary. As we reach the peak of the season, it is easy to fall into the trap of "Compare and Despair." We scroll through social media seeing perfect trees, perfect dinners, and perfect families, and suddenly, our reality feels like it's lacking. We carry the weight of impossible expectations, trying to create a magic moment at the expense of our own mental health.In today’s finale, Releasing the Pressure to be Perfect, we are putting those burdens down. We are choosing connection over perfection.In this session, you will experience:4-7-8 Breathing: A deep relaxation technique (often called the "natural tranquilizer" for the nervous system) to help you exhale tension and frustration.The "Heavy Baggage" Visualization: A liberating mental exercise where we identify the heavy bags we are carrying—labeled "Expectations," "Money," and "Perfection"—and physically visualize setting them down and walking away lighter.Affirmations for Acceptance: "I release the need for perfection." "I choose presence over pressure."Thank you for taking this four-day journey with me. Remember: You are enough, exactly as you are.Series Complete.

  • The Holiday Sanctuary (Day 3) Protecting Your Energy Field

    The Holiday Sanctuary (Day 3) Protecting Your Energy Field
    Dec 16 2025
    You do not have to absorb the stress of the people around you.Welcome to Day 3 of The Holiday Sanctuary. As we move deeper into the week, social obligations—office parties, family calls, and crowded shops—often increase. For those of us who are sensitive, this contact can feel draining. We often leave these interactions feeling exhausted, not because we did too much, but because we felt too much.In today’s episode, Protecting Your Energy Field, we are building a boundary. We are learning the difference between empathy (understanding someone) and absorption (taking on their emotions).In this session, you will experience:The Cleansing Breath: A visualization-based breathwork technique where you inhale clear, restorative light and exhale the grey smoke of other people’s tension.The "Glass Wall" Visualization: A powerful mental exercise to construct a transparent shield around you. This allows you to see and hear the world clearly, but ensures that negativity simply bounces off your field rather than sinking in.Affirmations for Boundaries: "I observe stress without absorbing it." "I am the guardian of my own energy."Carry this shield with you into every room you enter today.Next Up: Join me tomorrow for the final session, Day 4, where we will focus on "The Celebration"—finding genuine joy in the season on your own terms.👉 Click to subscribe and unlock ad-free episodes now!Support the Show:Ad-Free Listening: Enjoy Calming Anxiety without ads at https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/calming-anxiety--4110266/supportBuy Me a Coffee: Support hosting costs at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/calminganxietyRate & Review: Leave a 5-star review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts to help us reach more listeners!Resources & Courses:Book Hypnotherapy: Schedule a one-on-one session with Martin at https://calendar.app.google/rXHMt8sRYft5iWma8 Pain & Anxiety Course:Manage negative thoughts and pain with The Physio Crew’s course at https://offers.thephysiocrew.co.uk/home-painBreathing Challenge: Try our relaxing breathing challenge at https://www.martinhewlett.co.uk/breathing-challenge/Gift a Subscription: Share Calming Anxiety with loved ones at https://www.martinhewlett.co.uk/shop/calming-anxiety-gift-subscription/Get the App:iOS: Download Calming Anxiety at https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/calming-anxiety/id1576159331 Android:Get it on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=digital.waterfront.calming.anxiety&hl=en-GBConnect With Us:Email: Share feedback or requests at calminganxiety@martinhewlett.co.ukYouTube: Watch all episodes at https://www.youtube.com/c/calminganxiety?sub_confirmation=1 Social Media Support: For younger listeners struggling with social media stress, visit https://www.icanhelp.net/Backing Music: Chris Collins===================Affiliate links to the gear I use the items that give me a more tranquil life.Rode Podmic - https://amzn.to/3LN1JEdZoom Livetrak L8 - https://amzn.to/36UCIbySony ZV 1 - https://amzn.to/3JvDUPTGoPro Hero 8 Black - https://amzn.to/372rzFlDJI Mini 2 - https://amzn.to/3NQfMdY=============================Items I use for a more relaxed way of life :)Organic Pure Hemp CBD Capsules - https://amzn.to/3Ready for More Calm?Thank you for listening to the Calming Anxiety Podcast, featuring guided meditation, mindfulness, and sleep hypnosis sessions with Martin Hewlett.

    The world outside is speeding up. Today, we give you permission to slow down.Welcome to Day 2 of The Holiday Sanctuary. As we hit the middle of December, we often enter the "manic week"—that frantic rush to get everything done before the holidays arrive. The pressure to hurry can trigger adrenaline spikes and leave us feeling overwhelmed and breathless.In today’s episode, The Art of Slowing Down, we are opting out of the urgent energy of the world. We are reclaiming our own pace.In this session, you will experience:Box Breathing (4-4-4-4): A tactical breathwork technique used to instantly regulate the nervous system and halt the adrenaline response.The Deep Snow Visualization: A guided mental journey where you walk through deep, soft snow. Every step is slow, deliberate, and silent, muffling the noise of the chaotic world around you.Affirmations for Pacing: Powerful reminders that your peace is more important than your to-do list.This is your antidote to the rush.

    Dec 13 2025
    Does looking at your bank balance or holiday shopping list trigger a immediate knot of panic in your chest?. You are not alone.In the middle of December, we are often bombarded with the message that "love equals spending," which triggers deep financial scarcity and unworthiness wounds. But your worthiness is not a transaction, and your love is not measured by a price tag.Join clinical hypnotherapist Martin for a Somatic Reset designed to help you put down the heavy bag of expectation and reclaim your peace.In this episode, we will:Identify Financial Stress: Locate where money anxiety lives in your body (often the jaw and lower belly).Switch Off the Scarcity Alarm: Use Box Breathing (Inhale 4, Hold 4, Exhale 4, Hold 4) to balance the mind and ground the nervous system.Visualize the Release: Somatically "set down" the heavy burden of needing to buy the perfect gift or perfect reaction.Reframe Gift-Giving: Learn why offering your calm presence is more valuable than any stressed-out version of you holding a box.Mantras for this Session:"My presence is the greatest present I can give." "I release the need to buy approval." "I am enough exactly as I am right now." Timestamps:00:00 - The "Scarcity Mindset" Trap01:20 - Somatic Check-in: Jaw & Belly01:59 - Box Breathing Technique03:21 - Visualization: Setting Down the Heavy Bag04:25 - Hand on Heart Affirmations07:17 - The Gift of Time (Martin’s Story) A Note from Martin: "One of my gifts when I was very poor was the gift of time.
