He had a truly enormous nose - the kind of nose you could bat a home run with by flicking your head, the sort of facial attachment that might block out the sun's rays if you happened to take an upward glance... And my own nose isn't exactly on the small side. But my sister had instructed, no, she had commanded me not to stare, comment, or cower. This foreign student was my mother's paying guest. Total politeness was in order.

As we shook hands the nose filled my vision. He was charming, friendly, interesting, funny. But nothing could keep my attention, my focus from that nose. I've never used the word 'nose' so frequently in a single conversation - and hope I never will again. I mentioned the race-horse that "won by a nose", I apologised for being "nosey" after asking him whether he had a "good nose for wine" (after all he was French). My sister was convinced I was making deliberate fun of him, but I really wasn't! I would never do such a thing. But it was as though my unconscious mind, having been given a perfectly clear instruction not to focus on his nose was now doing just that.

I was a living, breathing, real life example of what laboratory research has confirmed - the more we try not to mention or not to think about something, the more that very thing will push its way to the front of our minds.

When you are deeply anxious, someone telling you to "try not to think about it!" may be the most useless advice ever. January's free audio insight Why suppressing thoughts (and feelings) doesn't work explains why consciously trying to suppress feelings and thoughts (and being told by others to "not" do something) can have the opposite effect.

Thought suppression doesn't really work, but this audio track offers a few strategies that will help you get something you don't want in your head out of your head.

In other news, we've upgraded, polished and improved our world-beating Comfort eating download session. We think you're going to like it! And have you ever wondered how great actors manage to 'become' the character they play on stage or screen? We think our new hypnosis session Method acting is going to help any aspiring (or even experienced professional) actor slip in and out of character more completely and therefore convincingly. You may not act for your living, but whatever you do for work it's important to be able to find meaning and some level of satisfaction in it. Succeeding at this doesn't mean that you stop striving to find other work if what you are doing isn't ultimately right for you, but it makes a huge difference to life to be able to get into the zone and find meaning in anything we do. And that's what the new Enjoy your work session aims to do, because, as Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: "Don't waste life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour's duties will be the best preparation for the hours and ages that will follow it." Wise words indeed, and everything we do at hypnosisdownloads.com aims to be the best we can do.

All our downloads are built upon the principles of common sense and psychological research, but are also as creative and effective as we can make them. In Downloads Unwrapped below I'll give you a brief idea of the principles, ideas and inspiration that provided the ingredients for three of January's brand new hypnosis downloads.

All the best,
