Ted in Your Head

Think about this for a minute… Most of what you believe about yourself, about what you deserve, about what is possible for you, was not something you chose. It was given to you. Before you were old enough to question it. Before you even knew it was happening. That is social conditioning. And according to Certified Hypnotherapist Ted Moreno, it is one of the most powerful and least examined forces...

Where they come from. How they shape everything we do. And how to change the ones...

When was the last time you sat outside and just looked at the sky? Not took a photo of it. Not posted it. Just sat there and looked at it.

And that trade is costing us more than we realize. In this episode of Ted in...

Do you ever have the unsettling feeling that something bad is about to happen... even when there's no reason to think it will?

How much of your day do you spend wishing things were different than they are? Wishing people were different. Wishing situations were different.

In this episode of Ted in Your Head, Certified Hypnotherapist Ted Moreno explores one o...

Here's a question worth sitting with for a moment: Right now — are you actually here? Or are you somewhere else?

In this episode of Ted in Your Head, Certified Hypnotherapist Ted Moreno explores one of the most important...

You're exhausted. But the moment your head hits the pillow, your brain has other plans. The worrying. The replaying. The mental to-do lists.

According to the Mayo Clinic, more than one-third of adults experience insomnia at some point — and ten to fifteen percent deal with it chronical...

Catastrophizing is a mental habit where your thoughts immediately jump to the worst-possible outcome. Instead of using your wonderful imagination to create what you want, you use it to magnify danger in your mind until it feels real and like it’s really going to happen. This can become a very bad habit and can be quite disruptive to your peace of mind and ability to feel in control. It’s also not...
