Lilly Allen latest single ‘The Fear’ has some interesting lyrics. The opening verse is:
I want to be rich and I want lots of money
I don’t care about clever I don’t care about funny
I want loads of clothes and f***loads of diamonds
I heard people die while they are trying to find them
It goes on to say how life is about money, buying things, she is a ‘weapon of mass consumption’ and she is OK as she has her ‘plastic’ (credit card). Research shows that these things give short term pleasure but not long term contentment. The songs chorus goes on to say:
I don’t know what’s right and what’s real anymore
I don’t know how I’m meant to feel anymore
When we think it will all become clear
‘Cuz I’m being taken over by The Fear
It appears that she isn’t content in life, she hasn’t found her inner peace and contenment – although I think she is being sarcastic. Lily has had hypnotherapy to help her loose weight so she is aware of the benefits of it. She may not be aware of how Cognitive Hypnotherapy can help you find your flow in life, start moving towards what you love instead of moving away from what you fear. Take a look at the Project You programme. A very short programme (typically 6 weeks) to help you understand find your flow in life. You can start to identify what qualities in your life make you happy by taking the VIA Signtatue Strengths test at authentichappiness.com and then fill your life with more of them. Be ridden of The Fear. Replace it with Flow.
