Let's talk about New Year's Resolutions!
New year, new you...Right? Well, we all have made New Year's resolutions, but how many have stuck?
We set off with the right intentions and with so much motivation. This year I am (fill in the blank). We tear off and buy a gym sub, or some exercise gear, or sign up to some website, or vow and declare to change how we eat, relax, (again fill in the blank.)
We say we are going to make a difference, but just a few days, weeks or months pass, and guess what, not much has changed.
The gym gear sits in the corner, the resume sits unsent, the book remains unwritten.
Why is this? Well, there are a few reasons:
Symptom motivation: This is where we have a symptom, and we strive to get on top of it, and when we get some relief, we kind of stop being so motivated.
Hype: Yes, hype can be a big motivator, but hype is usually short-lived and requires lots of energy.
Guilt: Yes, guilt is a big fat nothing burger; it only motivates for a moment and creates a self-destructive cycle.
Outward pressure: Others pressurising you to change leads to just resentment, and when they stop cheering, what's next?
Habit: Maybe you have always been a habitual New Year's resolutioner!
Now for the solution, focusing on how Hero's Journey Hypnotherapy helps.
Make changes that stick.
With Hero's Journey Hypnotherapy, we work on changes that really stick. How does Hypnosis do that?
First, we take you through the change that you WANT. Not some external pressure (though others may be right about you needing to change).
Then we set about finding a resource that you already have, and use that to create new neural pathways. This is just fancy speak for saying your brain creates a new, powerfully rooted habit, and that then comes into play.
It is fun, and exciting, and yes, this is part of your very own Hero's Journey.:
