Photo courtesy of Huffingtonpost.com New Year’s Eve is next week, and it is often accompanied with resolutions made with the best of intentions that may difficult to keep.
Only a small number of us will actually experience success and continue with new behavior patterns past January. Only 8 percent of people actually keep their New Year’s resolutions, according to one commonly cited statistic. There are many reasons people can’t stick to their resolutions; from setting too many of them to getting derailed by small failures. Setting overly ambitious and restrictive goals ― like quitting sugar when you haven’t already been making small changes to improve your diet ― is one major cause of failure. We may decide to start on a healthy regime of exercising and losing weight and to start off with, our motivation is high – only to lapse at the first sign of temptation or stress. The same applies to stopping smoking, quitting alcohol and so on. What’s going on here? The reason it can be difficult for some is that we are all creatures of habit and in times of adversary we revert to our old coping mechanisms. And of course, one cigarette or one cream cake isn’t going to make much difference is it?, we kid ourselves, and this often leads to failure. Or we may be eating all the right things and exercising more yet no weight is being shed so because the results aren’t immediate will stop ‘punishing’ ourselves with denial and go back to the old, well-trodden path. It doesn’t have to be like that though. People can and do lose weight, stop drinking, smoking, being lazy and so forth. They may do this the hard way, using willpower or choose to change their mind-set with the help of hypnosis. Hypnosis can help you stick with your resolutions by focusing on the tasks you want to achieve or problems you want to overcome. The most popular New Year Resolutions tend to be along the lines of: Get fit and lose weight Be more organized in work/life in general Save money, spend less Quit smoking Enjoy life and welcome new experiences Find love/a relationship Travel more Studies show, these tend to be the dominant themes in everyone’s resolutions most years. The biggest theme is to be or better yourself in some way. Some people don't even bother making resolutions for fear of failure. If this sounds like you then hypnosis can help put you in the right frame of mind and motivate you to achieve your resolutions with confidence. Likewise, healthy eating and learning to enjoy exercise can help you with your weight loss goals. The key to success is to make attainable resolutions and set yourself a realistic time scale to complete them. This way you can celebrate your successes as you reach each milestone, or re-evaluate your plan of action if things aren't going as planned. Hypnosis works and don’t you owe it to yourself to use all the tools available that will help you ataain your goals quickly and easily? #Hypnosisworks #atx #Lakewaytx #beecavetx #drippingspringstx #newyearresolutions #Prescottaz #prescott #stopsmoking #loseweight #stopdrinking #motivation #success @ronlakehypnosis #academyforlifeempowerment
