New Year's Resolutions & How Hypnosis can Help

It's that time of the year again....when most of us swear to lose weight, stop smoking, work out more, and be healthier. Sadly, most New Year's resolutions are short lived and disappear once the subconscious starts saying it wants to "Sleep In" (no workout), "Eat Sweets," and "Have Fun!"

Lifestyle changes can be So Much EASIER when you get your subconscious on your side instead of fighting against you. There are ways to do this, with and without hypnosis; however, with hypnosis is a lot faster.

To get your subconscious on your side without booking a few hypnosis sessions, you have to make the effort slowly and steadily for at least 21 days (or 3 weeks) before the new habits start seeping into your subconscious. Repetition is one way to influence the subconscious, but it does take a while.  That's why the conventional wisdom on "it takes 21 days to make a new habit or break an old habit" really does work.

To get your subconscious working on your side a lot faster, just book a few hypnosis sessions. This time of the year you can usually find a weight management group running for several weeks or you can book individual sessions. Typically only 3 to 5 sessions are needed to speed you on your way to better weight control, stopping smoking, or even better stress management. Your hypnotist can guide you, but you still have to do the work.

Remember, all hypnosis is SELF HYPNOSIS so you have to make the effort to want to change.

Good luck to you all who are breaking and adapting new habits in 2011!
