Why do we find it so difficult to change a habit…should it be this hard?
Most of the time, we know what we want to change, so why don’t we just change it!!!
For example: “I know I don’t want to drink every night..but then 6pm comes round and there’s a glass of wine in my hand”
Or “I have been driving for years so why now am I dreading driving on a motorway”?
Or “I know I am capable so why do I lose all my confidence when I have to speak up in front of people”
Or “why am I so afraid of flying or travelling when I know it’s safe”
Or it could just be that your life has become Groundhog Day, just looking after everyone else, juggling a lot, just getting through the week and something has to change to feel like YOU again.
So when you know you want a change, but then it still keeps happening we can start to believe there is something wrong with us! There is nothing wrong!
Knowing what you want to change and actually changing an automatic pattern are two totally different things.
That part of you reaching for the wine, panicking on the motorway, going quiet when you want to speak, imagining everything that could go wrong, or telling you to stay exactly where you are is actually trying to help you because it feels familiar snd we like familiar!
THIS is why I love the work I do.
Hypnotherapy gives us a way of working with those patterns at a different level, understanding what’s underneath them, changing old associations and responses, and helping your mind begin to create something different…. Easily.
Just because you have habits and patterns that you have been running with for years, doesn’t mean you can’t change them very quickly - it just means you haven’t found the way that works for you…. YET.
Let me give you hope - there are easier ways to change out there!
