Why don't New Year Resolutions work?

Why don’t New Year’s resolutions tend to work? Mainly it is because they are made at the conscious level of mind. Resolutions typically make use of will power to implement the desired change, another conscious mind function. 

Some people may feel they have lots of will power and others none at all, regardless of your perceived ability to make change through will power over the long term it is no match for the emotions, imagination and programming of the subconscious mind. 

Through will power you may be able to respond differently to your trigger for a few days or even a week or two. The subconscious mind however, is looking for ways to trip you up. It knows that in many cases you will see a slip as failure and an excuse to continue the habit that you consciously want to change.   

New Year’s resolutions rarely work because your conscious desire for change is not aligned with your subconscious programming. 

By using hypnosis your subconscious can become your ally in making the change. Once your conscious and inner minds are in agreement not only will change happen, it will be permanent and effortless. After all you will simply be responding to a new program. 

Using hypnosis there are many tools to make desired changes including; direct suggestion, replacing the response to a trigger with something that is more beneficial to health, identifying consciously the root of the habit, or discovering any hidden reasons for the behavior.   

Regardless of which tool or tools are used to change your internal programming, your subconscious mind is now aligned with your conscious desire for change. Once the behavior needed to reach your goal becomes a part of your belief system (programming) it will operate without a thought. Imagine taking a deep breath instead of lighting up a cigarette, or taking a sip of water instead of having that bowl of ice cream while the new beneficial action satisfies you completely. 

The emotional need that drove the old behavior is now completely satisfied with the new behavior. The achievement of your desired goal is the natural side effect of your new response.
