What Will the New Year Hold For You?

It is important to associate positive emotion with positive energy/intent
to see your goals manifest the way you want them to.

                As the New Year approaches, many people begin take stock of all they have experienced this year. Some of us have experienced excitement and joy; some of us have experienced sorrow or disappointment. Some events were unexpected. Other events were planned. You may want to do some things over and over again…others, perhaps, not so much.

                As you think about all you have experienced in 2013, now allow your thoughts to turn to what you would like to do next year. What goal(s) do you want to achieve? With whom you want to spend time—and how much time—in the next 365 days? Take a few minutes to visualize, imagine, picture or pretend how you will spend the next year. Is there some place you want to visit or would like to live? What do you need to do get there? Do you want or need new to learn new skills? Is this the year you are going to quit an unhealthy behavior or habit? Set a reasonable and realistic timetable to achieve your goal, including specific plans to achieve it. Your goal(s) should be worded in such a way that your subconscious mind hears and understands that you are in the process of achieving them: i.e., I am quitting smoking, I have dropped (my goal of) pounds, etc.

Remember, the subconscious cannot differentiate between positive and negative, fantasy and reality. Use positive imagery and bring up positive emotions (confidence, enthusiasm, joy, etc.) to associate with these images. It is important to attach positive emotion with positive energy/intent to see your goals manifest the way you want them to.

What Is a Hypnotherapist Qualified to Do? Part 3

    

As December comes to a close, many people are making a list of “New Year's Resolutions” that they would like to achieve in 2012. Following are just some of the issues (behaviors and attitudes) that I can help you change through hypnotherapy and or/therapeutic guided imagery.

Words that are followed by an asterisk (*) indicate issues that do not fall under the vocational/avocational self-improvement parameters of hypnotherapy. I would require a psychological or medical referral to address these issues.
