To start off this new year...
let us look at how we treat a (re)solution.
This year, let us change the wording. If you consider the fact that we have spent years sticking (and unsticking) to new year's resolutions... you will notice a trend. It is practically inferred that resolutions do not work...because people make them year after year - the same resolutions, with a history of failure. Is it any wonder that we have fallen off the resolution wagon by February (or maybe even earlier...dare I say January 6th)? After failure time and time again, year after year - how can we convince ourselves that this year will be different? I have to think that "to stick" implies that it can be unstuck. Maybe, we should super glue it?
Better yet, let us solve it (whatever "it" is).
Let us take a moment to reflect... and ask ourselves; What is the reason we have the issue that we have?
Our thoughts can change our reality. Pay particular attention to the thoughts that surround 'the issue' that we have. If we have a habit of saying, to ourselves or others, "I always smoke after I eat." change that to "I never smoke after I eat." or maybe it is, "I have a weakness for chocolate." we can change that to, "I only like chocolate occasionally."
I realize it is easier through hypnosis to change these behaviors, however...we can make serious progress by becoming self aware. By telling ourselves how we wish we behaved, acting as if our desired behavior is already so, can help us change our behavior. Repeat, repeat, repeat.
