How Are Your Resolutions Going?
Why don’t our resolutions last? On average our resolutions last three weeks, this is because that is the amount of time, realistically, that our focus can remain on the habit we are either trying to stop or start. Without changing out core beliefs, we will slip back to our old patterns of behaviour, it is simply too much for out conscious mind to remain alert and override our learned behaviour for much longer than three weeks. Our subconscious mind is our default, and we return to that setting unless we actively set about making changes. However using counselling and/or hypnosis to challenge and reframe those beliefs , then we can make permanent changes.
