I know, we’re less than a week in to the new year.

If you’ve kept all of them, congratulations!

But go on, admit it, have you really kept all those resolutions you made?

This article in the  American Chronical has more details, but the main reasons we do this are:

1. We make the resolutions too complicated or too severe to follow.
2. They’re negative - focusing on what you’re not going to do,  rather than what you are going to do.
3. We’re denying an important need instead of working out how to change that to something positive. So for instance instead of focusing on our weight and over-eating, we should be looking at how to enjoy our food more.
4. We expect to fail. We make resolutions but don’t really expect to keep them. Which becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
5. We don’t get any support. Instead of telling the whole world, concentrate on just telling those people who will support you in your goals.

So, if you’ve already given up on your New Years resolutions, read more about repairing them in this article.

And if you need help with anything specific, there’s almost certainly a hypnosis track available for it in our hypnosis store.

January 4th is World Hypnotism Day.

Look out for events and open days near you as hypnotists the world over share their expertise and maybe even give out sample hypnosis sessions.

The official World Hypnotism Day site is here.

Amongst other things, there’s a box where you can sign up to get 4 hypnosis audios covering weight loss, stopping smoking, feeling younger and sleeping soundly.

There’s also an event locater so you see if they know about anything happening close to you.

Another year.

Another batch of New Years resolutions.

How often have you made a resolution in the heat of the moment, only to realize a few days later that there’s no way you can stick to it without some form of outside help.

We all start the new year fresh. It’s really going to be different this time. Honest.

Then a few days later, we’re back in the old routine. Back at work. Back taking the kids to school. Whatever we’ve been doing, year in, year out, for what seems like forever.

So how can you make this year different?

Start by picking one or at most two resolutions.

Not some great big list, like Earl carries around.

Just one or at most two resolutions. So you can remember them. And stand a much better chance of sticking to them.

Next, announce your resolution to as many people as possible.

Tell friends and work colleagues.

Post it on Facebook.

Write about it on your blog.

Then, get help to keep it.

Most of us make our resolutions as breaking a habit we want rid of. Whether it’s carrying too much weight, quitting smoking, whatever.

One of the easiest ways to get help is with hypnosis.

You don’t need to book a session with a local hypnotist (although these are often excellent and can be tailored to your exact needs). Instead, you can act on impulse and download a hypnosis track like one of the hundreds of hypnosis MP3s in our store.

Then simply listen to the track on a daily basis. You’ll find yourself keeping your resolution longer this year just with this simple trick!
