Let's get motivated this spring with Solution Focused Hypnotherapy!
Now that spring has finally sprung, it can be a good time to look forward to new beginnings and to the positive changes you want to make. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help individuals achieve the change they desire, whilst keeping their motivation levels high.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help with motivation because most of us start with good intentions - perhaps to lose weight, take up exercise, stop smoking, or change our lives in one way or another - only to find that the motivation has gone out of the window by the middle of summer! We need to understand our true motivation and understand the ‘whys’ in what we want to achieve before we can really fulfil our goals.
So what’s the key to maintaining motivation? What really drives us to make positive changes? Some theories suggest motivation is a sort of positive reward for achieving something, as in telling yourself "If I lose weight I will be confident on the beach this summer", while other theories suggest a converse effect; if we don't do something, then something negative might happen, for example “I had better give up smoking or I may get lung cancer like my father did."
It seems that thinking about positive outcomes or goals usually motivates us more than negative ones, but in that case why do so many of us fail to fulfil our goals, even when we can see that we are going to benefit from completing what we set out to do? There are many reasons why and sometimes it’s just about getting our goal right in the first place.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a modern, research-based combination of psychotherapy and hypnosis, aimed at encouraging people to focus on how they want things to be. I work with you to set your own realistic goals, encouraging you to break things down into smaller chunks or mini-goals, so that progress can be measured and it’s easier to see the movement forward. That in itself is a great motivator.
There’s nothing like seeing yourself progress to help you move further towards your goal, and with the help of a professional Clinical Hypnotherapist, you can maintain your motivation well beyond the first days of spring and fully realise those positive changes!
