“Hitting the Wall”
We’re three weeks into 2012 and I’m sure you guys have either stopped some bad habits or created some new positive ones, so a big well done to those of you that have!
However research shows that a new habit takes anywhere between 21 and 28 days to become programmed in to your unconscious mind (NB Hypnosis speeds this process up), and what I have discovered personally and from my clients is that this week is crucial to up your game!
Why?
Well the brain has a protection mechanism to stop you from taking on any old habits, so between weeks three and four it tests you with negative dialogue and feelings to see if you really want this new behaviour to be taken on permanently.
How can I overcome this?
Firstly prepare yourself for the next 7 – 10 days by getting more sleep and easing back on your life schedule a bit so you have more room for manoeuvre if life throws you a curve ball.
Whenever you hear that critical voice telling you to give up on your goal, say firmly in your mind “STOP!”, then take a nice deep breath and distract yourself by doing something different.
Remember once these 10 days are over things will get easier.
If you haven’t set your goals yet or are not happy with the effort you made I’m running a “Goal Setting” Workshop at the next Personal Development Group, check it out below! (NB If you prefer to work with me one to one, email or call me to secure your sessions.)
Personal Development Group – “Goal Setting” 10am – 12pm 4th February 2012
This year I’ve looked hard at how I can make things better for you based on your feedback and I’ve come up with a few changes.
Firstly I’ve changed the time to the morning so that you guys can leave the group taking all of the positive messages into the rest of your day; secondly I’ve changed the venue as the previous venue doesn’t open at this time and lastly we’ve changed it to the first Saturday in the month rather than the last. I’d like your feedback as always.
- The “Goal Setting” workshop will be run by myself where we look at the things we leant from last year, what we liked we want to continue and those things we want to learn and grow from. Bring a pen and paper as we’ll be doing some exercises where you have to really look at yourself so you can not only aim for the goals you really want, but know the areas you need to work on in order to overcome potential challenges…once again it’s only £5, please email me to let me know you’re attending at info@wsoh.co.uk.
- Date, Time and Venue – Saturday 4th February 2012, 10am – 12pm at “Serene Body & Mind” 93 Spon End, Coventry, CV1 3HF. The venue has a free car park on the side of the building where the entrance is.
As you know I’ve started the year with massive enthusiasm so I hope you can join me and boost your motivation so you have the best year yet!
