The ¡®thief¡¯ of time.
Are you constantly late for appointments? Do you find yourself deferring tasks, putting them off till the last minute? Or constantly doing unimportant tasks, while the urgent ones lurk at the back of your mind? Do you feel pressure and guilt afterward? Do you dread approaching deadlines?
Chronic procrastination, other than robbing you of your peace of mind, ruins self esteem and can jeopardize your relationships with family, friends and colleagues. In some cases, it may lead to health problems, debt, divorce and job loss.
Procrastination starts with perceiving a task as difficult, or overwhelming. Once habitualized, it becomes a persistent problem, hampering you from success and efficiency. Contrary to popular notion, it is not a sign of laziness but a mark of a disorganized and unsettled mind. If you have the habit of procrastinating, you are likely to be distracted and unrealistic about time. You feel victimized as you fail to understand your inability to complete your tasks like others, despite putting in the same hours. You are frustrated because you do not know the reasons for your behaviour. You may procrastinate because of, inter-alia,
- Fear of failure or fear of success
- Perfectionism
- Lack of clear goals
- Limiting beliefs
You may possibly have these characteristics-
- Underdeveloped decision making skills
- Inability to focus
- Poor time management skills
- Inability to prioritize
If you are a procrastinator, it is important that you know you were not born one. You learned the habit unconsciously. And that habit can be unlearned. That habit involves a complex pattern of recurring behaviors including emotions, thoughts, and actions which can be best broken down with hypnosis.
Can hypnotherapy help with procrastination?
Hypnosis can help you eliminate subconscious blocks and create new thought patterns. In a relaxed state, your subconscious, prone to suggestion, is fed ideas to build your self-belief and confidence. Your goals are visually and mentally rehearsed and formulated subconsciously, so it becomes almost second nature to work toward them. Hypnotherapy also has an aspect of self-discovery, allowing you to look inward and analyze the reason you procrastinate, unpick the problems and overcome the barriers that hold you back from achieving your goals. Each session builds on the previous, so further positive will be experienced over time.
