Every January, millions of people set ambitious New Year’s resolutions like quitting smoking, losing weight, or finally overcoming procrastination. Yet, despite the excitement and motivation that the new year brings, research shows that over 80% of these resolutions fail by mid-February.
So, why does this happen year after year?
According to Leicester-based hypnotherapist Kam Kaur, the issue isn’t laziness or a lack of motivation—it’s how our brains are wired.
“People rely too much on willpower, which is like a phone battery. It starts strong but drains quickly under stress or fatigue,” Kam explains. “Hypnotherapy works differently. It strengthens the subconscious mind, where our habits and behaviours are rooted, making change feel natural and effortless.”
Why Resolutions Fail
Kam identifies three common barriers that cause New Year’s resolutions to fail:
1. Willpower Fades
Willpower might help in the short term, but it’s unreliable when life gets busy or stressful. Without a deeper foundation, people often find themselves reverting to old habits.
2. Habits Are Subconscious
While the conscious mind sets goals, it’s the subconscious mind that drives daily behaviors. If the subconscious isn’t reprogrammed, we operate on “autopilot,” and our old habits take over.
3. No Mental Preparation for Setbacks
Most resolutions are made without a plan for setbacks, self-doubt, or emotional challenges. When obstacles arise, people lose momentum and give up.
“These challenges trip people up year after year,” Kam explains. “But the good news is that hypnotherapy addresses all three by working directly with the subconscious mind.”
How Hypnotherapy Helps You Stick to Resolutions
Unlike self-help techniques that focus on the conscious mind, hypnotherapy works with the subconscious, which controls 95% of our thoughts and actions. By accessing this powerful part of the mind, hypnotherapy helps remove mental roadblocks, reprogram habits, and strengthen emotional resilience.
Here’s how hypnotherapy helps your goals stick:
- Break Free from Old Habits
Hypnotherapy addresses the root causes of behaviours like emotional eating, procrastination, or smoking, replacing them with healthier patterns. - Reprogram for Success
Positive suggestions introduced during hypnosis align your subconscious mind with your goals, making progress feel natural and effortless. - Overcome Self-Doubt
Hypnotherapy quiets negative mental chatter, fostering confidence and clarity in your ability to succeed. - Build Emotional Resilience
Hypnosis strengthens your ability to handle setbacks calmly, helping you stay focused and motivated even when challenges arise.
“Instead of battling against yourself, hypnotherapy aligns your mind and goals, so change feels automatic,” Kam says.
What Happens During a Hypnotherapy Session?
For those who are new to hypnotherapy, the process is simple, relaxing, and deeply transformative:
1. Relaxation
Sessions begin with guided relaxation, helping clients enter a calm, focused state, much like the moments before falling asleep.
2. Accessing the Subconscious
In this state, the mind becomes more open to positive suggestions. Kam works with clients to reframe limiting beliefs and create empowering mental patterns.
3. Locking in Change
Before returning to full awareness, the new suggestions are “anchored” into the subconscious mind, making them feel natural and familiar.
“You’re always fully aware and in control during hypnotherapy,” Kam adds. “Most people say they feel calm, light, and ready to tackle their goals.”
Why 2025 Is the Year for Change
Kam is encouraging people in Leicester to look beyond quick fixes and embrace an approach that works from the inside out.
“This year, instead of relying on willpower, focus on changing the patterns and beliefs that hold you back,” Kam advises. “With hypnotherapy, you can create a foundation for long-lasting success.”
