Six Weeks In: Where Are Your Resolutions Now?

We’re now six weeks into 2025, and if you set a New Year’s resolution, are you finding that you're struggling to stick to them? Perhaps you've stopped altogether? Did you know that research shows that by mid-February, around 80% of people have already abandoned their resolutions.

But why? Were they too ambitious? Did life get in the way? Or is there something deeper at play?

The truth is, most resolutions fail because they rely on willpower alone—and willpower is fighting an uphill battle against your unconscious mind.

Willpower vs. The Unconscious Mind: Who Wins?

If you’ve ever tried to force yourself to break a habit—whether it’s cutting out sugar, exercising more, or reducing stress—you know how exhausting it can be. That’s because willpower relies on conscious effort, and our conscious mind is only responsible for about 10% of our daily decisions.

The other 90%? That’s all unconscious programming—your deeply ingrained habits, beliefs, and automatic responses.

So when you try to consciously override years (or even decades) of unconscious patterns, it can work for a while—weeks, months, maybe even years—but unless the unconscious mind is reprogrammed, those old neural pathways can reactivate at any time. This is why people so often slip back into old habits, despite their best efforts.

How Hypnotherapy Helps You Rewire Your Mindset

Hypnotherapy works by bypassing the conscious resistance and speaking directly to your unconscious mind. Instead of forcing change, it helps you align your unconscious beliefs, habits, and emotions with your conscious goals—so that lasting transformation feels natural and effortless.

Here’s how hypnotherapy can help you:

🔹 Break Free from Self-Sabotage: If you’ve ever found yourself “undoing” your own progress, your unconscious mind may be holding onto outdated beliefs. Hypnosis can help rewire these beliefs.

🔹 Create Lasting Habits: Instead of relying on motivation (which comes and goes), hypnosis helps embed new habits at an unconscious level, making them automatic.

🔹 Reduce Resistance & Cravings: Whether it’s emotional eating, procrastination, or smoking, hypnotherapy helps reframe the root cause of these behaviours—so you don’t feel like you’re in a constant battle with yourself.

🔹 Feel More in Control: Many people think they just “need more willpower,” but hypnotherapy shows you that true change comes from inner alignment, not force.

It’s Not Too Late to Achieve Your 2025 Goals

If your resolutions have started to slip, don’t see it as failure—see it as a sign that a deeper approach is needed. Willpower alone won’t win. But when you work with your unconscious mind instead of against it, real, lasting change becomes possible.
