Achieving New Year’s Resolutions of giving up cigarettes, losing weight, more exercise.

Now our thoughts turn to New Year’s – it is a time of reflection and looking forward to the next year.  Where do you want to be this time next year – both physically and emotionally.  You know when you hear a certain song, or smell a certain smell, you can be transported back to the moment that make that particular thing significant to you.  That’s your subconscious mind – whether positive or negative, a emotion was activated to cause something – a sound, smell, view – to be important.  Now we can use that to your advantage in making whatever changes you wish to make – all senses must be activated – you must be able to see it, feel it, smell, hear it, touch it.  (Actually, I’m reminded of an old tv ad for a breakfast cereal – you must salivate at the prospect!).

Take a deep breathe in through your nose for the count of 5, hold for the count of 5 and release through your mouth for the count of 5.  Repeat x 2.  Just relax all your muscle groups – tense and release the muscles.  Think the words “calm and relaxed”.  Now imagine your goal as if it has already been achieved.  Feel how good it feels and notice where you feel this good feeling. 

You can use this for any aspect of your life – but the feeling must be so intense as to knock out/re-write the unwanted habit or thought.
