As we step into the year of the snake, is there any habit or behaviour you would like to change? Perhaps youโre reflecting on habits like mindless scrolling, procrastination, or nail biting, or dependencies such as junk food cravings or smoking that are holding you back. ย Many habits start off beneficial, like exercising, but can quickly morph into self-sabotaging dependencies if we feel we can’t live without them. A healthy relationship with a habit means being committed yet flexible enough to adapt when life changes. But when a behaviour becomes a necessity, it can negatively impact your mindset, relationships, and physical health.

Repetitive choices become ingrained routines. What once served a purpose can turn into something we feel we can’t live without, often filling a deeper void โ be it a longing for validation, a distraction from fears, or a need for connection. This is why many people find themselves stuck, making the same New Yearโs resolutions year after year. Our subconscious drives these behaviours, making it challenging to break free without addressing the root cause.
Our subconscious mind, which drives most of our behaviours, perpetuates these cycles without our conscious awareness, and it can take extreme willpower to create changes unless you address the issue at that level. This is why modalities like hypnotherapy are so powerful โ they help address the root cause andย reprogramme your mind at the subconscious level. Other tools that can dismantle negative patterns include guided visualisation, affirmations, and mindfulness practices.
As we work on reprogramming our subconscious, we begin to cultivate healthier habits that align with our true desires. This journey requires patience and commitment, but the rewards are life-changing. By freeing ourselves from habits that have turned into needs, we can reclaim our power and open the door to a more authentic and fulfilling life.
A Simple Guide To Break Behavioural Patterns:
- Identify Emotional Triggers โ Recognise what leads you to the behaviour โ whether it’s the time of day, workload, or certain social associations.
- Positive Affirmations โ Reinforce your commitment with empowering phrases like โI am capable,โ โI can handle challenges,โ or โI am a happy non-smoker.โ
- Seek Support โย Inform your loved ones about your goals and ask for their support. A strong network can significantly impact your journey.
- Consult A Professional โ Address the root cause of your dependency. Hypnotherapy can shift your belief system, helping you feel fulfilled without the habit.
- Reinforce Your New Identity โ As you change, declare your new self to the world.
Letting go of habits is a process, not a single event โ each small step you take matters. As you reflect on what you’d like to change in the year of the snake, remember that transformation starts from within.
