SA Weightloss Hypnosis

The cold, gloomy wintery days are behind us and spring is well and truly upon us… I don’t know about you but I am seriously grateful for the warmer days, sunshine and more daylight hours to do more of the things that I love.

Chances are if you’re anything like me (and most other people) you’ve probably slipped off the bandwagon over the winter and maybe you’re feeling a little bit guilty about it. The good news is, I’m here to remind you that it’s 100% normal to spend more time hibernating indoors and indulging our senses over the winter, in fact it’s completely natural! 

But now that Spring is here, it’s a great time to take inspiration from the world around us and to reset our habits and mindset for the warmer months. 

“So, how do I do that?” 

I’m so glad you asked! Let me guide you through my steps to a happier, healthier you. 

First thing’s first:

Leave your expectations at the door. Let go of self-judgement, don’t expect that you’re going to change your habits and mindset overnight. 

Remind yourself every day that creating new habits takes time and that slipping up is a natural part of the process. 

Create new habits: 

According to research conducted by Phillippa Lally- a health psychology researcher at University College London it takes at least 66 days for a new habit to become automatic, and while creating a new habit is hard work, there are some things that you can do to make it easier for yourself. 

1. Start small 

2. Don’t expect miracles 

3. Commit to making a change

4. Remember that you’re human 

5. Don’t get stuck in the past 

6. Set reminders to keep you on track 

7. Buddy up with someone who can keep you accountable 

8. Be kind to yourself 

Create a routine: 

As humans we’re creatures of habit, routine comes naturally to us. 

Think you don’t have a routine? Think again… The order in which you prepare for bed each night, that’s a routine. The things that you do weekly, that’s part of your routine. By adding your new habits into the routine that you already have you are make it easier for yourself to make long term changes. 

For example, if you’re committing to moving your body every morning, here’s how you can add in some exercise to your morning routine. 

1. Prepare your workout gear the night before 

2. Prepare your mind  the night before and set an intention that you will get up in the morning

3. Decide what you are going to do in the morning - walk, run,, gym, online program, yoga ect.

4. Go to bed earlier

5. Set an alarm to wake up 30 minutes earlier 

6. Move your body in ways that you love

Want to eat healthier? Make a point of creating a meal plan each week and if you don’t have time to cook everyday, carve out some time on your day off or weekend to meal prep in advance. 

Invest in rest:

While it’s all well and good to do everything you can to feel happier and healthier within yourself, it’s also important to make sure that we’re giving your body enough time to rest and recover. 

Make sure you’re getting at least 7 hours of quality sleep per night. 

Get help: 

And remember, you don’t have to do everything on your own. Getting in with a group of like minded people will help keep you accountable and feel supported.
