Are you beginning to set goals for this New Year and finding the process overwhelming? This is not surprising! After all of the busyness and excitement of Christmas it can be tricky to get focused and motivated.
It can be hard enough to decide “I want to do that thing” (whatever that “thing” is), and mentally commit to it, let alone figuring out the HOW of getting there.
Starting the journey towards achieving your goals (whether they be around health, work, mindset or any other area of your life) can often feel like a daunting task that’s filled with both excitement and uncertainty. As someone who supports people in their journey’s towards overcoming challenges and achieving their goals, I want to emphasise the importance of breaking down your goals into smaller, more manageable chunks.
Imagine your goal as a vast landscape, filled with peaks and valleys, each representing a different aspect of your journey. These peaks can seem overwhelming from a distance. However, by breaking them down into smaller, more accessible chunks, you're essentially creating stepping stones that make the ascent more gradual and achievable.
Here’s why it’s important to break goals down:
Helps to See One Thing at a Time: Think of goals like solving puzzles. Breaking them into small steps helps us focus on one piece at a time. It's like having a torch to see where to go without feeling lost.
Builds Confidence: Goals are like building a tower of blocks. Each small step is like adding a block. When we finish one step, it's like adding a block to our tower of confidence. Before we know it, we've built something amazing!
Increases Motivation: Picture goals like a game. Every small step we take is a win. When we win, our brain produces happy hormones including serotonin and dopamine. It's like scoring points in a game – it makes us want to keep playing and moving forward.
Breaking down your end goal into small steps and mini goals enables you to make progress in a manageable way, preventing you from becoming overwhelmed.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy provides a supportive framework for guiding you towards your best hopes and goals. By shifting the focus away from problems, it helps you to reduce the feelings of stress that can stop you from taking action.
Through small, weekly steps, it aims to enhance your confidence and motivation, helping you navigate towards your objectives. This approach is centered around understanding your aspirations, utilising positive therapy, and incorporating hypnosis in each session to create a nurturing environment that propels you towards success.
Anything is possible, and when you break things down into small steps you can achieve great things.
