Zen Tip #11 - Tools to Help You Achieve Your New Year's Goals

Have you set goals or resolutions for the New Year yet? If you haven’t, it's never too early or too late to start. The New Year is a great time to set new goals and to gain that motivation you need to succeed.

If you have struggled trying to achieve your New Year's resolutions, maybe you simply need a jump-start. Using a tool like hypnosis makes it much easier to achieve your goals. Hypnosis is both relaxing and effective when it comes to giving you that motivation you need to succeed.

Sometimes our minds work against us. We may want to lose that weight, stop smoking or make more money, but we just can't get motivated to make it happen. Hypnosis works on those deep levels of the mind, helping you make change effortless.

If you have tried to lose weight or stop smoking in the past, you know how difficult it can be. Life can be stressful enough without adding on some other goal that is challenging. When you relax into hypnosis, your brain literally slows down and reaches that alpha brainwave frequency, where changes are more easily made.

The subconscious mind, which is accessed through hypnosis and deep meditation, does not differentiate between reality and imagination, so the suggestions received while in trance are taken as fact.

It has been shown that the mind and body heal much more quickly when relaxed. Both hypnosis and meditation help evoke the relaxation response, which helps you gain clarity and focus by slowing down your breathing and relaxing your muscles.

In one study by Dr. Randy Zusman, a physician at Massachusetts General Hospital, patients who were suffering from high blood pressure who tried a meditation-based relaxation program for 3 months in 2008 enjoyed a 40% drop in their blood pressure.

These numbers clearly show that something simple like a daily meditative practice can make a big difference when it comes to your health and vitality.

Stress is another huge reason why something simple like activating the relaxation response is so effective in helping you overcome challenges.

Stress is a major contributor to many diseases, so finding ways to counteract it may just be the key to optimal health and wellness. When your body is exposed to stress, it triggers the stress response, which enables you to act quickly. Stress also causes an adrenaline rush or fight or flight response and when adrenaline is released, your breathing becomes faster, your pulse races and your blood pressure rises. A regular program of meditation or hypnosis can help you ease stress and anxiety away and it can do wonders for your mental health.

Taking that time each and every day to relax is extremely important in terms of achieving your goals. You can do a simple meditation or hypnosis practice in as little as 20-30 minutes so it doesn't take a lot of time.

If you have been thinking about making some important changes in your life, do yourself a favor and give yourself a little jump-start. Your mind and body will thank you.
