Defy the Odds: How to Finally Achieve your New Year New You Resolutions

New Year’s resolutions often begin with hope and determination, yet most people find themselves slipping back into old habits. A 2007 study by Richard Wiseman from the University of Bristol found that 88% of individuals who set New Year’s resolutions fail to achieve their goals. Interestingly, only 52% of the study’s 3,000 participants believed they would succeed when they set their resolutions. Why the lack of confidence? And why do so few succeed?

Another study from the University of Pennsylvania’s Weight and Eating Disorders Program in 2012 explored the long-term success rates of restrictive diet and exercise programs. The findings were stark: 65% of dieters returned to their pre-diet weight within three years, and only 5% of individuals maintained weight loss from restrictive diets. That’s just one in 20 people.

The core issue? These programs often neglect the critical mental and emotional work required for lasting success. Diet and exercise are only part of the equation. To truly transform, you need to address the deeper factors influencing your habits and self-perception.

Why Most Resolutions Fail

When it comes to weight loss or any significant lifestyle change, external actions alone aren’t enough. You must dig deeper to uncover the emotional and mental roadblocks that hold you back. Ask yourself:

• Do I feel I need protecting?

• What beliefs or eating patterns have I inherited?

• Are there feelings, like anxiety, that drive my cravings?

• What role is my current weight playing in my life?

Without addressing these underlying questions, you may find yourself stuck in a cycle of temporary progress followed by setbacks.

The Missing Piece: Emotional and Mental Healing

This is where hypnosis and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) can make a transformative difference. These modalities help you:

• Identify and release limiting beliefs that keep you stuck.

• Address the emotional triggers behind cravings and overeating.

• Reframe your relationship with food and your body.

• Build sustainable, healthy habits that align with your goals.

Through hypnosis, you can access your subconscious mind to uncover and shift the patterns driving your behavior. EFT complements this by helping to release emotional blocks through tapping on specific acupressure points.
