Getting Back on Track with Your New Year's Resolutions: A Hypnotherapist's Guide
What were your resolutions this year? Did you make any?
Most people start off with enthusiasm, telling themselves this year will be different, this is the year I’ll get my health / life / finances sorted.
And a month in?
We've all been there – the enthusiasm gradually fading for one reason or another as we face challenges, life demands, and disillusionment if we don’t see results as fast as we’d like. As a hypnotherapist specialising in behaviour change, I've come across this pattern year in and year out, but I've also witnessed remarkable transformations when people approach their goals with the right mindset and support.
The Reality of Resolutions
Over 40% of people resign themselves to their New Year resolutions failing before the end of the first month of the year (InsideOut Mastery, 2024) and Sampson Armand (nd) state that “Statistically 92% of us that made a resolution will not achieve their goal.” According to Ibbetson (2020), over 20% of people did not keep even one of their resolutions in 2020.
In fact, January 19th has been dubbed "Quitter's Day" for this reason, though Utah State University (2025) were even less optimistic this year and moved it to 10th January.
So, why is this the case and what can you do to stack the odds of succeeding in your favour?
