Learn How to Let Go When You Want to Hold On Tighter
Summer rolls in with electricity in the air. We buzz with excitement as the plans we’ve made during the winter are about to unfold.
Sunny days by the ocean, picture-perfect moments at family events, and showing off a toned up body that was shaped by torching calories that minute the clock struck midnight on January 2nd.
You were overjoyed by how perfectly your plans would play out.
But . . .
The beach was rained out, your mother and sister-in-law refused to be in photos together, and you lost the motivation to work out sometime mid-February.
The mental image of how life was supposed to be has been shattered. You feel so off course that you just want to climb back into bed until next January.
The good news is that you can still recapture your joy even when you have to tear up your plans.
Hypnosis can help you pivot emotionally when your reality doesn’t match the dream.
How we get trapped by expectations:
If you’re feeling let down by life, it’s not your fault. By nature, humans are programmed to plan in order to survive.
But our well-meaning plans can also set us up not just disappointment, but a real sense of loss.
Frustration, resentment, and sadness can quietly build up over a season full of letdowns, leaving us wondering why we even bothered. We feel robbed of something that only ever existed in our imagination. It almost seems silly.
There’s nothing wrong with hoping and planning. In fact, it’s the sign of a healthy interest in life.
The problems arise when we’ve tied our happiness to a specific outcome. There’s a particular kind of grief in watching a carefully planned dream collapse in real time, i.e. the dream island vacation that was spent indoors due to inclement weather.
How hypnosis helps you manage expectations:
Hypnosis can help you by keeping your inner world steady. While it can’t change any outcomes, hypnosis can help you maintain your inner peace when plans go awry.
The real work of hypnosis is in your subconscious, where your habits, emotional triggers, and deeply held beliefs reside. For instance, if things don’t go exactly as planned during summer activities, meet-ups, or family events, you will certainly be disappointed.
But instead of letting it go, you may internalize that disappointment as failure. So, if things don’t go according to your plan in the future, you’ll beat yourself up over it.
And a new belief is formed . . . everything must go perfectly, or you’ve failed yourself and everyone else. And this becomes a feedback loop.
By accessing that deeper level of the subconscious mind, a trained hypnotist can actually shift the unhealthy thought patterns and trigger responses that make disappointment the default emotion. Through hypnosis, you can release the feeling of “it has to be this way” and embrace a calmer mindset.
The hypnotist starts by helping you enter a deeply relaxed state. Then, they will ask a series of questions designed to zero in on the heart of the issue. Perhaps your mother set the bar high with rigid expectations, and that experience found its way into your subconscious.
An experienced hypnotherapist can dive deep into the latent behaviors and emotions lodged in the subconscious and “rewire” them with healthy ones.
From then on, you’ll be able to roll with the punches when plans go sideways. You can detach from that type of unhealthy thinking and feel good about embracing life’s messiness. After all, that’s where memories are made.
Learn to relax with hypnosis:
You’ll get the most out of life when you make plans, but letting life flow naturally allows the most wonderful surprises to unfold. You deserve to sit back and relax so you can connect with your loved ones, colleagues, or even nature.
When you’re relaxed, you set the tone for others. And when everyone can rest easy, they can be themselves, giving you the most perfectly authentic experience.
Hypnosis can help you calmly pivot when things don’t go as expected.
