“From caffeine jitters to late-night snacking? Let’s break free into better habits…”
Hazel finds herself reaching for sugary snacks every evening while watching TV—a habit she’s not proud of but finds hard to resist. She knows the pattern: stress builds during the day, and the treat provides a short-lived escape. But afterwards, comes the frustration. How does one change that?
Good news: habits are not fate. Psychology shows they’re formed through cues, routines and rewards—and those elements can be shifted.
Steps to unpick habits:
Hazel notices that when she feels bored or has finished a long day, she heads straight for the biscuit tin.
Rather than reaching for a snack, Hazel could try brewing a camomile tea and taking five slow moments to breathe and reflect.
That cup of tea, paired with sitting by a window, watching the evening light, can feel just as comforting—without the sugar crash later.
Use a simple chart or an app to note when you follow the new routine. Measuring wins—even small ones—builds motivation.
Hypnotherapy offers another route for shifting habitual responses. Hibiscus Therapy emphasises “habit change” through hypnotherapy that supports lasting change and empowerment in your daily life. hibiscustherapy.com This isn’t about force—it’s about helping your mind form new pathways that align with what you truly want.
How it might work
- Hypnotic suggestion to reinforce new patterns. In a relaxed state, suggestions like “When I feel that evening tug, I naturally reach for soothing warmth instead” can plant seeds of change.
- Addressing underlying emotional hooks. Maybe Hazel’s snacking is less about hunger and more about winding down after a demanding day. Hypnotherapy could help uncover that emotional trigger and reset the response.
- Strengthening self-efficacy. Feeling capable of change is powerful. Working together, hypnotherapy helps build and anchor that sense of agency.
Habit change doesn’t have to be a battle. By spotting cues, gently reshaping routines, and recognising how even small successes matter—you’re creating your own path forward. And should you wish for extra support, Hibiscus Therapy is ready to guide, listen and help you bloom. hibiscustherapy.com
