Does hypnosis (hypnotherapy) really work to help break big bad habits like procrastination?
Yes, if you believe. I’ve been hypnotized twice. Once with a comedian on stage and once to quit smoking. You can’t do anything under hypnosis that goes against your core values, judgment or wouldn’t normally do any other time. I quit smoking for 8 wks. until I went to a club with friends and they were smoking and I was drinking. So putting myself in a vulnerable situation, I broke my own will power and gave into the temptation. Knowing what activities that draw your attention away from what you should be doing will also help. Then figure out how come your immediate pleasure of those activities are more important than the long term pleasure from completing the task. Then try to come up with some things that will increase the pleasure of the task you have been putting off. And the pain associated with giving into procrastination. This mental list or written list will help if you decide to go to the hypnotherapy.
