We’re all guilty of putting off important tasks at some point in our lives.

That essay that was due last weekend is still left incomplete. There are dirty dishes in the sink, the laundry has been left unattended, and the fridge is nearly empty.

Does all of this sound familiar to you?

Procrastination is our worst enemy. And while others view it as “sheer laziness,” you know that sometimes, it takes immense effort to find the energy to get even the most basic tasks done.

While there are plenty of methods to combat procrastination, studies show that Ericksonian hypnosis (as well as other types of hypnosis) has been proven to be effective in overcoming procrastination.

But the question is, how does it work? Let’s take a look:

It Helps You Get to the Root of the Problem

Let’s get one thing out of the way: we’re not born to multitask. Studies show that humans are not good at multitasking. Our brain is designed to focus on one task at a time.

But there could also be a good reason why you’re unable to complete all your chores or work on that assignment that was due last week.

Hypnosis can help you gain access to your subconscious mind and figure out what it is that’s stopping you from getting work done.

Is it fear of failure? Is it fear of not being good enough? Do you want the work to be done a certain way and that’s why you’re dreading working on the tasks?

It’ll Help Relax Your Mind

While hypnosis doesn’t “control” your mind (unlike what the myths state), it can go a long way in helping you relax your mind.

Stress is one of the reasons why we avoid certain types of tasks. This is because we’re afraid of facing the problem or having to deal with it immediately. Stress can zap you of your energy and even result in mental fatigue.

According to a study published by the National Institutes of Health’s National Library of Medicine, six out of nine patients reported significant positive effects on hypnosis on their stress levels.  

Helps Get Your Focus Back

A lack of focus is also one of the reasons why people procrastinate. This is because we’ve subconsciously trained our mind to focus on things that distract us.

Hypnosis can help by encouraging your mind to focus less on the things that worry you and more on finding solutions to myriads of problems.
