Focus on taking one small step forward in the right direction. And even when the struggle is real, remind yourself that it always feels better to be exhausted from taking a small and meaningful step forward, than it does to be tired of doing absolutely nothing.
Here is a hypnotherapy script to help you start dedicating time every day to small, meaningful changes:
Induction
Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow your body to relax, letting go of any tension or stress. Imagine yourself sinking deeper into relaxation with each breath.
Imagine yourself standing at the top of a staircase, with each step leading you deeper into relaxation. With each breath, take a step down, feeling your body becoming heavier, sleepier, and more relaxed.
As you reach the bottom of the staircase, imagine yourself in a peaceful, calm place, surrounded by warmth and comfort. This is your safe space, where you can dedicate time every day to small, meaningful changes.
Deepening
Allow yourself to settle even deeper into relaxation, feeling your body becoming heavier, your mind quieter, and your spirit more open.
Imagine a warm, soothing light filling your entire body, dissolving any remaining tension or stress. As this light circulates through your body, it awakens your sense of motivation and commitment.
Dedicating Time
Now, bring to mind a small, meaningful change you’d like to make in your daily life. It could be anything from taking a 10-minute walk in the morning to practicing a new skill for 15 minutes a day.
As you hold this change in your mind, imagine a small, delicate clock in front of you. This clock represents your commitment to dedicating time every day to small, meaningful changes.
Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, imagine gently setting the clock to the specific time you will dedicate to this activity each day. See yourself committing to this routine, with motivation and enthusiasm.
Repeat the following affirmation to yourself, allowing the words to sink deeply into your subconscious mind:
“I dedicate time every day to small, meaningful changes. I commit to making progress, no matter how small.”
Visualization
Imagine yourself sticking to your new routine, day after day. See yourself making small, but significant, progress each day. See yourself feeling more confident, more motivated, and more fulfilled as you continue to make progress.
As you visualize yourself making progress, feel a sense of excitement and anticipation growing within you. Know that you are making a positive impact on your life, one small step at a time.
Reframing
Now, imagine reframing your thoughts about making small changes. Instead of thinking “it’s too small” or “it won’t make a difference,” see each small change as a step towards a bigger goal.
Repeat the following affirmation to yourself, allowing the words to become a part of your inner dialogue:
“I trust that small, meaningful changes will lead to significant progress. I celebrate every small win.”
Closing
Take a moment to integrate the insights and feelings from this journey. Know that you have the power to dedicate time every day to small, meaningful changes.
As you slowly open your eyes, remember to carry this sense of commitment and motivation with you, and to return to it whenever you need to make progress towards your goals.
Repeat the following affirmation to yourself, as you go about your day:
“I dedicate time every day to small, meaningful changes. I commit to making progress, no matter how small.”
