Ever wondered why procrastination feels like an insurmountable hurdle and how it ties into our mental health? Join us as we unpack the complex web of procrastination, motivation, and mental health with Craig Fookes, a clinical hypnotherapist known for his straightforward approach. In this episode, we promise you'll uncover effective strategies to overcome the paralysis that procrastination induces and find new ways to stay motivated, especially in demanding professions like hypnotherapy and well-being.
Craig Fookes shares his transformative journey from financial services to becoming a clinical hypnotherapist and mindfulness instructor. Discover how his personal battles with mental health fueled his career switch and provided him with unique insights into the male mental health stigma. Craig and I explore the concept of the comfort zone, the neurochemical processes involved in learning new skills, and the often overlooked but crucial importance of pushing past our comfort zones to achieve long-term goals.
From examining the brain's prioritization of physical health to navigating the emotional intricacies of internal conflicts, this episode sheds light on why we fall into avoidance behaviors and how we can visualize our best selves through hypnotherapy. We touch on the pitfalls of over-scheduling, the importance of rest and boredom, and the dangers of conflating personal development tools with mental health recovery. Tune in to gain a nuanced understanding of motivation and learn practical tips for achieving personal growth and fulfillment.
