Do you find yourself believing that negative situations will last forever? Or that positive experiences are just lucky flukes? This mindset, known as Permanence, can trap you in a cycle of self-doubt and inaction.
What it sounds like:
"I'm never going to understand this."
"Things will never get better."
"I only did well because the test was easy this time."
"My depression will never go away."
Believing that bad things are permanent can stop you from trying to change them. If you think you’ll always be bad at something, why invest the effort to improve? This mindset can become a self-fulfilling prophecy, leading to more failures and less motivation.
On the flip side, dismissing your successes as luck prevents you from building confidence. You might find yourself working harder but never truly trusting your own abilities.
Shift your perspective by adding time boundaries to your thoughts. Replace “always” or “never” with “right now” or “lately.”
Acknowledge your role in your successes, and remember that most challenges are temporary, even when they feel endless.
Change the original thought of: "I failed this interview; I'll never be good at interviewing."
Upgrade to: "I struggled with this interview; I just haven't mastered interviewing yet, but I can always learn."
The word “yet” is powerful! It recognises where you are now without shutting the door on future growth.
How Hypnotherapy Can Help:
Hypnotherapy can be a transformative tool in overcoming the trap of permanence. By accessing your subconscious beliefs, hypnotherapy helps identify and reframe these limiting beliefs, allowing you to see setbacks as temporary challenges rather than permanent failures.
Through guided visualisation techniques, hypnotherapy can assist you in building confidence, enhancing your self-belief, and fostering a growth mindset. It encourages you to embrace change and view your achievements as a reflection of your skills and efforts, not just luck.
