The problem with rock-bottom promises
from Starfish Hypnosis · host Liz McKean
Remember when Chandler proposed to Monica (the first time)... because he was sorry? Thank goodness she said no, right?In this episode, I'm talking about rock bottom promises, a.k.a. those changes you swear you'll make... because you're sorry. And we do this all the time! Even when it's a great promise with positive potential, the motivation of "sorry" or any type of short-lived pain is unlikely to make it stick.In this episode, we explore:Why motivation matters The cycle of regret → promise → repeat (especially in addiction and relationships)How subconscious triggers quietly run the showHow subconscious work like hypnosis can help interrupt automatic responses at the actual causeThis episode is about moving from reactive regret to conscious choice, and learning how to change in a way that actually lasts.
