Ever wish you could press a button and supercharge your productivity?
When productivity isn’t high, it can feel as though your goals are falling by the wayside. In itself, this can be incredibly stressful. There’s even such a thing as productivity anxiety and you may well have felt it when you’re struggling to make progress.
But here’s some good news. Even if your productivity is almost non-existent, you can turn this around. With that in mind, let’s talk about what it actually means to be productive and what may be behind being unproductive.
What Does Productivity Mean?
We often link productivity with success. Making light of your to-do list and getting all the things ticked off and done feels productive, right?
Productivity isn’t about getting more done.
On a practical level, being productive can make you more efficient so you can make the best use of your time.
Being productive can even become addictive. We get a mini dopamine ‘hit’ every time we accomplish a task. The more productive you are, the more dopamine ‘hits’ you get. It’s the ultimate mood booster!
What Stops Us From Being Productive?
A lot of things can stand in the way of productivity and here are some of the common barriers:
Our Belief Systems
Very often, it’s our internal beliefs, thoughts and behaviours that are hindering productivity. These can become self-fulfilling prophecies that sabotage both your productivity and your success. You probably don’t even realise that they exist, which is why it can be so hard to change them.
Fear
Fear of failure is the obvious one here but there can also be a fear of success. If you’re genuinely productive and achieve your goals, you may have to move out of your comfort zone, for example.
Perfectionism
Can’t tick an item off your to-do list until it’s absolutely perfect? Perfectionism is completely subjective and what may feel ‘not good enough’ in your eyes can be absolutely spot-on for someone else. If you’re waiting for it to be ‘just right’, you risk procrastinating rather than being productive.
Procrastination
We’ve all had those days – the ones where you spent hours scrolling Instagram or going down a rabbit hole on Youtube. Or maybe you’re unable to focus on one thing for more than five seconds so you’re constantly switching between tasks (none of which are productive).
But if this is the norm, it can be a sign of deeper-rooted issues that need to be addressed and resolved. It can stem from internal beliefs or fears.
And there is ‘productive procrastination, which is very common and fools your brain into believing that you’re productive because you’re busy.
Lack of Motivation
If motivation is elusive, productivity can be hard to come by too. This one can be related to your goals (and whether you even have them) or some of the other barriers I’ve mentioned in this blog.
Poor Sleep
Some of the barriers to productivity are purely physical. If you’re sleeping badly, it can affect your focus, memory and problem solving skills and it’s very difficult to crush your goals.
If these types of barriers are affecting your ability to be productive, it’s crucial to get to the root cause(s). They haven’t occurred out of the blue and they aren’t just a part of who you are. They are rooted in your subconscious mind and you may not even be aware of them. This is why it’s so hard to try to think yourself into being more productive and why many productivity tips ultimately fail.
Can You Make Yourself More Productive?
If you’re used to struggling with productivity, you may wonder if it’s even possible to be any different.
The answer is yes, it absolutely is possible!
You don’t need a productivity coach. You don’t even need more time in the day.
What you do need is a way to get to the subconscious reasons for being unproductive. This is how you can change your productivity forever since the barriers that you’re currently facing won’t be an issue.
And since you’re on a hypnotherapist’s website, you’ve probably guessed that hypnotherapy may be the perfect solution. As you’ll see in the next section, the barriers to productivity that I talked about earlier in the blog can be tackled and resolved through hypnotherapy.
How Does Hypnotherapy For Productivity Work?
Hypnotherapy is one of the most effective productivity tools. Whether you want to be more productive at work or in other areas of your life, hypnotherapy can get to the root cause(s) of why you’re struggling with productivity.
Together, we can resolve unhelpful beliefs, thoughts and behaviours to get you unstuck, release any fears you may be unconsciously holding onto, reduce stress, increase resilience and improve your sleep patterns.
Hypnotherapy can tackle these barriers to productivity at their heart and encourage a clear mind and balanced nervous system. It’s a combination that can free you up to achieve your goals with more ease.
If you also struggle with procrastination, hypnotherapy can help here too. Many of the root cause(s) are similar to lack of productivity – not too surprising given that procrastination is so strongly linked to being unproductive! It means hypnotherapy can be equally effective here as it’s getting to the underlying reasons for your procrastination.
Are you ready to boost your productivity?
If your lack of productivity is affecting your life,it’s time to discover the power of hypnotherapy for creating lasting change.
Hypnotherapy for productivity can help you to overcome your barriers to being more productive so that they are no longer sabotaging your goals and holding you back in life. And if you struggle to keep focused on your goals, hypnotherapy for procrastination can also be a part of the work we do together.
How amazing would it be if you could power through your to-do list with ease and make the best use of your time every single day? This is something that can genuinely be possible when you have addressed the root cause(s) of being unproductive.
I would love to help you to harness the incredible benefits of hypnotherapy to boost your productivity and reduce the stress of struggling to achieve your goals.
