Beat the January Slump and Boost Your Energy

Ah, January. The festive glow has faded, the days are still dark, and if you’re anything like me, curling up under a blanket feels far more appealing than tackling your to-do list. Feeling tired, unmotivated, and stuck in a slump? You’re not alone. But there’s a way to turn things around, feel energised, and start looking forward to life again.


At Malcolm Struthers Hypnotherapy, I take a holistic approach to helping you recharge. By combining hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and tools from CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), I help clients create lasting change. Let’s explore how this blend of techniques can help you reclaim your energy.


How Hypnotherapy and EFT Work


Hypnotherapy works by tapping into your subconscious—the part of your mind that drives habits, thoughts, and behaviours. In a calm, focused state, your mind becomes more open to positive suggestions, making it easier to shift unhelpful patterns. Think of it as giving your mental operating system a much-needed update.


EFT, or Emotional Freedom Techniques, complements this beautifully. Often referred to as “tapping,” it involves gently tapping on acupressure points while focusing on specific emotions or challenges. This helps release stress, reduce emotional blocks, and restore balance. Together, hypnotherapy and EFT can create a powerful reset, leaving you feeling lighter, calmer, and more energised.


How Can This Help with Energy?


Here are some key ways hypnotherapy and EFT can help tackle that January slump:


1. Sleep Better, Feel Better


Sleep is the foundation of good energy, but many of us struggle to get enough of it—whether it’s due to bedtime anxiety, racing thoughts, or broken sleep patterns. Hypnotherapy helps you rewire those patterns, making it easier to switch off, relax, and drift into a deep, restorative sleep. When combined with EFT, it can also ease the stress and worry that keep you up at night.


2. Reduce Stress and Lighten the Load


Stress is an energy thief. When your mind is stuck in overdrive, it’s no wonder you feel drained. Hypnotherapy can help you uncover the root of your stress and introduce healthier ways of coping. Adding EFT to the mix provides an immediate sense of relief, helping you release built-up tension. Together, these tools can give you the clarity and calm needed to move forward.


3. Rediscover Your Motivation


When energy is low, motivation often follows suit. That inner voice starts whispering things like “What’s the point?” or “I can’t do it.” Hypnotherapy helps uncover and reframe these limiting beliefs, replacing them with empowering thoughts. By integrating NLP techniques, we’ll focus on creating a mindset that inspires action and helps you feel ready to tackle whatever comes your way.


4. Build Positive Habits That Stick


Maybe you’ve set some goals for the new year—getting outside more, eating healthier, or carving out time for self-care—but sticking to them feels like a struggle. Hypnotherapy works with your subconscious to make these changes feel less like a chore and more like second nature. Whether it’s establishing a bedtime routine or making time for exercise, I’ll help you create habits that last.


5. Practice Self-Compassion


When you’re feeling low, it’s easy to be hard on yourself. But here’s the truth: being kind to yourself is one of the most energising things you can do. Hypnotherapy helps shift that negative self-talk, promoting greater self-compassion. With this change, you’ll find it easier to rest when you need to, avoid burnout, and take life one step at a time.
