Loosing weight - the real success depends on your thinking and your self-belief.

How are you feeling after Christmas?  Great! or perhaps wishing you had eaten and drunk a little less and exercised a little more? Or is this a winter syndrome when you eat too much to comfort yourself for the short days and cold weather?  Or is it a more persistent battle? 

Developing different habits in eating and exercising has as much to do with our thinking as the foods that we eat, and the regularity of exercise.  Really getting a grip and developing solid healthy thinking and life style will give anyone greater energy, self-confidence, and a much more powerful grasp of their life. 

I offer 2 programmes for those who want to loose weight :-
The standard programme includes 5 days detox, and then a minimum of 4 weeks with two meals replaced with a low GI meal replacement, and a weekly skype group call - for the price of the products only. 
The Platinum programme includes 5 days detox, and then a minimum of 4 weeks with two meals replaced with a low GI meal replacement, plus a one to one 30 minute coaching call before you start, and then a daily 5-10 minute coaching call, text or email to develop the thinking and self belief to keep you on the path of a good healthy life style - for the price of the products + the coaching package.

Both programmes provide information on preparing yourself for change, and your food cupboard contents before you start the programme, information on low GI shopping and recipes and snacks, water intake and gradually increasing your level of exercise, frequency of eating etc.

Get ahead .. be ready. Plan for your 2012 NOW!

2011 - how have you done? If you subcribe to the good habit of setting yourself goals for the year .. how have you done so far?   If you did set yourself some goals - did you write them down? Did you put them somewhere that you could see them every day?   I  hope you are pleased with your progress.   Where ever you have got to - you will have come to some realisations about yourself, and the goals you set.  You will certainly have learned plenty.    One of the presuppositions of NLP is that there is no failure, only feedback.  So as you look back over your year what feedback do you get?     Be very honest with yourself so that you can use the feedback to clearly help you with your next steps - which can be 'what can I do now to make the last 6 weeks weeks to be really proud of. '       Read on .....

The leaves might be falling from the trees as they come to the end of this year, but deep inside they are gathering their resources for next year and their next surge of growth.

Where are you heading? The end of the year is a perfect place to review where you have got to and to look once again at where you are heading.  What is it that you want in your life?  What is it that you want in your career?     Make a list of all the things you want to do in your life - make a list and then categorise that list according to proximity in time - what you want to do before the year is out, the next 3 months, 6 months, 12 months,24 months, the places you want to visit the things you want to do, the relationship you dream of, how the life you dream of will be what you and every one in your life will be doing in 12, months 2 years , 5 years, 10 years time.   (Many people do not know what they want.  Many people have a greater sense of what they don't want.  If you are one of those first of all write down what you do not want any longer in your life, and then turn each point around to what you would rather have instead - what several things would you rather have instead)   IS what you are doing now going to enable you to be or do what you most want to do in your life?   If it is - fantastic!   If it isn't  then consider what can you do now, and get in place to do next year that will really take you to the place that you know you want to be?   What options are available to you?   Consider that if someone else can do what you dream of - then it is a certainty that you can too.  All you have to do is to take action.		Goals on multiple time frames keep you grounded and growing.

What do you want for next year? and the next? Is it more of the same?  If so that is fantastic! If not start to look outside of the box.   What options are available to you?   Consider that if someone else can do what you dream of - then it is a certainty that you can too.  All you have to do is to take action.   So what do you need, to get where you are wanting to be?     Most people would say that their happiness depends on their health, their finances, and the time that they have, to do what they want and need to do.   Most people would say that they want to have more money, to have more free time, to exercise and have fun, and enjoy their families and friends, and to feel less stressed and healthier.  They also say that typically what they are doing now  wont get them to that point.     So if that is true for you ... what could you do to get to where you want to get .. to have that freedom, health and  happiness in your life.  To live the life you were born to live.  No one was born to doggedly endlessly serve other systems, doing tasks that in truth make little difference except to serve that system.     What could you do easily in your own time this coming year that would gradually enable you to get where you really want?		Just like any magnificent tree - keep your eye on your goal - have lots of them - but each goal - near or far - is like the sun to the tree.  Keep your eye on the goal and what ever comes your way, you can keep going and find your way to your goal, and then the next goal and then the next.

The Options available - to get your dreams fulfilled So what options are there?   You can keep doing what you are doing right now - because it is exactly what you want at this moment - and that is great.   Or....   Go for a promotion - check out what's available, do you have the right qualifications, if not what do you need, how much will it cost, do you have the right mind set confidence to go for it?   Or ....   Change jobs - again check out what's available, do you have the right qualifications, if not what do you need, how much will it cost?  etc etc   Or .....   Take on another job to build up resources - you have to think how you will fit another schedule for another employer, around the existing time schedule for your existing job,  and then how you will possible fit your life into what's remaining.   Or ....   Start up your own business - How much money will you require to set up, how long before you are in profit - there is no average sum to guage how much it willl cost you, but the costs, can be significant before you are in profit.   Or .....   Network marketing - low start up costs, more millionaires have been made through network marketing than in any other way.  Work from home, in your own time - which company do you choose - you can find out which companies have consistently won the most awards, and have been in business more than 15 years, have good training, and good validated products.		The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago.  The next best time is now.  ~Chinese Proverb

Establishing your 2012 Plan

Having reviewed your progress for 2011  to now.

Now get ahead for 2012.

 

Write down your goals for next year now! 

 

(Nothing is cast in stone - it is always important to be flexible - flexibility lets you deal with anything that comes your way, lets you learn from adversity, and to adapt and find a better path)

 

Your brain needs to know where it is heading so write down your goals - write down how you will know you have achieved them.  What will you be doing,what difference will achieving your goals make to you, how will other people know from how you will be that you have achieved them - get a powerful sense of how you will be when you have achieved each of your goals.

 

Draft a plan of how you will get to your plan (it is a good idea to work back from the achieved goal)  As you work your way back from your each of your achieved goals, take note of how you did it, the people you called on to help you, the other resources you used, the obstacles you came across and how you overcame them.  write dates by each stage of your plan for each of your goals.

 

Now write a list of the first actions you need to take, now, in the first week of January 2012.

 

Get ahead!  Now!

 

Have fun with this.  If you want assistance or more information write in to  - info@makethatdiffference.org

From frozen pain to emotional gain – the importance of learning to live, before we die.

Sometimes a lesson needs to be right in our face, to see how vital it is. Death is one of those lessons. We can put off so much until tomorrow – but we really shouldn’t, certainly not the really important things like living in the moment with love in our hearts, rather than in deep hurt from the past. We can only start with ourselves, for as the old adage states - you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. You can try, but if it won’t drink, it won’t.

Recently I was privileged to be given a huge lesson on the need for each of us to live at peace with ourselves. I was sitting at the bedside of someone I love, helping to soothe and relax her, to allow death to come peacefully. It was so sad and deeply ironic that throughout this person’s life, she had focused on impending death and her wish to die, more than she had focussed on life and the moment, and the glorious delights that billions of moments in life can bring. This person’s powerful focus on what had happened to her, kept her from experiencing the moment. It had resulted in shutting loving people out of her life, and missing out on so much love. She couldn’t see what was hers for the taking, even from those she had repeatedly driven away. In the last days and hours she was suddenly resisting what she had yearned for, over so many years. In those last hours, although it was impossible to know who she was talking to, seeing, agitating about, it was clear that impending death was far from peaceful. It was not the welcoming, peaceful, loving end that you would want for someone you love.

As a nurse, I have worked and been with many people as they died, children and babies as they died, but I have never seen such unease. My life and work has always been driven by a passion to make the world, and people’s worlds, a better place.

This very recent experience has given me fresh impetus to help individuals to experience the love that is present in their lives, and to welcome it from its myriad sources.

It is more than possible to help people adjust to events. NLP has many techniques to enable individuals to deal with events in the past from which limiting beliefs and negative self-images have developed, resulting in life-long difficulties. These techniques act with great effectiveness, and more speedily than many other therapies. People can be helped to take positive learning about themselves from any event, and then gain a different perspective on even the most awful events, domestic violence, and/or abuse.  They can then be “unfrozen” from these events, draw upon the strength which any survivor possesses, and see themselves positively.  Then they can make a difference for the good in every aspect of their own lives, and from that point on, inevitably, they make a difference for the good in others – helping them to be more effective and at peace.

It is so important that we each can live well, with love in our hearts, and knowing that unlimited love is there for everyone of us. My recommendation to all is - do not live in the past nor bear grudges. They may indeed be justifiable, but grudges keep you frozen in that moment. Let love and light and compassion into your lives. One of the many presuppositions of NLP is ‘what would have to be true about someone’s world, for them to do what they have done?’ Even if the only thing one can come to grips with is - that someone was a diabolical individual, there are still many ways to find release by coming to understand and de-personalise oneself from someone else’s acts, by seeing that other people operate from their own learning and rationalisation rather than in reaction to oneself. Then events can be learned from, and the fact that you have survived is a testimony to your strength. Do not let events that have happened to you limit your life, your capabilities, your relationships and your possible successes. If need be, seek support to unravel events, so that you can step free and ever onwards with joy in your step, in the knowledge that at all times you are able to do your best, according to the circumstances of that moment. Being emotionally free to always do your best will enable you to make more progress and achieve more than you might ever have imagined.

Do you have a repetitive thought pattern that ruins your self-confidence?

I wonder how many times people repeat a thought pattern they picked up, quite likely, in childhood?  A message that they repeat  unconsciously at critical times in their lives and it pricks the bubble  of confidence and possibility, switching off the light within?

It is so common for individuals to unquestioningly repeat some message – complete or otherwise that tells them that they are useless, or that they will not amount to much because they didn’t try hard enough at school etc.  It might be a parent’s voice or a teacher’s?  But it runs and runs.  How many years ago did you hear this?  Many, and perhaps only once, but heard at some particularly vulnerable moment – which then set the justification to look for validation of that comment, and so the pattern became really hardwired.   These messages, these limiting beliefs that are run in your head, can limit so much pleasure and possibility, and diminish your perception of the real successes that you have achieved.

By understanding how these messages happen, you can change them and get rid of them.  You can become the master of your messages rather than the servant.  Imagine how much time and life is wasted running these pointless, valueless limiting beliefs, and how much more effective your life would be if you only ran those that were useful and empowering.  Imagine only running beliefs based on your actual experience of your successes – for you most certainly will have many examples to draw from. 

Neuro linguistic programming is immensely effective at reprogramming the messages you run, and can do this swiftly and lastingly. 

Sometimes individuals suddenly become aware of the need to do something different with their thinking, or perhaps a sense of malaise that has just drifted along for some considerable time becomes really apparent.  For instance - you might doubt that you can challenge your boss regarding a very justifiable issue, or perhaps you find that your relationships with your partner and children are falling apart, or it feels as though no one really values you.  NLP and coaching using NLP strategies will make a difference in your thinking and functioning that will amaze you. 

Get motivated!  Boost your self-confidence!  Become more effective!  Become more decisive!  Have better relationships with your partner, your children, your boss, your colleagues, your employees, your family, your friends!  Have better health! Have more energy!  See the world in brighter colours! Feel happy!  Let the sounds that bring you joy, be heard!  Manage your life, work and finances more skilfully and effectively than you thought you ever could!

Get control!  Run only the empowering beliefs!  Learn strategies that are really useful!

I f you want to make a real difference in your life, a difference that will delight and really enthuse you , and want to make that difference more quickly and lastingly than you thought possible,  contact Clara Gibson at ‘Make that Difference’. info@makethatdifference.org  02084604294 07957739355

Investing.

What do you do when you are feeling you need some reassurance?


Do you stretch out for the biscuits, chocolate, some tasty cheese, a glass of wine?

Or do you go shopping for the latest line of fashion, the latest electronic gadgets or even that latest range car - to give yourself that lift, that sense of being fresh, smart, at the top of the game?

How often do you rely on these techniques to get that lift? How long does it last? How often do you then lament and kick yourself for spending yet again for such momentary satisfaction?

Do you ever wonder how much money you have spent in this fashion in the past six months, past year to give yourself the temporary lift? Is it £100's or £1000's? Just imagine what it amounts to in a working life time?

So, when did you last spend money and really invest in yourself to develop lasting healthy habits of thinking and self-belief to not need such temporary crutches? Just imagine learning great skills where you are able to manage life's knocks; to see knocks as opportunities to try something differently, to really improve at whatever your game is, your line of business, your personal relationships. Imagine having energy and the resources within you to enjoy life’s challenges, to get to the point where less and less knocks you, and you get more and more out of your life, in every way.

How long would it take to get to such a splendid state, to make that difference? Not long, It does vary from individual to individual. 6 - 12 weeks – on average and choice.

So, how do you get there? Invest in good coaching. It's certainly better value than the temporary, ever-needing to be topped-up alternatives. You will find yourself benefitting in your self-value, your relationships with everyone, your effectiveness, your health, eating, exercise, sleep, your money management, and how much you can earn.

Value yourself, truly. Work from the inside to the outside. By working on the inside of you, you will find that the outside just falls into place - just as you wish. You are what you think - so learn to think better and better. It really is brilliant fun and a real investment.
