Let's Get Well, Stay Well, and Live Well!
ADVICE – FREE OR OTHERWISE
When I was a teenager,
a petite and sweet,
gray-haired church choir director
semi-smiled wistfully,
brandished her baton in my direction,
and told me to remember this.
At the time, I did not realize that this important advice applied to
Need help overcoming procrastination? NLP and Creative Visualization can help, and I’m giving you a How To script right here, right now!
There are SO MANY uses for this technique, including project management (personal or professional).
Case in point: My client had procrastinated for EIGHT YEARS about an interior design project for a bathroom in her home.
After just one session with me, using Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) in a creative visualization technique, this full-time employee had bought the supplies within one week and both started and finished the project (which included painting the whole room) the next weekend!
Even better, she now knows how to overcome procrastination on issues, large and small.
After we go through the script below, I’ll give you examples of more difficult challenges on which you can use this “procrastination technique.” Examples include anger management and weight loss.
You can do this, too, and I going to teach you how! Continue Reading →
There ARE effective techniques for stemming cravings! Some use the tools of Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), and that’s what I’ll describe in this article by providing a video and a script for you to use.
(You also will see some astonishing statistics about the effectiveness of NLP under “Interesting Factoids.”)
In a separate blog Food Combos ~ Do Your Habits Hurt or Enhance Your Health?, I offer information from experts about the proper selection and combining of the foods you eat in each meal.
These affect your health, your weight, your complexion, and more.
In order to make the most of your desire for good health, you can learn all about it by viewing both articles in quick succession.
Note: NLP can be used for an enormous variety of issues (e.g., overcoming fears, phobias, or PTSD) or desires for excellence in achieving (e.g., business success, happiness, harmonious relationships, or spiritual growth), to name a few.
Using your imagination, you can discover many ways in which it could help you in both professional and personal life. If you want to learn more or to book me for a free initial consultation, email GetWellStayWell@Outlook.com and put NLP Inquiry into the subject line. But, first, let’s read this blog!
If you can find the patience to watch this short video, you might discover something that can help you – either quickly or with just a teensy little bit of practice! Yes, it’s 15 whole minutes long! For some of you, that’s “forever,” but the information can save you a lifetime of ill-health and excess bodyfat! That would seem to be worth it, right?
(If you prefer, just watch the first part. It is a bit of an NLP exercise about substituting a desire to replace cravings for sugar and flour laden desserts with a desire to eat fruit. It runs to about 6 1/2 minutes into this informal presentation. Skip the rest of the nutritional info and, then, you can scroll down for the NLP script plus the other tips.)
Are you one of those people who thinks you cannot be hypnotized? SURPRISE! All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, AND you get into the hypnotic brainwave state at least twice a day in typical activities.
You are in the hypnosis brainwave state when you enter that condition (known to some as “la-la land”) right before you fall asleep – and again when you re-emerge from sleep while awakening – before you get to full alert consciousness.
During meditation, you also are in a hypnotic state of mind. Let’s learn the benefits of combining a hypnosis process with Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP). I have many tools and techniques to use in personal coaching and spiritual counseling sessions, and I count hypnotherapy and NLP as key components among them. Continue Reading →
Everyone experiences loneliness at some point in life.That is natural, but, when is it a problem?
First, let’s define it. A person can be alone without being lonely. There is great freedom in that!
My thought is that loneliness comes in two primary forms. You may be feeling lonely because of the absence of someone else, or you might feel loneliness because of the absence of connection with your true Self!
A quick web search yielded these definitions.
1. affected with, characterized by, or causing a depressing feeling of being alone.
2. destitute of sympathetic or friendly companionship…support
3. lone; solitary; without company; companionless.
Putting Yourself First for A Change
As we know, all cultural training teaches women to take care of their family’s needs as the highest priority and at any cost. As nurturing spirits, we often extend that caring behavior to include everyone but ourselves. The result can be difficulty in “saying no,” setting boundaries and addressing one’s own physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. NOW is the time to change our minds – in a GOOD way.
Each of us is just as valuable and worthy of loving attention as anyone else in the world. Let’s first recognize that and then act like it!
Among the many classes I teach, I facilitate classes and workshops on Putting Yourself First for a Change topics. They are based on my
Here are some examples: in which we discuss: Continue Reading →
Guess what I just learned! NLP!
As usual, I am scattering my seeds in many directions (like a good dandelion). I just got my certificate of completion, from Dr. Yvonne (Oswald) in a class on Neuro-Linguistic Programming, better known as NLP. This is an amazing technique which helps people overcome “stuck” issues (like emotional or psychological issues, fears and limiting beliefs) in a fraction of the time it would take using other techniques and without having to relive every single, tortuous moment of what caused the reaction to the causal event.
You can go to a psychiatrist for twenty years, or you can take an NLP “break-through” session for 5 hours, and I’d bet you a double fudge chocolate ice cream cone that the NLP will work far better and much faster!
In order to get my certification as an NLP professional, I have to complete 30 hours of NLP practice and pass an exam. If you live near me, I’d love for you to help me by scheduling a practice session with me. My (beautiful, British, now Canadian, world-renowned) instructor assured us that people will benefit greatly, even though students are not yet fully comfortable in conducting the sessions. (In the future, I’ll be able to do it by Skype or other media, but I prefer practicing in person.) I advise you to take advantage of this opportunity; because the actual sessions are priced at $150/hour or $500 for a break-through session. For the first volunteers, I’ll give 5 hours free (the $500 value), after which I’ll charge the normal hourly rate. So, ACT NOW, as they say!
John Grinder (linguistics) and Richard Bandler (mathematics and gestalt therapy) created NLP to generate models of excellence; however, these techniques are applicable to every area of life, including, but not limited to business. Lots of information is available on the NLP founders’ website. In brief, they say that
“NLP is founded on two fundamental presuppositions:1. The Map is Not the Territory…we can never know reality. We can only know our perceptions of reality….It is generally not reality that limits us or empowers us, but rather our map of reality. 2. Life and ‘Mind’ are Systemic Processes. It is not possible to completely isolate any part of the system from the rest of the system.”
You can get much more detail on their website.
Yes, I’m about to do it again, which means that my posts will continue to be “irregular,” to put it politely. Soon, I’ll be attending a certification class, so I can provide hypnosis techniques, along with the NLP, to help people overcome traumas and dramas in their lives or simply to become more successful.
If you think you’ve never meditated or been capable of being hypnotized, just think back to a time when you stared at a sunset/sunrise, or at a flickering candle flame, or at a fireplace. You were there, Baby Cakes! You were there in your Alpha brain wave state or deeper. It is so relaxing and rejuvenating! I already know how to do this, but I want to get the certification to prove it. I’ll have to pass an exam and hold practice sessions for that, too; so, stay tuned!
These are just more tools in my toolbox for being able to help people meet their own needs. Let’s explore together. Contact me with questions, or to schedule a session (still free during the practice sessions; but definitely not thereafter!)
