I had a fantastic time at the Forever Living Products Success Express at Telford International Centre on Saturday! I have only been with the company for just a few weeks, but I have yet to see anyone looking miserable or unhealthy.
What a fantastic way to live: healthy, aspiring to wealthy, and full of beans, all mixed up with a huge amount of praise and encouragement. There's a brilliant website with lots of information, testimonials and product information, not to mention the help and support from my sponsors and everyone else in the team. There's a real family feel to the way things are run.
Think about it - When were you last praised at work...told what a difference you were making to the company, to the clients, to your own well being?
Until just a few weeks ago I knew very little about Aloe Vera. I had used lots of beauty products which had Aloe Vera somewhere towards the bottom of the Ingredients List, and I knew that it was good for burns and scalds because that's what the First Aider used when I scalded myself quite badly in a cafe in a zoo many years ago. I never imagined that it was such a versatile plant!
My own health has improved tremendously, to the point where I have been able to reduce the amount of medication I take, and I have been told by those who know me well, that I do look healthier and happier.
I feel as though I am on a fantastic journey learning new things every day, making new friends and enjoying opportunities that noone has ever offered to me in my many years of employment.
On Saturday I watched so many people going up on the stage to receive their awards; I listened to their testimonials and I listened to the advice given by some of the most successful people in the company.
I really do believe that I can be one of those successful people, and am determined to be up there on the stage receiving my Supervisor award very, very soon...

Smoking Cessation for Couples?
What does the word "COUPLE" suggest to you?
For many people the immediate thought will be of a relationship of an intimate nature between 2 people who love and respect each other; who have common interests or beliefs. It implies a long term commitment and support.
It's this second statement which I want to focus on - "long term commitment and support".
For many smokers it wasn't difficult to start smoking because they were doing it to fit in, to feel part of the crowd, and they were supported in becoming smokers by their smoker friends.
The difficult part comes when the smoker decides that they want to return to being a non-smoker. It can be a long and lonely journey.
That's why I am running this special offer in June 2012, Smoking Cessation for Couples - except that the second person in the couple can be anyone who shares your desire to stop smoking.
Your "other half" might be a member of your family, a partner, a work colleague, a friend or neighbour... it is only important that they, like you, have a commitment to stop smoking.
Think about it - It is so much easier to stick to a diet if you are dieting with a friend or attending a support group. It 's the obvious thing to do.
If you were training for a marathon you would be encouraged to join a group.
So, if you are ready to become a non-smoker again, why not ask around your family and friends to see if anyone else is ready to quit, and then plan to quit together. You can support each other, challenge each other and become non-smokers again.
Visit my website for further details. Don't delay - the offer is time-limited for June 2012 only.

150 days
I almost missed the 150 day milestone ( It was actually last Tuesday) - 150 days without chocolate or toffee or Haribos!
Why did I nearly miss it? Well, I think that the main reason is that I just don't really think about chocolate anymore. It's a habit I have broken - and to be fair it wasn't hard to do. The hard part was in not drifting back into it in a thoughtless, careless moment.
Of course I have tried other things in the past to ditch the chocolate:
And any or all of those might work for others, but in the end the thing that worked for me was exactly the same thing that I would use with a client: Hypnotherapy and EFT.
I'm now looking forward to making it a full year without chocolate, toffee and Haribos.
Roll on December 31st!

Of course I have tried other things in the past to ditch the chocolate:
- Stopping on a memorable date such as a birthday
- Stopping a month before a memorable date
- Cutting up the chocolate into ridiculously tiny pieces
- Eating a 1lb of Thornton's misshapes in one go thinking that I would sicken myself ( I did feel sick but it didn't stop me!)
- Sharing
- Leaving all of my money at home so that I wouldn't be tempted to visit the shop on the way home ( great until I needed petrol)
And any or all of those might work for others, but in the end the thing that worked for me was exactly the same thing that I would use with a client: Hypnotherapy and EFT.

It's how you say it!
Never underestimate the power of words!
Each and every time you receive a flier or promo material, a charity letter or notification of an event or offer, you can be sure that the words and phrase used have been chosen for a reason.
One of the first things you might notice is the constant use of "you" in the text. The writer does this to develop a personal relationship with you and goes on to use repetition of ideas, short sentences and positive language to engage you, the reader, so that you continue to move on through the text.
At the end of the text a simple instruction or piece of key information will be given - a call to action to the reader.
This will be repeated, either word for word or variations on the key idea ( 3 times is highly effective) and the text centred, emboldened or set against a significant amount of white space for effect.
This is highly effective as the reader finds that they are taken along with no natural ending and the promise of key information, which of course is not accessible unless you read to the end.
Do have a look at the next piece of unsolicited mail and notice the techniques used.
So now that you know about these powerful techniques, how do they relate to you and your everyday life? How can you use these to your best advantage?
The main thing is to be positive and speak and write as though what you say is actually happening. Speak in the present eg I exercise everyday, and avoid the use of "I try" I try to exercise every day.
Speak about events etc in the now and definitely DO NOT use the word try...

The Shower of Confidence
Bath or shower? Which do you prefer? Does it depend on what you want to do with the rest of the day, or how you feel...?
Baths have become something of a luxury; something of a treat or a special occasion; something to do at the end of a difficult day to soak away all your aches and pains. By the time you have luxuriated in a bath you may be so relaxed that all you want to do is go to sleep.
Some people do their thinking in the bath; they put their world to rights before the end of the day, go to bed unburdened and awake refreshed.
Nowadays, however, the majority of people have showers rather than baths - for all sorts of reasons: cheaper, quicker, more refreshing etc
You might not spend long in the shower but use the time to your advantage:
The shower can be the perfect place for a few well chosen affirmations, especially at the start of the day; words that will get you off to a good start and enable you to achieve your potential.
Use the following, or create your own:
Say the affirmations in your head, say them out loud, or put them to the tune of your favourite song. It doesn't really matter - just be confident.
Alternatively, as the water flows over your body, imagine that the water is washing away all your troubles, fears and negative feelings. Imagine that the water droplets are tiny words representing your negative feelings and watch as they disappear down the drain. Then imagine that the water droplets coming from the shower head are all positive words and notice how they make you feel as they wash over your body.
The more often you do this, the easier it will become and you will soon be able to benefit from your Shower of Confidence.

100 Days without Chocolate, Toffee or Haribos!
It's official: on Easter Monday I reached 100 days without chocolate, toffee or Haribos!
In fact it has been remarkably easy so far to resist all temptation. I have absolutely no interest in, or desire for, chocolate. The self hypnosis and EFT which I used at the end of December are still going strong. I haven't done anything extra - although it would take only minutes to do. My subconscious has accepted that I no longer need chocolate to survive and I can't say that I miss it at all.
With this, however, has come an unexpected problem: I can't function in the sweet shop or sweet aisle in the supermarket. Not ideal when there were Easter eggs to be bought.
On the rare occasion I have been asked to pick up sweets or chocolate for other members of my family it has been almost impossible to buy the correct items.
I'll try to explain...
Imagine being in a foreign country, one where the alphabet is different so that you can't pick up any clues about the items you want to buy. Now imagine going into a shop there to buy a simple item and finding that everything in the shop looks similar and you can't work out what is what from the packaging.
That's how it is in the sweetshop. I can see the different bars of chocolate, but actually finding the chocolate I have been asked to buy is almost impossible. Luckily I didn't have too many eggs to buy or I would probably still be in the shop...
Hypnotherapy is a fantastic tool for overcoming unwanted habits - I used it for my obsession with chocolate, toffee and Haribos - but it is equally effective for smoking cessation, nailbiting, drinking, or teeth grinding, to name but a few.
Whatever your habit, hypnotherapy can help, and for many unwanted habits the problem can be cleared in just one or two sessions.
Remember that a habit is just a learned response; the brain can be retrained to reject that learned response.
Don't delay! Take action today and put a stop to those unwanted habits.
