On a scale of 1 – 10 how committed are you to making changes?  If the answer is 5 or less, make sure your target for the amount of weight you want to lose reflects that. You are not going to lose a dress size a month, but you may lose a dress size every 7-8 weeks. If it’s between 6-8,  you probably can lose a dress size a month. What you achieve is directly related to the amount of effort you put in.  It’s far better to operate at a 6-7 and be able to sustain it – for life! Than to go all out at 9 or 10 and give up because you just can’t keep it up. Remember the story of the tortoise and the hare?  When you embark on a programme you cant sustain, failure is inevitable, then next time you want to lose weight your unconscious mind remembers the failure and will sabotage your efforts to save you the pain.

Most of us need a car, but how many of us buy the car we need as opposed to the car we want? For most of us a safe reliable car is all we need, but many of us want more, we want luxuries like air conditioning, a good CD, electric windows, heated seats, cruise control… these are not things we need, they are things we want. If you were saving for a car, and you stopped going out for meals, went without a holiday, and put away £400 per month for 12 months, you would have £4,800 to buy a car. The desire for that car would have to be stronger than your desire to go out and go on holiday. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being maximum effort, you would be putting in 10. There are not many people that have got that level of resolve (I certainly haven’t). Most people operate between 5-8. Even if your resolve is strong, you still need the techniques and the strategy to succeed, after all if you are 100% intent on seeing a sunset and you spend every evening looking east, you are not going to achieve your goal. Learn how to increase your resolve AND easy to use techniques that can change how you think and feel about food for good, change your mind and you can change your body, come and see how http://www.powertochange.me.uk/seminarinfo.asp?ID=16

Giving up smoking is for many people not easy, but every year hundreds of thousands of people manage it. Make no mistake that’s fantastic. However, many of these same people struggle and fail to lose weight; Why? the difference between weight loss and stopping smoking is just that – there’s no stopping eating. It’s not a case of deleting one programme (i.e. smoking) and that’s it, but you must adapt existing programmes and make changes to something that you have to do every day, in order to survive. This requires some specific fine tuning when it comes to changing behaviours. Over the last 20 years I have written 2 best -selling “diet books”, worked with celebrities and people from all walks of life, been a consultant for one of the country’s leading Diet and Fitness Clubs, and helped literally thousands of people lose weight, often many stones. I ran my own chain of Health Clubs in the Midlands for twelve years, and some of the results I achieved with my clients was sensational, but I noticed one thing, and it bothered me greatly. Many of these people lost loads of weight, but STILL felt bad about themselves. They had to deprive themselves of many pleasures to achieve it, and there were many who just didn’t have the “will power” to achieve their goals, and gave up. Having spent years studying Exercise and Nutrition Science, I turned my attention to psychological therapy, so I could help more people not just lose weight, but do so in a way that did NOT involve feeling depressed or deprived, and created new thoughts and feelings that literally changed their mind as well as their body. The WEIGHT LOSS IN MIND programme was born. http://www.powertochange.me.uk/seminarinfo.asp?ID=16

Your brain works in much the same way as a computer, in that it runs “programmes”. If you never update your computer, delete old programmes, remove viruses and install new “better” programmes, you will never change. Put simply “if you do what you have always done, you will get what you always got”. So what have you got? And do you want to change it – now? you can in a 2 day mind makeover http://www.powertochange.me.uk/seminarinfo.asp?ID=16

Do You Have WEIGHT LOSS IN MIND?     

How many times have you thought about losing weight, only to be filled with dread at the memory of being hungry, eating foods you don’t like, eating different meals to everyone else, slaving away at the gym and generally feeling fed up. You may have lost the weight, but you have probably regained it and more besides.  You know that traditional DIETS DONT WORK! If you want to experience lasting personal change that will enable you not only to lose weight but to change how you feel about yourself, click here http://www.powertochange.me.uk/seminarinfo.asp?ID=16

NEURO LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP) is simply the study of human processes. What it shows us, is how our brains work and we know that many of the changework that happens, actually happens in our unconscious mind before we are aware of it consciously. This means we can use our imagination to “upload” new behaviours. Try this simple exercise: Stand up and place your right arm out in front of you and point forward. Now keeping your feet still, move your arm around to the back and stretch as far round as you can, notice where specifically your finger points too. Slowly bring your arm back to the front. Now this time, do the same thing but IN YOUR IMAGINATION, keep your arm by your side, close your eyes and PRETEND you are lifting it and pointing forward, see what you would see if you were looking at your finger in your minds eye. Now imagine your muscles and joints are totally relaxed and fluid, keep your feet still but imagine your arm moving freely around behind you, see through your minds eye as it smoothly moves past the point where it was before, see it go an inch, then 6 inches further, now even further and imagine you are completely relaxed  and your arm moves almost 360 degrees round and see what that would look like in your minds eye. Now imagine bringing your arm back around to the front and lowering it. This time, with eyes open, raise your arm and repeat the exercise remembering what it feels like now you know have imagined you can stretch further.

You will probably notice that you can now go much further than you could the first time. What has changed? Not your ability, or your physical state; the only thing that has changed is that you had an imagined experience that allowed you to achieve something you didn’t think possible. That’s the power of your imagination, you will only ever achieve what you believe you can achieve.

A lot of that is down to choice, theres no doubt some people deliberately choose to see the negative side of things, but for others there’s a great deal that you automatically respond to in a negative way, as that has become your “learned response”. The good news, no the GREAT news is, that you can reprogramme your brain, delete these  old behaviours and install new ones that eliminate negativity, anxiety and other destructive thoughts and feelings, install some “anti -virus” internal software to protect you in the future, and live a life FREE from stress and anxiety.

Imagine your brain is a little like a computer, when you are born there are no  bad programmes viruses or bugs; everything is in good working order and the programmes run just as they should. You are not born with fear, anxiety, low self esteem or any other negative emotions, these are all “uploaded” onto your hard drive by the way you process life’s experiences.  There’s a great quote that tells us “It’s not what happens to you that determines who you are, but how you react to it”. learn how to change for good http://www.powertochange.me.uk/seminars_and_training.asp
