- Diet Doldrums
By: Joe Kozma | - Often I have seen clients of mine get off to a quick start in their weight loss programs, only to quickly slip back into old, bad, habits. How do I keep the client in the mindset which initially brought them progress? The answer to this question is that I must direct the client to unswervingly focus on the end goal we established at the beginning of the program. For example, a client who weighs two hundred and fifty pounds began his program desiring to get down to two hundred pounds. The client, ...

- Technically Perfect Golf Does Not Always Win Over Good Mental Golf
By: The Golf Hypnotist | - Have you noticed that the winners on the professional golf tours around the world aren't always technically or statistically the best players. They often don't even look like the best player over the four rounds the week they win. Now, I know that's a contradiction, because if they win the event, then they must be the best in that event.
Going back a few weeks to the 2009 Masters, no one would suggest that Kenny Perry, Angel Cabrera and Chad Campbell were the best players in the fi ...

- We Are What We Repeatedly Do
By: Roseanna Leaton | - We tend to more often hear a variation of this phrase; "You are what you eat". Yet this latter is but one aspect of the reality which we create for ourselves through acts which we continually and most often automatically repeat. And these acts are continually repeated only because of thought processes which remain unchanged. The key to positive change lies in seeking to examine ones thoughts and to find ways in which they can be altered for the better.

By: Gen Wright | - The old saying is when it comes to getting older; you're as young as you feel.

We are told to "take it easy", "slow down" and "to age gracefully". This sounds a lot like "idly" doesn't it? We start to practice getting old - start taking smaller steps, moving more slowly ...

Are we going to be lucky and not get some dreaded disease and remain fit and well right up to the time we go to meet our maker?

- How Mentally Tough Are You?
By: Hirini Reedy | - Success in many areas of life is about 80% mindset, 20% mechanics. Your mindset determines how much you ultimately achieve in life. The mind has so much power yet we do not get taught how to use it properly as part of our school learning. It creates our reality of the world. Yet it is only a map. It is not the territory. That is why two people can have the same chances, the same talents yet one keeps succeeding whereas the other keeps giving up. It comes back to which mind map is being used.
