Love meeting people who want to talk 'behavior' like me. Yeah!

Japan in the News.
My heart goes out to Japan. Absolutely devistating.
Here is an interesting and scary look at the earthquake and how it moved.

Zero-Waste Zone
I've entered a new....area.
The idea of the Zero-waste lifestyle appeals to me at a deep level. I love the eco-friendliness of it.
Step 1 - unclutter your house... EVERYTHING (even closets and drawers and kitchen cabitnets!)
The beginning of it starts by cleaning clutter out of your house; renew it, reuse it, or recycle it. Once the house is cleaned out of things you don't use and don't need. It's time to start.
Step 2- consider each thing you buy or bring home.
If it has too much packaging...do you need it? Really? This applies to items purchased such as clothing and food purchased. What are you bringing home? The added benefit of becoming zero-waste conscious is how light you feel when you walk into your home. An uncluttered home....unclutters the mind.
Step 3 - I will fill in step three once I have completed step 1 & 2.
On the agenda today is more cleaning. I have a few more rooms to go and I will be ready to continue moving toward this fun, clean, living.

Calistoga Health & Wellness Festival
It's that time of the year... where people can focus on what hasn't been working in their lives and what has been working.
The idea being, if something isn't working - it's time to do something different.
If something is working - do more of that!
This year for the Health & Wellness festival, after many requests, I decided to focus on weighloss success stories. Who are successful - as well as why and how!
Join me at the Health & Wellness Festival on January 8th & 9th....and don't miss my Lose the Weight (forever? ~eyebrows raised) seminar on the 9th of January @ 3:00p.m. at The Calistoga Spa.
Look forward to seeing you!

Master your fears & phobias
Isn't it nice to know - with hypnosis you can easily overcome fears and phobias. Hypnosis is extremely effective helping people with common and not so common anxieties. From fears of spiders, heights, elevators, closed spaces, to bigger things like panic attacks driving over bridges, driving your car, speaking in front of people - you name it, someone out there is afraid of it. The good news is... the opposite of anxiety is relaxation. Teaching the mind how to relax and learning how to respond to fearful stimulations in a more productive and calm manor... you can naturally see how this will change your life, can you not?

Have a prosperous day!
I love this: Believe that you have received what you have asked for.
This has proven true in my life. Because, if I live...as if I have already received what I have asked for, my motivations and motions throughout the day, change. For example, when I believed that I could 'see' that college degree on my wall... It gave me the motivation to 'act' like a person would if they had the drive to do something like this. I went through the motions of calling the college, making financial arrangements, talking to all the people I needed to talk to in order to make it come about.
I'm sure the meaning to these words "believe that you have already received what you have asked for" could be understood in a variety of ways. For me, I have two ways of looking at it: the earlier one mentioned here and this one - I used it as a spring board to look at people who I respect, people I want to be more like... and ask myself, "If I was them how would I get this project done?" and then do what "I projected" they would do. It works!
And now... I don't think about what they would do, because I've done it. Now my question is: "How can I do it better?"

Repeat.
Things to remember and ponder:
1. Anything that is reinforced is likely to occur again. (do I say that too often? Good! Remember it! More information on this in earlier posts)
2. Neurons that fire together, wire together. Everytime you think a thought and get a particular reaction...you strengthen that neural connection. You think it, you have a reaction. Think/reaction. Think/reaction. So, pretty soon you don't-even-have-to think-it, and you are doing a behavior. But, in actuality, you did think it. It happened so fast because it is 'wired' together. For example if you had anxiety one day while crossing a bridge and then the next time, you thought..."well, last time I crossed that bridge I had anxiety" which, reminded you and you developed feelings of anxiety again. Then the next time, you do it again... think it, create it. Pretty soon, you don't have to think it, just looking at a bridge gives you that anxious feeling. How many times have you said, "I wasn't thinking anything... I just had this feeling of anxiousness and it was for no reason!" Your thoughts are wired together. The beauty of this is... we have BILLIONS of neurons. Add a new reaction, even in imagination, and you can change your behavior.
Think a thought, see a new & wanted reaction, repeat.

Using hypnosis as an adjunct to Cancer treatment
Let me share this. Here is an article on how Hypnosis enhances the quality of life for people with cancer. Helping them to keep focused on the goal, feeling that healing energy, relieving pain & stress. Stress in and of itself acts like a dis-ease. Letting go of burdens, concentrate on healing, focus on getting better, moving the thoughts to a more productive space; taking advantage of the mind & body connection to allow healing to take place. Here it is (enjoy): www.triroc.com/sunnen/topics/cancer.hypnosis.htm

What makes up your environment?
I recently listened to Bruce Lipton's book: The wisdom of your cells. One gem (out of many) is this: He was told (when growing cells in a petri dish), if you come back tomorrow and those cells are not looking like they should, before you look at what might be wrong with the cells, be sure to first look at the environment.
I love this idea.
Considering... we, humans, are one big petri dish of cells.
One must ask, what did you allow in your environment today?
