Normal Price £1550

For 24 Hours Only 
£100 Discount

You Pay £1450!

It's First Friday Frenzy!! As part of my gift to you, you can receive a discount of £100 off my NLP Practitioner Certificate Course, starting 15 April 2011. This offer is for 24 hours only, commencing at 3:50pm (GMT)  Friday 4th February 2011.

OK, I'm gong to be frank with you. Often when people offer these kind of discounts they'll try and blind you with a million persuasive words as to why you need to buy whatever it is they're selling. I'm not going to do that! 

I'm looking for the right kind of people for the certificate course, and yes, I want you to join because it is a great course and you will discover much about how your and others "thoughts" affects your outcomes (mind=thoughts=behaviours=outcomes) and how you can get your mind performing even better for you, on autopilot, whether in sport, health, family, business or personal improvement. That's it!

You'll need this code to receive your discount: firstfridayfrenzy_4april

Just copy & paste the code, it's simple.

Remember, this is valid for 24 hours only,

commencing at 3:50pm (GMT) Friday 4th February 2011

After that, it goes back to the Original Price

But hold on, that's just part of the gift we're giving you today. After all, this is First Friday Frenzy. It wouldn't be much of a 'frenzy' if I offered just the discount, now would it?

So in addition, and upon request, a small quota of people will receive 3 FREE mind performance consultancy sessions.

I know what you're thinking, "Supposing I live in Alaska and you can't get to me, what then?" That's not a problem. I offer the simple service of telecoaching, which costs you & I £0, absolutely nothing at all!

If you would like to take advantage of the free sessions just send an email to themindcoach@youtoo-mindbodyfitness.co.uk, entitled "First Friday Frenzy Free Sessions". Now there's a mouthful!

This offer must expire at the same time as the discount offer above and is only open to a small quota of people.

Of course, if you just want to join the course, without requesting the free consultancy, that's fine, please go ahead and book your place today. Or, if you just fancy receiving the free sessions, without booking the course, all well and good - just send me an email, as mentioned above.

Failure - What's Your Strategy?

You're feeling great. You notice that there's a bounce in your step, as you walk down the road. You're feeling much happier than normal. Then...you find yourself slowing down as you pass your most favourite location...the bakery shop. You can smell the wonderful aromas, wafting from inside, as you stare longingly at your favourite pastry. Without realising, you end up walking into the shop and before you know it, you've bought yourself not just one item but many. You don't know why this happens. It's not like you mean to do it!

You wake up and it's another day, just like any other, except your alarm clock has mistakenly gone off an hour earlier than normal. Laying there, you try to clear the cobwebs from your mind and try to figure out whether it's a weekday or the weekend. Alas, it's a weekday! And it's then you remember that you promised yourself you'd go for an early morning run to start your day. Amongst other things, you picture yourself half asleep running around your neighbourhood, as everyone else is tucked up in bed and it doesn't fill you with excitement. In fact, half an hour later you're still in bed in the land of nod again, after resetting the alarm to a more 'reasonable' time. You wake up feeling bad that you didn't stick to your plan and wonder why this always happens?

You have a presentation and just the thought of it fills you with dread. On a scale of 1-10, ten being 'Ok, I'm about to faint', you're at a 11! Your stomach begins to make noises, and tightens up. You begin to sweat as disquieting thoughts fill your mind. 'I can't do it!' you say to yourself. This upsets you because you really thought you could hold it together this time!

Have you ever been in a similar situation as the above? Not great is it? Why is it that when you want to do whats right, you seem to fall back into an old habit or way of thinking? How can you ensure that you'll not crack next time? The answer: Change your strategy!

Now, I'm not talking about walking down a completely different street, so as to avoid the bakery shop or changing your morning run to a lunchtime or evening one. I'm not even saying that you should seek help with your presentation. But hey, if you those kind of strategies help, then go ahead and do it.

No. The kind of strategies I'm talking about are the unconscious kind. The strategies that you've created that will lock you into the type of thinking and behaviours as loosely illustrated above. That they are unconscious means that we abide by them, often without a second thought, which can be dangerous. I've successfully helped clients change their strategies and they've found it of great benefit removing poor habits that they previously had, which they've desperately had tried to shift, but never could.

As you may have already discovered by other posts in my blog, we all absorb and filter information and experience through our senses, i.e. visual , audio, kinaesthetic, olfactory (smell) and gustatory (taste). How we perform and think about things are stored as strategies, using one or more of our senses.

For instance, using the example of the bakery shop above, you stand looking into the shop window (visual). You catch a waft of the aroma coming from inside the shop (olfactory). In your mind you may even feel like the pastry is literally 'calling' out to you (audio). Your tongue may actually begin to water (gustatory), as you continue staring (visual) at the food. Then finally you might say to yourself (this is self-talk) 'I need that pastry', so you walk in. When inside, the aromas (olfactory) of the cooked pastries may intensify, etc.

The same applies to the other two illustrations given. We run these strategies unconsciously and it's why we wonder 'why do I keep doing that?'. So, what's the solution? Change your strategies! How do you do that?

Just because your strategies are unconscious, it doesn't mean that they cannot ever be changed to serve you better. However, the process of doing so takes some skill. The secret is to find a strategy that you currently run, that works great for you, and replace the 'bakery shop' strategy (or whichever unhelpful one) with the more resourceful one.

It might sound complicated...and it is! I'm not going to lie to you. It involves eliciting each step of your behaviour, and using the mind to switch the strategies. But once accomplished it will bring you much joy, and peace of mind, as you create better unconscious 'autopilot' strategies.

We have strategies for many parts of our lives such as: love strategies, motivation strategies, buying strategies, strategies in sport and business, etc. 

So gone will be the strong desire to stop at the bakery store and the desire to buy some pastry. Gone will be the procrastination you used to have at the dawn of the day. Gone will be the intense feelings and thoughts you used to have when you had to deliver a presentation. Hmmm...What would that be like?

Horizon: The Secret World of Pain - 31 January 2011

Horizon aired this programme about how pain relates to the brain and the mind and explores cutting edge technology that enables scientists to help people who experience either no pain or whose bodies are flooded with pain. Makes for intriguing viewing. The programme is an hour long but I've just given you the last 20 minutes, as it relates more closely to pain perception.

The excerpt begins with a young man who had a motorcycle accident and suffered severe burns. In the show he is undergoing physiotherapy, which causes him much pain. However, by distracting his mind from the procedure, he experiences less pain!

In my world of mind performance coaching, we follow a procedure called 'pattern interupt', which breaks unhelpful thought patterns & behaviours, whilst the client relates a specific experience. This can be used to remove an emotional charge of negative intrusive thoughts and behaviours. The procedure that you will see in the Horizon programme reminded me of this. What's your thoughts?

Feel free to leave a comment

Enjoy!
