Being Fat Has Its Benefits: There's A Positive Intention Behind Every Behavior

In Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), there is a presupposition that states:

"There is a positive intention behind every behavior even if it is not easily recognized or understood."

As I sat in my Weight Watchers group this Saturday morning, I listened to my fellow Weight Watcher members, as they shared their stories of how food became so important to them throughout their lives. We laughed and poked fun at our "bad" habits. The meeting was organized around teaching that we

Mental Rehearsal - Visualize Yourself A Winner At Weight Control

You can lose more weight each week and enjoy a greater degree of success by adding the tool of Mental Rehearsal to your toolbox. Since the mind and body are one system, your mind can help you to prepare your body for the actual situation in which you want to behave or act in a certain way.  This is a technique that is practiced by all top performers in every field.  Just like an athlete prepares for an olympic event or a public speaker prepares for a presentation, you can apply these principles to weight control.

The first step is to choose a specific situation where you want to respond in a more resourceful way. It is said that the mind can not tell the difference between a vividly imagined thought and reality. 

Oprah - A Role Model For Juicy Women

Evidently poor Oprah is going through a really rough patch with her weight. Last week, she bravely shared that information with her viewers. She said that she had fallen off her program, was eating to feed her emotions again, didn’t want to exercise, felt unmotivated and needed to get back on track. Wow! That was brave and that makes her a role model in my book. I can really relate to feeling the danger of letting go and losing control. It’s so easy to fall back into patterns of emotional overeating.

Since I’ve been leading the Juicy Woman Craving Zapping calls, and using Emotional Freedom Technique and tapping along with the other women on the call, I have been doing so great. My

How I Used The Power of Anchors To Encourage A Shy, Withdrawn 5 Year Old Girl To Speak

NeuroLinguistic Programming, or NLP, is a much used tool in many coaching practices but the tool can, and should, be applied to situations in our every day lives as NLP has several techniques for diagnosing and intervening in certain situations. In this story, I would like to share how I was able to apply the technique of Anchoring to encourage a young girl to speak.

Transform Your Inner Critic Into A Trusted Friend

In NLP, there is a presupposition that states that all behavior no matter how destructive has an important positive intention motivating it.  On the surface, it seems that we are always judging our own behaviors.  Most of the time our inner critics are saying the same hurtful things to us in an endless looping of the same phrase.  We hear it in a very specific way every time.  What would happen if you were to be able to take from that inner critic the best intention and leave all of the criticism behind? Wouldn't that be a valuable asset to your toolbox? Now you can.

Here's another goodie from my brilliant NLP Coaches, Kevin Creedon and Doug O'Brien.  They teach this method of Reframing the Inner Voice as a Primer to teaching the actual strategy of Reframing

NLP: A Coach's Dream To Create Cognitive Change

As a Certified Master Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming, I think that it is valuable for you to have a better understanding of how you can benefit by being coached by someone using this method. However, first, I’d like to break down the meaning of the words Neuro Linguisitic Programming.

Neuro - We process information through our 5 senses and that determines what we think and how we feel.

Linguistic – This is the language part of our brain and it determines what we say, how we say it and

Food Cravings Disappear In A Few Minutes

This past Friday, I spent the day facilitating a seminar for women. It is called Get The Fat Out Of Your Head: Change Your Thoughts To Shape Your Body. Throughout the seminar, I guided the participants in an exploration of their beliefs around food and their bodies. I encouraged the group to answer questions and provoked some lively discussions. Everyone had a great time. I'm sure that all the participants would agree that the end of the seminar was definitely the most fun and unique one that they have ever experienced. Near the close of the 2 hour seminar, I brought out my goodie bags for the women. I passed around small sealed bags that contained many tempting goodies. Among the items included were Lay's
