Wonder no more! Here are 3 tips for success in enhancing your life quality:

1. Live consciously each day. Stay connected with yourself daily. Be mindful. Remain aware. Enhance YOUR Life Quality.

Ponder how you relate to your family members. Think about how you fulfill your role at work. Consider what you eat and drink, what you say and do each day. Live life with a purpose! Strive to identify what that purpose — the life purpose that is unique to you — might be.

2. Put all your effort into what you do during the day. If you’re going to engage in a task, focus on it, think about it and complete it. Make an effort. Put your heart and soul into it. Also, strive for improvement in whatever you do.

3. Know what makes your heart sing. Be connected with your own feelings, wants and needs. What makes you feel truly happy? No matter what it is — listening to music, spending time with your kids or talking on the phone with a friend — make room for those things that fill your heart with joy.

Hypnosis is a state of mind.  In the state of Hypnosis, your body is relaxed and your mind is alert and aware.  In this mode, your subconscious mind — the deep part of your mind — is more accessible.  Your subconscious mind accepts the affirmative statements that it is given …  it, then, carries these out when you are back in your fully-awake state.

So, what can Hypnosis be used for?  You can undergo hypnosis for weight loss, hypnosis to stop smoking, confidence hypnosis, public speaking hypnosis, anxiety hypnosis … and much, much more.  Hypnosis is GREAT for facilitating  habit change.  Would you like your life to be better?  Hypnosis is the tool to help you create this outcome!

1. MOTIVATION: To augment your success, it is essential that you really WANT to change!  The importance of this cannot be overstressed:  You are choosing to make a change in your life — this will require work and energy on your part — it is important that you end up with something that truly holds value to you.
2. OLD HABIT: Be willing to let go of what you have considered benefits of the old habit.  Write down all of the benefits you have imagined the old habit bring to you.  NOW … for each of these imagined benefits, write down at least one other — healthy, constructive, positive — manner to create each benefit.  Be creative on this:  whatever you have been telling yourself you’ve needed that old habit  for is a need that is legitimate for you. Find a beneficial way to create this benefit.  Also write this down.
3. BENEFITS OF NEW HABIT: Now, write down all the BENEFITS you can think of that you will derive from the New Habit.  Be specific … be detailed in this.  The purpose of writing down ideas is that it strengths and cements the concepts more firmly in your mind.  Read and re-read these whenever you feel your motivation (#1) starting to lag … for a speedy pick-me-up!
4. USE YOUR IMAGINATION: Imagine yourself 3 months (90 days) in the future … imagine that, at this time, you have successfully made a HABIT of your New Behavior (the behavior you have targeted to change).  Notice any/all blocks that you have had to overcome to reach this level of success.
5. RELEASE and LET GO: Let go of each of the blocks you identified in #4 (above).  To do this, bring to mind each obstacle, individually, and imagine each one — like a vapor or a mist — being blown away by the wind.  Watch, in your mind, as it disappears totally … before doing the same with the next block.
6. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE: Diligence and consistency are the keynotes for this step.  For the next 90 days, repeatedly practice the New Behavior.  Performing the New Behavior will probably seem strange to you at first; this is normal … after all, you are doing something new and doing something new usually feels very strange, at first.  Then it will begin to become easier.  Finally, it will seem totally natural to you.
7. IF YOU “SLIP“: You might find that you get distracted throughout the day and don’t remember to behave according to the New Habit (in other words, without thinking, you “forget” and fall back on the old habit).  If this happens, the very moment you realize it — and stay alert to the possibility of such forgetting — stop the old behavior, even mid-act, and immediately begin the New Behavior.  It is not a problem that you forget; the important thing is that you notice these “slips” sooner and sooner … and change to the New Behavior immediately thereafter.
8. POSITIVE THINKING: Be diligent about keeping your mind on a successful outcome.  Compliment your endeavor frequently; remind yourself, “I’m proud of you, (your name), you’re doing a GOOD JOB!  Also, frequently — many times each day during your 90 day habit-change period — repeat to yourself, with conviction and certainty:
   .
   I  CAN  DO  IT!!

   … and YOU CAN …  and YOU ARE!



But let’s say that you have tried before with this goal and either not succeeded, or succeeded beautifully, but then gained weight back again. For many with weight-loss goals, it has seemed to be a venture of frustration and disappointment. Has this been your experience?

If so, it is time for a new outlook — a new approach. Here are 6 practical, effective steps for weight loss success:

1 – Be Positive:
Pay attention to your thoughts. Notice the types of messages that you are giving to yourself about you being a success — both as a person and in regard to weight loss. Notice specifically if you are being negative about this: Think — self-fulfilling prophecy. Respond to any negativity by re-wording the thought into a positive, success-generating affirmation: “I am a powerful, productive person!” “I enjoy success attaining my goals!” “I persevere with my resolution and lose the weight that I desire!”

2 – Be Realistic:
If your goal is to lose 50#, start with the awareness that you do not lose 50# all at once. In essence, you lose 1#, 50 times. So, start with that first pound. Give yourself realistic sub-goals. For example, you might choose the goal of 1# per week. Look where you will be by the end of this year!

3 – Know Yourself:
Are you someone who does better exercising with others? Then, by all means, do NOT assign yourself exercise by yourself on treadmill at home. Yes, it might be cheaper (if you already have the treadmill — you know, the one with all the clothes hanging from it in the family room?). Go to the gym — be around others — have a social outlet and exercise. Better yet, get an exercise buddy and meet each other at a specified time!

4 – Incorporate What You Know about Yourself:
If you feel pressured by others bringing up your efforts at weight loss, don’t announce your intentions to lose weight to the office. Keep it to yourself … and let them notice — and comment — on the results.

5 – Reward Your Success:
Be generous and kind to you. Choose non-food rewards and recognize you for your courage and your perseverance. Others may have NO idea what you have been going through … but YOU know! You are the person in the position to look out for you … to be kind to you … to recognize you as a success!

6 – Persevere:
Losing weight is a huge, important step toward better health. Being successful losing weight takes courage, motivation, diligence and persistence. Make your affirming cry: I Can Do It!

I urge you to use these six weight-loss ideas over and over to create success with your resolve to lose weight.  And I encourage you to learn more about creating effective weight loss success with our Weight Loss Hypnosis-Workbook Program.  To learn more, click here! ]]> http://thelifecoachdr.com/coach/weight-loss/feed/ 0 http://thelifecoachdr.com/coach/complex-decision-making-steps/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=complex-decision-making-steps http://thelifecoachdr.com/coach/complex-decision-making-steps/#comments Tue, 19 May 2009 06:50:43 +0000 The Life Coach Dr. http://thelifecoachdr.com/coach/?p=381

Decision making is the study of identifying and choosing alternatives based on your values/preferences as the decision maker. Making a decision implies that there are alternative choices to be considered – including that which best fits your goals, desires, lifestyle and values.

Doing SOMETHING – and, then, moving yourself to perform that action – can propel you in the direction of a desired goal. When you are faced with a complex decision, it is important to be aware of using an approach which fits the complexity of the decision.

Examples of complex decisions include: How would I best organize my investments to finance a land purchase? Should you take a vacation – for how long and to where? To solve these complex decisions, use these 7 Steps to SUCCESS with Complex Decision:

Step #1: List each optional decision; include the Pros and Cons for each.

Step #2: Carefully examine the list: Analyze it – what does it suggest? – Is the decision obvious? If so, select the obvious.

Step #3: Which list – the Pros or the Cons – is stronger. Why?

Step #4: Proceed to act on the stronger list.

Step #5: How do you feel? Are you content with this selection?

Step #6: If so, proceed with the stronger. If not, reconsider which list is stronger.

Step #7: Proceed to act on the stronger list.

Decisions are not made in isolation from each other – you gather information, explore alternatives and make a resultant choice … in a context of other decisions. Every decision you make affects the decision stream – i.e., decisions are made in a context of other decisions.

There is a stream of decisions surrounding a given decision. Many decisions that were made earlier have led up to the current decision; they have made it possible – they have added limitations to it. In addition, many other decisions will follow from this decision creating far-reaching consequences.

I invite you to use these steps over and over to assist you when in the process of making complex decisions.
