We all experience the world in different ways. This information influences the thoughts we have and the actions we take in our relationships. Are you interested in understanding more about the influences of your individual patterns? Would you like to experience a change in how you listen to your partner and what you hear and learn to use this information to find new choice in how you interact in your relationship? I offer an outcome based process that is focused on what each person wants and how they would both like to feel in the relationship. It's easier then you think!

Thought for Today

June 1, 2011

Bran muffins are considered to be a healthy food choice because they’re often high in fiber but unfortunately, they tend to be equally high in sugar. One muffin contains an average of 22 grams of sugar (and 440 calories!), whereas a glazed donut contains about 180 calories and just 6 grams of sugar. ********************************************************************* The colors you wear are about so much more than fashion or style. Colors send subconscious messages that affect your mood and energy level. Colors also affect others that interact with you. The colors we choose send a strong message. You want to select the colors that portray confidence. ********************************************************************* Self - talk is a very good example of verbal influencing of the unconscious – a process by which our beliefs about ourselves are formed and most importantly – can be changed ***************************************************************************** Navy Blue: Studies show that navy blue is the best color for a suit to wear at work and for a job interview, because it inspires confidence. You are more likely to get the job when you wear navy blue to an interview than any other colour. ********************************************************************* Be mindful and give yourself the opportunity to appreciate the skills and knowledges you have acquired. How do people acquire skills and new knowledges? How does this influence the stories of our lives? ********************************************************************* Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today? -- Mary Manin Morrissey ********************************************************************* ********************************************************************* Women should be tough, tender, laugh as much as possible, and live long lives. The struggle for equality continues unabated, and the woman warrior who is armed with wit and courage will be among the first to celebrate victory. Maya Angelou******************************************************* ********************************************************************* regular therapeutic discourse relates to the problem knowledge - a de-centered/influential position is used to thicken the sub-ordinate lesser known story line. in this way a person is encouraged to move to a strength place that pushes against the problem story. ********* ******************************************************************** ********************************************************************* it is so important to slow down and pay attention to what you feel and to know that what you feel really matters.********************* ********************************************************************* ********************************************************************* several of the women I work with have discussed feeling confident and supported in their beliefs that the work we are doing together is moving them in the right direction - after reading Geneen Roth's book Women Food and God. I have always worked from a belief that the food is not the issue ....it's only the symptom. ***************** ********************************************************************* ********************************************************************* problems like to hang out together. sometimes fear gets together with anger. a narrative conversation uses externalizing talk to learn more about how and what the gang of problems gets you thinking.....and doing. 'the problem' has a position. how does that influence you? how does that influence the actions you take?*************************************************************************************************************************************************Remember the Communication Rule of Twelve: The first twelve steps you take in to a room, the first twelve words you speak and the first twelve inches of your body. People notice how you enter a room. They should be captivated by the first words you speak, your facial expressions and your posture. Look, act and speak the part of a successful person. You are the message.
