			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img style='float: left; margin-right: 10px; border: none;' src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=e77b180292b37278683898d7fdf66a2b&amp;default=http://use.perl.org/images/pix.gif' alt='No Gravatar' width=40 height=40/><p>A Better You !!!</p>
<p>Did you make any Resolutions this Year ?  Did you know that most people who make New Year&#8217;s Resolutions, do not follow through with them and I just read in a recent article that &#8220;on average, 85 % of people that make them, do not keep them.&#8221;</p>
<p>First of all, I think it is really great if you did make some Resolutions &#8211; since, that means, you do know that you would like some type of changes to occur in your life and hopefully, they are Positive ones.  It is a start, even if you are not following through with them as planned or having a hard time making them happen, at all.</p>
<p>Now, if your Resolutions are happening smoothly then, Here&#8217;s more Motivation to You &#8211; along with a reminder to always have some good &#8220;Mind tools&#8221; for those days when old ways of thinking could come back to trigger old behavior.   &#8220;Mind tools&#8221; (a term that I think, I just made up while writing this) are motivative thinking anchors that reinforce new changes and they are personalized to fit the issues of each Client that I work with.  Also, the anchors  given help in grounding new positive thoughts (like a boat anchor) to new positive actions, reactions and behaviors.</p>
<p>Change is always happening in our Lives and since, most all changes, that we would like to change, happen in our subconscious, that is why Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy works so well and quickly.  Not only, does it get to that subconscious level where old ways of thinking, feeling and reacting changes for the better &#8211; it also, reinforces changes through the personalized repetition, suggestions and visualization that is related to those issues being worked on.</p>
<p>Now, the not so easy part is finding those changes and then, making them happen while allowing them to become part of everyday life and this is why I absolutely Love being a Hypnotherapist &#8211; I get to be part of this amazing transformation that is being created as my clients quickly change for the better.</p>
<p>Change is good and through our own experiences most all of us have probably had and seen some pretty impactful changes happen during this past decade.  I know, I have and most everyone I know, has had some real good changes, along with some bad ones and then, there are others that are just confused with the many people having such difficulties while, at the same time, others are thriving by doing the best they ever have.</p>
<p>These extreme contrasts are causing us to become even more aware of what others are going through and the difference in opinions are surely being expressed.  Some of which are:  &#8220;We are just going through another recession that will past soon&#8221; along with, &#8220;This is the worst economy since, the great depression&#8221; then, there are others that are saying &#8220;What recession?&#8221;</p>
<p>Does it seems to be all relative then and what about the Law of Attraction that says, &#8220;What we focus on happens Most&#8221; ?  Well, what ever it is that we are going through, we will get through it, as we always have and there is no doubt that yes, there really is something going on out there and things are forever and always changing.</p>
<p>So, through all of these changes, what I am sensing about this new decade is that the theme is already becoming, not about me, I or you but about We &#8211; We as a whole.  We have to continue to do things together and with Social media and sites like Facebook we have already been doing this for quite some time and we are getting more and more comfortable with sharing, commenting and expressing our feelings.</p>
<p>As more and more like minded people are connecting and we continue to comment, share and express ourselves in a Positive respectful way, not only does our own life continue to change for the better but those that engage with us, change for the better, as well.</p>
<p>Since, jumping right in, to embrace Social Media, as many others did, through Facebook, this whole past year ended up being a Social Media Networking training camp for me and it has been amazing.  How great is it that, we get the opportunity to be part of such a wonderful new way to connect with people all over the world where our lives can literally be changed in an instant.</p>
<p>Just think about the many ways your Life has changed for the better through Social Media and think about those people that helped you to change and also, those you helped to change in the process.</p>
<p>Through this past year, that is what I have focused on most &#8211; the importance of embracing the changes that are happening in your Life, and what I have discovered is that, I can not do it all my own.  So, that is why I am now taking Social Media to the next level by really understanding how important it is to have a special networking group of friends &#8211; like minded people to rely on and get support and motivation from.</p>
<p>First, I found how this worked on a large scale through Facebook and now, I am learning how it can work on a smaller scale with what is being called a &#8220;tribe&#8221;.   An old term that is being used to describe a new type of online syndication tribe and the leader of this new tribe that I am involved in is<strong> Kimberly Castleberry</strong> and she explains it all very well at this link, right <a href="http://syndication.kimberly-castleberry.com/"><strong>here</strong></a> with more information <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Blogging-Syndication-Alliance-Tribe-Syndication/270237318416"><strong>here</strong></a> -<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Blogging-Syndication-Alliance-Tribe-Syndication/270237318416"></a></p>
<p>Also, I am having a great time getting to know some of the others that have joined our tribe and I am excited to share how they are making changes happen through the work they are doing, as well.  These are them, my new tribe buddies doing really great things so, you can just click on their names to see what they are doing for the Better:  <strong><a href="http://theresamoss.com/">Theresa Moss</a></strong> &#8211; doing some real <em>Creative Marketing; </em><strong><a href="http://www.cindy-springsteen.com/about/">Cindy Springsteen</a></strong> &#8211; is a Long Island Parenting Teen&#8217;s Examiner, <em>very interesting; <a href="http://davidmerrill101.com/2010/01/wild-entrepreneurs-don’t-get-the-blues/"> </a></em><strong><a href="http://davidmerrill101.com/2010/01/wild-entrepreneurs-don’t-get-the-blues/">David Merrill,</a></strong> <em>helping  keep the Blues at Bay &amp; some Powerful Online Marketing Tips; </em><strong><a href="http://kelliefrazier.com/hello/">Kellie Frazier</a></strong><em> &#8211; Great Coaching through Connecting;</em><strong> <a href="http://irenesharonhodes.wordpress.com/2010/01/12/the-ideal-human-diet/">Irene Sharon Hodes,</a></strong> <em>the Foodie with a full appetite of Humor; </em><strong><a href="http://www.jacquelinegates.blogspot.com/">Jacqueline Gates</a></strong> &#8211; <em>Living Life Abundantly and helping others to know how, as well;</em> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/eugeneguilbault"><strong>Eugene Guilbault</strong></a> &#8211; <em>blogging about the start of the New Year &amp; what others are doing; </em><em><span style="font-style: normal;"><strong><a href="http://keefer.bigmlmlies.com/?mad=37789">Tracey Keefer</a> -<span style="font-weight: normal;"><em> offering Tips for your</em></span></strong><em> MLM and <strong><a href="http://www.livefullout.info/">Susan Davis</a> &#8211; </strong>Living Life Full Out &amp; sharing it with You -</em></span><br />

<p><strong>For Hypnotherapy and or Hypnosis to be affective, there must be some Imagery and or Visualization taking place in the mind. Visualization is the seeing of an activity in the mind but Imagery is experiencing the activity in the mind with all, most or some of the senses involved &#8211; actually doing it, as if being part of it.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Imagery is a right brain activity which means it is a creative process verses the left brain which is the analytical side. Imagery is a flexible approach that strengthens the Nero Pathways, the brain responders, so by using Guided Imagery one can practice in the mind seeing and doing what one wants to be, change or accomplished.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Here is an example of a Guided Imagery used during Hypnotherapy:</strong></p>
<p><strong>First, sit in a comfortable position and get relaxed by taking three deep breaths and then three more.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Now with your eyes closed, start to visualize or image in your mind being at your favorite place in the world.<br />
This could be any place that is safe, calm, relaxing and beautiful &#8211; you decide where it is &#8211; or create it now.</strong></p>
<p><strong>It could be a place you have been before or a place that you want to visit or where you are right now &#8211; you decide.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Now, be there as you begin to feel the breeze, the air, as you smell the smells and hear the sounds around you.</strong></p>
<p><strong>What colors do you see, who is there with you, what animals or beings do you see or are you alone? &#8211; you decide.</strong></p>
<p><strong>What does the ground feel like, the air the water the trees, are there any trees, mountains, valleys or are you inside?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Now, what do you feel &#8211; the positive feelings inside your body?  Calm, relaxed, happy, free, joyous, peaceful, creative, focused, powerful, out of your body&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Keep feeling the positive while staying in this place &#8211; enjoy this brief time of solitude as your continue to be good to yourself.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Be aware of your breathing as you continue to take deep long breaths into you belly and exhale slowly as the mind drifts.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Enjoy this time as long as you possibly can with each deliberate and slow wonderful and powerful breath to the next one (take time here to just sit and become even more relaxed as you let your mind wonder from one wonderful thought to the next).</strong></p>
<p><strong>Now, start to come back to this place where you are in your body at this time and bring yourself here now back to the present.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Begin to open your eyes and feel your body where you are and count up from 0 to 5 &#8211; 0,1,2,3,4, and 5 eyes open wide awake.</strong></p>
<p><strong>You could have someone else read this to you or you could record it and play it back or even memorize it and say it to yourself but it is always so much better and more effective when you are professionally guided to this wonderful place.</strong></p>
