<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>Over the years many
people have asked me ‘so what is a life coaching’? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Luckily and to save me always talking about my passion, the
magazines are full of articles that are in fact just that ‘Life coaching’</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a way coaching is different things to different people,
some wish to enhance their workplace skills and performance, others wish to be
able to feel and be more confident maybe address some low self-esteem feelings.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At a performance level coaching will enable you to focus,
set appropriate goals and remain motivated. At an emotional level coaching will
help you to understand yourself, your feelings and enable you to manage your
reactions to stress and negativity .Remain positive and emotionally in control,
building up an emotional resilience and plan a fulfilling happy life.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Who is likely to benefit from Coaching? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well just about everybody who wishes to enhance their life
and make the most of this one time opportunity. Maybe it is like knowing how
the engine of your car works, or the ingredients in a recipe – if something
isn’t quite right you have a good idea of how to make it better.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have worked with people from all walks of life; they have
come to me for a huge variety of different reasons. A young Lady wishing to
prepare herself for University interviews, a chap having just been terribly
hurt after the breakup of his relationship and wanting to not only get it right
next time, but improve himself as a potential Husband, A young Lady Doctor
experiencing massive stress in the workplace, struggling to say no and ending
up doing all of the jobs while others laughed and joked having a great time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Work life balance, low self-esteem, lacking in
self-confidence, stress, struggling to say ‘NO’, feeling angry, fearing imposed
changes. These are all very good reasons to feel unsettled and unhappy and also
very good reasons to spend some time with a life coach.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So how is all of this done?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Generally you would start with a wheel of life, this
basically breaks life in 10 different section and encourages you to score
yourself in each section. A good place to start, because immediately you can
see the lowest scores and any connections plus this potentially would be the
areas to focus on.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Throughout your coaching it would be you who does the
thinking and planning, your Coach is a facilitator, asking questions and posing
scenarios that will make you think, finding the best answer for you from
with-in.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
From your wheel, I would ask you to consider ‘what would
increase your score’? Trying to be realistic and avoid saying to win the
lottery!!!!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You’ll start at this point to keep a goal sheet.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We will then start looking at your core values, this is your
personal emotional footprint – your core values if satisfied will bring you to
a happy settled place , if crossed can make you feel angry, unhappy even
depressed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once we have established you core values, we will set about
looking at the action and activities that Honour or satisfy those values. It is
logical that if you can do more of the things that deeply satisfy your sole,
then you will be becoming a happier person. Likewise if you learn to avoid the
things that cross your core values, you will be taking control emotionally and
managing any stress or anger as a result.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We will also look at your ‘personality driver’ some people
are big pleasers, others perfectionists – our work together will help you to
understand which one of the five is your strongest at the same time the
positive points of each type and of the development areas.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Both the core values and the personality drivers will give
you thoughts and ideas to add to your goal sheet for future planning.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When you are armed with your full set of core values,
drivers and goals sheet, we will start to work with your motivation and
visualisation to be able to cement your desire to achieve your plans. Small
tasks will be set along the way to prove that you can do it, we will also
examine any beliefs that you hold that may limit your behaviour and the plans
we are putting into place .No need to have anything holding you back!!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If this is something that you fancy embarking upon, I would
suggest that a typical coaching programme would be around six sessions, which
possible would be over a six week period one session a week. The gap in between
sessions gives you chance to work on the exercises and think about the changes
that you wish to make. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Face to face, phone or skype are the norm, however on-line
or blended learning is becoming popular, this method of coaching is via email
personalised modules plus the opportunity to ask and be asked further
questions.</div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Many
people are loud, opinionated, talk a lot and appear to be confident but
the truth is many of them are 'acting as if'. It is a mask to cover up their
deep insecurities, fears, anxieties and lack of self worth. Many are
masters of faking confidence. Yet when things go wrong they are crushed
and often start drinking excessively, smoke, bite their nails, overeat or
live on coffee and not eat at all.</span></span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Self-confidence
acts as the backdrop in your life and is the foundation of success. Not only
does it make you feel good about yourself but it also means you set larger
goals and determine your own definition of success, rather than adopting than
anyone else's.<br />
<br />
Self-confidence affects your self-assurance self-judgment, positive self-image.</span></span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Self-confidence
is the key to success in every area of your life. When you have self-confidence
you do not feel ‘less than anyone else’. You get that you are
perfectly imperfect and you build on what you have. Your know that your
perception of yourself has a huge impact on how others perceive you. </span></span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">You show up,
speak up, and stand up for what you believe in regardless of anyone else's
views or opinions.<b><br />
<br />
Self-esteem</b></span></span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Self-esteem
stems from our beliefs and our consciousness, therefore if you truly value
yourself and believe you are worthy this will be expressed through your
thoughts, behaviours, feelings and actions. Your self-esteem affects your
self-worth, self-value and self-respect.<br />
<br />
Having self-esteem means trusting yourself and not just treating other
people well but treating yourself well also. It means focusing on
positives, rather than negatives, and feeling worthy of good things happening.
Taking care of your body and mind, and honouring yourself.<br />
<br />
When you have high self-esteem you do not constantly compare yourself to anyone
else, as you know that is insulting yourself. You focus on your strengths and
assets and build upon them. You do not discount things that don't go as well as
you had hoped, and when things do go well, you don't write it off as luck or
give credit to others, you own your power and validate yourself.<br />
<br />
<b>Self-confidence and self-esteem<br />
</b><br />
So I hope you are now clear that self-esteem is when you believe you are worthy
and deserving to be successful and happy. Self-confidence is when you
are not fearful to take risks and go for it as you feel talented, skilled,
smart enough to go for it.<br />
<br />
When you have both your life will change beyond your wildest
dreams. </span></span></span></div>

‘I am who I am. Take me or leave me. If I don’t live up to your expectations,
that means nothing to me. I accept myself, and if you don’t accept me, that’s
your issue.’ and you go for it!</span></span></span></div>

to build a bionic immune system is that cancer flourishes in an acidic
environment. Studies have shown that in a pH slightly above 7.4, cancer cells
become dormant - and at a pH of 8.5 cancer cells will die while healthy cells
will live. Maintaining the proper pH balance is also vital to preventing many
other diseases and for general health. Also, people state that they feel
physically and mentally better when their body is more alkaline. </span></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

(7.35-7.45) under all circumstances. If the pH ever varies from this range,
cells stop functioning.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Fortunately the body has mechanisms in place that
keep the pH in this safe range. One such mechanism is to extract alkaline
minerals such as sodium, potassium, zinc, iron, and calcium from tissues,
organs, bones, ligaments, and muscles. This keeps the blood pH stable but is
not good for general health since the levels of these vital minerals can be
lowered to an unhealthy degree. Moreover, when the body tissue becomes even
somewhat acidic within the allowed range it creates a burden on the liver,
kidneys, and heart and therefore stresses every cell in the body. </span></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Acid-forming foods and stress create an acid
residue in the tissues and organs that builds up over time and result in what
people refer to as having an <i>acidic body</i>. Such a condition is a breeding
ground for bacteria, viruses, and cancer. Fortunately there are many ways to
completely reverse this problem, but only if you are aware of it. Thus it is
important to test your body for excess acidity.</span></span></div>

(highest alkaline). A pH of 7 is considered neutral. The goal is to reach a
reading higher than 7. The easiest way to test the PH is with a urine or saliva
test that can be purchased at most pharmacies or health food stores. When using
the saliva test make sure you don't eat or brush your teeth 30 minutes prior to
the test, and make sure to swallow a few times before testing. The urine test
is generally lower in the morning and gets higher in the evening so try to test
twice a day. Read the instructions and match the results to the chart on the
container. Be aware that the results can change throughout the day for any
test, so measure it once in the morning and once in the evening and look for an
overall trend.</span></span></div>

It is of no surprise that this requires a diet with a heavy
concentration of fruits and vegetables and little or no processed foods.
Examples of alkaline forming foods are raw spinach, figs, mangoes, and
almonds. Some examples of acidic forming foods are alcohol, caffeine,
poultry, pasta, and cranberries. Here is a comprehensive list of foods to
eat and foods to avoid.</span></span></li>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Chocolate and ice cream are very good examples of the 'instant fix' we will receive once we get hold of some!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">However, some goal are less instant and far more difficult to remain focused on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So, what can we do?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There is a 7 stage process that involves knowing your core values, your beliefs and being able to envisage the new you in the future. - if you struggle to move from one to another, your goal may need to be re-assessed.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">I think the first thing to acknowledge is that we all experience thoughts that are negative and filled with self-doubt.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">In some instances it becomes very difficult to logically and rationally move on from the nagging thoughts – they become all invasive and begin to change the way we view ourselves and how we believe that others perceive us.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">Anxiety and depression are very easy states of mind to slip into – negative thoughts can lead to lacking in confidence, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, addictions and conditions such as OCD (Obsessive compulsive disorder).</span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">There are two exercises that I would like you to work through in order to take back control.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">Neither are magic sessions, so they need practice and work, with the exception of the intervention of logosynthesis, most things that are worthwhile take a bit of effort.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">The first exercise involves recording your negative thoughts as they happen, so record:</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">The situation</span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">The thought/s</span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">The feeling/s</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">When you are in this state of anxiety you will not be able to think rationally, so for now keep recording until you have around 6 examples.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">Then, when you are feeling happier or clearer ask your brain to apply some logical thought, literally.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">Re-frame the original thought or thoughts and what is almost the exact opposite. Some people like to use a 3rd party and think to themselves what would ‘X’ think in this scenario. Work face to face with your coach if you struggle to gain clarity at this stage.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">Record the new re-framed thought and see what you feel.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">Record the new feeling.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">Writing this down is advisable in the first place – ultimately you will be able to think this way as and when the thoughts happen or near to.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">Keep practicing!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">Our minds are full of all sorts of thoughts good, bad, positive and negative – fundamentally we need you to be able to record-reframe until you become used to thinking in a more balanced fashion.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">Exercise 2 - Mindfulness</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">Because our brains are busy the whole time dealing with all manner of stuff. It is very wise to be able to practice mindfulness.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">In essence mindfulness will calm your brain down, which inevitably allows you to take control and think logically and clearly.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">Mindfulness is centred around training your brain to concentrate on the here and now - not worries about past mistakes, or future problems.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">Take an apple and slowly observe it using your senses - what does it look like? What does it feel like? Does it smell? Bite into the apple and again observe the noise, the smell, the taste.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">You will notice that during this exercise your brains flits off into other places like a butterfly, don’t be disappointed this is normal – carefully bring you brain back to focus on the apple each time you wonder off. You will hear other noises going on around you again bring yourself back to the apple.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;">I hope you like apples!! If not find something similar that will allow you to practice.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></span></div>

Make sure your lungs are able to do their job without restriction. Start to observe your breathing – take the count of 3 for you inward breath, hold for 3 then the count of 3 to expel. Again carefully bring your mind back to the task in hand and focus on your breathing 3-3-3.</span></span></span><br />

life-shattering. Since the recession hit in 2008, thousands of organisations

of those cuts.</span></div>

support service for organisations during times of change. A combination of
leadership, management and communication coaching gives managers the skills and
confidence to deal with the challenging decision process, while CV, interview
and career coaching ensures redundant staff move as smoothly as possible to

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Outplacement coaching is a specialist support
service drafted in when organisations undergo drastic restructuring. Corporate
restructuring usually happens when organisations run into financial
difficulties and can no longer afford to operate in the same way. Often, this
is a nice way of saying a lot of employees are about to lose their jobs.
Undoubtedly, this is an emotional time for everyone involved - from the people
who no longer have jobs, to those given the unpleasant task of managing the
cuts.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">To understand the role of outplacement coaching
during corporate restructuring, it can help to see the business as an old house
in need of renovation, and outplacement coaching as the temporary scaffolding
surrounding the structure. Scaffolding allows builders to get around the house,
inspect damage, decide what needs to be done and to make the necessary repairs.
In the context of corporate restructuring, the role of outplacement coaching is
much the same. Coaching allows employers to see the organisation from the

strategies for redevelopment. Outplacement coaching props up the workforce
itself by providing a support structure for staff who no longer have a job,
before leading them safely to a new role by optimising their skills and
employability.</span></div>

aim is always the same: to make corporate restructuring run as smoothly as

The two main roles of an outplacement coach are:</span></div>

leaders, who must try to keep productivity levels high throughout the selection

warning them of potential job loss can be something of a challenge.</span></div>

guys' during the restructuring process. After all, they are the people who
decide who keeps their job and who goes. It's natural for employees to feel
some level of <span style="background: white;">resentment </span>towards
management when they're put in such a powerless position. However, those people

the stress of change and the transition process itself.</span></div>

most of the first part of our lives preparing for work as we make our way
through the education system, and the rest trying to get, keep and do well at
the roles we've qualified ourselves for. For some of us, all that time, energy
and passion can end rather unceremoniously. Every year, millions of UK jobs
simply cease to exist, and the employees who once filled those roles are thrown
back onto the job market - often with very little warning.</span></div>

changes that come with it, can be a challenge to say the least. People dealing

or a money-earner; to them, it's everything. Some people make huge sacrifices
to succeed - they neglect other parts of their lives so they can inject every
last drop of thought and energy into their work. Love, holidays, families,
hobbies - all sacrificed for the career ladder. Imagine then, that all of your
hard work ended in someone telling you your skills are no longer needed, and
that your job no longer exists. It's easy to see how someone could experience
feelings of grief after being made redundant.</span></div>

can wreak havoc on a person's mental health. When you lose your purpose in
life, feelings of inadequacy, boredom and hopelessness can quickly set in -
emotions that, if left unchecked for long periods of time, can result in
depression. </span></div>

home-life. With work and money comes a certain amount of power and
independence. Stripped of those, and it's easy to feel disempowered and
inferior. On top of this, people are often forced to sell their houses, give up
their hobbies and change their routines to cope with having less money.
Resulting shifts in family dynamics can cause tension and lead to arguments
among other relationship problems.</span></div>

weeks to a few years. As a result, some people become increasingly inactive as
they spend most of their time trawling for jobs online. On top of this, boredom
can also tempt people to eat more than they would otherwise. Inactivity and
overeating can soon lead to weight gain, increasing the risk of high blood pressure,
diabetes and heart disease among other health problems. </span></div>

What motivates you? What sparks your passion and gets you feeling enthusiastic?
Your redundancy could be a great excuse to make a complete career change. Is
there something you've always wanted to do? During a career coaching session
you will be encouraged to think analytically about your situation so you can

a plan for getting there. In order to attract potential employers, you will
need to build your personal brand. This essentially means devising a unique
selling point, or USP, for yourself. What can you offer? Why should someone
employ you? Your outplacement coach will encourage you to write down as much as
possible about your skills and strengths. Once you've created your own brand,
you have a better chance of producing a concise, focussed CV.</span></div>

can often help individuals learn different techniques for developing their
confidence and self-belief. Coaching is designed to raise an individual’s
self-image and help them create a more positive outlook of life and themselves.
Life coaching will help you to help you assess your current levels of
self-esteem, challenge your beliefs about yourself and help you build a new,
positive self-image, with indestructible levels of confidence.</span></div>

confidence may trust and be happy that they can complete tasks to a high
standard, learn things quickly, or appear attractive to others. By definition,
self-confidence means to trust or have faith in you. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

confidence can also be described as the way that we project ourselves to the
outside world. We don't have to truly feel confident in our abilities, looks or
capabilities in order to appear confident to others. Many people
can portray an image to others of complete confidence while shaking
with fear on the inside. This is an often used protection method used by many
to cover up for a lack of self-esteem or other feelings about themselves that
they would rather not acknowledge or show. </span></div>

or self-worth describe the way that you feel about yourself regardless of
your achievements, looks or other things you may feel confident in. It is
closely associated with self-respect and pride in your yourself. If you have
high self-esteem you have a good or favourable opinion of yourself and are
happy in your own skin. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

can be to do with the way that we rate or appraise ourselves against others.
This can cover many desired things such as whether we think we are as
attractive, intelligent, loveable, worthy or successful as others.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #595959; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 166;">Having
a low self-esteem can cause havoc with your mood. Feeling that we are worth
less than others may lead us to strive for perfection but never feel we have
achieved enough, or constantly trying to please others. Those with
low self-esteem or low self-worth may feel depressed, guilty, low and they may
try to prove their worth to others. They may avoid situations that could cause
fear, anxiety or challenges they feel unable to cope with or conquer.</span></div>

can be explained as a mixture of the above (confidence and self-esteem). It
encompasses the impressions you have of yourself, covering things like
abilities, skills, looks, age, sex, intelligence, successes, career and more.
It also covers how you feel about yourself and the impression you have of
yourself.</span></div>

<i><span style="color: #595959; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 166;">"Whether

are countless ways to improve your self-confidence and some may work better for
you than others. The main principle to remember is that you need to truly
believe in yourself in order to start making a difference to your confidence
levels. It has been proven many times that if you lead with your thoughts then
your body will follow. This can be seen in successful sports people, medical
miracles, and in children who are usually more open about their self-belief.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #595959; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 166;">Most
self-confidence improvement techniques are based on the power of the mind and
body to work in unison in order to achieve good results. A positive mental
attitude will carry you through many obstacles by enabling you to do things, create
change and heal yourself with the incredible power of your mind.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

contrast, a negative attitude will create negative actions, results, feelings
and low self-confidence levels.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #595959; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 166;">The
beauty of any technique based on a positive mental attitude is that you don’t
need to know the outcome of an action in order to be able to do it, you simply
need to believe you can do it and your body will loyally follow the situation
your mind has created for it. This may not always happen straight away and will
take a lot of practice but is a proven technique that can produce (so called)
miracles.</span></div>

As a positive influence,
stress can motivate individuals into action and increase productivity levels.
However, as a negative influence, feeling stressed can have the opposite effect
and actually lead to adverse physical symptoms. Each individual will have
different stress thresholds, and what is stressful to one person may be
exciting to another, and vice versa.</span></span></span></div>

an emergency stress will force us to exert maximum effort to defend ourselves.
However if no emergency happens, all the extra energy has nowhere to go and
negative stress can lead to anxiety, anger and depression, as well as
headaches, high blood pressure and insomnia.</span></span></span></div>

personal lives. Being stressed is recognised to be one of the main causes of
absence from work, and research suggests about half a million people in the UK
experience work-related stress that they believe is making them ill.</span></span></span></div>

or the death of a loved one can cause stress as individuals adjust to changes.
Negative stress occurs when a person feels they are unable to cope with the
level of stress facing them, presenting the need for stress management or help
with stress levels.</span></span></span></div>

individual to understand why they’re feeling the way they are and understand
how thoughts can be modified to help manage their stress. Exploring an
individual’s personal stress levels can also help them to identify their own
stress threshold, and identify when they are feeling negatively stressed.</span></span></span></div>

things individually or a build up of multiple issues. Working out how to cope
with your stress levels and experience less stress will mean identifying the
causes and symptoms. Here are some common types of stress, possible causes and
symptoms:</span></span></span></div>

the UK is work related stress. As a nation we are now working longer hours, and
recent statistics (2011) show that 6 out of 10 workers are working overtime
with 79% of these hours going unpaid. This sort of pattern is a perfect
platform for work stress problems, and stress is now the number one cause of
long term absence from work in manual and non-manual employees.</span></span></span></div>

or advice. Whether it comes from a friend, colleague, manager or professional
life coach, talking about what you are experiencing and the feelings you have

contributing to your work stress, so ensure you think carefully about where
your stressed feeling is coming from before you are able to start addressing
it.</span></span></span></div>

for all of us, but sometimes this goes even further and you may experience high
stress levels which you can pin down to being caused by the relationship you
are in.</span></span></span></div>

otherwise) but is also very common between family, friends, colleagues, bosses,
employees and strangers. A lot of the time the stress in a relationship can be
caused by arguments between people, however, there is also an awful lot of stress
which is brought about by lack of communication. When you feel aggrieved or
annoyed with someone or something they have done and you don’t express it the
pressure and stress caused stays within you and can eat away at you. This is
why it is extremely important to communicate within your relationships. This
doesn’t mean you have to tell people about every single thing that annoys you,
but if you think it is likely to cause an argument in the future, perhaps it is
best to address it swiftly with a calm discussion. This simple action can make
a massive difference to stress levels within your relationships.</span></span></span></div>

or people in the relationship, as many people perceive it to be. A lot of the
time, our own actions and thoughts which we are not fully aware of cause stress
to us and addressing this first will enable you to feel less stressed.</span></span></span></div>

ever had a problem that you can’t move forward on? Sometimes it’s a big problem and sometimes it’s small, but what you may not realise is that it might not be the problem that is the real problem! In this article I want to share some useful questions that can powerfully alter your feelings about a problem you may be experiencing and help you think constructively about how to resolve it.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';font-size:100%;color:#999999;"> </span><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="Lucida Grande"font-family:'lucida grande';font-size:100%;color:#999999;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';font-size:100%;color:#999999;"><span lang="EN-US" style="Lucida Grande"; ">Our ability to produce intelligent solutions to complex problems is a direct result of our ability to ask useful questions about that problem.

You can run any subject through these questions: career, relationship, weight loss or a conflict. The idea is to answer both sets of questions and compare the notes afterwards to see for yourself what an effect it can have .

No-one can deny the importance of water, but what are the specific benefits of drinking it regularly to our <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">wellbeing</span>?<br /><br />The list of advantages goes on, but here are some of the most useful and beneficial effects of drinking water:<br /><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 255);">Detox</span><br /><br />Water is the ultimate natural detox tool, enabling you to keep your body pure and flush the negative toxins from your body. Our bodies are already programmed to act as effective <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">detoxifiers</span>, but this is mainly fuelled by the amount of water we drink, so ensure that your intake is frequent to benefit from these detoxing qualities.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 255);">Bowels</span><br /><br />Unknown to many, constipation can be helped significantly by increasing water intake. It is recommended that drinking 6-8 glasses of water a day can prevent constipation, as well as reducing the symptoms for <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">existing</span> sufferers.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 255);">Skin</span><br /><br />By drinking plenty of water you are helping to keep your skin hydrated and healthy, which is particularly beneficial in trying to fight the signs of ageing. We are encouraged to use moisturizers daily on our skin, but when one of the main ingredients of such a product is water, why not save money and moisturize your skin from the inside out? Water is also great for reducing spots and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">acne</span>, as it flushes out the bad toxins and impurities that are cause for your bad skin.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 255);">Weight Loss</span><br /><br />One of the great things about water is that it is a good appetite suppressor, when drunk often, and will help you to keep your snacking habits at bay <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">inbetween</span> meals. It is also a great calorie-free replacement for fizzy and sugar-loaded drinks that are damaging to your health and teeth.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 255);">Hangovers</span><br /><br />Hangovers are a painful result of having one too many the night before, but the reason behind this is dehydration. The best way to overcome, or even prevent, a hangover is to drink plenty of water the night of consuming alcohol, preferably before you go to bed, and continuing this ritual throughout the next day. Your symptoms will be reduced significantly, in particular that splitting headache!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 255);">Cellulite</span><br /><br />The main cause of cellulite is a build-up of unwanted toxins in the body, and by not regularly drinking water and ridding your body of such toxins, you are more likely to get it. Once you have cellulite it can be difficult to rid yourself of it, which involves a long detoxifying process. Water is a powerful prevention for cellulite, as it allows the body to be cleansed of such toxins and waste products.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 255);">Kidneys</span><br /><br />Water is an essential part of good kidney health, and with an insufficient intake of it you are making your body vulnerable to a variety of diseases by potentially putting your kidneys at risk. The kidneys act as a filter system in the body, but require the frequent movement of water through them to perform well, therefore by regularly drinking water you are ensuring the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">wellbeing</span> of your kidneys, and consequently your health.<br /><br />Water is such a vital part of our <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">wellbeing</span> and solves a variety of problems, as well as increasing the quality of your mental and physical health. Water makes up 50-70% of an <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">adult's</span> body weight, therefore it is important to constantly top up on our intake to ensure our bodies function to the ability they are capable of. It is recommended that we all drink 6-8 glasses of water a day in order to replace the water lost by our bodies on a daily basis, so why not make a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">conscious</span> effort to reach this goal, and see how water can benefit you?<br /><br />--<br /><br />Image Source: colon-cleanse-with-detox-diet.comLife Coach - Niki Chalkleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01179009863773896760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268102203434474266.post-76223354396951522812011-11-25T04:24:00.002-08:002012-02-14T03:45:39.915-08:00How To Beat The Winter Blues<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqaIxOub2-2koJhq787WpSk5tsDz3X8DIfO4tb0R6uY3g2Xh9L8mXkd3ovbsNzDvAazcnKxEW7H4AGDcaGhDGbDl7EJltOqncQOXeGBITQGqIIm9d1245WRSW25Cevh16TcdofmbYtnkn4/s1600/spring460.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 209px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqaIxOub2-2koJhq787WpSk5tsDz3X8DIfO4tb0R6uY3g2Xh9L8mXkd3ovbsNzDvAazcnKxEW7H4AGDcaGhDGbDl7EJltOqncQOXeGBITQGqIIm9d1245WRSW25Cevh16TcdofmbYtnkn4/s320/spring460.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708955924008884066" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Seasonal Affective Disorder, or more commonly known as SAD, or the "winter blues", is a form of winter depression that currently effects approximately 7% of the population every winter between the months of September and April. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">The condition is caused by a biochemical imbalance in the hypothalamus as a result of decreased daylight hours and lack of sunlight during the winter months. This lack of light can lead to symptoms of SAD <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">occurring</span> in some people, such as:</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">- Depression</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">- Sleep problems</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">- Lethargy</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">- Over-eating</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">- Loss of concentration</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">- Social problems</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">- Anxiety</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">- Loss of libido</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">- Mood changes</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">If you notice that you are experiencing a variety of these symptoms during the winter months in particular, then you may be suffering from SAD. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">The majority of people with SAD will also show signs of having a weakened immune system, thereby making them more vulnerable to illnesses and diseases.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Subsyndromal</span> SAD, or the "winter blues", is a less severe version of the condition, including the symptoms of tiredness, lethargy and sleep and eating problems, but depression and anxiety tend to be absent or mild. A further 17% of the population suffer from this form of SAD.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Suffering from SAD is an unpleasant experience for many, and the majority of people won't even realise that they have it. Even if you think you may be experiencing SAD, there are treatments available that can make your Christmas a happier one!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">The main treatment for SAD is light therapy, which enables your body to get the essential light and vitamin D it needs. However, light therapy is not currently funded by the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">NHS</span> and can be an expensive form of treatment.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">If you cannot afford such treatment, then why not try the following self-help treatments that are guaranteed to make you feel better in no time:</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);">- Exercise outdoors if possible - this can be something as simple as walking yours or a neighbour's dog. The dog will love it and so will you!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);">- When the sun does shine, get out there as you will still get the essential vitamin D. We have some beautiful clear blue winter days.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);">- Prepare for winter by lining up some projects that can be completed during the winter months, such as online course/distance learning that will keep you busy and focused. You could also read that favourite book of yours, improve your cookery skills, invite friends around for dinner, or even - dare I say it - spring clean!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);">- Book a cheap winter holiday in the sun by registering with something like <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Travelzoo</span> or <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Dealchecker</span>. These companies trawl the holiday bargains each week and let you know by weekly email but you can log in anytime to find out what’s on offer – last week they offered a £299 all inclusive week in the Canaries - bargain!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">So there are many ways of reducing symptoms of SAD, but if you feel you may be suffering from the condition, the first thing you should do is consult your doctor. Don't let SAD get you down this winter!</span><br /><br />Image source: guardian.co.ukLife Coach - Niki Chalkleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01179009863773896760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268102203434474266.post-47232637321539102832011-11-11T07:43:00.000-08:002011-11-11T07:55:09.519-08:00What Makes You Spark and Sparkle?<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 212px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673766901069639042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTtABrcgh5DHlo-6g3JnzxeRuk-g4RI_QgN5PCHNlMiR6GLeeprMlbNWyyAw9h9_KiU51uDiGACnASAkhGAoTzpomLyhHZWvt8EcvENIZpz6cIX3u4P938LDuQRpM7ryFonp8hkXsQmND-/s320/happy_woman.jpg" />

<br /><span style="color:#333333;">
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Some examples of typical core value are; </span>

<br />
<br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Respect, adventure, imagination, contribution, trust, vitality, experience.
<br /></span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size:130%;">In essence, if these words conjure up a feeling of true and meaningful depth for you, or perhaps move you in some way, you are beginning to find out what really matters for you.

According to our muscly friend, spinach has the ability to provide super-strength that will allow you to send people flying through the cartoon sky...</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#666666;">Although Popeye may have slightly overestimated the ability of spinach, he wasn't completely wrong about it being an excellent vegetable to regularly consume.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#666666;">In fact, spinach is such a nutritionally beneficial food that researchers found that keeping ageing laboratory animals on spinach-rich diets significantly improved their motor skills and learning abilities.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#666666;">The main benefits of this tasty, mild-flavoured vegetable include:</span><br /><br /><ul><br /><br /><br /><li><span style="color:#ff99ff;">The flavonoid compounds in the leaves have been found to act as antioxidants, therefore protecting the body against stomach, skin, breast, prostate and many other types of cancer.</span></li><br /><br /><br /><li><span style="color:#ff99ff;">The high content of carotene means that spinach is a strong protector of eyesight, giving carrots a run for their money.</span></li><br /><br /><br /><li><span style="color:#ff99ff;">It is also particularly rich in vitamin K, which helps to boost bone strength and is thought to even prevent osteoporosis.</span></li><br /><br /><br /><li><span style="color:#ff99ff;">Spinach also contains peptides, which are aspects of protein that have been shown to lower blood pressure.</span></li><br /><br /><br /><li><span style="color:#ff99ff;">Its high vitamin E content is said to help protect the brain from cognitive decline as we age.</span><br /><br /></li></ul><br /><br /><p><span style="color:#666666;">Due to its mild flavour, spinach is a perfect accompaniment to most foods when you are trying to improve the nutritional benefits of your meals. It is also fairly cheap and long lasting so that you can make the most out of it.</span><br /><br /></p><br /><br /><p><span style="color:#ff0000;">Superfood tip: The carotene in spinach is better absorbed when the leaves are cooked, rather than eaten raw, or perhaps try adding a little oil. The best way of retaining the antioxidants within the fruit is to steam or stir-fry.</span></p>Life Coach - Niki Chalkleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01179009863773896760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268102203434474266.post-66464094659168040872011-09-09T09:49:00.000-07:002011-09-14T09:34:13.339-07:00Superfoods for a Healthier You - Bananas<div class="fb-like" width="450" href="http://nikichalkley.blogspot.com/2011/09/superfoods-for-healthier-you-bananas.html" send="false" faces="false"></div><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizca4h02rdZ3A9hzczPrZBhXtmcAUJ1Y4ljHTMpj2xfjIY6RHQoZMQ2wsEbvW9dHJADRwlQWxGGWnvnt0oaSS1PaulRoiZP3piPeVXCQvq93nAuFYhaPwlkhqpFvDNBTFSL1uU6XoCrKaL/s1600/banas.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 212px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650403400222437202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizca4h02rdZ3A9hzczPrZBhXtmcAUJ1Y4ljHTMpj2xfjIY6RHQoZMQ2wsEbvW9dHJADRwlQWxGGWnvnt0oaSS1PaulRoiZP3piPeVXCQvq93nAuFYhaPwlkhqpFvDNBTFSL1uU6XoCrKaL/s320/banas.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#999999;">As well as bananas being one of the most impressive <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">superfoods</span> available to us, they are also one of the cheapest fruits around, and you can find them in almost any supermarket - healthy and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">convenient</span>! </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#999999;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#999999;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#999999;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#999999;">This <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">superfood</span> offers a long list of nutritional benefits that are unknown to many, but this tasty fruit will see you saying goodbye to a variety of medicines with their effective medicinal properties, and much, much more.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#999999;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#999999;">One of the best things about bananas is the amount of sustainable energy they provide us with, and this is due to the sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with the fibre in the fruit. </span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#999999;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#999999;">Scientific studies have provided further proof of the fruit's energy-providing qualities by showing how just two bananas can provide enough energy for a 90-minute workout - so next time you head to the gym, you know what to do!</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#999999;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#999999;">In addition to providing amazing amounts of energy, bananas are known for their abilities to protect our bodies against a variety of illnesses and conditions, including:</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#999999;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;">Depression - Recent studies have suggested that the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">tryptophan</span> in bananas help combat depression. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Tryptophan</span> is a form of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and make you feel happier.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;">PMS - It is thought that the vitamin B6 found in bananas regulates blood glucose levels, which can effect your mood. So swap the ice cream and chocolate for a banana, ladies!</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;">Anemia - The high levels of iron in the fruit help stimulate the production of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">hemoglobin</span> in the blood, therefore reducing symptoms of anemia.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;">Blood pressure - The US Food and Drug Administration has recently allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and strokes.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;">Brain power - Research has shown that high levels of potassium can improve performance in students by making them more alert.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;">Constipation - The high fibre content of bananas improves bowel movement without the need to take laxatives.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;">Heartburn - The antacid effect bananas have on the body means that they provide a soothing effect for sufferers of heartburn.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;">Obesity - It would be too obvious to say that bananas are a healthier snack option compared to chocolate and crisps, however the high carbohydrate content of the fruit means that you will feel fuller for longer - this means that it is better to snack on bananas than other fruits.</span></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;">Smoking and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">tobacco</span> use - It is thought that the B6 and B12 found in bananas, as well as the potassium and magnesium in the fruit, allows the body to recover quicker from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.</span><br /></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;">Stress - It has been scientifically proven that stress reduces the levels of potassium in our bodies, therefore by eating something with such high potassium levels as bananas, we counteract the negative effects of stress.</span></p><br /><br /><br /><p><span style="font-size:130%;color:#999999;">The list goes on, however I think it is now clear that bananas are a useful fruit to have around! No wonder monkeys are such big fans.</span></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Superfood</span> tip: Hungover? Why not try and swap that greasy fry-up for a banana milkshake with honey? The banana itself calms the stomach and the honey helps build up depleted blood sugar levels, whilst the milk soothes and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">re-hydrates</span> your body. </span></span></p>Life Coach - Niki Chalkleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01179009863773896760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268102203434474266.post-85106890578747021042011-09-04T15:43:00.000-07:002011-09-04T16:33:13.195-07:00Finally!

<br />
<br />
<br /><p align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color:#666666;">Everyone is all too familiar with the nagging feeling of guilt that creeps up on us as we throw the empty wrapper in the bin. It always starts off as one square... two squares... a row... a half a pack... gradually followed by the shameful act of licking up the remains. </span></span></p>
<br />
<br /><p align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color:#666666;">Of course, I can only be talking about chocolate.</span> </span></p>
<br />
<br /><p align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#666666;">Chocolate has always been known as a friend and a foe - it picks us up when we're down, but leaves us paying for it as we mentally calculate how many minutes on the treadmill it will take to burn off.</span><span style="color:#666666;"><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span></span></p>
<br />
<br /><p align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#666666;">Many of you may have accepted this as a cruel fact of life, however some very clever and considerate people have provided us with a brilliant sollution that will have you eating chocolate on a daily basis - and this solution is known as raw chocolate.</span><span style="color:#666666;"><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span></span></p>
<br />
<br /><p align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#666666;">I stumbled across this creation in a magazine and thought it too fantastic to not share with my fellow chocolate lovers. </span><span style="color:#3366ff;"></span><a href="http://www.therawchocolateshop.com/index.asp"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;">The Raw Chocolate Shop</span></a><span style="font-size:130%;color:#666666;"> sells only raw chocolate and explains that by preserving the natural goodness of the cocoa bean, there are many nutritional benefits to be had by eating raw chocolate.</span></p>
<br />
<br /><p align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#666666;">The only difference between raw chocolate and normal chocolate is that the cocoa beans used for normal chocolate are roasted at such high temperatures that it destroys the goodness of the beans, as well as other unhealthy ingredients being added.</span></p>
<br />
<br /><p align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#666666;">Raw chocolate also does not offer the refined sugar that makes normal chocolate so bad for us in the first place.</span></p>
<br />
<br /><p align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#666666;">As well as being considered a superfood and offering the first probiotic chocolate in the UK, raw chocolate is known to be a delicious substitute for normal chocolate.</span></p>
<br />
<br /><p align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#666666;">It sounds too good to be true!

It depends on how<br />long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem.<br />If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.<br /><br />If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.<br /><br />In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier<br />it becomes."<br />He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry<br />our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes<br />increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on.<br /><br />As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest<br />before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the<br />burden.<br /><br />So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry<br />it home. You can pick it up tomorrow, after you've rested. Life is short.<br />Enjoy it!</span>"Life Coach - Niki Chalkleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01179009863773896760noreply@blogger.com3
