Happy New Year!

Today’s New Year Resource recommendation is The Slim Girl’s Box of Secrets.

The Slim Girl’s Box of Secrets is a unique approach to balancing weight loss with health, happiness and style.

The Slim Girl’s Box of Secrets represents the unveiling of the secrets that celebrity life coach Ali Campbell has perfected working with clients from rock stars to royalty to help them achieve their goals.

The programme is NOT about dieting and caters specifically to people who don’t like exercise and really don’t want to spend hours in a gym.

The style used throughout is funny, engaging, irreverent and above all available to everybody who wants to be slim, healthy and stylish – there are no judgements and nobody need feel alone or that this programme is “not for me”.

Ali is a Master of Neuro Linguistic Programming and Hypnosis, a Personal Trainer and highly effective motivator  rolled into one.

The Box contains a 200+ page book, 2 DVDs, 2CDs and a specially designed style guide. The design of the package is aspirational and engaging. The package is supported by a world class and highly compelling community based, social
networking website where members may interact with others on the same journey and gain additional interactive content from a faculty of specialists.

Ali Campbell Says:
“As most people will tell you, diets alone don’t work. While there is nothing fundamentally wrong with many diets, what ‘is’ wrong is the whole concept of being ‘on’ a diet and then returning to your old ways afterwards. The Slim Girl’s Box Of Secrets is totally different, because it’s not about dieting, in fact it does not contain anything that could be described as a diet. Instead it allows anybody to aspire to a permanently slim figure combined with a fit, healthy and  active lifestyle by revealing to them the real secrets of naturally slim and stylish women.

First, the box of secrets contains a book, 55,000 words of encouragement written in my own conversational style containing the genuine techniques, and strategies I have used over the years and presented in 5 sections Slim,  Fit, Healthy, Active and Stylish.

The book contains an undercurrent of hypnotic language which on its own would often be enough to help someone lose weight but, I have backed it up with so much more.

There are DVDs, audio CDs and a style tool kit. One of the DVDs shows me working with a real client to demonstrate many of the secrets of eliminating cravings, switching off those ‘must have’ foods like chocolate and dealing easily with stress.

Another DVD features a complete exercise program designed specifically for people who don’t like exercise. The program does not involve going to the gym but can be performed at home without special equipment and is presented in a voyeuristic style by a top personal trainer as she works with the same client. Then those same exercises are presented in an easy routine for the viewer to follow along at home.

One of the audio CDs contains the slim girl’s key secret, designed to be used daily for weight loss without dieting. This is exactly as I would do for a private client.

On the next CD I personally guide the listener through each of the life changing techniques in the book to make them easier to follow and even more effective.”

The last thing in the box itself is the style tool kit, enabling the user to perform their own colour analysis, match their face shape to their ideal hair style and get a better understanding of their body shape and how to dress it to make the most of their natural assets.

Then we have the part that makes all the difference…
We have developed a unique community based, social networking website where friendships can be formed and notes of encouragement passed and pinned to each others virtual fridge. In their profile page they can plot their progress and log it in their personal journal.

While in the main part of the site, they will find a growing library of slim, fit, healthy, active and style articles, and can take part in the discussion forums and view live, reactive web casts from myself and many other experts as we address current discussion topics in our faculty section, the site even has an ‘unburden board’ where members can get their secrets off their chest and share them with the world while remaining totally anonymous.

We would love to enhance the site with some celebrity content in the form of quotes, or tips or even a few juicy anonymous secrets to add to our community! We’d like you to help us make the experience even more fun and engaging to ensure that many more women benefit from this new and innovative yet tried and proven approach…
The Slim Girl’s Box of Secrets really is a unique approach to balancing weight loss with health, happiness and style since it does not involve dieting and is tailored for the majority of us who don’t really enjoy exercise (although of course it works for exerciseaholics too!)”.

Today’s resource for the New Year is Jinny Ditzler’s book Your Best Year Yet.

Your Best Year Yet is a book that is split into 3 parts, an introduction to the principals behind “Your Best Year Yet” and sharing experiences of those who have already played, part two comprises of 10 chapters, with each chapter devoted to a particular question and part 3 is the space in the book for you to answer your questions and complete your very own best year yet “workshop”. How you use this book is is up to you, if you wanted you could jump straight to part 3 referring back only to part 2 for any clarity you need on any of the questions. You may want to read parts one and two in preparation for using the program yourself.

The workshop section comprises of 10 questions that look back over the last year, guides you through identifying what you want and then walks you through setting your own guidelines and focus. In my opinion, it’s beauty is in its simplicity. Its layout means that no matter if you are familiar with goal setting creating your own personal plan for the year ahead is very easy.

You can take as long as you like to complete this book but I would estimate that the final section would need 2-3 hours to answer fully.

“Our aspirations are our possibilities.”

(Samuel Johnson)

Have you noticed that sometimes the answer that you get will depend upon the question that you’ve asked?

I don’t know if you actually make any New Years Resolutions or set any goals for the year ahead but if you did how would you do it? What questions would you ask yourself?

If you are not aware of asking yourself any questions then you may like to look at previous new years resolutions/ goals and see what question they are answering.

Your answer will no doubt have depended upon the question that you asked.

This week I will talk about some of the common questions that people use when making New Years resolutions, setting goals and generally deciding what they want to create in their lives. (Oh OK a couple may not be so common but can be useful ) I invite you to use these questions to come up with some possibilities. You can then use your answers to decide if that is something that you would actually like to turn into a reality.

Why does it matter what questions are asked?

While some things may happen because of external things that are completely outside of your control, others events happen, at least partly, because of actions that you choose to take.

Earlier this year I was assisting on a couple of Michael Neill’s trainings where he stated that for most people the future they imagine is approximately plus or minus 10% of their past. That is, the future they imagine falls somewhere between 10% better or 10% worst than how they see their past.

But the future hasn’t actually happened yet so the future holds infinite possibilities that fall outside that 10%. (Unless you are a time traveller and you’re reading this on a trip into the past!) Sometimes, the questions that you use help you to see more of those possibilities so you can choose if you want to take action to make them real.

I invite you to play with the following questions and just notice the answers that come up for you.

You’ll probably find it easier if you don’t jump ahead to figuring out what the next step is to making your answers into a reality – I know it’s tempting but you may miss including some really cool things by doing it that way. It’ll be like only watching the first song of your favourite bands music concert and then leaving because you thought you had heard all they had to offer.

Besides, I’ve put together a list of resources that may help you with the next steps but I’ll tell you more about that after you’ve played with more possibilities.

(You may want to have a pen and paper handy to answer them)

What New Years Resolutions should you set?

What New Years Resolution do you want to set?

What New Years resolution would you love to set?

What New Year resolutions will you set?

What goals do you want to achieve in your future?

What goals would be fun to have in your future?

What goals are the next logical things to do in your future?

What would you love to create in 2010?

What would put a huge grin on your face in 2010?

What may seem impossible and/or impractical but you’d still love to have it in 2010?

If you know that you would be loved unconditionally regardless, what would you choose to do?

If you knew money was no object what would you choose?

If you know that it didn’t matter if you didn’t get it, what would you love to work towards?

Once you have answered these questions, and any other that spring to your mind, read through your answers. You may notice that you have similar or very different answers to how you normally do such things.

It’s now up to you, which (if any) you want to pick to use in your future.

Bonus tip

Sometimes your initial answer to a question is one that is influenced by how you think what you actually want can be done i.e. winning the lottery is one way of creating more money in your life.

To open up more possible answers, you may want to ask, “What would that give me” about your initial answer. Keep asking yourself for each level of answer that you come up with (even if it feels like you are making it up) until you can’t answer anymore.

For example, what would winning the lottery give me? More money

What would more money give me? I’d feel like I had more freedom to do more fun things easier.

For any that you would like to include in your future, now is the time to consider what the next step is to travel towards it.  For further resources that may be relevant for you click here. Then you can choose if that is something you want to do.

Have a week full of more infinite possibilities

Love

The first of the New Year resources recommendations for you is Michael Neill’s Creating the Impossible.

Sometimes you may allow yourself to admit that thing that you’d love to have/do/achieve but quickly follow that thought up with but “that’s impossible.”

In July last year over 550 people took part in “Creating the Impossible”, an online program designed to support you to transform your world in 30 days.

January see’s the program running again so if you have something that

1) You believe you have less than a 50% chance of success during January

AND

2) You are passionate about so that regardless how it turns out you’ll be glad of the time and energy that you invested

Click here to find out how you can join Michael Neill’s program.

Apart from being lots of fun and highly supportive I fond that the first time this ran I achieved so much more than I would in a regular 30 days – I certainly plan to kick start my 2010 by creating the impossible again.

“As for your future, your task is not to foresee it, but to enable it.”

(Antoine de Saint-Exupery)

This is the third piece in a series of pieces inspired by the festive story of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. If you missed the first one you can read it again here and the second one can be found here.

The third and final Ghost to put in an appearance in the story is the Ghost of Christmas future, who perhaps would be more accurately named the Ghost of Christmas future that may be – though I’ll admit it doesn’t have quite the same ring! As Scrooge found out the future that he was shown was one possible outcome if he carried on taking the same action.

The end of the year is nearly upon us and many people use the New Year as a time to set New Years Resolutions, set goals for their future and evaluate what they would love to create in the year ahead.

Unless you are a clairvoyant then our perception of the future is all best guesses about the chances we believe something will happen based upon experience and the action to be taken.

And sometimes this can be an incredibly useful way of behaving, for example the chances are very high that you will burn yourself if you stick you hand on a hot stove. For the record, it’s something I personally recommend that you don’t do J

You may have noticed that how we imagine the future can have an impact upon what we do in the present. If you played with last weeks piece you may also be aware that sometimes we also place restrictions upon ourselves by the stories we tell about our future.

I don’t know if you have ever listened to the way that some people describe what they want in the future but the language they use and how they describe it to themselves can make a big difference to how easy they find taking action to make what they are describing a reality in their future.

Have you ever heard someone say a variation of “what I want is to get back to …”?

For example I want to get back to a size 12

I want to get back to sleeping 8 hours a night.

I want to get back the confidence I had 10 years ago.

Maybe you have your own version of something you want to get back to …

What I’ve noticed is that when people include that “get back to” in the description of what they want, the focus is upon the fact that they have lost it rather than the outcome. This may be an accurate description of what they are feeling. However, I do know that it is often easier to get the result you want by just tweaking the language you are using so that you loose the “get back” bit without loosing the result that you want.

For example, I want to get back to a size 12 becomes I want to be a size 12,

Or

I want to get back to sleeping 8 hours a night becomes I want to sleep 8 hours a night.

In both examples the focus has shifted to totally being upon the outcome that you want.

Sometimes as you tweak, it may be appropriate to add more specifics of what you want in the future.

For example, I want to get back the confidence I had 12 years ago can become I want to be feeling confident as I return to work.

This week as I know the festive period is often a busy one I invite you just to notice the language that you use and to play with the description of anything you want to “get back to”.

Next week I will stick to the theme of how we predict the future and get more specific about New Years Resolutions, goal setting and creating the year that you want.

I hope that you have a fantastic Christmas week

Love

Jen
