Corsina Aquilina  - Dieting - Hints for a Svelte You and Think Thin |2010-02-05 13:33:44 By following these easy steps my partner and I have lost 15kgs each in 3 months. * Eat breakfast. If you don't fatigue and hunger will upset you. * Do not have any liquids with meals. Slowly sips them after eating. * Avoid fried and breaded foods. * Count the kilojoules in the foods you taste while cooking. * Regulate meal hours so you eat at the same time each day. * Vary menus and serve in dainty tempting ways. * Exercise for 30mins each day - Brisk walking is great. * Put away your scales. They are a constant reminder that you are overweight and create stress, anxiety and fear of failure. Let your clothes be your guide. * When you look in the mirror don't be disgusted. Imagine yourself getting thinner and like yourself as you are. The more you accept yourself the way you are, the easier it will be for the thin you to emerge. Reply 8 3

Angie Chatterton  - My happy place |2010-03-03 12:57:19 In the past year I have found myself to be in a state of anxiousness to the point of nausea and working myself into quite a state at least once a day. I try to pinpoint the time when I went from feeling like a same human being to this "Jekyll and Hyde" character I have become.. but to no avail to date. The anxiety starts from such little things; Will I miss the train?, Will my card be declined when I'm paying for groceries?, etc. and being left alone with my own thoughts is sometimes so sad that I question my self-worth. It's not like I have a sad life. With all things considered I shouldn't have anything to feel sad about! I have a supportive partner and friends, a nice apartment, a great job and will be starting university in a few weeks - but my worst enemy is the voice inside my head. In the past year I have let the sadness wash over me. I know that once I give in and let my emotions flow, it'll end and I'll go back to being me. But I'm not going to play that game any more. So now it's time to fight back. In the past few weeks I have been concentrate on going to "My happy place". I visualise being on holiday, in my little tent in the Otway ranges. The air is crisp and cool but I'm wrapped up in my warm sleeping bag. If I put my arms out of the bag they will get cold so I stay rugged up. It's early morning and it's still kind of dark. I can hear a few birds singing in the distance. It's a little bit windy and I can hear the trees rustling and it sounds like waves crashing in the ocean. I also hear some drops onto the tent, it's starting to rain. Fat, heavy drops gradually overpower all other sound I had heard. I can see the drops fall onto my small, blue tent. The drops trickle down the sides of the tent and make the air feel colder. But I am warm, safe, dry. I don't need to go any here, I don't have to fit into any schedule. I can stay in my happy place for as long as I wish - just watching the rain. No one is depending on me, I don't need to rely on anyone. I am completely content in my warm cocoon surrounded by the sounds of the bush and the rain. Concentrating on all of my senses (the smell of the tent, the temperature and texture of the sleeping bag, seeing the water streaming down the tent and hearing the fat drops of rain) settles me temporarily. I have used this technique to get me to sleep, to calm me down at the airport and on public transport. Obviously this is not a long term solution for anxiety, however I have found this technique to be very useful in the short term. I feel that hypnotherapy will use this technique but cure me for the long term so I won't need to consciously concentrate on my little tent in the bush. I long to feel happy - every day, every moment. I hope that if you feel the same sort of anxiety you can try this technique, and find your happy place as well!! Reply 0 1

Di  - expectations |2010-03-03 12:55:59 I have been feeling conflicted over my relationship lately and feeling that there are too many expectations on me to be a certain way. I of course have some expectations on my partner too - so I tried using the mirror technique of whatever my expectations are of my partner, I should look at as expectations of myself.... ie focus on me and what I should be doing to fill the "what I want" gaps - not easy, but it settled me down, to an extent...

Dave  - up in smoke |2010-02-21 11:38:59 for anyone out there who is looking to give up the smokes, or knows someone who might be willing to listen to some sage advice, here is my tip for giving the smokes up: When I first gave up smoking it were if I had lost a really good old friend. I missed it so much, the lure of the cigarette was so strong. But after a while it became clear to me that I had not lost a good old friend at all, what I had lost was a nasty, insidious enemy. So my tip to you all out there who want to give up the smokes, think of them as your nemesis, not your ally. Reply 3 0
