SH has some very good advice (I'm loving your posts lately SH - the one on MrsCmr's thread especially :A)

Positive affirmations are defo the way forward. It's what got my through my 10k last weekend, I just need to apply it to the rest of my life.....

*Scuttles off to find the SUMO book*

Thanks MacGirl - I'm getting back in touch with my core values and I think it shows... I must admit I wrote my reply to KJ and then eyed it up to see if I should nick it for my next blog for my coaching business:rotfl: Only problem is I still want to be anonymous on here..... and if I copy stuff across that could be a risk!:eek:

kj I complete understand the need for hippo time with the sums of money and stress involved. I stand by what I said earlier - I have never been willing to take the kind of risks you have and therefore up to now haven't reaped the same financial rewards either...

Have you ever done the physical impact of positive and negative affirmations. I did this to a crowd of 6th formers and was completely wetting myself.

Firstly get a big strapping chap from the audience - or your client or OH if home alone.
Get them to make a fist and hold their stongest arm straight out in front of them.
Tell them you're going to try and push their arm down and they should try to resist you doing it.
You try and if strongish man doing it, you'll fail.
Now tell him to relax his arm at his side, close his eyes and repeat the following out loud 10 times for everyone to hear.
"I am weak, Iam useless, I am no good at anything".
After he's done that get him to stick his arm out as before and resist as before.
You'll be able to push it straight down. He will be gobsmacked.
Now tell him you'll fix him.
Arm down, eyes shut and repeat 10 times out loud.
"I am strong, I am powerful, I can do anything".
Arm out again, resist you as before.
You won't be able to move it again.

It works because your brain processes the verbal messages at a sub-conscious level which overrides the conscious resistance.

Truly worked - gobsmacked forty 18 year olds including the First 15 full back whose arm I was swinging up and down...

One for everyone to try on OH's, strapping sons and "fitter than me" ladies.

All results gratefully received for the positive affirmations roadshow here.

Hi KJ - I have seen it done as an audience member! It is an amazing sight to behold.... May have to nick that to focus on in my blog too!

Oh love all this bullsh1t bingo stuff (as OH lovingly calls it).

Did a big piece of work on the Gung Ho book too. All about setting priorities and taking charge. I'll see if I still have the presentation and I can send over to you.

Do you like the FISH books. Big one for me is being in the moment, something I guilty of not doing and that really improves my focus and results.

savingholmes

not seen the gung ho book

I have played buzzword bingo in my time

Yes I love FISH and in my own small way have introduced it at some of the places I've worked - for me it can be summed up in "choose your attitude" and working life is too long for you not to make time for "fun" along the way...

That is AMAZING KJ! There's me thinking I was already on board the Positive affirmations lovetrain being a fan of You Can Heal Your Life! I'm definitely into all that stuff.

Just looked at FISH on amazon, sounds similar to How to Win Friends and Influence People, I might see if I can get a copy from the library.

As for Sumo, I had the privilege of seeing the real thing in Tokyo some years ago, it was quite a spectacle - probably not good for blood pressure though.

Thanks for the advice re: the houses KJ, wish I had your brain! Good luck with the business SH, I'm sure it'll be a huge success

True. I saw a video about the guys who started it in Seattle...it actually made you want to work on a fish stall...that's got to be impressive.

I think my hippo bottom is starting to de-wallow...thanks SH and MAC for stopping by to chat while I had a "moment" or two.

Positives from this are tho -

• My forms were all spot on when the solicitor checked so I have got that part right and can re-use.
• I now know of a local firm of Sheriff Officers and they're not too expensive.
• I now know the cast-iron procedure.
• F3ckless Fooker's cousin Dirty Deek will be getting served next week before he's allowed to get anywhere near FF's arrears. That will also consolidate my learning of the process

Good for you - now go kick their sorry a5ses

Thanks macgirl for the encouragement we all need it

KJ - glad to see you are starting to see the "angel rays" through the clouds....

My pleasure.

If you need anything feel free to PM me, not always good to have to put more sensitive data on a open website.

Most of my letting knowledge is thro scars rather than brains. The development stuff is what I really love and enjoy. There are some nice reads out there. Great that we can exchange ideas and booklists here - loving that.
