I'd love to do something big and brave though - I have a real problem with confidence (turned down a good opportunity a few months ago because it involved public speaking) but I'm not sure how to work on that or how I can find opportunities to do it.

Look for a local "Toastmasters" group if you are a joiner kind of person. If not, then maybe could run a webinar on something like this before the end of the 50 days??

Just a thought

you organise things so well MG.
I understand how your methods help students, can you enlighten me as to how it could help engineers manage their projects?
(For your speaking booking in Jo'burg this is.......:o )

And please can you help me join the matrix forum, I'm still having no joy this morning )

Copied this over to the web angel

Why don't you email me the details of your target group and I will email you back a Mind Map and list of points?

MemoryGirl I am trained in Emotianal Freedom Technique. ( Tapping accupressure points) I am laughing as I write this because I have the tools at hand and dont use it. Duh! When I did the training we did the chocolate thing and I did not eat it for ages.

For addictions, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) evolved from TFT and can help:


"EFTs results for Addiction and Substance Abuse problems can be extraordinary. The benefits are two fold: First, EFT can bring down the immediate craving within minutes so that one can walk away from food, cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, and other addictive substances. In a few cases this simple procedure has also collapsed the overall addiction.

Second, EFTs long term successes are due to its ability to address an important cause of addictions: the need to "tranquilize" the anxiety caused by underlying anger, fear, guilt, and trauma. Until these issues are dissipated, the addictive behavior may remain. That is why people who successfully give up one form of addiction simply switch to another (from alcohol to sweets, or from coffee to cigarettes, for example). EFT is designed to reduce or collapse the emotionally troubling memories that underlie many of our addictive behaviors. Once they're resolved, our need to tranquilize them with addictive substances tends to fade."


From this website

You can use EFT on yourself but I think for addictions it helps to work with someone experienced who knows how to uncover and desensitise your emotional triggers.

On days when I'm feeling my less that confident self I use my bell-jar.

I imagine that a six foot glass bell-jar is beng lowered over my head (to the tune of "Thunderbirds") and sealed to the earth with a golden light.

Anything negative anyone says to me bounces right off the glass (OK its in my head - but its pretty cool in there most of the time) and all the positive stuff can float right on through the glass.

Sounds daft - but then I know that its "their stuff" not mine.

Forgot to say MG when you posted this a few weeks ago I decided to try it when I saw 'Mr Negative' at work coming towards me.

So, here he comes, cue Thunderbirds music & a very small Thunderbirds ship carrying a very large bell jar. All going well so far.

Unfortunately in my version they dropped it too early, hit him on the conk & he passed out :rotfl:.

Still, it worked, as I was grinning throughout our conversation .

Note to self: Hmmm, have a meeting with 2 negative people next week. Must remember to leave the cupboard door open for Thunderbird 2 to get out

Another one of those "You couldn't make it up really" events with the big brown horse bank.

I asked for reduced payments of the monies still owed to let me get back to work -THEY REFUSED!! and told me if I didn't make the full payment they would start repossesion proceedings again.

So I try to go pay the money into my account to cover the mortgage and the personal guarantee - THEY REFUSED. Yup they actually refused to take my money :rotfl::rotfl:

So I contact my pet solictor who contacts their solicitor - and low and behold, they have accepted my reduced offer after all - conditional on me paying the full whack this month.

So I go to try and get the money paid in again - THEY REFUSED!!!!

AAAAArrrrrggggghhhh!!!!

and breathe

Off to play telephone roulette with the call centres yet again.
