The Linden Method
Charles Linden is a man who suffered for many years from anxiety which lead to OCD and Panic Attacks. He became Agoraphobic and his life was a mess. Fortunately his creative mind, the type of mind he says is more likely to suffer with anxiety, he went looking for a cure. He did what others have famously done to develop a strategy to help others and himself stop being anxious - he asked those who had recovered - 'how?'
Charles managed to create a simple programme for changing how you think and that has proved very successful. We have at our disposal many more techniques in combination with a suprisingly similar strategy which we developed simply from helping others. I also suffered from anxiety and panic from an early age. In my 20's there seemed to be no help available other than medication which wasnt effective. My own training taught me the understanding and then the techniques I needed to change how I felt for good.
When I tell my clients that they are in control of when and how they panic, the dont beleive it. It has seemed for a long time that they are being 'made anxious' rather than they are the ones creating it.
Our brains are so complex, our whole neurology and physiology is linked. The whole body is in fact the unconscious mind and the mind is subject to responding to whatever it is told to do. One anxious uncomfortable sensation leads to another and then another - eventually everywhere, everyone and everything is 'linked' to the anxious feelings.
How to start changing?
Thats easier with modern techniques. Meridian techniques combined with positive psychology, NLP and relaxation techniques all arm the individual with things to do, distraction, release and overall a 'cure'!
A positive programme to follow with daily things to do and things not to do! Thats the cure but what is essential is doing it - you cannot come for a session, learn the techniques and do nothing different and then expect something different to happen - that would be 'insane?" So when you come along, you are coached and supported in the changes you need to make your life start working for you.

FLOPPED WITH THOSE NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS?
Its more than common to 'fail' with New Years resolutions its actually the norm. So what went wrong?
Your goal setting skills are sadly lacking.
Your Motivation to succeed isnt 'connected'.
You dont actually 'believe' you can or will do it.
You might have some problems with planning and expectations.
Is this your goal or someone elses?
There are many reasons for goals not being achieved but the above questions/comments will help to reveal even the slighest stumbling block. Once revealed its easier to ascertain if in fact you really do want to achieve that goal and then set about making sure this time, it happens!
Napolean Hill studied 100's of the richest men in America last century before millionsaires were ten a penny. He discovered their strategy for success and this strategy has since benefitted millions more.
If you need some help with this voyage of discovery, NLP language, Hypnosis and various other components of our work can assist you. Added to that the combination of techniques we use will eliminate those stumbling blocks once and for all!
Heres to your successful Year! 2010 here we come!

Lazy or Not Motivated
Have you ever been called 'lazy' and either hated the label or felt powerless to change?
There is no such thing as lazy in the way we seem to mean it. The suggestion with the label is, you are a 'bad' person who wont do the whatever it is that another person or you think/s you should be doing.
Here's a tip - you just arent motivated to do this. If its really important and you actually need to or wish you could then its likely you havent yet found the right level of motivation to acheive it.
Sometimes we avoid doing things because someone else is dictating, the desire not to be controlled outweighs the desire to achieve the goal. Sometimes we havent prioritised the desire enough and sometimes we just dont really ever intend to do it.
The first thing to do is have a #meeting' with yourself. I mean it, literally have a meeting of the parts of your mind that either do want to get the job done, or dont want to. Find out why? Find out what each part is motivated to acheive and then you will be able to find other useful ways to meet the need that doesnt disable the desire.
Or you can develop a current motivation strategy, build it up in your mind so it becomes very powerful, then associate the same feeling state with the desire and 'bingo' you will find yourself doing it before you had time to procrastinate.
If you really are motivated to find out more about how to get motivated to stop being unmotivated, there are lots of ways and we help our clients to do this all the time. Some people literally book an appointment to become motivated to exercise more, some prioritise earning more money and some just want to feel good.
Give us a call and find out how we can help you to find that motivation and get the job done!

Credit crunch panic!!!!
Its truly fascinating to observe the effects of the media attention and subsequent public reaction to the current credit crunch. Where does it all begin - who started it - which idiot in charge of either funding or how we relate to the public, first raised the alarm and got the whole thing rolling???
In actual fact 'they' (that would be the media) have been talking on and off about a recession or slowing down for nearly four years!! We were caught in the last serious recession when people were being repossessed, we were lucky to be saved by an aunt who bailed us out of several occasions. However, we subsequently refused to move to a larger house/mortgage for longer than was necessary purely because then, we had more Fear than Confidence in the economy and our ability to manage whatever 'it' was doing.
I have learned over the years that Fear directs many of our behaviours however Confidence is equally as powerful - it just depends which 'state' we are currently in and therefore - where our focus of attention is. We all know someone who seems to be unaffected by what is going on, I am finding myself 'avoiding' the negative conversations, panic talk and general emphasis of a disaster in the waiting - why because it serves no purpose whatsoever to do otherwise.
As a mere normal person (that is I dont really get what is going on even though some of my very high powered, intelligent and financially clued up clients have done their best to explain) - I look at it from a different angle. Yes the Americans have overspent or overlent but why is it now suddenly a problem - dont any of the people at the top know how dangerous that would be in the event of a miriad of changes in the world. That I find astonishing, however what then astonishes me more is how the media are sometimes hell bent on putting the frighteners on the public and the more they do this, the more people change their behaviours to suit.
Right now, many people have stopped spending the way they were, now some of us may need to curb spending but for those who are just reacting to the suggestions around us, need to know they then participate in the problem and exacerbate further the difficulites. You stop spending and everyone is affected - it is a domino affect.
So why isnt some clever guy/gal putting a stop to all this and using their (governmental - thats a cool word when you look at it again govern/mental) power to call a halt to the way businesses can cause so much damage and how the media then encourage it to crash.
This is when I have found our clients are most in need of our help. They find themselves struggling with additional pressures and anxieties and many put their goals and dreams on hold. Our advice is - DONT! The more people generate positive energy with positive thoughts and positive actions, the more quickly we can recover. We must use a resourceful state to find solutions and not keep concentrating just on problems. The more people in business, government, the media and all the rest of us - do this, the quicker we will recover and show other countries how to do it!
Stay focused, stay positive, look for solutions and ask yourself only - 'how can I sort this?'
