Kamjah .. The Chronicles

Have you ever battled with losing weight or do you know someone who has? It’s a health condition that is more common then you would probably think. And most people who battle with this issue fall into the category of serial dieter. If this is the case then we can bet that most, if not all of those diets have eventually failed. In fact research suggests that once we finish a diet we are more likely to put the weight back on. Does this sound familiar? Are you craving foods and have that compulsive desire to eat unhealthy things like cake and sweets and things that prevent you from losing weight and keeping it off. Have you had the advice from your doctor to cut back on the calories and the fat to improve your health and you just can’t do it? The chances are you have been successful in many areas of your life but just can’t stay on that healthy diet and lose weight no matter high hard you try.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to never have to worry about food again like a naturally thin person and wished that you could be like that? Have you ever wondered how certain people eat whatever they want and never gain weight? And have you also noticed that all those weight loss programs come down to diet and exercise and then more diet and exercise. But if you have done all that and still have a problem with achieving your weight loss and fitness goals, then what are you going to do? Well if you are ready to learn the real solution then keep reading.

The real solution is a lot simpler then you think and you won’t typically hear it from most personal trainers or dietitians because it starts with how you think and the relationship you have with yourself. If you think like an overweight or out of shape person then even if you get into shape at some point you’ll quickly revert back to your old self almost 100% of the time. This is very dangerous, because through the cycle of losing, and then gaining, then back to losing again forms a negative behavioral feedback loop. This loop will keep you trapped, feeling badly about yourself and enslave you to forever be investing in the expensive latest hope filled diet crazes and quick fix personal training.

Have you ever noticed that the people at the gym who are in shape are typically not the ones working out with the personal trainers.. Then have you ever noticed the people that are typically working with the personal trainers are the one’s out of shape, and you see them a few times to never see them again.. If you have, then suppose there is a reason for that. Suppose that if being in shape and losing weight is not about the action, then maybe the real answer rests within our thoughts and beliefs..

If you agree that the answer lays within your thoughts and beliefs then you will also probably agree that the way to avoid problems is to first address the issue, with that issue being your thoughts and beliefs. I bet you could imagine what it would be like waking up in the morning feeling complete and whole. Eating the right things because you want to, instead of because you feel like you have too. Then imagine going to the gym to work out because that is part of who you are instead of as someone trying to keep up with false images and perceptions. If you were able to imagine that then you should also be able to imagine living your life healthy and from a place of real balance, real understanding and real direction. You can do it, all you have to do first is allow it to happen. It’s easy to get excited when you think about it because it can make you feel really good.

What are my options you might be wondering? NLP based Coaching is a very powerful place to turn first. It’s a cognitive based approach that works (Landmark, EST, Tony Robbins, most Conventional Coaching models etc.. base a lot of what they do off of NLP…NLP in sorts is “the source”). With that being true, after coaching now equipped with the right mind-set, you’ll be ready for the quality personal trainers to show you the exercises and the experienced dietitians to instruct you on how and what to eat.

Now that you’re aware of what’s possible with NLP based Coaching, find your own reasons to give it a shot. Then get ready to experience those necessary changes and shifts in your life that will lead you toward allowing yourself to truly realize your fitness and weight loss goals; and have them take shape permanently.

Having self discipline means that you have a path to freedom and to more of what you want. Some people will naturally disagree with this statement because they see the word discipline as a negative, as something that you have to do, must do without choice. For people that see discipline as a negative word it actually becomes equal to their absence of freedom and choice; however if you have discipline in your life you will see a change in how productive you are, thus freeing up your time to do many other things. If you have self discipline it means you can act intelligently and not be led by your emotions.

We know that this may involve sacrificing something of pleasure that in the short term may cause you some discomfort. The long term results of changing the way you think and behave can have a tremendous impact on your success in life. These successes can range from your relationships right through to financial freedom. Having self discipline means we can focus on a new project with that initial enthusiasm. It might mean going to the gym and leading that healthy lifestyle or putting your socks and underwear in the hamper, to waking up early to focus on your dreams and goals, or even putting the toilet seat down after you finish, to perhaps staying up late to complete that project, or even just understand that you can change your diet because you want to.

If you struggle with self discipline the good news is that it can be both developed and embedded into all aspects of your mind and emotions. We use an NLP based coaching approach for this because it creates a powerful message for you to change and to use self discipline in all areas of your life. You will see a quick change in the way you think and feel about yourself. This change will relate to all areas of your life that you want to develop. Maybe it’s a new relationship, maybe making that special person in your life feel valued, or it could be starting your path toward financial freedom. Whatever you desire you can achieve it but you must have the discipline to start and then continue with passion and commitment.

Are you ready to start living with more self discipline even if you already have a it? If so, then call (305) 851-2459 today for a FREE 15 minute no obligation, no commitment, consultation to find out if this coaching program is right for you. You have nothing to lose and will never know what can be without giving yourself a chance, you’re worth it, so call today.

On September 17^th, 2009 Geoffrey Schmidt was the guest speaker for Professor Jose Fernandez’s Masters level class on leadership at Sacred Heart University in Puerto Rico.

Via teleconference for 1 ½ hours Mr. Schmidt spoke to the class and answered questions on the benefits of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) based coaching. Students were made aware that many of today’s top leaders, business people and entrepreneurs hire coaches to help keep them on track and improve their performance.

Geoffrey was quoted saying: “It’s counter intuitive to think that today’s top business leaders and success stories are mostly the one’s hiring the coaches when on the surface most people wouldn’t think that they are the one’s who need it. Smart people recognize value, and understand how to leverage it - coaching is valuable. In many cases these top performers hire coaches not because they are struggling but because they want to do even better thus enhance their performance even more.  Coaching literally has become the new success secret of every savvy businessperson hungry for better performance and faster results”.

Geoffrey made sure to share some time with the students to explain how his coaching system works.  According to Geoffrey the system he developed was based on taking many things that were initially complex and then reducing them into their simple and easy to understand forms based on principles and techniques found in: Evolutionary Psychology, NLP, Nature, and Hypnosis.

He explained to students that his system has four main parts:

First - Diagnose the clients needs
Second - Have the client project their goals
Third -  Identify as many useful and destructive behaviors as possible
Fourth - Develop an action plan that unlocks their unlimited potential to succeed in any area of life or business

By the end of the class the students had been introduced to, and made aware of a field that many had not clearly understood before listening to Geoffrey speak. In closing Mr. Schmidt said, “Years ago many people wouldn’t have had access to, much less even known about coaching services existing. Today coaching is reaching more people then ever before and is no longer a highly guarded and coveted secret of the rich, famous and successful. It’s becoming more and more mainstream thus giving the people who want it  from all walks of life and backgrounds the real opportunity to experience the benefits “.

What are two things that highly successful people like actors, politicians, and corporate executives have in common? The answer: solid communication skills and coaches.

Part of being successful in any area of your life rests in your ability to communicate and connect with that area; whether it’s people, a task, or even an abstract idea. Direct communication comes in many forms, so for this article we will focus on the ‘in person’ or as you might say ‘face to face’ form.

Face to face communication is perhaps one of the most complex forms. When two people are communicating in person there is much more going on outside of the spoken word. In face to face communication, some researchers believe that only 7% of the communication process is contained within the context of the spoken word and the remaining 93% is made up of body language, vocal tone, eye contact, energy, and facial gestures.

Many successful people know the importance of clear communication. Why do you think many persuasive politicians and successful business executives work with personal coaches? One reason is to make sure they are communicating clearly and being received in the way intended. In the world of linguistics and kinesthetics we call someone ‘congruent’ when their words match their vocal tone and body language. Congruency is what many successful people seek in their interpersonal communication and is why many hire NLP coaches. Deep down we all instinctively know that truly congruent people are far and few, and that is why we have a natural tendency to gravitate toward the congruent elite. It makes sense that congruent business people often rise to executive leadership positions and congruent politicians get elected.

Here is a simple way test yourself for personal congruency.   Ask yourself:  “When I communicate are my messages always received the way I intend them”? If you answered yes to that question, then congratulations because it seems  you are congruent, and if you answered no, then it seems that you should allow yourself to benefit from training to become more congruent.

Becoming congruent can be learned with a few simple steps. When you learn how to control the different parts that make up your communication experience as a whole,  then you can be sure that your messages will come across the way you want them to be received. If you are ready to take control of that area of your life and start communicating with purpose and clear intent, then contact Kamjah now.

FYI: I may write another piece on this topic in the near future. I’m thinking my next one will cover congruency in dating. Ladies, ever had a guy creep you out? Guys, ever creep a lady out? LOL That is almost always due to a lack of congruency. Anyways, more on that later.
