Greetings Negotiators!
I’ve been Negotiating calories but not to my own best good for a long time. I had the good fortune of being invited onto a One Hour Teleconference training call as the guest speaker twice in the past few weeks. The products and services that the company these people represent are about nutrition, health and weight loss. After the second call I spoke at length to my contact’s mentor. I listened and learned and was inspired to try their products and services for about two weeks. I’m nearing the end of week one (after some Negotiating of course!)
One of the most interesting things that I learned is that our bodies produce fat to insulate our organs from toxins that we come in contact with. So some fat in our bodies can be caused by the level of toxicity of your environment.
I’m going to give the program and products a few months then I’ll share my results.
On a more serious note - I have a friend who’s created an amazing game. He’s marketing it with a video that he’s included me in at the very end. You can check out a talking gorilla here: http://yourownbestgood.com/?page_id=24. He and his life’s love Nan have returned recently from a European Tour focused mostly on the British Isles.
Today I received a call from one of my Relationship Coaching clients. Her dilemma was that she really wants a relationship but the counter-intention belief that was contrasting her will to find a significant other sounds like this:
I don’t need a man to be a whole person.
I understood her challenge and I broke it down like this:
- When our needs go unmet long enough our neediness becomes Desperation
- Desperation leads to Devastation - Whenever we act out of a desperate state we always create devastating results.
- The first resourceful behavior to inspire in someone who is feeling or acting desperate is to help them get some needs met. As soon as their neediness starts to decrease they can think creatively again and start accessing their own resources.
- Yes it’s true you don’t need another person to be “whole” however we all have needs. Companionship and attention are some of those needs. So if you go out and find someone for companionship then you are making a proactive choice to get your needs met.
- As you develop a relationship with yourself the relationships that you can attract and maintain with others grows proportionally.
One rule I try to remember when an avalanche of philosophy seems to swarm over a tiny practicality in our personal lives is When Philosophy meets Reality, Reality always Wins!
