A real winter's day today but a great chance to catch up with some indoor work. I got my business accounts up to date and have made great strides into writing some new material for my upcoming workshops.
I'm excited to be starting up some new free weight management workshops for my patients in January. These will incorporate some of the skills I picked up from Paul McKenna on my recent training day with him. They will focus on the mental aspects of weight loss rather than on the mechanics of what to eat or not eat. I'm a firm believer in getting your head right before doing anything and losing weight is no exception.
I've also been working on material for a workshop I'm running in January for a group of local GP trainers. This is a great chance for me to convey my passion for NLP and coaching to the local medical community - and I'm determined to make the most of it.
My calf seems to be on the mend but it'll be Wednesday now before I get the chance to try it out on the roads. Tomorrow's combination of early morning commuter surgery, afternoon on-call and evening french lesson means I have a 15 hour day which doesn't leave any time for running.
The dark evenings are great for reading though don't you think? I'm currently re-reading one of Richard Bandler's early books, "Using Your Brain For a Change". For anyone looking for a great introduction to NLP, it's a very good place to start. As usual with great books, there is always more to get out of them on subsequent reads. Education is for life, you never stop learning. As I tell my kids, education gives you choices. I've just looked on their school website and saw that a lad who used to go to their primary school was awarded the top student prize in the 6th form and a prize of £ 3000 this week. Wow look at that I said to them, as they played Playstation, doesn't that make you want to go and start your homework? No replied one of them -you have to spend it on education!
As a psychiatrist once said about Basil Fawlty in a classic episode of Fawlty Towers...... there's enough material there for a whole conference!
