****************** Things turn out best for the people who make the best out of the way things turn out. Art Linkletter ************ Vitamin E is Essential to Good Health Not only does vitamin E help keep bad cholesterol from sticking to artery walls and causing heart attacks, it also helps protect your cells from potentially cancer-causing cellular damage from free radicals. Boost your intake of E with hazelnuts, sweet potatoes, peanut butter, almonds, avocados, mangos, and safflower oil, or take a supplement. Most foods contain less than 7 IU per serving, and the body needs at least 400 IU per day for optimum age-reducing benefits. A supplement can help ensure that you get this amount. Vitamin E supplements may not be recommended for some people with certain medical conditions; check with your healthcare provider. Intake of alpha-tocopherol is limited among US adults. Mras, J. E., Bermudez, O. I., Qiao, N., Bakun, P. J., Boody-Alter, E. L., Tucker, K. L., Journal of the American Dietetic Association 2004 Apr;104(4):567-575. -- Broccoli May Help Prevent Breast Cancer Not only broccoli but also cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and kale contain high levels of sulforaphane, a powerful antioxidant with cancer-fighting properties. In a recent study, sulforaphane was shown to inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells by interfering with the cells' ability to divide. Studies have potentially revealed a similar effect on prostate cancer cells. However, experts caution that no one food or compound can completely eliminate cancer risk. Your best bet to reduce your risk of cancer is to exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, and eat a variety of fruits, vegetables, and plenty of fiber. Sulforaphane inhibits human MCF-7 mammary cancer cell mitotic progression and tubulin polymerization. Jackson, S. J. T., Singletary, K. W., The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2004 Sep 134(9):2229-2236. ***************************** Introductory NLP EveningDecember 7, 7:00pm - 9:00pm Please come as our guest.

Yet these are not our personal outcomes, and therefore do not provide the energy that propels us forward to truly achieve our highest potential. When we struggle with our outcomes, almost always there is some hidden inner conflict that needs resolution. Often we are less than fully alive because of these inner conflicts. Sometimes you may have an internal conflict or incongruence about some aspect of yourself and feel as it you are of "two minds" on the issue. In NLP, we call these parts and each is capable of having different intentions and functioning independent of the other. You may experience a conflict between: your job - spending time with your family; your career - your health; being entrepreneurial - playing it safe; freedom - settling down with some special. A parts conflict is often revealed through the words you use. These can be phrases such as "on the one hand," "I feel torn about this," or "a part of me agrees with you." Your behaviors may suggest different attitudes, and those attitudes may vary in different contexts. You may have one set of behaviors at work and a different set at home. Here's an important question you may ask yourself: If your co-workers and family members happen to be gathered together at the same place and the same time, which set of behaviors would you display - who would you choose to be? From the viewpoint of logical levels, parts - in conflict - may form at the following levels: 1) spiritual (your purpose in life), 2) identity (who you see yourself being), 3) beliefs/values (health or career), and 4) capabilities/strategies (skills or strategies to be a good parent or not, for example). The higher the logical level at which the parts form, the more pervasive the impact. Parts at the identity level will have their own supporting beliefs and values, as well as different capabilities and strategies and may act as different entities altogether. The notion of "parts" originated with the works of family therapist Virginia Satir and Gestalt therapy founder Fritz Perls. Some NLP practitioners argue that individuals should not have any parts. My personal view is that people can have parts, as long as the parts are working in a holistic sense. For example, it is nice to know that I have a creative part, a compassionate part, or one that is working on my safety or giving me new challenges. These parts express different aspects of my nature that I'm able to access when I need specific assistance. However, a problem may arise when two or more parts are in conflict and do not co-operate with each other. The visual squash is a NLP technique that was created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in the 1970s. Its purpose is to integrate conflicting parts. Since then, it has developed and evolved in a number of ways to include exploring the positive intention of each part by chunking up, negotiation between the parts, as well as reframing. This revised technique is often referred to as parts integration and is described in Live Your Dreams - Let Reality Catch Up: NLP and Common Sense for Coaches, Managers and You.

The above article is an extract from his book Live Your Dreams - Let Reality Catch Up: NLP and Common Sense for Coaches, Managers and You. ******* Accountants A man in a bar leans over to the man next to him and says, "Want to hear an accountant joke?" The man replies, "Well, before you tell that joke, you should know that I'm 6 feet tall, 200 pounds, and I'm an accountant. And the man sitting next to me is 6'2" tall, 225 pounds, and he's an accountant. Now, do you still want to tell that joke?" The first man says, "No, I don't want to have to explain it more than once." -- If an accountant's wife cannot sleep, what does she say? "Darling, could you tell me about your work." **************** For more information, please visit our website or contact us at 613 692-1424 or info@renewal.ca Copyright © 2005, Renewal Technologies Inc.
