   | Although I have never sat and read anything like this. I know for a fact that self belief is a very powerful tool! We have all seen it in one form or another. Even something as simple as, having a great workout, then buying some great new threads. Suddenly you step out your door and you're transformed. You walk in a club with your head up, checking the girlies out and they can sense how powerful you are feeling. Next thing you know, you're a thong magnet.  We've all had those nights when we are on top of the world. Isn't it funny how your c0cky mate always seems to land on his feet? Why is that? So if you read a book and have a more positive feeling, surely that can only bring good things? Of course, there is a limit! I don't for one second believe that I can build up enough self belief to leap a tall building in a single bound or turn water in to wine......... Then again, that does not mean I'm right! Maybe you can. But Ash..... No trying to stop a speeding bullet..... Not even on Deca LOL. :gun: Predator

I expect many people have heard the phrase "the map is not the territory" and that fits perfectly with the point you raise. In our minds we all have a 'map' which governs how we see ourselves and the world around us. This 'map' consists of beliefs which are unquestionably true ("I have brown hair", my name is "Jack" etc) and then there are those that aren't always true.. the learnt self-limiting beliefs ("I can't dance", "I'm not her type" etc) which, although we may believe them, serve no other purpose than to restrict us. When people are talking about the possibility of doing something listen for the word "but" .. what follows it is generally a limiting belief that they have about themselves, eg "I would invite her over for dinner but I cant cook" I know to read this on the page it seems obvious and simple, however if you really listen to people you will be amazed at the restricted way they view themselves and their ability to do things. People often make statements about themselves which simply aren't true and quite often peoples map of what they believe is totally different from the reality. Look at any online dating site at the number of females that list "tall, dark, handsome" as required criteria for a partner. In reality, attraction works on a completely different level, the truth is that people do not know what they want, they don't understand themselves so they try and define themselves into boxes. Sorry to take this off-topic. I hope you sell your book.  L

The RegimenX Diatia is still alive and well. Because of my involvement it was setup as i's own forum as we decided that it should be its own entity and UK-M needed to remain an unbiased board with no outside interests. Diatia 2 is almost ready for print, the RegimenX forum is still active and ChefX is still around helping all people that follow the program. L

| Unlimited Power-Anthony Robbins Have you read anything by Anthony Robbins Peg? I just started one of his books and realised that my preconceived notions, from his 'informercials etc.' were completely incorrect. I do find it funny that so many Americans, who live in the land of the of enterprise, find that intellectual property and ideas should not be sold and that there is something bad or wrong if someone sells what they know. There is no meaning in life, only what we give it, such as convictions, morals, ethics. YOU made those important. They do not exist in reality. Even right and wrong do not exist in reality. Right and wrong only exist as we gave them meaning. Baz, consider that you are brainwashed already and your brain needs to be clean(and not because you are FILTH, lol), that in fact you are living in 'the Matrix'. So if one person(who wants to help people?i.e chef x?) is seen as untrustworthy, and untrustworthy by YOUR interpretation, that means ALL people who claim or want to help people are untrustworthy? Hmm, I had a man be mean to me before, so I guess all men are mean then. Silly? Yes and the same logic that was in the chef x argument. From the aforementioned book-page 8 Your level of communication mastery in the external world will determine you levelof succes with others-personally, emotionally, socially and financially. More important, the level of success you experience internally, the happiness, joy, ecstasy, love, or anything you desire-is the direct result of how you communicate to yourself. How you feel is not the result of what is happening in your life-it is your interpretation of what is happening. Successful people's lives have shown us over and over again that the quality of our lives is determined not by what happens to us, but rather what we do about what happens. You are the one who decides how to feel and act based upon the ways you choose to perceive your life. Nothing has any meaning except the meaning we give it. Most of us have turned this process of interpretation on automatic, but we can take that power back and immediately change out experience of that world. Try that one on for a day, and choose to be happy, joyous, fulfilled, loving. Hey, if we are making it up might as well make it GOOD. And that is my interpretation of GOOD x x x T Last edited by Tatyana; 22-04-2006 at 12:49 AM. |

Living in the matrix? Are you back on weed again? Why cant we just be mere human beings who go to work and train and have fun, why do people have to constantly quote other peoples sayings and trying to be clever and make it out that life is so complex and wonderful? You are born , you live, your happy, your sad and then your dead end of, i hate all this superficial crap. Chef X was a bloke who went around a couple of sites telling and i stress telling, everyone he had it cracked, how to eat , train, diet and do gear, without being shut down or keeping it to a minimum. And for a mere £15 im guessing i cant remember how much it was you could buy his books, a lot of it was very similar to stuff the late great Dan Duchaine had written, i said this to him once and he told me he was a ghost writer for Duchaine, this may be the case, but im more inclined to think it may not. He was very persuasive in the way he put his stuff out, in fact one of his proteges left here in a fit of rage saying that we were all full of sh1t and that he was a diamond and this was nothing more than a drug board. Anyway times and people move on and i cant say i miss any of them.

| ripping in no, my input yes i think you may be a little sensitive / paranoid, i was meerly posting my opinion to a thread. To be perfectly honest, im also getting a bit tired of your whineing about me getting at you, its nothing like that and i dont know what you hope to achieve by constantly saying it, not unless you feel that if Paul, lorian or any of the mods will, feel for you and put me off the board. Im not going to stop posting because you want me too or feel that if you keep saying im picking on you, i,ll be made to.

| It's kind of weird when two people, both of whom you like and have great respect for, cannot seem to get on, in this case Taty and John??? Anyway, as for Anthony Robbins, I do feel we could all benefit from his approach, BUT...I think his books are usually bought by the type of people who actively seek out self-help. Which itself sounds a bit obvious, but the point is, tragically, that the people MOST in need are those who don't seek help, and thus will never read this book unless it happens to sit on the shelf in a doctor's waiting room. The other complaint that I have is that he's simply blowing up Maslow's scale to the Nth degree; our problems as common people can be distilled down to one thing - money, or lack thereof. You can add in a lack of sex/friends etc, but that again is usually solved by having a truckload of cash! Not saying that money is the ONLY solution, but more money is never a bad thing. Money won't make you taller, but it'll make your lack of height matter less. It's written that the love of money is the root of all evil, which I don't question, but I'm more apt to think that the LACK of money is the root of all problems. KS |

He states that if you want to be successful you need to be able to manage your states of being at will. You do this through NLP. You are what you think is probably a short synopsis of what Robbins proposes. According to NLP, you can use the power of the brain to change your internal state at will, and by changing your state, you change your reactions to external events. I think for me it is just a matter of saying, "This is the day that the Lord has made, I will be glad and rejoice in it." I will agree with him that it is a matter of the will. We make choices everyday. We can choose to be happy or we can choose to be sad. Then the question to me becomes what within us dictates happiness or sadness. I will disagree with Robbins on what that underpinning is. It is interesting reading, but I will agree with John that sometimes we make things too complicated. The man made his fortune on the need of people to be happy. How do you find happiness?
