****************** As some of you noticed, The Renewal Times was not published in June. Instead, we took time off for a vacation and finished writing a basic reference book on NLP. The book is scheduled for publication in September/October 2005. At this time, the text is being professionally edited and a cover for the book is being designed. Stay tuned!
****************** A lot of successful people are risk-takers. Unless you’re willing to do that … to have a go, fail miserably, and have another go, success won’t happen. Phillip Adams ************ Tea Can Have Beneficial Effects on Your Blood Pressure In a study, researchers assessed the effects of tea consumption on the risk of hypertension in people without a prior history of the disease. More than 1,500 men and women participated; approximately 600 of them were habitual tea drinkers, defined as those who drank at least a half-cup of tea per day for at least one year. Even in the presence of risk factors for hypertension, tea drinkers were nearly 50 percent less likely to develop hypertension than non-tea drinkers. Other ways to reduce your risk of high blood pressure include living an active lifestyle that includes regular exercise and eating a balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, low-fat dairy, fish, and poultry. Limiting alcohol intake and losing excess weight also can help reduce hypertension risk. The protective effect of habitual tea consumption on hypertension. Yang, Y. C., Lu, F. H., Wu, J. S., Wu, C. H., Chang, C. J. Archives of Internal Medicine 2004 July 164:1534-1540. -- Blueberries Are Good for You Not only are blueberries a good source of fiber, but they also are high in three antioxidants -- resveratrol, pterostilbene, and piceatannol -- that may fight cancer and help lower cholesterol. Additional evidence suggests that pterostilbene may lower triglycerides and protect against diabetes, too. Other important parts of cholesterol management include weight control, regular exercise, and a healthy diet that includes fiber and monounsaturated fats, such as olive oil or canola oil. Resveratrol, pterostilbene, and piceatannol in vaccinium berries. Rimando, A. M., Kalt, W., Magee, J. B., Dewey, J., Ballington, J.

In time, the dogs came to associate the sound of the bell with food and would salivate when they heard the bell even if no food was present. Here the stimulus is the bell and the response is salivating. In NLP, anchoring refers to a stimulus response, similar to the link that Pavlov established. The stimulus (anchor or trigger) may come from your external environment (someone touching your shoulder or seeing a red light) or be an internal representation. In either case, it triggers a conscious or unconscious internal response/feeling which may result in a behavioral response. We all have lots of different anchors. When I was a teenager, a friend and I spent a week together in Bermuda. While on the trip, I regularly used Coppertone suntan lotion. Many years later, when I smell this suntan lotion, no matter where I am or what I am doing, I immediately remember the good time that I had. This is an example of an external olfactory (smell) anchor that generates an internal response. The following are other examples of anchors, can you add to this list?
The Swish Pattern started with a cue picture (trigger) and linked this to a new self-image with certain behaviours. This is an example of changing an anchor by changing a response to an existing trigger. Anchors can be very useful and they can also be counterproductive. Most anchors operate outside of your conscious awareness and have an impact on your mental state or behaviour whether or not you are aware of them. Useful anchors are those that generate pleasant memories or put you into an empowered state (e.g. motivated or confident), or that result in a useful behaviour (red light, you stop the car). Examples of counterproductive anchors are:
These anchors if undesired can be changed or eliminated by various NLP techniques. And NLP is Much more than that!

"Why?" asked the Judge. "Because you've had it decorated since the last time I was here." -- Taking his seat in his chambers, the judge faced the opposing lawyers. "So," he said, "I have been presented with a bribe from both of you."Both lawyers squirmed uncomfortably. "You, attorney Leon, gave me $15,000. And you, attorney Campos, gave me $10,000." The judge reached into his pocket and pulled out a check. He handed it to Leon ... "Now then, I'm returning $5,000, and we're going to decide this case solely on its merits." **************** For more information, please visit our website or contact us at 613 692-1424 or info@renewal.ca Copyright © 2005, Renewal Technologies Inc.
