Thought for the Day
******************

There is no heavier burden than a great potential.

         Charlie Brown

Health Notes

Eat an Orange Today

Oranges are known to protect against heart disease and high blood pressure, and they're full of cancer-fighting phytochemicals. But in parts of Asia, it's believed that overeating oranges is asking for health trouble, including diabetes. Just the opposite, say investigators. Turns out that people who eat at least an orange a day are less likely to have diabetes, not more.

Get Moving

Even if you're a late bloomer when it comes to exercise, don't let your couch-potato past stop you. Recent research found that sedentary women 65 and older who turned over a new leaf and got moving cut their chances of dying from cancer in half and from heart disease by a third.

Preference Assessment
*******************

Last month, I provided you with an automated version of the NLP Representational System Preference Assessment . This was in Excel 2007. As it turns out, many of you do not have a copy of Excel 2007. I am pleased to inform you that the assessment is now available in Excel 2003.

If you would like to receive a copy of the NLP preference assessment - does all of the calculations for you, please send an e-mail to me, Roger Ellerton at roger@renewal.ca. Please put 'NLP Preference Assessment' in the subject line. I will send you an electronic copy as soon as I can, however I do go on vacation from time to time, so there may be a slight delay.

The NLP Representational Systems Preference Assessment is an extract from my book Live Your Dreams Let Reality Catch Up: NLP and Common Sense for Coaches, Managers and You. Available from Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Chapters.indigo.ca, Amazon.co.uk, Barnes and Noble and other fine book retailers.
