Australians are often divided into the haves, and the have-nots.But they're not always talking about money.These days, it's often the haves (too much body fat), versus the have-nots (not overweight).We can't seem to make up our minds whether to eat at McDonald's, KFC, Pizza Hut, Krispy Kreme, Starbucks, and All-You-Can-Eat fast food restaurants, or whether to grab a protein snack, a freshly-squeezed fruit juice with wheatgrass and go straight to the gym.Women's Magazines have the same problem. A sample magazine from this month featured diet and exercise routines from three TV personalities and movie stars. Yet the back section of the magazine featured recipes such as luscious mocha fudge cake.The incidence of obesity in Australia rose dramatically in the 90s - 80% for women.

NLP, or Neuro Linguistic Programming, is a technique developed to asses emotions, by simply understanding the language we use to express them. By listening to how we structure sentences, rather than their general meaning, our true thoughts and feelings can be de-coded, understood and re-structured to cultivate positive emotions. The process has been applied to a wide number of problems from business practices to depression, but most often it is used to tackle stress. Stress causes many problems and impacts on relationships, personal and professional. The psychological and physical symptoms can include acne, shallow breathing, low immunity, poor digestion and toxic build ups in the body. It's no wonder its cure has become a holy grail. The NLP technique assesses reactions and perceptions to break down thought patterns. Once this is achieved, the patterns and the words we use to express them are re-programmed. This creates emotional stability, giving you the confidence to de-code and eliminate stress for good. Bustling with high flyers, the overworked and underpaid, it's little wonder NLP is so popular in London. NLP practitioners across the city are particularly aware of how stress...more
