Where are we going, where am I going? My life is quite dull at the moment. Around me the world goes from one disaster to another, with very little in the way of fun to report in the news. My own personal life is depressing, although getting a part time job for Tesco's has been a boon.
The earthquake in Japan has affected me more than other disasters in recent times. I don't want to sound harsh - and I should really give a fuck about other peoples - but I have a soft spot for the Japanese; usually I couldn't care less about major disasters. Watching the power of the Tsunami destroying entire towns kind of brings things into perspective with my own life. I know that the Japanese will pick themselves up and rebuild. I need to stop moping and do so myself.

Spring is in the air.
Today I woke up a new man. I suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder; winter is a very tough time for me (so bad in fact, that only the other day, I contemplated ending it all). Today is a good day however, because there is an abundance of sun and my flat is south facing. Today I feel alive, and despite my problems, I am resolved to enjoy myself. So, I want to revisit the wonderful and magical world of NLP.
Have you ever heard of the expression "chin up": This usually happens when someone wants to point out you look miserable and wants to lift your mood. Well, there is some justification in this statement and you can try it for yourself.
Try to think of something bad while looking at the floor and notice how you feel. Do the same exercise but look up at the sky. The difference is amazing: Just by changing your physiology you can change your mood - now that is magic. I have known about Neuro Linguistic Programming for quite some time now. The hard thing for me is to put it into practice so it becomes a habit.
There are many techniques that are very helpful in NLP. Here is a short video of an NLP mood changing tool called the SWISH pattern (Derren Brown uses this a lot).
