Habit = Addiction?

Came across this article the other day... I'd be interested to hear what you think... are habits and addictions always the same thing?

Habit = Addiction?

By Jhalak Jerajani

The oxford dictionary defines habit as a settled or regular tendency or practice or alternatively an addiction to drugs. Ok that was what the books told us, but lets see what I understood of the word habit, Habit is word or tendency such that when I remove the starting letter from it (i.e. H), I still have a-bit, if I remove the next letter (i.e. A), I am still left with bit, when I remove the next letter from that, I am left with it, I still keeping having it, now in my desperate attempt I remove the next letter from that (i.e. I), I am still left with T, i.e. tea or coffee whatever you prefer.

Handling Change

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These people have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness and deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen"         Elizabeth Kubler Ross

Love Who You Are

'To love oneself is the beginning of a life long romance.'   Oscar Wilde

To love oneself is to be happy with who we are and how we are physically spiritually and mentally. Is to accept ourselves with our attributes and imperfections, is to feel worth of love, affection, forgiveness and all the good we would desire for the ones we love.

Loving oneself however, can at times be a very difficult thing to do, even more if our past experience includes abuse, rejection, neglect chronic illness and mental or physical disability.

Life Coaching

Coaching is best described as working in partnership with a client to motivate and contribute towards successful changes, overcome a present challenge, go through transitions in life, help to attain clarity or accelerate results. It looks at setting a goal that is S.M.A.R.T. and meaningful to the client, then putting in place strategies to help the client move towards the goal.

It also looks at change as a wonderful opportunity for growth and learning making it a positive and enjoyable experience. It’s a very dynamic process, focussing mainly in the present and the future.

NLP – Neuro-Linguistic Programming

NLP is a model of effective communication to create your desired reality. It looks at modelling the way of thinking and performance of others, who have excelled and continuously attained a successful outcome. It is seen by its co-founder John Grinder as being ‘an attitude and a methodology that leaves behind a trail of techniques’.

NLP has been around since early 1970s, is used often in business, sports, education, health and other areas of daily living to help people achieve their full potential.

NLP has some basic principles, presuppositions, conditions and techniques which are proven to be of great value. It is not always about doing but sometimes about being inquisitive, about seeing things in a different perspective and being aware of how you take information and communicate within your own map of the world.

In reality a lot of the problems we face are due to our own way of seeing life, or

Hypno-Psychotherapy

In hypnotherapy the use of language constitutes one of the most powerful tools in helping the person under hypnosis overcome a problem, unlike what some people believe hypnosis is not synonymous of sleep, in fact during hypnosis you are neither asleep nor fully awake but in a natural state of relaxation combined with a state of intense focus. When compared to sleep, hypnosis offers some marked differences despite some of the similarities.  During hypnosis for instance, it is possible to obtain  answers to questions during the hypnotic state which does not happen during sleep, also during hypnosis the individual pays attention to every word subconsciously even the ones that are softly whispered, while during sleep you will have to speak quite loud to get the individual’s attention.

Having said this, hypnosis can have some common points with sleep, in the sense that both often involve a state of deep relaxation (but not necessarily needed as a condition for hypnosis to happen e.g. stage hypnosis), both involve some physiological changes such as in breathing pattern, pulse, heart rate and facial expression.

Despite all the controversy on whether or not hypnotherapy is a therapy in its own right or
