Claire and I have had fun over the last couple of weeks creating our very first podcasts 'Solutions for Health & Happiness'. They provide some interesting insights into the concepts behind the Lightning Process as well as getting you thinking about the way you operate in the world and provide some tips to put into action to help you achieve a life you love. The podcast will also be interesting if you are looking into taking the training or if you have already taken the training and want to keep engaged with it. Podcast 1 is now available on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/solutions-for-health-happiness/id647213675
Have a listen and leave us a comment - we'd love to hear from you. Transcriptions of the podcasts will also be available by signing up to our newsletter on our website: www.lightningprocess.co.uk
Have a fantastic week

Lightning Process Client from 2005
We started the week with a lovely email to the office which we thought we would share with you:
I just felt compelled to email to say thank you! I learnt the lightning process back in 2005.
I was running along the banks of the Thames this
afternoon and had a sudden thought how amazing it was that I was running and
enjoying pounding the pavements when life used to be so different. I don't
think about it much, and whilst that period of illness will always be part of
my life's journey actually it's a fairly dull, un-noteworthy part. The
following chapters are much more exciting!
I'm living a full, exciting dynamic life that I love and
is full of anticipation for the future. And that's all down to Phil teaching me
the Lightning process to kick start the more exciting chapters of my journey!
Thank you again Phil!

Dû a Happy New Year!
It's great to have a choice over how you feel and you can start this by looking at how you can use language in a very clever way with the use of the new verb 'dû'. Phil has created a website explaining how you can apply this clever little word to start providing you with new options in your life: http://duing.org/Home.html
On behalf of the Lightning Process Head Office team, we would like to wish everyone a very Happy and Healthy New Year.

Phil's Christmas tips!
Use this advice and dû a very Happy Christmas!
Festive stress
For most people Christmas stresses fall into one of two groups:
Other people
Overwhelmed
Other people
The stress around this can be enormous at Christmas time. One of the easiest things to deal with differently is those people who you find can easily upset or annoy you.
If someone is difficult to deal with (it’s not always the mother-in-law!) try these tips:
1) Stay calm. Take a deep breath in and remind yourself of something deeply relaxing - a beach holiday, a walk in the forest etc. The chances are they don’t really mean to upset you; so let it go. If they do mean to be mean, then they’re probably not having a great Christmas, so you can just feel sorry for them, and remember: is their opinion that important?
2) Funny fish head: Imagine every time they say something that usually upsets you, you imagine they have a large fish sitting on their head, and it’s just flapping around as they talk. Notice how that changes how seriously you take what they say.
Overwhelmed
This can take many forms, worrying about catering, shopping, present buying, Christmas cards, entertaining and so on. Often these take over so much that there's no fun to be had, no time to relax or to enjoy your friends and family. This can of course then lead to resentful arguments about how nobody helped.
There are some simple solutions:
1) Ask. If you want help ask for it. Now, it won’t always be given but so often people don’t even ask - expecting it will ‘be obvious’ to everyone that they should lend a hand. Make it easier this year by requesting some help.
2) Bite size pieces: If you yourself saying phrases like “there's TOO/SO much to do” then pause for a moment and do what the expert planners do. Ask "what’s the first tiny step?"
Planning the whole five course banquet, presents, and housekeeping for twelve people is likely to make your head spin, but discovering the first tiny step is ‘creating a good shopping list’ makes you feel you are working on the bigger project and that it is actually possible.
Above all realise that worrying about things rarely helps to make things better, so make sure you make the right things important this year, focus on having fun, kicking off your shoes and dancing with life this Christmas!

Choose Calm Today
Paul Wilson in his “Calm for Life” book says:
“When it comes to being calm, and feeling good about your work, your relationships and your life in general, you have choices. It may be difficult to accept this while you feel trapped in any particular work or health issue, but these choices do exist. It’s not always easy to see this, but you have the power to be happy or unhappy, to be tense or relaxed, to be contented or depressed, to be rich or poor, to be well.”
We believe you are more influential in your life and in your health here at LP Head Office and we are here to show you how to do it.
Why choose Calm?
Because from a state of calm and relaxation solutions and clarity can be found. From these states of mind positive outcomes are soon to follow! Taking time to relax is the key to your health, happiness and productivity.
Here is a quick way of choosing calm instead of stress right now:

Here is a quick way of choosing calm instead of stress right now:
- Stop what your doing
- Become aware of heart rate, breathing rate, fast movements
- Calm everything down by slowing down your movements and your breathing
- Relax your muscles
- Focus on something in the present moment; what do you see or hear? What’s the temperature like?
- Think about a person, place or memory that reminds you of calm
- Then go about your task feeling refreshed and ready
