Greetings to all,
I had more than usual favorable responses to last month's blog about persuasion. One asked was my material original or adapted from other sources. I would have to say that most of my material is adapted from other sources, using my own personal "take" on it. There is very little truly original material out there that hasn't been expressed in some place or time. The material for that blog came mostly from a recent book by Dr. Michael Hall about persuasion. IMPORTANT MENTAL CONCEPTS, REVIEW As those that read this blog know, I am a great believer in repetition. Hypnosis is primarily self-hypnosis and repetition is the best way to convince the subconscious to do what you want. Emotions (negative) are just a signal that where you are is not where you want to be. You have emotions, but you are not those emotions. You are much more than your emotions, your thoughts, behaviors, etc. One of the most troublesome problems that I see are patients that personalize their negative emotions – that is, they associate these emotions with self. This comes from the very common belief that emotions are an infallible source of reality and that if an emotion caused it, it must be real and the feeling acted upon. This is not true, for most of the negative emotions (feelings) are products of "what ifs" which are fabrications of the mind. Negative criticisms Many of the patients I see tend to take criticisms and judging too personally. They are usually sensitive to these because of diminished self-esteem. I tell them that words cannot hurt you (sometimes a tough sell). The truth often is the criticizers are generally responding to their own personal hurts and failures. Happiness A few comments on happiness. There is a very broad range for what one thinks represents happiness. However there is a tendency to dwell on short-term, fleeting occurrences and events that soon disappear, only to be replaced by similar events. The pursuit of happiness is not the same as being happy. Happiness is more about living a meaningful life. Ask yourself what and why you're going to do with your life. Does it have meaning? Happiness [and self-worth] is also frequently represented by one's possessions or standing or associations. Although some happiness can be created through possessions, etc., true happiness does not come from them, it comes more from a quality of the mind that purses positive thoughts and real meaning. It's not about what you have, where you are or what you're doing that makes you happy or unhappy it is how you think about it all. THOUGHTS FOR TODAY Life is made up through and with choices. If you choose to be miserable you will find reasons to be miserable. Too many people are skilled in making themselves miserable. Whether you say "I can" or" I can't", you are usually right. Worrying is a waste of time and energy. It changes nothing and focuses you on negatives. Do not let fear tell you who you are and what you must do. You don't have answers or respond to any negative emotion, thought or fear. Fear can only threaten, it cannot act. Anything that makes you negative owns you. Your own mind is scaring you, the feel is real, but the why is a lie. Choose can, will, wish and get to over must, ought, got to, can't and won't. As always, comments and questions appreciated. In the now, IBP Dear valued customer,
We at RLC Labs want to thank you for your patience as we completed some necessary infrastructure upgrades. These upgrades included moving to a larger facility, implementing new technology, and refining our processes. As many of you know by now, these upgrades unfortunately played a role in the backorder of Nature-Throid, WP Thyroid, and Westhroid. But, as many of you may have suspected, the upgrades were not the only factor in the backorder. In the last few years, we started experiencing some major hurdles in obtaining a key raw material. These hurdles disrupted our ability to not only keep up with the growing demand for our medications, but to also keep them cost-effective. We ate burgeoning costs for as long as we could and had minimal price increases compared to others, but the path was unsustainable. This information was kept under wraps for the protection of our patients. Quite frankly, we were afraid that if we spoke out about these issues, we would be cut off from our supply and left unable to produce any medication at all. We are happy to report, though, that we now have new partners and the materials needed to ensure fulfillment of all backorders and uninterrupted, ongoing full-scale production. Despite rumors, we ARE manufacturing and are NOT going out of business. We are working day and night to get back to our usual pace and expect to start shipping in the next two weeks. Strengths are being prioritized by highest demand, starting with Nature-Throid 1 grain, and medications will be released in all counts: 30s, 60s, 90s, 100s, and 1000s. We will be sharing more details as they become available, including production updates and shipping timeframes. We sincerely apologize for the strain this backorder has caused for our customers and patients and greatly value your continued support. Every effort is being made to get all strengths stocked as quickly as possible while still adhering to our strict quality standards – our medications are not released outside of +/-2% variance between T4 and T3, while the industry allows for a monograph discrepancy of +/-10%. Nature-Throid, WP Thyroid, Westhroid and our supplements, i-Throid and a-Drenal, are still proudly sourced and made in the U.S., unlike some others, and will still have the same low prices and high quality you have come to know and trust. i-Throid and a-Drenal are not impacted by the backorder and full stock of both are available. |
