Second Salsa Lesson

In many ways I was more nervous before our second Salsa lesson than the first:

• I now knew what was expected of me
• I hadn't practised as much as I would have liked
• Would I remember the steps
• Was it just first time lucky

Again I used EFT for all the above and enhanced my performance by visualisation techniques, mixed with EFT.  

It will come as no surprise to learn, that all my anxiety was unfounded. It all went very smoothly and although I couldn't remember some of the steps, I had no anxiety about this at all. I enjoyed the lesson just as much as the first and I'm now hooked. So for the next six weeks all my Sunday nights are booked, although I'm not sure how far or long this will go. But hey! It's new - It's fresh - It's exciting. Whats more it's good exercise and the locals are friendly.

The back of my mind says it's time to get back into some spiritual work though! Food for thought.

Try something new !

Last Sunday evening I was cajoled into starting 'Salsa' classes at our local indoor bowls club. Now I love dancing but I'm no John Travolta - I can hold my own after a couple of beers - I think!
However when it comes to dancing in some sort of order, I usually make an excuse to prop up the bar. I have five left feet and four right, so you can imagine the conversation between my partner Shirley and I last Sunday morning.
I must also inform you of the fact that I abhor walking into a room full of strangers, let alone have dance lessons. Sometimes though you just have to grab the bull by the horns and go for it! So I put on my best bib and tucker and after several rounds of tapping with EFT, we set off.
Well I was astounded, the people there were very warm and friendly and I not only found it easy to learn - I bloody well enjoyed it.
YES I enjoyed it - So much so that as I write this - Shirley is getting ready for our second session. I can only say "Try something new at every opportunity, with as much variation as possible."
And you know what? Every person in that dance class last week was on their sixth lesson - I was under the misapprehension it was the first for all of us.

So dancing shoes on - I'll let you know how it went tomorrow

Wood for the trees

Your business and personal performance

Eric was a lovely man he worked hard everyday of his life. One week’s holiday a year was enough for him; his round of golf on a Sunday morning gave him all the exercise he needed. He didn’t smoke and only had the occasional tipple, the staff canteen kept him alive, the pie and mushy peas were his favourite. OK he was a few pounds over weight but that was to be expected, he was tied to his desk all day. His wife often tried to get him to take a break but Eric always said. ‘I don’t have the time.’ ‘They need me hear.’ ‘I can’t really trust anyone to take over.’

‘Yes! But you need to relax Eric.’ said his wife Mary. ‘Relax.’ Said Eric, ‘I am bloody relaxed, I’ve got the Vat man coming on Monday, half the staff are off sick -  the kids want to go to university; the sales figures are down the pan and all you can think of is holidays and bloody relaxation.

 ‘Relax! - I’m off to the office! I can relax there and don’t send that personal bloody performance coach around again. What a geek he is, tap away stress, bloody idiot, he wants to try running his own business, see if his tapping does him any good then.’

Eric walked out slamming the door behind him.

The hospital; later told Mary, Eric had suffered a massive heart attack and there was nothing they could do to save him. ‘I can’t understand it,’ said Mary. He always kept himself fairly fit, ok he worked hard but he never suffered from any kind of stress.’

Eric died leaving the factory to his son David who immediately sold it for a small fortune. He and his mother Mary now live in Spain and enjoy life to the full - they have a toast to Eric every day just before going to the beach.

Had Eric had the benefit of EFT and a Personal Performance Coach, he may have still been alive and in Spain too.

It takes about 8 seconds to tap! Why take the strain? Call me Baz Chessman if you or any of your friends & colleagues need a hand.

Dance like no one watching

Dance Like No One's Watching 
By : Author Unknown 

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then, we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. 

We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire. The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? 

Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred D Souza. He said, "For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - REAL LIFE. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid.Then, life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life." 

This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. 

So, treasure every moment that you have. And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with... and remember that time waits for no one. Stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you have have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter, until you are off welfare, until the first or fifteenth, until your song comes on, until you've had a drink, until you've sobered up, until you die -- to decide that there 

is no better time than right now to be happy. 

Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

1second can change so many lives

A bloody cat got it's own back on the dog across the road this morning as the dog ran foaming at the mouth straight under my van!
Three grown men in tears - 1 dead dog and the cat purring on the footpath unaware the trauma it had just caused. (Well not really but Im a dog lover you see)
I wouldn't have believed you could kill a large dog stone dead at 15-20 mph but I had. The owner was there and witnessed the whole thing - He said it wasn't my fault but it didn't make me feel any better.
I kept playing the scenario through my mind - Could I have done something? - Was it my fault? - What if it had been a child? However I knew in my heart it wasnt my fault I was doing 15-20mph in a 30 zone. It was just a tragic accident and a beloved pets over excitement. Yes the man should have had the dog on a leash. He knew that and it would have done no one any good to have told him.
I said sorry it was all I could say, I drove around the corner and pulled over still shaking. I telephoned my partner Shirley and started to deal with the remaining guilt & emotion.
Yes I still have the memory and I'm not having the nice relaxing day I'd planned but my emotions are intact and I don't feel guilty anymore.
Even I need EFT in an emergency do you?

Never give up

Sometimes we all get a little despondent with our lot and if were not careful we can soon become  a little maudlin. Well I give you a solution! The next time your feeling down in the dumps and a little bit sorry for yourself.
Go on to the world wide web and put in the search engine wounded British soldiers, I promise you, you will not feel sorry for yourself for long. These brave young lads are putting their lives on the line for us - Yes you and me. Many if lucky enough survive only to become invalids, suffering the most atrocious injuries. However from the clips I've seen, they keep their brave fighting spirit and overcome adversity. Physically anyhow it seems.
The more I watch their stories however, the I more I become aware of an underlying trend. One of emotional trauma, both in themselves and their loved ones. I want to reach out to these brave people and help them with EFT.
If you get the chance help me spread the word, that EFT can help with all kinds of trauma and I'm only a call away.

Garden Therapy

Every now and again I get a chance to do some work in the garden - It's hard back breaking work but it makes me feel on top of the world. I don't know if we always appreciate how great it is to live in the UK. OK I know we are going through some tough times especially anyone wanting to travel by air or anyone unlucky enough to be out of work.

However if you can make an effort to find the good things that surround us you will feel better on the inside and it's amazing how that attracts good things on the outside. Easy for me to say, I've got a full time job but please try it. Look at the everyday things that surround us, take a walk in the park or visit the sea side. Go to the library or visit a museum. There is always some thing you can do for free.

Getting back to basics in the garden gives me the inspiration to go forward with my ideas and dreams regarding work and future. I look at things differently and let go of any negative feelings, just listening to the sound of the many and varied birdsong around me. Makes me want to scream I'm alive and kicking and what's more I'm bloody well enjoying it.

So if you get chance this week, do something different and enjoy yourself.

Regards Barry

What does EFT mean for me

As I wrote this article - ‘Old voices came back to haunt me.’ I stopped and ‘tapped’ on the emotion I was feeling. I was taken aback I thought I’d dealt with these memories a long time ago (After all I’ve been an Emotional Freedom Technique Practitioner since 1997)


My secondary school headmaster, “Chessman you’re lazy & useless, you will never amount to anything, you’ll end up in the gutter just like your father. I want you out of my school now – for good!”

Mr Holroyd the art teacher, “Chessman, you may as well go and join the woodwork class - You’ll never make an artist as long as you live.” Thanks to this man; I didn’t take up art until 1995 when I met Shirley Ann my partner. My first painting hangs over the fireplace in our room, I’ve since taken a foundation course to go on and do a degree in art.

These two voices take me back over 30 years, you may think them trivial, indeed - in relation to some of your sufferings they are. However along with many other negative experiences, they shaped my life. For years I’d had flashbacks & nightmares about these two men, as well as one teacher who threw a cricket ball in my face. My sin was watching two very pretty girls walk by - instead of paying attention.

I relate these issues to emphasise the profound effect our words and actions have on other people. How do you talk to those around you?

In 1997 my life changed immeasurably; Shirley and I went on ‘The cruise of a lifetime,’ with daily workshops available onboard ship. On our third day, we attended a workshop entitled ‘An Introduction to EFT – Emotional Freedom Techniques.’ We arrived to the sight of around sixty people tapping with their fingertips on various points around their head & upper body. I froze at the door, “I’m not going in there, their all barmy!” I whispered. “Oh! Come on – you may just enjoy it?” said Shirley. So! In we went. We were late (My fault) so all the seats were taken apart from some at the front. “Come in - don’t be shy – were all friends here,” said Christine Hardesty from the UK - the workshop presenter. (To whom I owe a debt of enormous gratitude)

I hated meeting strangers or walking into rooms full of people – let alone sitting at the front. My heart was pounding - my hands were clammy, I very nearly walked out. I was sceptical to say the least. Christine must have noticed because she said, “I realise some of you may be feeling apprehensive and sceptical and that’s ok – may I start by asking you all to pick up the sheet of paper in front of you. Please write on it a word or phrase that describes exactly how you are feeling at this moment. Please be specific and also record how intense this feeling is on a scale of 0-10.”
(Ten being the most intense)

I wrote down ‘PANIC – Level 20.’

Christine then asked us to fold up the paper and put it to one side.
She asked for a volunteer to stand out front with her, explaining the EFT procedure as she went along. Meanwhile the rest of us tapped along, saying exactly what they said. After a couple of rounds of tapping she asked us to take out our piece of paper and assess our intensity level now, with whatever we’d written on the paper. I wrote down 4, I felt a little uneasy but nothing like I had earlier. The panic had gone from an intensity level of 20 down to a 4. ‘How the hell did that work?’

Christine explained what EFT is and how it works – also that we had just experienced ‘EFT - Borrowing Benefits.’ ‘Borrowing Benefits,’ is an EFT procedure allowing the whole audience to tap along with one person but gain the benefit for there own issues. I thought, ‘this is mind blowing.’ It means, anyone can sit in an EFT workshop and eradicate their own issues without anyone ever knowing why they’re there. The potential was enormous.

The real ‘Bombshell’ was to come – We did lots of tapping for various issues, using the same method. We were then asked if we had any strange feelings, tension, or headaches? I had this dull ache in the middle of my chest, something that had always been there but I didn’t know why. Once again we wrote on a piece of paper, I wrote ‘Dull – Ache in my chest.’ I recall tapping along with all these strangers when tears started rolling down my face. Avril a helper took me to one side asking, “If she could work on a one to one basis with me.” “Yes please! – I feel so stupid – a grown man crying like a baby – I feel so embarrassed.” You can guess what we tapped on next – feeling stupid – men don’t cry – being embarrassed. We then went back to the ‘Dull ache in my chest,

We tapped on ‘Even though I have this dull ache in my chest and it may be linked to some other trauma – I deeply and completely accept myself and any part I may have played in causing it.’ I gave a deep sigh and felt as if the dull ache had changed somehow – It seemed lighter. We did another round of EFT – ‘Even though I still have some of this lighter feeling in my chest – I deeply and completely accept myself and any part I may have played in causing it.’

THE BOMBSHELL

Suddenly I said, “It wasn’t my fault – It wasn’t my fault, there was nothing I could have done.” “What wasn’t your fault - What do you mean there was nothing you could have done?”
“Maurice,” I said. “My twin brother - he died when we were six weeks old. We both had pneumonia.” We tapped on – guilt – grief – loss – surviving - not being able to do what other twins do, and a host of other issues. I suddenly felt as if a ton weight had been lifted from my shoulders – the feeling was euphoric! I couldn’t believe I’d been carrying this around for nearly 40 years. I knew at that moment I had to learn this wonderful technique. Since that day the feeling in my chest has gone, I’m a much calmer person and I’ve learned to like myself.

I didn’t realise at the time but I’d been suffering from PTSD (Post traumatic Stress Disorder) since the death of my brother.

PTSD is complex, each case being unique. It can occur immediately after a traumatic event or some time later, sometimes years. Sometimes we’re not be aware of it - at other times it’s debilitating. In the first ‘World War’ hundreds of innocent soldiers were shot for coward-ace, we now know most of them had ‘Shell-shock’ or as it is now known PTSD.

However! PTSD is the end result – NOT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM! The true cause is a ‘disruption in the body’s energy meridians’ these disruptions happen after a traumatic experience. These disruptions result in physical or emotional issues sometime in your life. EFT restores the balance in your meridians – (Akin to replacing a fuse in an electrical circuit.) This in turn results in the relief of your illness whether physical or emotional.*

The real secret to successful EFT is an intuitive practitioner who empathises with the client. I’ve spent the last 13 years perfecting my use of EFT so I can take it to the world – I’ve changed career & helped hundreds of clients, family & friends to eradicate physical & emotional trauma.

My passion is to have EFT available to all on the frontline

*(Please note: A traumatic event to one person may not be to another – therefore more than one person can experience the same traumatic event – but only one may develop a problem.)

P.S. This quote by Eric Robins, MD captures the essence of EFT:

"Some day the medical profession will wake up and realize that unresolved emotional issues are the main cause of 85% of all illnesses. When they do, EFT will be one of their primary healing tools .... as it is for me."

- Eric Robins, MD -

Internet revolution

Did you know that approx 1.7 billion people use the internet on a daily basis, imagine selling them all something for a penny? In the UK alone 10 million of us don't use the internet, know nothing about it or don't have access. I've been using the web for 10 years or so and I can't believe there are so many people who are unaware of it's versitility. My partners sons were very familiar with computers at an early age, it was second nature to them. I new nothing about computers or the internet, I was 45 and felt very awkward when they discussed terms I didn't understand - Wi Fi - Google - Email - Gigabytes and so on.

It was the embarassment ( The feeling of incompetence ) that gave me the urge to learn more. 'I'll show the little buggers' said I. Little -  LOL.They were over 20 years old. I decided to enroll at a local night school on a basic 'Learn to use a PC' coarse - I've never looked back. I can now design websites, send emails and search the world wide web. In fact the first thing I do when I arrive home from work is turn on my PC.

I've a brother who lives in Canada whom I can speak to on a daily basis by web cam, it's amazing! If you know someone who is apprehensive about computers or the world wide web please encourage them to learn -  it's not as frightening as they may think.

One of the most beneficial aspects of the internet has got to be keeping in touch with friends and family. Just imagine how many of our old folk sit night after night, lonely, afraid or bored. How good would it be for all of us to be able to keep in touch with them by web cam? My father has Dementia, so he wouldn't be able to use a computer at all. However I'm considering bying one to put in his flat so I can make sure he's ok on a night time when he's on his own.

Yes I think the invention of the internet is one of the most important steps forward in history. I wonder where it will end - I'd love to come back in a hundred years and take a peek!

Bye for now.

!st March - Spring is in the air!

Well! What a glorious day we've had today in East Riding of Yorkshire, I hope the 1st of March herald's the start of Spring. I work outside all day and I love it, but I have to say even I've had enough frost & snow to last me for a while.

I'm often asked which season I prefer and in all honesty I enjoy them all, Spring brings new life to our countryside & gardens. Summer has balmy warm days when the Sun makes us feel alive and refreshed. Autumn has a vivid array of colours and reminds us its time to stock up on Winter fuel. Winter then backs up the year and although it has some miserable cold wet days the scenery is still astounding with beautiful snow cast hills.

Until I started to write this piece I really believed Autumn was my favorite season. But no! I like them all. I also believe we are priviliged in the UK to have such diversity around us, most people walk bye and never notice what's around them. Where else in the world can you find such a vast amount of plant and animal life?

So! I hope this is the start of Spring - time to plant and grow - Time to put plans into operation - It will be Winter before we can blink.

Pass this on to a few of your friends. See if you can get them to look at the good in this country instead of the bad. I'm trying to have my glass half full and you know what I feel lots better for it!

Until next time bfn

Man or a mouse

I care passionately about people - I want to help the world - I cry at lassie - Am I a man or a mouse? Seeing cruelty to people or animals upsets me for days - War - murder - rape - Injustice! Sometimes i hate this world, I want to love and protect every one - I know that's not possible I'm not powerful enough to do that!

These are some of the things that go through my mind on a regular day - For years I kept my feelings hidden - I covered them in anger and pushed the world aside. I hurt the ones I love because I was scared to lose them - not physically but maybe emotionally. I've pretended for years to be something I'm not - I lived behind the mask of a hard faced man who could handle anything - LOL

Who was I trying to kid - I'm as soft as putty - I couldn't fight my way out of a paper bag

Guess what? I got so engrossed in this blog I forgot about the pan I'd put on the stove in the kitchen (Luckily on a low power) The pan is now black and I'm late cooking tea for Shirley Ann my partner who is working today -Sunday) It was Shirley who first introduced me to an EFT workshop back in 1997. That day changed my life.

I still want to help the world but I do it in a much nicer, calmer way, I also tap on all the things above every day. Believe me the power of EFT is unbelievable - try it yourself but don't look for short term improvements. (I'm not saying that there are not very fast results because there are. I've had clients recover from an issue so fast they didn't believe they'd ever had it.) How ever I want you to call this 'MY PERSONAL PLAN FOR A HAPPIER LIFE'

Make yourself a tapping list of the most important feelings or emotions you have - Good and bad - don't hold back you already know all you need to know about yourself. As you use the EFT procedure you will remember more - your subconcious mind will bring them back to you.

Your subconcious mind knows whats good for you - trust it!

Control your emotions and play better sport

If sports people learned how to control their emotions and channel them into positive behavour - they would have the upper hand nine times out of ten. They would win more games and stay on the field of play longer. It's big money - When a premiership footballer is red carded and misses the next couple of games it costs him and his club a small fortune. How many times do you see this happen? After all the training, practise and positive coaching they snap and end up with their head in their hands.
There is no way this needs to happen - If the're taught to use EFT

I help sports people to control their emotions and remain focused under pressure - I use EFT - relaxation and visualisation techniques.


It takes 7 seconds to tap with EFT - 7 seconds to stay on the pitch and remain in control. Why would anyone not want to do it? I have short cut techniques that people can use in front of their team mates - before taking a penalty - after being fouled - before and during a game.


It takes 7 seconds to remain calm - 7 seconds to focus - 7 seconds to win

Remember 7 seconds to tap and remain calm in any situation - Tap on everything I do
Bye for now and have a great weekend

Relaxation

Relaxation or meditation is one of the most important aspects of my personal life, it keeps me balanced, refreshed and clear minded. When I first meditated around twenty years ago, I just couldn't get the hang of visualisation or relaxatoin. I was more like a coiled spring waiting to move on to the next thing in my life. It was about six months before I fully fully relaxed and appreciated the value of it.

Shirley Ann my partner introduced me to relaxation and she has a barrow load of patience believe me, I was not an easy student to have. However her patience paid off and I'm eternally grateful to her. So my reasons for using meditation are of a selfish nature, I want to enhance my life.

In fact, I now describe Meditation & relaxation as visual relaxation because many people get confused with the Buddist version of meditation. I tried the Buddist way and very nice people they are but it was not for me, their version of meditation is more rigid in the fact that you're supposed to concentrate on one point rather than letting your mind wander as I do.

I go through a relaxation technique and then visualise a nice image such as a forest walk or a walk on the beach, somewhere that I feel safe. I then imagine taking a seat in that image and before you know it I've either fallen asleep or enjoyed a vision in my minds eye. Usually this vision is in colour, vivid and clear. It seems very real and I awake refreshed and ready for what is in store that day.

If I have a problem or I'm starting something new or need reassurance, I imagine asking the question in my head while I'm relaxed in this wonderful state. The best way I can describe this state of relaxation is to say it feels just as if I'm in a nice warm bath, cosy, safe and warm. Usually when I awake or bring my attention back to the room I'm in, I may or may not have an answer to my problem but I always feel I can face what ever I have to do in a calm, controlled manner.

Visual relaxation is the key to running a balanced lifestyle, reducing stress and ill health and using vision to see the pitfalls that lie ahead at work, sport or play.

If you have an interest in learning to relax contact us through our website @ http://www.barrychessman.com/


PS: If you think you cannot visualise or imagine anything try closing your eyes and imagine your own front door. Can you see it? What colour is it? Where is the letter box?
If you can see in your minds eye ant of these things you can go on to enjoy the sheer joy of visual relaxation classes.
Bye for now and keep warm it's cold today. (Well apart from Shirley & my mate Steve who are never cold - bless em!)

Holidays

Isn't it amazing how fast time geos by - I've just had four days off work to get some stuff done at home and although I've got some of it done, I'm rushing around trying to finish it all before Monday when I'm back at work. I'm sure as we all get older time goes faster - Or is it that we suddenly realise our own mortality and want to acheive our goals because the clock is ticking.

God I'd love to able to do it all again - Learn by my mistakes - change my pathway. But wait! I wouldn't be who I am would I? I wouldn't have the great friends I've met along the way - I may not have had two great kids and grandchildren. I maybe wouldn't have met my partner and soon to be wife who I love so much.

Shirley has enriched my life so much in the last 15 years and I wouldn't change that for the world. No I think I'll accept what I have and enjoy it. I consider myself a very, very lucky man to have achieved what I have and have the family and friends I hold so dear.

I feel all warm inside now - I hope I've made you feel a little warmer as well.

Until next time love & light to you all

Friday's are precious!

Ever since I started work as a young 15 year old, Fridays have been special:

• It's pay day
• It's the end of the week
• It's the beginning of the weekend
• Friday is my obligatory night out
• Relax have much beer and meet new friends
• Lay in bed on Saturday morning - Hung over!
• Stay up late and watch telly - Oh it's Monday - What happened to the weekend?

Fast forward 40 years:

• I get paid by the month - direct debit
• I'm tired after a hard weeks work
• The grass needs cutting - Bedroom needs painting - The Garage needs cleaning and on and on!
• It's too cold to go out
• My friends are all in bed
• I have to be up early in the morning
• I'll be in bed by 11pm - Oh it's Monday - What happened to the weekend?

I always had a dream that by 50 I would employ a gardener/decorator/house keeper and do nothing. Which reminds me of a rich man driving through South Africa in his Rolls Royce. As he rounds a corner he spots a man sitting in the shade of an old tree chewing a piece of grass. "Hey," he shouts. "You wanna get off your lazy arse and get a job, earn sum money and become rich like me." "Then you can drive around and do what ya like." The man takes the grass out of his mouth and says "I'm doing it man - I'm doing it!" and goes back to chewing his grass.

My point really is: What ever you do - do what you most enjoy. What ever gives you the greatest pleasure because from 15 to 50 has gone by in a flash. I've spent most of the time chasing dreams instead of enjoying what I have. That has sadly caused me a lot of heartache - from now on I'm going to enjoy the nice things in life!

See ya soon

Driving

I used to look forward to driving, I found it relaxing. I did a lot of thinking while driving and I could put my music on as loud as I wanted. The only thing I offended was the broken speakers every few months, well maybe not broken but certainly warped. The scenery was interesting and you could put your foot down within reason on relatively quiet roads.

Not anymore, 40 MPH restrictions, 40 MPH lorries, 20 MPH white knuckled drivers who should have given up and used public transport long ago. Oh and foriegn drivers who should never be allowed off the ferry, not to mention the army of school runs who have a hair appointment on their way home and God help you if you hinder them.

Which idiot decided lorries should only be allowed to do 40 MPH and speed restrictions save lives. Absolute rubbish! Every day thousands of drivers become frustrated at being stuck for miles behind a fleet of slow moving lorries. Oh and the odd farm idiots driving tractors at 10 MPH, oblivious to all behind them. (When I was farming I was told - If more than 6 vehicles were behind I should pull off and let them pass.) Now it's lets see how many peoples days I can screw up.

I work 23 miles from home - There are 14 speed restrictions on the 23 mile stretch, It used to take me 20 minutes to get to work now it's 1 hour 20 minutes if I'm lucky. The do gooders who have put restrictions on otherwise careful drivers will tell you that statistics prove they are correct. However I know someone who is a statistition and they will tell you, you can make statistics look as you want.

All that happens is people get frustrated and overtake in dangerous places, boy racers drive at night when the speed van has gone home and the only people who get speeding fines are commuters going to and from work. (Another government tax)

No Sir! Driving is no longer a pleasure - mobile phones have been banned rightly or wrongly. Yet I beg the question - How many people have been killed or seriously injured because they were more concerned with concentrating on their speedometer than on the road?

Ah well! Thats got that off my chest and it will probably change nothing - but I feel a lot better and I'm off to tap on all the above. Oh sorry by tapping I mean EFT Emotional Freedom Technique

Emotions

If I said you could knock 4/5 strokes off of your golf score by learning to control your emotions - Would you be interested?
