Trolling & Fly fishing

Trolling
ooo which ones do we need?

It's all about gang trolls, led lines, depth monitors, fish arches, nymphs, shrimp, dry flies, coloured lures, worms

The fly fishing looks pretty neat the way you swoosh it in the air a lot ..I couldn't do it!

Diabolo

I haven't got any pics yet as I was learning the Diablo and I could do that and take pics at the same time, hopefully my friend Sarah will have a decent one. I didn't get too far, just getting it spinning, tried to chuck it in the air and failed several times but am thinking of getting one of my own to practice with.

Here's my teacher doing some tricks





Camping

So I learned the 3 rules of Camping: Keep Warm, Eat Well and Sleep Well..and my own one... bring lots of marshmallows..they are awesome!


Star Gazing

I got this map and could actually work out where Cassiopeia and Cepheus were!

Origami

So I not only created some Origami animals which is much harder than you think but I released them out into the wild....Lighthouse Park

Steve and Babette joined in creating some and we found that Steve was really good at it in a weird rain man sort of way.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming

With the aid of Paul McKenna's Positivity session I have been trying to reprogram my mind and master my emotions, blocking negative behaviour or patterns.

You are supposed to change the tone of your internal voice to something more pleasant and move the sound away so when you criticise yourself in a more constructive way. Visualization is key. Change the picture and the sound and it will change the feeling

Here are some important quotes and mantras that are supposed to help you

If you keep doing what you have already done, you'll just get more of what you have already got

Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're probably right. Henry Ford

You always get more of what you focus on in life

You can never be on the outside how you think of yourself on the inside

what would you do if you knew you couldn't fail

for anything to happen in the real world, it first has to happen in the imaginary world

The mind is a powerful thing:
The Placebo Effect is one of the most common phenomena observed in medicine, but also a very mysterious one. It is powerful. In a study carried out at the University of Harvard, its effectiveness was tested in a wide range of disturbances, including pain, arterial hypertension and asthma. The result was impressive: 30 to 40% of the patients obtained relief with the use of placebo.


So I got through almost all of the cd's and i didn't feel that much more positive but I did get a pay rise so it might be working!?
