How to eliminate negative thinking Eliminate Negative Thinking - Stop it in Its Tracks! You wake up in the morning and your back is sore, your neck is stiff, and you did not sleep well the night before. The first thought that runs through your mind is likely, "Lovely... it's going to be one of those days!" Then you can't find any clean clothes to wear that day that fit right, and you ask yourself, "What else could possibly go wrong today?"

August 2008
August marks an exciting month for us at Optimal. Taryn has just co-authored a book with Michele Wickham, hoping to broaden the horizons of Optimal Coaching and reach a wider audience.
We wanted to write Putting the pebbles in first because the issue of balance is vitally important but greatly misunderstood these days. Many writers have dealt with the theory behind finding balance and bringing more energy into your life, but our book is packed with practical exercises that real men and women can work with to make lasting changes in their lives.
It was an adventure for us to stay dedicated to a project of this size, and we learnt a lot about ourselves in the process. At times Taryn found writing more challenging than coaching, but together she and Michele found new ways to work as an effective team. We are proud of our achievement, but couldn’t have done it without the support of our families and friends.
The whole idea behind Putting the pebbles in first is to give our readers a workbook that can act as a catalyst for the change they want to see in their lives. In the book we cover many aspects of balance that are dealt with in our workshops, beginning with an analysis of “who you are” and linking that to “what you do”. Until your life goals and roles are aligned with your needs, values, talents and beliefs, you will never truly be as balanced or energised as you could be.
We believe Putting the pebbles in first will act as a roadmap and survival kit for those just beginning their journey of self-discovery. The book features an in-depth case study, lots of examples from our coaching experience, and several references to recommended further reading. We have also included some great takeaways such as a bookmark and a number of Wish Cards, all aimed at making the lessons of the book a daily reality.
You can expect to see Putting the pebbles in first on the shelves around mid-September, retailing for R180 including VAT. For those who pre-order their copy by the 15th of September, we’re offering a 10% discount – so make sure you get in line fast!
