At times we all experience negative thoughts, feel stressed with the living of everyday life and experience fears that can cripple us. Our problems have varying effects on our lives, ranging from a niggly annoyance to utmost devastation of our mind, body and souls. Some of us will experience episodes of panic attacks, anxiety and depression. Some of our needs are specific such as "I just want to lose weight"; "I want to quit smoking". Others want to deal with unexplained phobias, skin conditions and problems that manifest as physical problems in our bodies. Procrastination demotivation, low levels of confidence and poor self-esteem can make our lives miserable.
