Emotional Eaters and Dieters Eat More At Sad Movies

by Wendy Leave a Comment

If you are on a diet, or are an emotional eater - be warned! A recent study shows you'll eat a lot more popcorn when you watch a sad movie than when you watch a comedy. Researchers from the Cornell Food and Brand Lab actually did a dumpster dive analysis of the discarded mall movie popcorn in seven states during a Thanksgiving weekend. They found a more trashed popcorn buckets (ugh - must have been disgusting) from those that watched sad movies. When compared to the empty cartons ...

Looking At Stress Differently Can Prolong Your Life

by Wendy 6 Comments

Your thoughts about stress can prolong your life. Your thoughts are important, but what's more important is the way you respond to your thoughts. According to research from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the way your respond to your thoughts can contribute to how long you'll live. It's all downhill after forty. Catherine used to work in the same Philadelphia office as me. She was energetic, respected, and a good worker. One spring I noticed that her behavior had changed. She was coming ...

Positive Thinking and Scientific Research

by Wendy 10 Comments

I stumbled on a Huffington Post blog about positive thinking today. Like the blogger, I have strong opinions on the subject of positive thinking. I didn't realize how strong till I read: "The power of positive thinking movement has a stranglehold on American Society..." Come on... Stranglehold? Wow. That's pretty dramatic. The last I checked, no one is complaining about the positive thinking movement. Maybe except for those who don't get it. Before I share some of the prime quotes from ...

It's been three years since our coaching sessions and I wanted to let you know that I use a lot of what you taught me to this day. I visualize often and listen to affirmations daily. Last year I exceeded my sales goals and I just started my Masters. Being an entrepreneur is the next goal. I've really done my best to build on what you taught me and it's served me well.

"Unlike other self help books I found this one easy to read. Wendy's approach is so elegant and simple it was easy to envision myself as successful. I tried a couple of powerful personal statements and to my amazement they worked. Every morning and afternoon I've been saying “I like the idea that I can get control of these migraines”. It sounds strange but before practicing the my statements I was having daily migraines. It's now been ...

It is the perfect accompaniment for those providing healing practices as well as their clients to gain a fresh perspective in viewing life from a more positive, creative point of view.

Powerful Thinking on Purpose is unique and simple. After I finished the book I started using the techniques and I immediately noticed a drastic difference in how I feel. Powerful Thinking allows me to feel that what was once impossible is possible.

I loved your book! I have studied a lot about Law of Attraction and Neurolinguistic Programming, and have used affirmations before and taught others to do so. Your book brought up a good point: that if you don't believe the affirmation it has limited impact. I just love your add on of the five powerful words and I used them on an issue at work and got the support I wanted. I hope others read your ...

I recently had the honor and privilege of previewing Powerful Thinking on Purpose, by Wendy Merron. As an author who likewise champions positive thinking, I eagerly delved into the book and was wowed by Wendy’s approach. Why? Because Wendy skillfully took a complex topic and broke it down into an easily digestible format. What’s more, she introduces simple, yet profoundly powerful tools for working with our underlying belief systems so that our subconscious accepts—rather than ...

I just wanted to say that HONESTLY I LOVED YOUR BOOK. When I began to use one of the tools in your book I felt a "shift" or should I call it: THE TRUTH. I read your book in one sitting - I couldn't stop reading it! Honestly I think this could compare to Don't Sweat the Small Stuff book by Richard Carlson (if not better). It's short, sweet, and easy to read. I believe ...

If school taught us what Wendy does in this simple, direct and profound introduction to the power, choice and responsibility we each have for our own thoughts, we would not have had to learn anything else. We would have learned what the wise have always known, that we are creative every moment in how we choose to think and that our life, like a mirror, reflects what we create. In her 5 powerful words and ...
