Weave magic into your life with Neuro-linguistic programming

by

NLP (Neu­ro-lin­guis­tic pro­gram­ming) is like be­ing giv­en the man­u­al and high­way code of your brain. It has been called the soft­ware for the mind, and it's easy to see why. It is an at­ti­tude and a method­ol­o­gy, a set of tech­niques, which leads to ex­cel­lence and the study of ex­cel­lence, pro­vid­ing and en­abling you to weave mag­ic in all ar­eas of your life.

It is an ex­tra­or­di­nary and cut­ting-edge ap­proach to hu­man com­mu­ni­ca­tion and the de­vel­op­ment of ex­cel­lence. This re­mark­able set of tools is based on the amaz­ing dis­cov­ery that chang­ing how you think can change what you think; and in chang­ing how and what you think, you can dra­mat­i­cal­ly trans­form the re­sults you cre­ate in your life.

NLP can as­sist you to de­vel­op and main­tain a high lev­el of mo­ti­va­tion for achiev­ing your goals, and can help con­vert bar­ri­ers and ob­sta­cles in­to door­ways to suc­cess. It can al­so be used to learn the char­ac­ter­is­tics of top achiev­ers and to cre­ate a blue­print for un­lim­it­ed suc­cess. Through the sim­ple yet pro­found tech­niques that make NLP so pow­er­ful, you can elim­i­nate un­want­ed habits, trans­form neg­a­tive emo­tions in­to pos­i­tive feel­ings, im­prove the way you see your­self, en­hance your self-es­teem and be­come the per­son you want to be.

Every­thing you ex­pe­ri­ence is cre­at­ed twice– first in your mind and then in re­al­i­ty. The ex­pe­ri­ences you cre­ate are rep­re­sen­ta­tive of your in­ter­nal state, the way you think and the feel­ings that your thoughts gen­er­ate. When you have the tools to change your in­ter­nal state, you will find that your ex­ter­nal re­al­i­ty will change to match the new in­ter­nal state. It's pret­ty sim­ple, and quite as­tound­ing.

It has been proven in many fields such as busi­ness, re­la­tion­ships, sports, health & fit­ness to name but a few.It was found­ed in the '70s by a math­e­mati­cian, Richard Ban­dler, and a lin­guist, John Grinder, in San­ta Cruz, Cal­i­for­nia. They had wan­ton cu­rios­i­ty about how some peo­ple were able to have fan­tas­tic re­sults.They asked: "What is it that makes the dif­fer­ence be­tween some­body who is mere­ly com­pe­tent at any giv­en skill, and some­body who ex­cels at the same skill?"

So they mod­elled three ex­perts: Fritz Perls, Vir­ginia Satir and Mil­ton Er­ick­son, each pi­o­neers and ex­perts in their fields. They stud­ied their phys­i­ol­o­gy, their thought process and the struc­ture of the lan­guage they used. NLP was un­cov­ered, with the Meta Mod­el and the Mil­ton Mod­el and oth­er trans­for­ma­tion­al skills and tech­niques.

When taught to oth­ers, they were as­ton­ished by the re­sults. Stu­dents were achiev­ing the same re­sults much, much quick­er. There was no need to study for years, this was bet­ter and evo­lu­tion­ary.

Why is it called Neu­ro-lin­guis­tic pro­gram­ming?

Neu­ro: How we or­gan­ise our thoughts through our sens­es: vi­su­al, au­di­to­ry, ki­naes­thet­ic, ol­fac­to­ry and gus­ta­to­ry.

Lin­guis­tic: The lan­guage we use to com­mu­ni­cate with our­selves and oth­ers.

Pro­gram­ming: The way we or­gan­ise our ideas and ac­tions to pro­duce re­sults.

Despite finding out just three days earlier—on December 23—that I had breast cancer, I still got dressed and showed up on December 26, Boxing Day, for a birthday party. I didn’t go to escape the truth. I went to remind myself I was still here, still living, still me.
