Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is the study of excellence, and is about making your life a masterpiece.It enables us to understand and control the links between our mind, our behaviour and our success so that we can get what we want in life. Many of our behaviours, desires and beliefs are running unconciously, yet they still affect us. For example, why are you attracted to some people, yet not others? Why do you (if you're like most people) look forward to the weekend yet hate mondays? It's because of associations, the way you are "programmed". The wonderful thing about NLP, is that you can choose which "programs" your brain runs. So instead of getting scared or frustrated, you feel the way you choose to feel.
NLP improves the quality of your life because it allows you to change, adopt or eliminate behaviours at will, to be in charge of your motivation, to be able to communicate better, to be more persuasive, to get into rapport with anyone and have the self confidence, peace of mind and happiness you ve always wanted.
So NLP is about giving you new choices and resources and in essence therefore empowering you to be who you want to be, have what you want to have and do what you want to do.NLP is the study of subjective human experience and enables us to directly communicate to our Unconscious Mind, to change quickly and easily. Your Unconscious Mind is the part of you that beats your heart whilst you are asleep; it runs your body and is where all change actually occurs. When change happens, it is instant, everything else is preparation.
Have you ever tried to quit smoking? It was probably pretty hard, wasn t it? Or have you ever wanted to lose weight, but from across the room the cookies call you? Where did that urge to eat unhealthy foods come from? It was from an unconscious association you had between pleasure and eating that food. If you try and change consciously, it is extremely hard because you are fighting your urges, (or lack of motivation for example) through sheer will power.
There are many really excellent technologies available for achievement and accelerated change, though most of them simply help you find out what your problem is and how it affects you. NLP saves time because you do not need content to achieve and change quickly. For example, using NLP you can permanently clear a phobia in 10 minutes where as using traditional behavioural modification therapy often takes weeks (or years) because you are slowly taught how to cope with your fear until your Unconscious Mind realises you won t die if you are around what you were phobic about. To change and achieve results easily and quickly, you need to communicate directly to the Unconscious Mind and work WITH IT not against it. NLP is the step by step how to guide to do just that.Due to this fact, NLP does NOT require "content" to be effective. This means you don't have to talk about your problems for years and years.
Using NLP you simply change the process, context or "pattern". Like in windows (the computer operating system) if you uninstalled a program, the program would never run. You don't need to know how the program was designed, built and all it's specific details of code. NLP lets you add or delete "programs" or behaviours at will, without having to relive all the bad things you'd rather forget, and without having to understand the why behind your problem. A far better question is "How do I make my life the way I want it?" rather than "why do I have so many problems?"If you d like to remove your obstacles instead of battling for years through them, then NLP is for you.
