Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) - What is NLP?

What Is NLP?

NLP is about learning how to improve your own life by taking control of your thoughts, feelings and actions. And then by making sure that they are more in alignment with thoughts, feelings and behaviours that will attract to you the success and results that you want. This will allow you to create a much better future and more rewarding life for yourself.

Let’s make this simpler with an example.

Have you ever tried to communicate with someone who didn’t speak your language, and they couldn’t understand you? The classic example of this is when someone goes out to a restaurant in a Foreign country and they think they ordered steak, but when the food shows up, it turns out they actually asked for liver stew.

This is the kind of relationship that most of us have with our own unconscious mind. We might think we are “ordering up” more money, a happy, healthy relationship, peace with our family members, and being able to stick to a healthy diet…but unless that’s what showing up, then something is probably getting lost in translation.

In NLP, we have a saying: the conscious mind is the goal setter, and the unconscious mind is the goal getter. Your unconscious mind is not out to get you–rather, it’s out TO GET FOR YOU whatever you want in life. However, if you don’t know how to communicate what you want properly, it will keep bringing steaming bowls of liver stew out of the kitchen.

In fact, go ahead right now and think of, if there was one thing you could change, one habit you could break, what would it be?

Would you remain calm during work presentations?
Quit procrastinating and spending so much time on Facebook?
Not devour a whole bag of potato chips or tub of ice cream in one sitting?
Whatever it is, realize that your unconscious mind only does that because it thinks that’s what you want. (“Sir, here is your procrastination along with a side of anxiety. I’ve also told the valet to bring up your emotional baggage as per your request. Will you be needing anything else?”)

Neuro-Linguistic Programming is like a user’s manual for the brain, and taking an NLP training is like learning how to become fluent in the language of your mind so that the ever-so-helpful “server” that is your unconscious will finally understand what you actually want out of life.

NLP is the study of excellent communication–both with yourself, and with others. It was developed by modeling excellent communicators and therapists who got results with their clients. NLP is a set of tools and techniques, but it is so much more than that. It is an attitude and a methodology of knowing how to achieve your goals and get results.

Here at NLP.com, presented by The Empowerment Partnership, our mission, put simply is to empower the planet. How does teaching NLP help us do that?

That is what NLP is.

What You Should Know About NLP

Neuro linguistic programming or NLP which was first developed in the 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, is about creating a desired change or improvement in ones life as a result of using specific methods and techniques that have been scientifically proven to be effective at helping a person to re-program the way they think, feel and act.

It is a solution focused, action orientated systematic approach towards problem solving and goal achievement. It centers on identifying your current thoughts, feelings, beliefs and actions as compared to those of someone who has reached the level of achievement that you would like to reach. And then applying specific techniques that will allow you to duplicate their level of success.

How To Use NLP

This is a very easy process which can be done using the following steps:

• Step 1.) Identify the problem area that you would like to make improvements in, this could be any area of your life, such as business, finances, health,etc...
• Step 2.) Learn and apply the appropriate NLP technique to help you bring about your desired change or improvement.
• Step 3.) Repeat the technique as often as needed until the new behavior becomes an automatic, subconscious habit that you can now do easily and effortlessly.

Here is an example of how this might work.

If you are a business owner working 10-12 hours per day 6-7 days a week but not making any progress with your business, by learning and applying specific NLP techniques you could learn what it is that other successful business owners are doing, (which will include how they think, feel and act) and then start getting the same kind of results in your business as well.

You have a friend or relative that is the same age as you yet they are slimmer, look younger, healthier and have more energy than you do. By learning and using NLP you can begin to make changes in your way of thinking, feeling and acting towards things like the foods you eat and the amount of time you spend exercising or improving your health. This will allow you to make lasting improvements in your weight and health as well.

Learning and using NLP can be a very empowering way of taking charge of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors to start creating your life the way that you truly want it to be.
