New Code NLP

By Michael Beale
I was particularly looking forward to attending the above seminar having heard a lot about John, being a co-founder of NLP and yet having no particular expectations of what to expect.

Curiously enough while the reality surprised me - it was exactly like I would have expected had I thought about it. In fact I could sum it up by saying the course gave some really good quality, precise, exceptionally well delivered NLP training and practice - a useful refinement, without anything particularly new. The exception being some useful distinctions and some stories about Erickson, Bandler and Gilligan that I hadn't heard before.

Carmen didn't really work for me. In the end I found walking down some really attractive London streets, appreciating the buildings, listening to the muted weekend sounds and feeling the warmth of the spring sunshine more appealing - however many appeared to enjoy her sessions.

In summary the course gave:

Some useful distinctions in using NLP
Good techniques to practice/use
A model of excellent NLP training
A chance to talk to John himself

Some useful distinctions in using NLP

The key point I remember was John's view of not setting specific conscious outcomes in personal change work. The idea is that the unconscious is much better at this, and therefore the emphasis is on providing additional resources to help the unconscious choose the best outcome*. (*Note you need to set outcomes in business work!!)

In 'true' NLP modelling, the modeller takes on board the new skill set without consciously working out what he/she should be doing - Too much conscious thinking will create filters which interfere with the process. The test and initial feedback loop is that the modeller carry out the new skill on a third party.

Good NLP techniques

We covered 'new code' NLP when I took my own practitioner course several years ago, however it was only after this course that I understood some of their strength and have included them in some of my own trainings. Two examples include 'stalking' and 'physiological walking'.

These are just two examples are what I've taken on board and use, what follows is what I remember and use - it may be different to what was actually demonstrated:

Stalking

For use when a client slowly 'sinks' into a less than useful state without noticing it. By the time he's noticed it its hard to get out.

Practitioner ask client to develop a 'resource' or 'sanctuary' state and anchor it to a specific location on the floor. Practitioner asks the client to take a step to a different position.

Practitioner asks the client to imagine the 'less than useful state' in a position on the floor away from the sanctuary state. He is asked to notice what he sees and hears in that state. (Without actually walking over to that position).

Practitioner asks the client to walk towards the 'less than useful' state as if he was stalking it. As soon as he starts to be influenced in any way by that state he is to rush back to the 'sanctuary state'. Repeat two more times. (ie he will not actually reach the negative state.)

In the future the client is likely to notice the approach of the 'less than useful state' and can choose to avoid it.

Physiological walking

For use when a client wants more resources in any situation.

Practitioner asks client to see and hear himself in the situation he wants more resource in, in a location a few feet away. He is then asked to come up with 3 additional states to help him.

Practitioner asks client to walk and coaches client to release any tension and move his physiology to achieve the 3 additional states. Walking as many times across the room as needed. NB pay particular attention to breathing.

Practitioner asks client to look at the situation he needs more resource and notice what he sees and hears differently.

In the future the client is likely to find he has more resources in the original situation and can use this technique himself in many other situations.

NB in both techniques the practitioners main role is to be aware of the clients physiology and state and coach as required.

Model of excellent NLP training

John has obviously learnt a lot about NLP training over the last 30 years and it shows. I was taken by the similarity to Richard rather than the difference. In the way he used anchoring, voice tone and stories, and the way he worked with the audience.

The experience was a pleasure.

A chance to talk to John himself

John was extremely approachable and eager to answer individual questions in breaks and coffee time. In fact an ideal model for anyone wanting to socialise in business gatherings.

Emotional First Aid Through NLP

by Brian Perry LDS

Recall a pleasant memory, a certain time in your life which, when you think about it, makes you feel good about yourself.
When you get a picture of the enjoyable memory in your mind’s eye, notice how you feel. Now allow the picture to move closer, become larger and brighter. Now notice how you feel. Has your feeling changed? Most people enhance their good feeling when they jazz up the picture in this way.
Now allow the picture to move away into the distance so that it becomes smaller, dimmer and barely perceptible. Now notice how your feeling has changed. You may find that your feeling good has diminished and you may feel a sense of loss. So bring the picture back and leave it where it recalls most enjoyment.
This strategy can be used to change unpleasant memories by moving them further away so they become smaller and fuzzy. It sometimes helps to change colour pictures to black and white.
Whilst on holiday recently I met a friend, Mark, whose wife had been recently diagnosed as having terminal cancer. They were both coming to terms with the situation as best they could and living as normally as possible. However, Mark had a problem in that he had recently started a new business, and it was important to them that he gave of his best so that the business would succeed. Mark was not able to do this, and when I asked him what stopped him, he said it was his fear of loneliness in the future. I asked him to allow a picture to form in his mind’s eye of how this loneliness would be.
Mark said “I see myself all alone in a large barren field”. The picture was in colour. I asked him to change it to black and white and put a frame round it. When he did this there was a marked change in his physiology and he said “that’s amazing, I feel like a different person”.
I have kept in touch and Mark is now able to concentrate on his business and also to give his wife all the care and attention she needs.
Have you ever been on a roller coaster? If so, then imagine you can see yourself over there on the ride as it goes up and down and notice how you feel. Now imagine yourself stepping into the picture, taking your place on the ride, so that you are surrounded by all the sights like the huge drop from the top of the loop and hear the shrieks of the other riders. Feel yourself holding the guard rail. Now notice how you feel.
As likely as not you will feel more excitement from imagining you are actually on the ride as compared to watching yourself from a distance. In NLP terms, when you are in the ride you are associated and as you watch from a distance you are dissociated. You are experiencing the same event from two different perspectives and recognising the difference is fundamental to NLP. When you want to enhance an experience become associated. On the other hand you may wish to view other experiences from a distance which would be calming and helpful.
If you think you can’t visualise, imagine what it would look like if you could.

To recap:
1 To enhance a good experience:
a) see it out of your own eyes (associate)
b) bring it closer, make it brighter and larger.
2 To change unpleasant memories:
a) dissociate - see yourself in the picture
b) put a frame around it
c) push it further away into the distance so it becomes dimmer and you get a more objective view. (Putting a frame around the picture is very powerful as it isolates the problem).

Another way to change an unpleasant memory is to mismatch with music
1 Recall an unpleasant memory and notice how you feel.
2 As you recall the memory, internally introduce music which mismatches the experience, like circus or pop music.
3 Break state and recall memory again, and notice the change in feeling. If there is no change, try another tune.

Self esteem
All psychiatrists, health workers and counsellors agree that high self esteem is essential for peak performance in the world. Without it we feel insecure, dependent on others for approval and inadequate. With high self esteem people sort by themselves and are self-reliant and confident. Self esteem is dependent on how we see ourselves internally – our self perceptions and these can be changed.
1 High self esteem people see themselves as whole, well formed individuals and the picture is large, bright and vibrant.
2 Medium self esteem people see themselves as well formed individuals but the picture is dim and distant.
3 Very low self esteem people see a distorted self image which is large, bright and vibrant.
4 Medium low self esteem people have a distorted self image which is dim and distant.
To enhance self esteem first of all take a few minutes to access your present self image. Note the intensity of the self image. Now slowly change the self image until you know, by its physiology – posture, breathing etc., that it has self esteem. Change any distortions and when you are satisfied viz. looking at it makes you feel good, turn up the intensity – bring it closer and turn up the brightness and notice how different the world feels.
People with eating disorders have low esteem and changing their internal self image is an essential part of therapy.
These exercises are designed to deal with problems of low to medium intensity. Such problems as post traumatic stress and phobias can require the help of an NLP therapist.

More about NLP
A pre-supposition of NLP is ‘The map is not the territory’.
We live in a world which is so rich in content that in order to make sense of it we are selective of what we are aware of. We create a world of our own choosing. In other words we do not live in the real world – we live in our own internal perceptions of the real world. Our external behaviour will be closely related to our internal map of the world – which may be resourceful or limiting.
Furthermore we represent internally incoming information in coded form to give it meaning.
Think of somebody you feel comfortable with and now think of somebody you feel uncomfortable with. Notice the difference the way these two people are presented internally. For me, the comfortable person is in colour, large and straight in front of me and, the person I am not comfortable with is down left in black and white and small.
These distinctions let me know immediately how to respond when I meet them – without going through a lengthy personal history. However, if I were to move the uncomfortable person to the location of the comfortable person, my response might change.
Remember, the map is not the territory, so why not change it?

(NLP) Tea's Protection for Diabetics

By Jon Stout
Diabetes is one of our leading killers. Today, over 20 million people in the US have diabetes, and nearly one third of them don’t even know it. In addition, about 54 million people are pre-diabetic, meaning that their blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to cause a diagnosis of diabetes. Complications from diabetes include blindness, cataracts, kidney problems, heart disease, stroke, nerve damage and foot and skin problems.

Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin, the hormone that converts sugar and other food into energy. The most common type of diabetes seen today is Type II, where insulin is produced (though sometimes not in a high enough quantity), but is not used properly, resulting in a high level of blood glucose in the body. Type I diabetes is diagnosed in childhood, and results from an inability to produce insulin.

Doctors are not entirely sure of the cause of diabetes, but we do know that people who are obese and who do not get regular exercise are at a much greater risk of developing Type II diabetes than those who exercise and maintain a healthy weight. Family history also plays a part.

There is no cure for diabetes. Once you have developed the disease, you must simply work to control your blood sugar levels for the rest of your life. Some Type II diabetics are dependent upon insulin injections, while others are able to control their diabetes through diet and exercise. All Type I diabetics require insulin treatment because their body is not able to produce insulin on its own.

For Type II diabetics, it is preferable to be able to control their blood sugars without the use of insulin. If insulin is required, patients must either give themselves daily injections, or require an insulin pump. Either is cumbersome and restrictive, so managing the diabetes naturally is certainly preferred.

To manage Type II diabetes without insulin, careful attention must be paid to the food that you eat, and blood sugar levels must be monitored religiously. Diabetics who are managing their disease without medication must be careful to get enough exercise each day to account for the carbohydrates they consume in order to prevent their blood sugar levels from skyrocketing.

For these patients, any help in regulating blood sugar is welcome. And, it’s possible that some help may come in the form of tea. Much research has been performed in the last few years on the ability of tea, particularly green tea, to naturally regulate blood sugar levels.

Tea is full of anti-oxidants, which are very important in preventing disease. Anti-oxidants fight the free radicals that our body creates each day during the digestive process. Left unchecked, free radicals cause disease and aging. Free radicals are known to contribute to heart disease and cancer.

It’s likely that these anti-oxidants in tea are the reason that it helps control blood sugar, too. One study, reported by the UK Tea Council, examined each and every form of anti-oxidant in tea and measured its effect on non-insulin dependent diabetics.

This study found a direct correlation between anti-oxidant activity in the body and the consumption of green tea. As much as a 24% decrease in the activity of erythrocyte membranes that contribute to heart disease were noted with the consumption of tea’s anti-oxidants. This is important, since 3 of 5 diabetics will suffer a heart attack.

Other studies have shown that tea had a significant effect on the blood glucose levels of diabetic mice. When the mice were given tea, their blood sugar levels stayed consistent and did not rise above normal levels. Another study showed that green tea consumption of less than 5 cups per day may have the power to reduce blood sugar levels enough to reduce the complications of diabetes.

While it’s certain that more research is needed, there is much promise in the use of tea to help control diabetes. There are likely many more studies that need to be conducted before we fully understand what tea can do for diabetics and exactly how it works.

It will indeed be good news to learn exactly how tea’s anti-oxidants prevent diseases and exactly which diseases it affects. It will also be useful to learn how much tea we need to drink and if drinking it a certain times of the day decrease or increase its effectiveness.

But, while we’re waiting for more information, there’s no reason that you can’t go ahead and add tea to your diet, if you’re not already drinking it. Tea is healthy and has no side effects. So, whether your preference is green tea or black, hot or cold, with milk or without, drink your tea today. And if you’re struggling to control diabetes without the use of insulin, tea may also help you in this battle.

Can NLP Help or Harm Your Business?

By Graham Yemm
The simple answer to the above is, “both”! It depends on a number of things. Perhaps the first thing to explore is your reaction to seeing those three letters put together? If someone tells you they are an NLP practitioner do you search for your cross and garlic cloves? Do you welcome them and want to know more?

In this article I want to cover four key aspects:

Why knowing more about NLP and its uses might be useful for you and others in your organisation.
What NLP is and some of the key principles.
How it has been used in some organisations.
What you might be able to do with it in the future.

Although I have been involved with NLP, and using it in work and other parts of my life for over 10 years I am not one of the evangelists nor do I believe it is a panacea! I am not aiming to defend NLP. I have my own views about what it is and how it can work for those who want to learn more about it – but I can offer no empirical evidence for these and do not intend to. Over that time I have realised that it can help most people, and in many different ways. Whether improving the communication and influencing skills of individuals; enabling managers and leaders to operate more effectively; giving sales and customer service people more options when dealing with the wide range of prospects and clients, helping teams to work together, providing tools to address problems or providing everyone with a better understanding of themselves – the list is not limited to particular disciplines or groups.

One of the biggest problems with NLP is its name!! Neuro Linguistic Programming is hardly the branding of a smart marketing team! Apart from being somewhat “user-unfriendly” the last word often carries negative impressions for many. Without giving the whole history, suffice to say that the original developers of NLP, Richard Bandler and John Grinder, were involved in mathematics and linguistics. Much of what they identified and developed was based on the work of well-known linguistics experts – one of whom (Alfred Korzybski) had already used the term neuro-linguistic in his work. The principle is that the “neuro” is to understand how we process and think about things, the “linguistics” is to consider the words we use and the clues within those, and finally, the “programming” is how we have generated the patterns within ourselves and keep running the programmes. (As in computing – even if the instructions within the programme to do not appear to be relevant or make sense.) The key is within this last part and the following definition builds from it: NLP is a set of guiding principles, attitudes and techniques that enable you to change behaviour patterns as you wish."

A fundamental premise of the early work done by Bandler and Grinder was that they wanted to study people who were excellent and to identify what the specifically they did to achieve this. They wanted to be able to break this down and identify the specific elements – and then teach or impart these to others in order to improve their performance. (Hence, a simpler definition which stated that NLP was “the study of excellence”.) From this early work a number of tools and techniques were created, some were adapted from different disciplines, and others have been developed by people such is Robert Dilts.

Many of these tools and techniques can be very powerful. This, in turn, can lead to the accusations of NLP being “manipulative”. First question – how do you define the difference between manipulation and influence? Second point, is a chisel a murder weapon when in the hands of Michelangelo and he is sculpting “David” or “The Pieta”? Yes, in the wrong hands, NLP has a lot of manipulative tools, especially when you see some of the websites and others about “Mastering the Art of Seduction” etc!! It has to do with the integrity, and intention, of the user.

For me, one of the most powerful applications of NLP was using it on myself. It helped me to know me even better, to recognise that I could develop even more flexibility in my actions and interactions and to take more responsibility for my own thoughts and actions. There is a particular model used within NLP called the Neurological Levels of Alignment (or Logical Levels) which can help in a wide variety of ways, and I have found of great benefit for me – and with individuals and groups within clients. (Get in touch to ask for a diagram.) Although some analysts happily take it apart and disprove it – in my experience it works! Basically, make the changes closer to the centre and they will be more long-lasting.

Applications in the workplace

"NLP could be the most important synthesis of knowledge about human communication to emerge since the sixties" Science Digest

There is no limit to where NLP, or parts of it, can be applied. From writing advertising copy to customer service people handling phone calls, managers motivating their people or sales people developing their skills to win over more customers, the limits are within the mind of the users.

Although NLP has many “direct” business applications, I believe that its most powerful use is for individuals to improve their self-awareness and to develop greater skills in their self-management, communication and interpersonal dealings. It can help improve their Emotional Intelligence. The 5 Pillars of NLP (expanded from 4!) give a good indication of what it is. Outcome thinking, sensory acuity, flexibility, rapport and state management, cover what the key elements are – and offer a caveat about the potential for jargon! Taking each of these:

Outcome thinking: - being clear about what you want to achieve, the aims or goals that you want. This can cover long, medium and short-term outcomes. Fundamentally, it is about doing things for a reason.

Sensory acuity: - paying attention to what is happening and the signals you are receiving. The better you can become at this, noticing changes in voice tone, small shifts in body language, the actual words people are using or even eye movements, the more you can understand the other person and how tune into them. (Those of you who are familiar with the concept of “eye accessing cues” and “representational systems” may like to know that in strict research terms they do not score highly as predictors. However, it does pay to improve our ability to pay attention to others!)

Flexibility: - “If you continue to do what you have always done, you will always get what you have always got”. If something is not working – do anything else! We can become creatures of habit, yet good communicators and influencers are those who have developed more habits so that are not stuck in particular ways of operating.

Rapport: - the ability to develop a sense of mutual understanding, to tune into the other person and they feel as though you are on their wavelength. This does not have to equate to liking each other.

State management: - taking control of your own emotions, responses and attitudes. The start point for this is to accept responsibility for these, and then to recognise what you can do to generate the “state” you want for the context.

By using a number of the tools within each of these, we can find ways to enhance our own skills in working with others or shift our attitudes within ourselves. For me, this is the start point for using NLP and not just acquiring some tools and techniques to use on others!

Management and leadership

Many organisations use SMART as their approach to setting goals and objectives. How effectively does this work? There is a technique within NLP which is referred to as “chunking” or “stepping up and down” which can be very useful – and does not have to be mutually exclusive to SMART. For many people the SMART goal is not compelling or motivating in itself for various reasons. It may seem too big or far away and all they can see are potential problems. It could be that it is not giving enough of a challenge or payoff. By “moving” the goal it is possible to both make it compelling and to create an action plan for getting started and working towards it. The fundamental process is shown in the figure and might look very simple. It is, and it is also very powerful, especially when the manager resists the temptation to make suggestions.

There are many aspects of NLP which are very useful for dealing with others. For managers and leaders, these can be beneficial when coaching their team members, getting teams to work together, creating and communicating the way forward and enabling them to be more motivated. Going beyond those for a change, there are some really useful tools for handling problem-solving challenges or managing change. The good thing with these, is that they can be used alongside more conventional management tools and add strength to a manager’s skills-set. Combining these with attention to the specific words and language can lead to insights for moving forward or overcoming problems. An example would be to use an approach called “SCORE “. It is worth adding here, that many NLP approaches work more effectively when “experiential” rather than conceptual. In this case, putting bits of paper on the floor and moving around them encourages different thinking, despite moving some managers outside their comfort zones!

SCORE is not highly complex – and goes through:



S – ymptoms What is happening right now which we want/need to change?
C – auses What are the reasons for this? Which are the key ones?
O - outcomes What do we want to have instead of the present situation?
R - esources What do we have available (people, skills, or whatever)?
E - cology Will the outcomes, and using the resources, fit our culture?

Hypnosis - The Simple Truth Revealed

Alan B. Densky
THE DEFINITION OF HYPNOSIS Hypnosis is a state of hyper-suggestibility where the conscious and subconscious (unconscious) minds dissociate. It is a state of mind where the subject is more likely to accept the operator's suggestions.

You have been in hypnosis many times without even realizing it. If you have ever watched a sad T.V. show and reacted with a tear in your eye, you have been hypnotized by the television. You entered a state of increased suggestibility where you uncritically accepted the suggestion of sadness on the TV screen and reacted with a sad emotion, your tear. In other words your reasoning ability, which is contained in your conscious mind, was bypassed. You did not reason that the show was just a play; you accepted the action as being real. So you reacted with real emotion.

WHO CAN BE HYPNOTIZED? It has been found that all normal people are hypnotizable to a greater or lesser extent. People with less than a 70 I.Q., those of the moron level or lower, generally are not hypnotizable. People who are in an active state of psychosis generally are not hypnotizable. Most senile people are difficult or impossible to hypnotize. I have found in my own private practice dealing with a large number of retired people as old as 85 years of age, that hypnosis is a potent and beneficial method for most people. The person's motivation is the key to success.

What is Neuro Linguistic Programming

By: Terence Young
Being a compilation of pseudoscientific self-help practices, neuro linguistic programming (NLP) is designed for programming the mind. As the name signifies, Neuro linguistic programming teaches to maintain a strong relationship between your mind and language. Thus, the program is all about organizing your mental life. It works on the principle that the interaction of your body and mind has a great impact on your mental and physical state as all behaviors are attributed by a practically determinable construction.

Benefits Of Neuro Linguistic Programming
Neuro Linguistic Programming provides a great way to polish personal development and professional excellence in counseling, business and education by means of several training courses. Those who have tried NLP have witnessed accomplishing grand success in their respective field, thereby turning their dreams into reality. The program is growing in popularity as it acquaints you with the strategies that you would surely like to master to gain model triumph in all the walks of life. Most people opt for NLP to improve their communication skills that are the most important aspect to build profound rapport quickly and powerfully with anyone. Moreover, it helps you to become your own coach, thus overcoming all the possible hurdles of life.

How to Use NLP Anchoring in Every Conversation

By Patrick Leypold
The new commercial you are saying bad things about to your friend, the way a lady across the room plays with her hair, in song texts like: "We all live in a yellow...", or the sound that your mail program makes when you get a new email.

They are there all the time, for the simple reason that they are the reason why our brain works the way it does work.

The question is: How can you use "free floating anchors" as John LaValle calls them?

How can you practice the NLP(tm) technique of Anchoring in everyday life?

Easily.

E.g.: You are having a conversation with a friend via Skype. You talk about this and that, suddenly your friend bursts into laughter about a think you said that you didn't even intent to be funny.

Sales State Management Part 1

By Sam Witteveen
In the last article, I was talking about the fact that you need to be in a fantastic state, in a friendly state when you meet up with your customer. So what makes up states?

Let me ask you. What would be the differences in the ways that you would be when you are depressed? You would sit with your shoulders down and you sit in more of a slumped way, wouldn’t you? Where as, if you were at a sports game and your team was winning you would be standing up and cheering, expressing yourself with arm movements and things like that.

One of the differences about your state is how you change your Physiology.

Everything that you do with your arms gestures, what you do when you are breathing, what you do with the structure with the way you are sitting or the way you are standing is part of your physiology.

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)

By C. Bailey-Lloyd
Neuro linguistic Programming is commonly referred to by its acronym: ‘NLP.’ In general, NLP Training may be acquired through various workshops, distance and online learning programs; seminars and other comprehensive educational courses.

NLP Training comes in a variety of educational levels to match individual needs geared towards personal and/or professional development; including NLP training for life coaches and mental health practitioners.

NLP training courses encompass instruction that help students to master effective techniques for transforming weak belief systems and negative behavior; how to handle choices and bring forth resolutions between difficult individuals; how to communicate effectively and productively; how to gain control of emotions and how to use past experiences to produce personal growth; and how to positively reinforce self to develop overall well being and personal confidence.

NLP training certification programs teach students all the above; but also incorporate methodical instruction that assists practitioners in better understanding and helping clients to develop positive means to help bring about healthy resolutions.

Reframing With NLP For Enhanced Happiness

By Adam Eason
I used to work for the Independent National Newspaper in Canary Wharf, London. I can remember in the build up to Christmas, my department was having a large & expensive new computer system installed because the newspaper was being relaunched, it was when Andrew Marr and Rosie Boycott were becoming joint editors, I digress…. The system was being put in just before Christmas, but it was a massive task, with numerous issues & overruns. As Christmas approached, there were still a number of teething problems, which led to stretched relations between the system supplier & the newspaper staff.

At one meeting about the integration of the system, my director had been trying to get more time investment from the installation company, only to be told that their people weren’t going to be available on Christmas day. My director was frustrated and furious, asking “What are you doing that’s more important than sorting out our system!?” Without hesitating, the guy from the installation company said “Delivering Christmas hampers to the elderly.” The impact was immediate; everyone in the room started laughing & my director joined them, realising that he’d perhaps been a bit unreasonable. Everyone knew that the story about the elderly wasn’t true, but that didn’t matter – the statement had changed his perception of the situation, instantly, & he started behaving more reasonably.

NLP – 6 Simple Techniques to Skyrocket Your Confidence with NLP Today

By: Pradeep Agarwal
Confidence essentially comes from personal comfort. When a person is comfortable with who he is, he automatically develops confidence. He is no longer worried what others may think of him. When a person is certain about himself, the impression he gives out is not that he isn’t afraid of anything but that he can deal with anything.

Confidence enables a person to persevere in life and emerge as a success.

We may observe that most of us approach challenging situations with fear already in our minds. We always picture the worst possible things that could happen. Instilling confidence in the self is a step by step process. It is may be achieved gradually and is within the means of everyone. Once self-confidence is established in the mind, success follows naturally.

Here are 6 simple steps that will help you raise your confidence:

1) Find a quiet and comfortable place where you will not be disturbed for the next 10 minutes.

2) Now close your eyes. Take a deep breath, hold for a few seconds and as you exhale tell yourself to relax. Repeat another three times and each time you will feel more relaxed.

3) When you are relaxed, open your eyes. Imagine that there is a magic mirror before you. In that mirror, you can see a more confident and successful you. See, hear and feel as that person would. Observe the changes in your body language.

4) Keep increasing the intensity of this feeling until the image becomes brighter, clearer and more colorful; you feel stronger and your mind tells you that you have supreme confidence in yourself. At this point, press your thumb and index finger together and say in your mind, ‘Supreme confidence.’ Let this become a mind trigger for you.

Moja przygoda z NLP zaczęła się dokładnie w andrzejkowy wieczór trzy lata temu. Samo czytanie książek, wyszukiwanie informacji w internecie – to zbyt mało. Zdecydowałem się na udział w szkoleniu. Były to zarazem najdroższe Andrzejki. Ale jeśli chodzi o finanse – to żałować mogę tylko jednego, że nie udało mi się być na szkoleniu kilka lat wcześniej. Ale wtedy jeszcze nic o tym nie wiedziałem.

i co dalej?

Jak zauważasz, zbyt często nie uzupełniam postów – to, co piszę tu w skrócie, możesz w całości przeczytać na stronie, do której podaję link na końcu każdego postu. Ale ten blog będzie się znacznie różnił nie tylko od podanej strony, ale także od każdych innych stron czy blogów dotyczących NLP. Będę tu bowiem opisywał interesujące techniki, które jeśli zechcesz – możesz przetestować. W następnym poście już pierwsza z nich. Niedługo też każdy post będzie tłumaczony w języku angielskim.
