Neuro Linguistic Programming YOU SEE... WE GET WHAT WE THINK ABOUT! Many of us do not think about what we want in life (health and fitness, happiness, success, loving relationships, financial security), instead we think about our life in terms of what we don't want, (not wanting to be sick anymore, the problems at work, not being broke all the time). So, what is Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)? NLP teaches you HOW you do what you do:
- HOW you take in the information from the world around you;
- WHAT you do with that information inside your head; and
- HOW what you do results in states such as happiness or depression, a body that is healthy or ill and behaviour that supports you in getting what you think about (which is not necessarily what you think you want).
The Neuro part of NLP refers to our neurological system and the way we use our 5 senses to translate our experience into thought processes, both conscious and unconscious. It highlights the way in which everything is part of the same whole - literally, as we speak, so we feel and we act. Linguistic refers to how we both create and reveal to ourselves and others our unique model of the world, the way we think about it, and the way we experience it. Programming refers to processes and strategies - the specific steps we go through to achieve the effects we get. There is sequence of thoughts and behaviors that results in our experience. Basically, I see it like this: If we do what we do, we get what we get. If we don’t like what we get, we need to change what we do. NLP is a great tool to achieve this!
