What is Neuro Linguistic Programming?
Neuro Linguistic Programming was created by John Grinder and Richard Bandler in 1975. Their goal was to discover why some people produced excellent results and then create models to allow other people to assimilate the same processes. Over the years many people were modelled and a host of techniques were developed.
Neuro linguistic programming teaches the student to use parts of the brain you may not have realised were available. The clue is in the name itself, neuro referring to the nervous connections in the brain and the different sections within the human brain. Linguistic meaning communication, specifically the communication between the different parts of the brain – finally programming which creates the interaction between different sections of the brain. This entire process forms the basis of neuro linguistic programming
What have I got and what do I want?
How do you feel about your life now? Listen, if you want to change you can do this easily and effortlessly with neuro linguistics programming. Either that or carry on doing it the hard way! Create a brighter more compelling picture of the future, read on and see how our neuro linguistic programming can present you with this future.
Neuro Linguistic Programming & Beliefs
Challenging beliefs can be difficult – neuro linguistic programming allows you to break this barrier. Several hundred years ago we believed that the earth was flat. Until Roger Banister broke the 4 minute mile it was seen as physically impossible, now athletes are approaching 3 minutes.
Basically everything inside your head is not real. Rather it is an Internal Representation – a series of stored images sounds and feelings of what we believed to be true. We are bombarded with two million bits of information a second. Of these only 134 get through our filtering systems which are beliefs, attitudes etc. Neuro linguistic training allows you to select the items which you want to believe in and were previously unable to.
Imagine 2 million straws dropping on your head every second. However you can only grasp 134. Wow and everyone else can only get 134 too and they could be catching different straws to you. What if we could reach out and see the straws they are grasping. How attuned we would become to their picture of the world. Does that make sense?
Think like you have always thought and you will do what you have always done and get what you always got.
Goal Setting
This may have applied once but times have changed, if we carry on thinking the way we thought we may not even get the same results.
Once we focus on what we want, we start grasping different straws and the filters open up, this is the main objective of neuro linguistic programming. For example have you ever bought a new car and all of a sudden noticed that the same model is everywhere, that’s right. So imagine if you set your heart on a goal, you notice new information that was right here all the time. So now you have an understanding of what we are saying, you can get a hold of your brighter future now.
Personal Responsibility or Cause and Effect
Ever met a mood hoover? That’s right; they walk into the room and suck away all the positive emotion and happy feelings, leaving behind a trail of bickering and misery. Well the mood hoovers live in the Effects box of life, blaming everyone else, parents, teachers, government, the weather and footie results. Never taking responsibility for their own life.
Reasons or Excuses! It is important to really listen to our own language and catch ourselves giving Reasons why we can’t have or do something. Often these Reasons are due to our limiting beliefs which we can change through one to one intervention or you can learn on our neuro linguistic programmes.
However we have a Choice! You can Decide to live in the Cause box. People who live in the Cause box take charge and suddenly new opportunities arise as they realise that we can pretty well influence everyone around us, whether it be their boss or the parking attendant. They are happier and in control. Cause and Effect have a massive impact on our thinking and behaviour. So be aware of those Reasons!
Positive Psychology, Social and Emotional Intelligence
We are unique in that we also introduce delegates to positive psychology, emotional and social intelligence. Neuro linguistic programming is interwoven within these subject areas. Gaining an understanding of positive psychology, social and emotional intelligence together with neuro linguistic programming will give you longer legs for bigger strides.
The unconscious appears to have no violation. It neither generates its own objectives nor determines its own focus. It is highly subject to direction and conditioning – what we pay attention to takes on special significance to the unconscious – Peter Senge.
“Focus on what you want, not what you don't want
“You are in charge of your mind and therefore your results”
