NLP is a life changing method for reprogramming the way you think in order to achieve remarkable goals.
For those who have yet to learn about the NLP model of communication, it can seem like a confusing topic. However, neuro-linguistic programming can be understood and utilized by anyone with the desire to change his or her life and reach their goals.
What is Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP)
Neuro-linguistic programming is how to use the language of the mind to reach specific outcomes and goals in life.
Broken down by individual word, neuro refers to the five senses as experienced in our mind, including visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory and gustatory. Linguistic refers to verbal and nonverbal communication that codes a person's mental experiences; it is how we describe what we are experiencing. Finally, programming refers to the way we communicate with ourselves and others to achieve a desired outcome. These goals and outcomes can range from more customer sales to weight loss to better relationships with significant others.
The field of NLP was founded in the 1970s with the studies of Richard Bandler and John Grinder. Bandler and Grinder created the NLP method after carefully studying methods used by the most successful therapists of the era. They found that there were common threads in the structures and methods used by the therapists, and used these methods as the basis for developing the model of neuro-linguistic programming. Bandler and Grinder wrote a number of books on the topic and began teaching NLP courses to coach people on altering behavior in themselves and others to become more successful, happier individuals.
According to the neuro linguistic programming communication model, we process outside information with our own internal representations. Our past memories, decisions, values and beliefs all play a role in filtering our everyday experience and turning it into something that can be very different from reality.
Based on our own information filters, our minds then distort, delete or generalize the situation to create our response. This sum of filters and processes explains why one person reacts to a snake with fear while another person reacts positively and wants to hold the snake. The way people respond to work pressure, hearing a certain tone of voice or specific phrases, or a quick glance from another person can all be understood and explained through neuro-linguistic programming.
Benefits of Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP)
Since the 1970s, NLP has served as a positive way for individuals to take control of their lives. By reprogramming the way the mind reacts to certain situations, negative thought and behavior patterns can be overcome and replaced with new patterns to achieve a desired goal.
Because of this, NLP is a unique therapy method for enabling people to overcome fears, learning disorders, depression, and negative habits.
However, it is also more than a method for correcting negative behaviors - learning NLP enables a person to understand how the mind works, giving them a tool for enormous influence and success in life and business.
For this reason neuro-linguistic programming is often referred to as the 'science of excellence.' The founders actually developed NLP in part by studying how the most successful people in the world achieved their phenomenal status, happiness and wealth; another reason it earned the tag 'science of excellence.'
Many highly successful people, including Oprah and world-renowned motivational guru Tony Robbins, are avid proponents of NLP and credit the method with much of their success.
To learn NLP techniques, individuals can take neuro-linguistic programming courses and seminars from experts in NLP. Many neuro-linguistic masters offer one-on-one coaching, though individual sessions can be pricey. Individuals who wish to learn NLP at home can order online study materials that reveal the tricks and techniques behind mastering NLP, and practice on their own to reach their goals.
