Today I'll write a brief article here about NLP, Neuro Linguistic Programming.
Inspired by Maria Duval, I have been learning about NLP, as few months.
When you see this pseudo, 'neuro', I'm sure you know it is aobut your mind or brain. Yes, that's right.
Right, NLP simply means 'programming' of our mind and our body language (linguistic) so that we can achieve optimum psychological and behaviorial performance. For example, how we can use NLP knowledge to tune our mind so that we perform optimally just before a singing competition!!
NLP relates to our nervous system through the five senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. It give us the tools for personal change so that we live the life we truly deserve. Whether that be in our health, relationships or careers.
In addition to therapy, NLP has been used successfully in sales, business, education and many other vocations and to me that's a brief history of NLP to date.
For example, you can use NLP to program yourself to be happy. Do this simple exercise. Recall a time in the past when you were happy. Run this picture clearly in your mind and hear whatever you told to yourself. Check the facial expression you had during that time and have them now as thought the event is happening right now. Make the pictures clear and bright, intensify the feeling of Happiness inside you growing more and more.
As you see the difference in your intensity of happiness, see the vibrant colour inside you engulfing more energy and Happiness inside you. As you feel happy now you can continue holding on to this feeling however long you want.
See its usefulness?

NLP Book
I learn about NLP but as a mean to keep in touch with the ideas constantly, I just ordered this great NLP book from the Amazon, The NLP Coach. The book was recommended by a NLP coach here and you can see this book has great reviews.
If you had to buy one book on NLP and coaching, this is it!!!
After reading it, I felt like I had just been revived from a coma! This book should be read and reread so as to get the full impact. Afterwards, reflections and a reframing of your life's experiences most assuredly will result.
I hope I will experience that after going through the book. The strive for excellence never stops for me!

Planning to learn NLP
Well, had a very busy day in office with some job interviews to be conducted. A lot of young people are unsure what they want in life actually and I can empathise with them as I was just like them when I was younger. We always think that TIME is on our side, however, in one big fell swoop, 20 or 30 years just go past, and we will sit at a corner sipping a drink and thinking how different it might be if I had.....
That is why I always advise these young people to plan their career plan well if I have a chance. One thing's for sure, they are really very intelligent nowadays. They learn fast, have knowledge on web 2.0, and they have the dress sense.
Right now I'm planning to learn NLP, or Neuro Linguistic Programming, as this is something that may be helpful to me.
"Using NLP a person can 'model' the more successful parts of their own behavior in order to reproduce it in areas where they are less successful or 'model' another person to effect belief and behavior changes to improve functioning. If someone excels in some activity, it can be learned how specifically they do it by observing certain important details of their behavior."Source: Wikipaedia
"NLP teaches that a person can develop successful habits by amplifying helpful behaviors and diminishing negative ones. Positive change can come when one carefully reproduces the behaviors and beliefs of successful people (called 'modeling'). It also states that all human beings have all the resources necessary for success within themselves."
There are really a lot of resources about NLP online. Check this link out if you wish to know more.
