A fancy name created for a process that incorporates neurological processes (neuro-), language (linguistic) and behavioral patterns learned through experience (programming). <strong>Let me put this into \u201creal world\u201d talk,<\/strong> without going into boring history around its development.<\/p><p>NLP is a bit of a melting pot of techniques that can be used in the therapeutic process for helping a client make positive changes. There are some techniques that<br \/>include eye movement, or other therapist guided exercises, but in this article, I am<br \/>going to focus on the \u201cneuro-linguistic\u201d part of it.<\/p><p>We all know how a child can be affected by the words of others. If he is called lazy<br \/>by a parent constantly or called a name at school by the other kids, the child may<br \/>take it on as a truth about him or herself, even as an adult, having this identity<br \/>subconsciously, regardless of its validity.<\/p><p>Now, imagine if there were<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> someone in<\/span> your head talking to you about yourself<\/strong> constantly that you could not quiet? That person is you.<\/p><p>We are actually in constant conversation with ourselves, from the moment we wake up until we go to sleep, and even in our dreams we are communicating with<br \/>ourselves. Every thought we have is made up of the words we use to talk to<br \/>ourselves. This is where the \u201cprogramming\u201d comes in.<\/p><p>Just as being told you are lazy, or stupid by others can \u201cprogram\u201d your mind to believe it, your own words can \u201cprogram\u201d your beliefs about yourself and the world around you. How many times have you disappointed yourself and said \u201cI\u2019m such an idiot! I am so stupid!\u201d<\/p><p><br \/>What do you say to yourself about your job? \u201cI hate my job. This job sucks!\u201d How<br \/>does it make you feel about yourself or your job? I<strong>magine if you could change those feelings<\/strong> by changing the words you use in your thoughts. It seems very simple, and perhaps simple minded, but sometimes the simplest changes are the easiest to make and stick with, allowing a greater change for the better!<\/p><p><br \/>So, what am I saying here? First \u2013 you have a choice of what words you use in<br \/>your conversations with yourself. Using \u201cpositive\u201d words, even when expressing<br \/>something \u201cnegative\u201d can have a positive change on your mind-set and thereby,<br \/>your overall happiness level and physical health.<\/p><p>For example, a small change from \u201cI hate my job\u201d to \u201cI don\u2019t like my job\u201d removes the negative word \u201chate\u201d and replaces it with \u201clike\u201d. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Your brain will interpret this sentence differently<\/span> now, allowing a higher level of satisfaction.<\/p><p><br \/>Another example is changing the often used \u201cI have to\u2026..\u201d to \u201cI choose to\u2026\u201d recognizing that you choose to do something based on the fact that the consequences of not doing it are probably worse than doing it.<\/p><p>It is a choice, as opposed to expressing victimhood, you express your power to choose. (I know, this may be a tough one to begin using, but try it! At the very least, you may get a chuckle out of saying \u201cI choose to get up and go to the job I don\u2019t like\u201d. If you can laugh about it, you\u2019re already doing well!)<\/p><p><br \/><strong>NLP is a cornerstone of advertising and sales and is also used by motivational speakers like Tony Robbins<\/strong>. It can be used to try to sell you a car or sell you on yourself! As a hypnotherapist and Life Strategist I use it to encourage my clients and inform them of how to use it in those everyday conversations they have with<br \/>themselves.<\/p><p><br \/>So, tomorrow morning, try saying \u201cgood morning! It\u2019s going to be a great day!\u201d and<br \/>take it from there!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Desiree Holmes Scherini, CHt, NLP NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming.
