Why learn NLP?

The first question to ask yourself is ‘have you achieved everything in your life that you want to achieve?’ If the answer is yes, then nice job. If the answer is no, then read on!

What you achieve in your life is dependent on how you think. You are where you are in your life now as a product of thousands of decisions you have made in your past. Some of them have been good, and some, perhaps, not so good.

Decision making

You quickly give up trying because the teacher has been proved right and now you absolutely believe what she said. You stop applying for jobs because you have now morphed that original belief into “I’m not good enough” and that starts to run across your life. 

Perhaps you meet someone really nice but remind yourself that you’re not good enough, so the relationship doesn’t go anywhere.

Essentially the teacher’s original throwaway comment has been cast in stone in your belief system and everything in your life will be affected by your belief. 

The thing is, beliefs are not true. The problem is that you ‘act’ as if they are true and consequently they become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Hang on a moment! If they are not true then surely we could change them! Yes, you can and you will need to work at the unconscious level to affect those changes. You cannot just wake up in the morning and consciously decide to change a belief and it happens. You need tools! That’s where NLP comes in.

Where NLP comes in

 NLP can provide you with tools and processes to understand how the mind works and to change anything that is unwanted in the system. You do not have to be super clever to do this, you just need an open mind.

The result would be that they would apply for all sorts of ‘better’ jobs and because of that belief, they would have the confidence to get them. They would also have the confidence to ask that special person out because they would believe that they are totally good enough for them.

The bottom line is that things would change in that person’s life. They are still the same person, but they now think differently.

Maybe you have wondered about one of the following questions?

• Have you ever considered why some people are excellent at certain things and others are not?

• Do you have any beliefs about yourself that limit your potential?

• Ever wondered why some people achieve their goals, and others don’t?

• Do you have anything in your life that could be changed for the better with a different way of thinking?

• Are you stuck in a rut and no matter how hard you try, you just can’t get out?

• Do you know exactly where your life is going and are you happy with the direction?

Perhaps the clue as to why learn NLP lies above!

That is perhaps one of the answers to your question of “why learn NLP”!

We can also use NLP  to change the way we think to dispel any thought processes that are not useful and to focus clearly on what we want. This is done by working at the unconscious level of the individual with some processes that allows the individual to change their way of thinking.

We already use elements of NLP within our day to day life but do so in an unstructured way thus negating its powerful potential. NLP essentially is how to use the language of the mind to consistently achieve our specific and desired outcomes.

Why learn NLP? Whilst you may be able to exist without it, the question is, can you excel? …..Can you….?
