Week 4. NLP at the airport!
Flying from the UK to France, I thought I’d buy a novel as i’m now researching for my own creative writing which is going rather well, I’m writing every week and without the pressure to ’succeed’ or ‘make money’ things are flowing. But contrary to my plans, a little bright red book seemed to jump out at me at the airport.
Its been an amazing insight into my own mind. To be brief, if you are thinking at all about the thing you want to change i.e I don’t want to be fat, or I want to be out of debt, all your mind can process are the words ‘fat’ and ‘debt’, so guess what? Your brain will make the choices required to keep you fat and in debt. The answer is to be forward in your thinking, to have ‘move toward’ goals rather than ‘move away’ goals. And I can’t stress enough, that not once in the day must these words appear, only the positive goals ahead of you. I have begun to work with this myself in this way and the change is very dramatic. At once, I feel clearer, freer from worry and happy and positive about the changes of the future.
Another great phrase to help me check if I am sabotaging any aspect of my life was, ‘anything less than 100% commitment is sabotage’. That’s quite a full on statement and as I repeat it to myself every day, I wonder at the power it holds. If I find myself feeling a bit lethargic about a plan, I say it and it shifts me into gear.
So, just a little taster for you of NLP. I intend to become a practitioner and have enquired about courses so I’ll keep you up-dated.
I hope your head is high and your goals are forward.
With Love
