NLP works from the presupposition that anything one person can do, another person can learn to do (providing it is something of which s/he is physically capable). The flip side of this presupposition is the idea that anything you can do successfully can become a pattern for success in new contexts.As you consider this presupposition, you will notice that it contains other beliefs about human beings; it contains, for instance, the idea that we are resources for each other. Our world is more easily influenced because we are not alone in it. Not only do we learn from each other deliberately: we also pick up moods and states from each other.The obvious way to use NLP to meet a challenge is to find someone who is successfully handling a similar challenge and model them - observe them with such acuity that you can do what they are doing and get the same result they are getting.There is a catch. In order to model successfully, you will need to be able to identify with your model - to find ways in which you can think, feel and act alike. This is hard to do unless you are feeling resourceful.

I had a terrible day today; everything seemed to go wrong right from the start. Every decision I made today seemed to be the wrong decision and had negative results. Why do I seem to have days like this all the time lately?Do you ever feel like that? Don't you hate it when you see people that are always happy and always seem to make the right decision - every single time?Did you know that it's all about the way that we think? The way we think can affect the outcome of our entire day and in fact our entire lives.If a person has had many bad experiences in their lives then these past experiences will effect all the decisions that they make on a daily basis. Even though they will not connect their current decisions with their past experiences, it is the way that the mind works. Each and every decision that a person makes is made based on their past experiences.If you've had a negative past then you will continue to make negative decisions in the future and will continue down that negative pathway.If you are one of these 'negative' people you probably hate reading this and think ... [more...]

You may have decided it is time to stop lying. That is the very first step that needs to be taken in order to change habitual lying. Lying is something everyone does at some time in their life (unless they are eligible for sainthood!). But when the lying is frequent and used to manipulate others on a regular basis, it can become a destructive behavior that eventually affects all of your relationships. Most people don't lie to just one person when lying has become a habit. They will lie to almost everyone in their life at some point.Judging Your Own BehaviorUnless you are a hardened liar, your own body will tell you when your lies are causing distress. The body reacts to lies including a racing heart or nervous twitching. This is a sign that your mind and emotions are not in sync with your behavior. In other words, your body is telling you the lying is putting your mental and physical systems under stress. Deceiving people is never a comfortable behavior and that's why you want to stop lying and begin telling the truth no matter how difficult the truth might be to handle.Accepting the Truth in Your LifeBefore ... [more...]

In their research they studied the behavioral patterns, language, and thought process of several successful people. They believed that if they were able learn what made these successful people successful, they could teach others to be successful by following how these individuals think, communicate, and behave.In NLP this process is called modeling.
