There Is No Such Thing As "Failure".

There Is No Failure, Only Outcome / Feedback.

This is one of many presuppositions of NLP. A "presupposition" is a generalization of an occurrence of an event that hold true universally most of the time.

If each of us embark on a mindset applying this presupposition, we are better prepared for the journey ahead. There are a number of us who prior to even commencing on a journey are afraid of failure. However, if we are prepared to tell ourselves that failure never exist and that there is only progress of an outcome and a feedback of where we have reached, we will view the perspective of the journey differently.

If we reach for Pluto, and if the journey only take us to Jupiter, never frat. That outcome didn't mean we have failed. We are more than half way across the universe. Let's learn from that journey and what we did that was inadequate for us not being able to reached our destination. Persevere and positively know the outcome and the feedback and eventually, we will reach Pluto.

This is one "presupposition" that we need to take along with us. Our lives are dotted with journeys of various sorts. We must be prepared to have a mindset that we can never fail but have just made progress and continue to make the progress. And destination is a never-ending journey as when we reach one, there is another waiting for us.

Learning State And When It Is Most Effective

Learning State in the context of Neuro-linguistic Programing

Neuro-linguistic Programing. NLP in short. This is a very powerful personal transformation technology. There are many tools that can be applied in various areas to make changes to behavior(s) for personal transformation. We are hugely unconscious operated beings. Most of what we do at all times are carried out without us knowing those actions. For example - our heart beating laboriously away without us knowing it until we are bought to realize it. Now you can feel the temperature of your body and the difference of that temperature and that of the space around you. Perhaps, as you read this blog, you are becoming conscious of the weight of your feet. Even just before now, you were unconscious of your breathe and the air that was passing in and out of your nostrils.

NLP deals largely with the unconscious mind. When we are conscious, we are not at our best learning state. Babies and infants learn best at their age and the reason is purely because they have no resistance and filters to learning. Their mind is like a sponge!! Absorbing everything that comes along, right or wrong contents.

Having understood the last 2 paragraphs, as parents to young ones, as teachers to pupils, it makes a huge difference for either the parents or the teachers to use the right language. "Communication is the response we get". If we use the proper language, babies, infants and children will be brought up with the right attitude and behaviors. When a child grows up in a family contained with problems, nothing but just problems, the chance of this child becoming an adult with an appropriate outlook in life is slim. He or she is unable to integrate into society. A tall order indeed and how true most of the time. As parents and teachers, we hold heavy responsibilities in the things we say and do. We are role models to the young ones. Young ones going through their imprinting years taking in what we say and do literally without filters. Therefore, when they grow up and they do behave different than how we wish them to be, let's ponder who is at fault that might be. Be careful what how we carry ourselves in front of these kids!!

There is an enormous resource on NLP and its practical applications in every aspect of life-issues, business, politics, sports, education, therapies, coaching, negotiations, modeling, management, relationships, selling, building rapport. As this blog progress, many aspects of NLP and its applications shall be shared.

Parts Integration - An NLP Tool

Parts Integration

Parts Integration is a simple NLP and yet speedy Intervention Process.

Everyone of us exists in many parts. When it comes to decision-making, the parts show up very obviously. Self-questioning like, " Do I buy the car or not. I love it but I am not quite sure if I should." Watching the language is an quite easy to identify whether the parts exist. The use of the word "BUT" shows that the person has a conflict within. Each part exists for the interest of the whole. However, each of these parts is controversial and conflicting with the other or others thus contributing to indecisiveness and restraints. There is a built-up of confusion and doubts. These conflicts have to be resolved. Otherwise, that state may led to continuous disintegration of the person's personality and well-being.

It certainly sounds familiar. Many a time we have been at such crossroads before. Multi-personalities are extreme cases of parts.

NLP has a tool that helps to resolve conflicting roles within a person. This intervention is known as "Parts Integration".

The following video shows how the induction is done. Mind you, the person undergoing the induction is fully aware of what is going on and what is being said to him. Therefore, there is no trickery or mind-control. He is purely in a heightened state of deep relaxation and awareness.

Applications of NLP

Today was another new day where I was invited to speak to a group of NLP Practitioners with regards to applications of NLP in their daily lives. I first facilitated them to set out their outcomes for the day. Thereafter, I went on find a common one amongst the group that we could discuss. Many of them do not realize that they were already using some of the techniques.

I shared with them in particular on the following three segments -

1)My initial involvement;

2)My gestation period; and

3)My eventual breakthrough.

At the end of the 3-hour session, intentions and outcomes were met. It was very
fulfilling indeed, realizing that they feel more confident on how to apply NLP in their work.

NLP coaching was the breakthrough that I discovered in the applications of NLP. I find that NLP can extremely compliment our professional skills in a variety of ways. It compliments just about any convention or alternative therapeutic discipline.

It can assist us in executing our professional skills in a more focused and systematic manner.It helps to create the kind of deep rapport that enables others to quickly move to far deeper core issues simultaneously enhancing our insights and empathy with people we are connected with.
