NLP In Layman’s Terms

Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP, is the integration of three important concepts in our lives. It is the combination of our neuro (brain) processes, our linguistic inputs of experience, and the programming that occurs between the two. As a science, it was developed in the early 1970s by John Grinder and Richard Bandler. By studying therapy sessions of some psychologists, they were able to determine certain patterns of thinking that helped in a patient’s success. They then theorized that anyone could be taught these behaviors. Thus, NLP was born.

The Language of Subliminal Messages

One of the questions I get asked the most is if English is not my first language, will English subliminal messages work for me? This is an interesting, and actually very astute question. I know that if I was to get subliminal messages in, say, Swahili, they probably wouldn’t help me, since I wouldn’t be able to say a single word in that language. So is English any different for someone else? The short answer is no, there is no difference. However, that is if the person asking does not know English at all. The answer changes drastically if the asker knows any English.

Remapping with NLP

There is much talk and discussion of remapping of the brain through the use of NLP. But what exactly does this mean? Remapping the brain is a way to change the pathways that your thoughts take in order to control your reactions to a given situation. Your brain is a complex system of pathways that are facilitated by electrical impulses sent between neurons. It has taken scientists and therapists many years to figure out exactly how the brain works and how these pathways affect us.

Tips to Get the Most Out of Subliminal Videos

The concept of subliminal videos has been around for a while now. Most people understand the basic principal of how they work. An image or message is flashed on the screen too quickly for your conscious mind to register having seen it. The human subconscious, however, sees and hears everything that goes on around it. It will then take what it knows and file it away in memory until such a time as it becomes necessary to recall it. Using subliminal videos effectively requires a bit more explanation, however.

Positive Affirmations for 2012

At the beginning of a new year, it is a very common tradition to make resolutions about how you would like to improve yourself. Using positive affirmations, you can accomplish any resolution that you would like to make. By definition, resolutions made at the beginning of the year are things that you want to do to make your life better, or to change. Commonly, these resolutions last for maybe a week. The reason for this is that people, in general, do not truly believe that they can change these things.

The Language of the Law of Attraction

The law of attraction is the universal belief that “like attracts like”. In general terms, this is a relatively easy concept to grasp. At its root, most people do understand that if you think positive thoughts, then you will attract positive things to you in life. Of course, the inverse to that is true too; negative thinking will bring negative things to you. The trick to get the law of attraction to work though is to ensure that you are using the correct language to define what you are trying to attract.

How Subliminal Videos Help

A few decades ago, advertisers decided to give subliminal videos a try in advertising. Most people have at least heard of this. The advertiser would show a commercial or series of images on the TV, but intersperse the longer seen images with a quick flash of the product. It was placed in such a way that the conscious mind never saw it. But because of the power of the subconscious mind, it was always seen by at least one part of the brain.

Construction of Successful Positive Daily Affirmations

Positive daily affirmations can be powerful for helping you achieve a positive outlook on life. The most important thing to remember about them is that they all have common components in them. If you look at some positive daily affirmations and take one at random, you will be able to analyze it and find the common thread that they all share. For example, look that statement “I am a positive influence to those around me”. If you divide this statement up into its three core parts, you will find the ideal formula for creating your own positive daily affirmations.

The Law of Attraction and the Wrestler

I recently came across a perfect example of how the law of attraction works. There was a freshman in high school who decided that he wanted to earn a letterman’s jacket in his first year of school. This freshman knew that he would have a fairly good chance of doing so by playing baseball, since he had played it for many years already. He changed his goal to earn this distinction in an entirely different sport, just to prove that he could. The freshman decide that he was going to try earning it in a sport he had never tried before: wrestling.

Positive Thinking Exercises

Willpower is a powerful weapon to have in your personal arsenal. With enough willpower, it is possible to survive traumatic experiences that most people wouldn’t think it was possible to survive from. For example, if you get into a car crash, you can just give up and let yourself go, or you can tell yourself that you will survive and be OK. In that situation, who do you think would be the most likely to survive? The person who uses positive thinking exercises to will himself to stay alive.

What is the right mindset for success?

Would you go into a mountain climbing forum and say, "I've never climbed a mountain and I'm a total couch potato but would like to read the top of Mt. Everest by the end of the month. Can you help me?" Of course you wouldn't. If you tried to climb Mt. Everest without the right training and preparation you probably wouldn't survive the experience. Yet people approach financial success in this same way. And when they don't reach their ridiculous goals they give up on wealth-building forever.

All it takes is one small step....

All it takes is *one* small step.... Start with the smallest of your desires and work up from there! WHY? Well, success creates self empowerment, which in tu creates even more success. This extra success creates evenr MORE self empowerment which in turn creates significantly more success... And so the cycle goes on.... The same is true for confidence, self belief and self respect. The point here is that if you can have *one* small success, this will give you the power to have another success...just a little bit bigger.

Success is an inside job

Your self-esteem is critical to your success. It can be hard to identify what exactly healthy self-esteem is. The signs of an unhealthy self-esteem are usually obvious. Someone who cuts themselves down a lot and is always afraid to make big decisions or use their talents doesn't have healthy self-esteem. Arrogance and boasting are also signs of a poor self-esteem, even though the person comes across as supremely self-confident. I think we all know our fair share of braggarts. It's hard to spend time with them. How many people do you know with healthy self-esteem?

Affirmations for Success

What is success? Success is the achievement of a desired goal. Unfortunately, that definition is quite lacking. If you decide that you want to eat dinner at 5 o’clock, and you do, does that make you a success? Most people would say that no, that doesn’t make you a success. But, they can’t say whether you are success or not. Only you can make that determination. The true definition of success is the personal achievement of goals in order to make you feel successful. And the best way to achieve that success comes from affirmations for success.
