***What Is Neuro-Linguistic Programming

Neuro-Linguistic Programming™ (NLP™) is defined as the study of the structure of subjective experience and what can be calculated from that and is predicated upon the belief that all behaviour has structure. People such as Virginia Satir, Milton Erickson and Fritz Perls had amazing results with their clients. They were some of the people who's linguistic and behavioural patterns Richard Bandler built formal models of. He then applied these mo

The Past Does Not Equal the Future

Many people are going through tough times. I'd like to say to those people: whatever is happening now is only your current reality - the residue of past thoughts, feelings, actions, events... With the speed of an email or a phone call, things can turn around for you -tomorrow, in a week, in a ...

Finding Your Happy Place - Mark J Holland NLP Mind Coaching

“Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.”rn- Jim Rohn Perhaps you are one of those people who are thinking just now, “You can’t tell me to be happy. I don’t have to be happy if I don’t want to be. Isn’t this supposed to help me find my true self? What if I’m just not a happy person?” If you are one of those people, think about this: not being happy makes you happy. Aren’t you happy now? “Happy” is an extremely subjective emotion. What makes one person happy will not necessarily please someone else.

4 Practices Necessary to Achieve Abundance in Your Life

Abundance is a hot topic these days. In one form or another it has always been around, though the way it is articulated changes. Justifiably so, plenty, prosperity, and a life full of good things is something we all want. We all want to manifest abundance in our personal worlds. Abundance is as much an attitude as it is something objectively identifiable. It is a feeling, a sense, a comfortableness with who we are and what we have. Paradoxically the sense of abundance often precedes getting the things we want. Abundance eludes the desperate and dissatisfied.

Visualize the Life You Really Want Using Your Imagination

Guided visualization is perhaps the most powerful form available. In this method, you act as the captain of your visionary ship, guiding yourself through the images you conceive as though they were actually happening. When using guided visualization, it is especially important to set your timer, as it is easy to become caught up in your visualized reality. To perform guided visualization, you need to do a bit of preparation beforehand.

Can People Move Beyond Behaving Badly?

“Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly, and they will show themselves great.”rn- Ralph Waldo Emerson The way you treat other people is a reflection of your own attitude. You cannot expect to sustain a positive attitude by acting negatively toward others. Even if your positive mood is not returned, you must strive to retain a sense of dignity and enthusiasm.

WHO CAN OR CANNOT BE HYPNOTISED?

Who can be hypnotised? The vast majority of people CAN be hypnotised. And, in my opinion, the most important element is willingness. People love to say that they can’t be hypnotised but really, it’s a case of won’t rather than can’t. The client needs to be willing to use hypnosis. During the initial free phone or Skype consultatio I do with prospective clients, I check for the following things: rn~ whether they expect it will work.

Do We Dare to Dream or Follow Our Dreams?

As we grow up we, well most of us, seem to turn into adults with adult outlooks. What I mean by this is that we tend to put up with what we have and settle for something less than we could have ~ if only we dared to dream. What stops us, or someone you know well from stepping through our self imposed boundaries and finding they might disappear as if by magic?

Abundance: Appreciating the Wealth of Our Senses

Our senses are our connection to the world. They are the sum and substance of all individual and shared experience. They are necessary to our survival and effectiveness. They are also tools to be utilized to enhance our appreciation of all that surrounds us! One of the necessary steps to abundance is appreciation (see my previous article http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/4_practices_necessary_to_achieve_abundance_in_your_life.html). Part of how we appreciate our experience is by paying attention to our sensory experience.

Latent Wisdom: Discovering What You Know

I believe that most people know more than they acknowledge or utilize effectively in living their lives. This latent wisdom has been alluded to, partially, by various notions including “trust your gut” and “pay attention to your intuition.” It also appears in those moments when you just automatically respond to a situation successfully and later wonder, “How did I do that?” The fact is we often hide our latent wisdom from ourselves. We do not use the resources, skills, talents, and good judgment that we have learned in living our lives. We ignore our latent wisdom.

Where Social Fear really comes from...

The origins of Social Anxiety, shyness and fear have often been the subject of debate. Where does it really come from? A person’s genetic make-up, bad parenting, a chemical imbalance or learning and experiencing. If you have done any research on the subject you will find that among experts there is a general consensus that the cause is multi factorial and most if not all of these elements play a part at some stage. Being from an NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and change psychology background it’s my opinion that the vast majority of the problem comes from learning and experience.

Sometimes we run… Your relationship with your goals: Part 1

Everything we do is goal directed, whether we are pursuing success, accomplishment, satisfaction, service, love, acceptance, or simply comfort and the absence of pain. Goals are always with us, whether consciously acknowledged or not. We seek them, achieve them, fail at them, savor victory, suffer disappointment, or retool to pursue a new choice. We each have a relationship with, or a way of relating to, our goals. Indeed our relationship to any particular goal we have may be different at different times.

How To Know What Boundaries Are?

Many books have been written on the subject of boundaries. Is it possible to be an I and still be a We? Where do I end and my partner begin? Many of us have been pondering this notion. How do I get close without getting lost while in a committed relationship? Many believe that the lack of knowledge of where one begins and ends in relation to where another person begins and ends is called co-dependency and is a negative thing to be avoided at all costs. I have noticed that all working relationships have some degree of haze surrounding the boundaries of the persons within it, i.e.
