Neuro Linguistic Programming

hm.. the malayian politics are getting so draggy that i shall now start blogging sumthing which interests me and tele with my blog title.

and that is prolly time for me to start blogging about neuro linguistic programming, NLP.

NLP is founded by Richard Brandler and John Grinder in 70's, it is a series of procedures developed to help people make positive and desired changes in their lives.


Iwas introduced to NLP during my time i was doing coaching. And it's something that interests me and something that i don't get bored of.


The NLP concept works on how the brain works. There is the concious mind and the sub-concious mind, and while many of us focus on the learnings from our concious mind, we neglected the impact of how much our sub-concious mind can do for us. If you do an extensive research, you will find that 95% of our mental processing goes thru our sub consious mind instead



And this is where NLP taps on our untapped power.



first of all, NLP makes a number of presuppositions. Presuppositions or assumptions are the beliefs a person will find useful in effecting changes to themselves and/or to the world.



i'll state the more important presuppositions;



1. If someone can do something, anyone can do it.
2. Behind every behavior is a positive intention.
3. People already have all the resources they need to overcome their challenges.
4. The map is not the territory.
5. You cannot fail to communicate.
6. There is no failure, there is only feedback


actually there are a couple more presuppositions, go do a google and you'll be able to find out more. I personally like the last presupposition the most "there is no failure but only feedback"

Most times alot of us are focusing too much on the negative feelings being associated with non-success and then naturally neglect the valuable learning aspects that comes along with it.

hm... that's a start from me right now... more to come once im done with my mid term exams.
man... working and studying at the same time aint easy!

but guess what, i have enough resources to deal with that.
