NLP - What is NLP

What Is NLP?

NLP is the practice of understanding how people organise their thinking, feeling, language and behaviour to produce the results they do. NLP provides people with a methodology to model outstanding performances achieved by geniuses and leaders in their field.

A key element of NLP is that we form our unique internal mental maps of the world as a product of the way we filter and perceive information absorbed through our five senses from the world around us.

• Neuro: Each individual has established their own unique mental filtering system for processing the millions of bits of data being absorbed through the senses. Our first mental map of the world is constituted of internal images, sounds, tactile awareness, internal sensations, tastes and smells that form as result of the neurological filtering process. The first mental map is called ‘First Access’ in NLP.

• Linguistic: We then assign personal meaning to the information being received from the world outside. We form our second mental map by assigning language to the internal images, sounds and feelings, tastes and smells, thus forming everyday conscious awareness. The second mental map is called the Linguistic Map (sometimes known as Linguistic Representation)

• Programming: The behavioural response that occurs as a result of neurological filtering processes and the subsequent linguistic map.

So in short, NLP is a science of human understanding which can be use to achieve anything.

'Feel good' decision making

Let me tell you a story of initial phase of my start up. Now you all know how start up works. In most of the cases there are ups and downs, its not exactly what we call a smooth run. (If it was a smooth run, will it be same fun?). At that point of time i was one among those people, who would easily get frustrated when things are not going as planned.. And guess what i was also one among the people, who take it out on others. (Common you have to agree, everyone have their time with it). One of the things, i got aware of while being in this phase was - every time when i got frustrated and took any decision - it was not on the productive side. For example, once i got so frustrated that i decided not to go ahead with the company. It was only the next morning when i realized that i had -what was i thinking?- time. So with this i realized whenever i was in 'a not so good state', i always made 'not so productive decisions'. And when i was in a good state i always made productive decisions.

Here is exercise for you

Step 1: - Every time you are about to make a decision ask this question to yourself .... How am i feeling? .. What are the feelings you are going through?
For example - IF you are about to make a decision to break up, just after you had a big fight with your girlfriend. Check with what emotion you are going to make that decision.
- If you are about to make a decision to not trust your co-workers just because some work is not being done. Check the emotion

Step 2: - If you realize, with however you are feeling, it's not useful to make the decision you are about to make, then make a choice - with what emotion you want to make that decision ?
For example - If you are deciding weather to break up or not, you may first decide to be in a more positive state and then make that decision. (May be happy/fun etc )

Step 3: - Get in your desired state - then make your decision.

Before you make any decision always have 'feel good' emotion. You will realize how amazingly it will help you to make a better decision.
