Notes from the NLP coach.

Perisistance

I was talking to someone recently that had an amazing story. They had found themselves in a remarkable situation that involved working very hard over a long period of time. After several years of doing this they choose to move on and had a tremendous financial reward for that effort. Within the space of several months that was taken away through an unfortunate legal action. In the blink of an eye he lost millions... and what did he do?

He started again and is back to where he wanted to be after a number of years. He didn't lie down and complain about how terrible it was or poor him or anything else. He got on with the job and persistantly applied himself to the task at hand to achieve the outcome that he wanted.

Persistant action produces persistant results.

How to make 07 much better than 06.

By now quite a few people’s new years resolutions will already have died a death of neglect and things are into the routine of the way they normally are. The change that has been desired has been swallowed up in the routine of day to day.  Most people have gotten back into the swing of doing what they’ve been doing.

As the saying goes, “if you do what you’ve always done you’ll get what you’ve always gotten, if you want a different result you have to get something different”

So the new year is cranking along and the desire for things to change is still there. Yet you don’t quite know how or you need a bit of hand. Well, NLP is the most powerful vehicle for change available today. So here are a number of tips to make this year better than last year. This is what I do to make sure for myself and my clients they keep on getting better and better.

Have a set of outcomes

This may sound a bit redundant or weird but a lot of people don’t know what they want or they only focus on what they don’t want. As Aristotle said 3000 years ago ( and it’s still true today) man who aims at nothing will surely achieve it.  So you have to have targets to aim at. They need to be SMART targets, this was explained in a previous newsletter but can be explained by attending one of our training programs. They need to be written down and be something that you really really want. One you have the outcomes set you can go about getting them and bring all of your resources to bear, both conscious and subconscious onto the problem of getting what you want.

Have a plan

Someone once said if you fail to plan you plan to fail. In order to get what you want, you need to develop a plan on how to get it. Most of the time that plan changes and you end going about getting what you want in a very different way to what you thought you would but the process of setting out a plan is a very important one. It directionalises you effort and gets your subconscious working towards.

Take one step at a time

Notes from the NLP coach.

Readiness.

I was coaching someone recently and they were making good progress towards their goals and then things slowed down a bit. The mechanisms of sabotage kicked in and they continued doing a behaviour that they didn’t want to do.  They weren’t ready for the change and still desired the problem greater than they desired the solution to the problem.

It’s useful to remember, that a problem will continue only as long as the desire for the problem is greater than the desire for the solution. If you want a problem to go away you need to make the solution much better or the problem much worse before change becomes possible.

Notes from the NLP coach.

Celebration.

So often when I work with someone to acheive their outcomes they in a short period of time achieve thier outcomes. Then there comes the what next mind set.... what do I do now that I have what I want? The answer is pretty simple... CELEBRATE....That's right throw a big party or have a quiet celebration with someone special. This is so important. You have acknowledge the milestones that make the journey worth while. Acknowledging the journey and the steps you have taken allows the next journey to be more lightly undertaken.

I would like to wish each and everyone a happy Australia day. I hope you celebrate Australia day in the way that you feel is most appropriate for you and that make you better appreciate this wonderful remarkable place that we call home. 

Kind Regards,

Over and over again, when coaching people with various needs I see the tendency of the mind to re-present problems for resolution until they are resolved.

However, each time a problem is represented it is done in a more forceful manner.

Someone I was talking to recently had a goal that they wanted to play netball for the Australian time. She is a very determined person and worked very hard and trained very had and by the time she was 21 she was representing Australia at netball. An amazing achievement. Immediately afterwards she began having one injury after another until several years later she was forced to retire. When I talked her about this, she said that after the national anthem was played she said to her self… I’ve done it now. And her subconscious was listening.

So, if something keeps coming up like getting injuries or anything repetitive that can be loosely classed as a problem, this is occurring for a reason.

Once you uncover the reason you can let it go and the problem will stop occurring.

If you have a problem that keeps on occuring that you want to stop having it reoccuring, then call and book in a coaching session and you too can get the quick and lasting change that my clients report.

Kind Reegards,
