Welcome to the exciting and diverse world of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) to use in your daily life.

If you choose to put any of the techniques and strategies in the beliefs of NLP into practice, I can guarantee that the wonderful person you are will expand, and you will have such control over your life, you will be amazed.

From the moment you are conceived in your mother’s womb, you are gathering information from stimuli you receive about the world within your current home, the womb, and about the world outside of your womb.

You also have influences via DNA that you have acquired from all peoples in the past with whom you have been genetically connected in any way, no matter how brief or how long that encounter may have been.

Even at this point in the womb, you are learning behavioural patterns to apply to conditioning that has begun to form who you will become when you leave the womb.

These behavioural patterns are the way you perceive them to be necessary for your mental, physical and spiritual survival.

It is not necessary to debate here whether these learned behaviours are the result of osmosis (here I mean genetically transmitted), whether conscious deliberation plays a part or whether there is a subconscious awareness that kicks in.

It is not necessary for the purpose of this article to get that specific, scientific or metaphysically accurate.

As you develop in the womb and your faculties evolve, you develop more and more behavioural responses to the ever-increasing stimuli in your world.

Learned responses that are repeated and reinforced develop into subconscious behaviour even when you are out of the womb.

Anything that we really know and anything that we do repetitiously, we know on a subconscious level that means, we don’t need to put much, if any thought, to action such behaviour.

Here are some examples:

• your daily routine from waking up to when you head out the door for work

• getting to your place of employment

• arriving at your place of employment and not being aware of the journey

• going into a room to fetch something, but forgetting what it was when you got there

It has been said, that most people live a significant part of their day in a trance, operating on automatic pilot.

When you leave the womb, your conditionings from all the  new environments you are now exposed to, become very significant.

This conditioning to the stimuli from the various environmental sources continues throughout your life. Some you are consciously aware of and others are subliminal in impact.

The secret is to be aware of what is going on and how you are reacting to the stimulus taking steps to alter your reaction should you feel your reaction to be a disempowering one.

Sometimes we attract circumstances, not so much by what we deliberately accept and do, but often by our inaction.

NLP gives you the resources, knowledge, and practical tools, that if you choose to apply them, you will not only eradicate negative patterns of thinking and behaviours on a conscious level, but you will also be able to deal with subconscious patterns so that you can learn how you do what you do.

This means, that you will be in a position to do what you really want and achieve the results you dream of and deserve.

NLP provides ways of helping you become more competent at what you do and more in control of your thoughts, feelings and actions, thus being more in control of your reactions and behaviours.

You already ‘do‘ aspects of NLP, because the ultimate goal of NLP is its practical application.

Each one of you has unique resources within you, and so each one of you will apply the methodologies of NLP to suit your personality and needs.

NLP has changed over the years since the term was originally coined.

Everyone who has studied NLP has made certain aspects her/his own and different from those of their original mentor, that is the beauty of NLP, it is not a stagnating, theory-based methodology.

Whether you use NLP technologies in business or as a personal development tool, it is the tool that will make the difference.

The purpose of learning NLP is to generate a desire for further learning and further self-expansion.

What you will get out of your association with NLP will be determined by your attitude towards taking responsibility that you are in charge of what you learn and how you live your life.

It is you who is responsible and accountable for your behaviour and how you create your life.

NLP opens up the doors showing you that you have unlimited choices should you choose to see them.

Studying NLP and adapting its technologies using my personal formula has enriched my life and the lives of those around me more than words can describe.

You are in for an amazing journey of self-expansion and fulfilment.

Enjoy the ride with me.
