What is NLP?
I love this description that my trainer Cherry Successful Minds Institute gives:
At its core, NLP is based on the idea that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours are interconnected, and that by altering our thought patterns and communication styles, we can create positive life changes.
To break it down a little further:
Neuro: A word you might recognise, neuro in this context refers to how your brain processes information from your senses, creating a map of your thoughts and experiences.
Linguistic: The language we use in our thoughts and when speaking to others (negative, positive or somewhere in the middle).
Programming: Our resultant behaviour as influenced by our neuro and linguistic processes and experiences.
An example of programming might be frequent negative self-talk influencing us to doubt our own abilities. But if we flip the script and reframe the negative to positive, in our words and our mind, we can start ourselves on a journey towards transformative and lasting change. That is the power of NLP. ✨✨✨
