What is NLP | Definition of NLP

What is NLP?

“NLP is an attitude and a methodology that leaves behind a trail of techniques.”

Richard Bandler

NLP was created by studying those incredible individuals who produce outstanding results. Compel this science of excellence in a way that anyone can get the same level of results just by modeling them.

To model the successful people, NLP studies how we structure our emotional and cognitive experiences, how we consider our values and beliefs and how we create our states of mind, and how we create our external world from our experiences and give them some meaning. No event has meaning in itself. We give them meaning, and different people may give the same event different meanings because we humans are the meaning-making machine. In NLP we study experiences from the inside.

So, what does NLP really mean?

• NLP is the study of human excellence
• NLP is the skill to remain your best more often
• NLP is the most powerful and practical method of personal change & development
• NLP is the most effective science of achievement

The three components of NLP are:

Neuro: represent the nervous system which takes in information through five senses, which are;

a.      Visual (Sight)

b.      Auditory (Sound)

c.       Kinesthetic (Touch)

d.      Olfactory (Smell)

e.      Gustatory (Taste)

By studying neurology we understand how our body and mind work together so that we can direct it toward more effective thoughts and behaviors, and create new neurological pathways that capable us to break through form old unresourceful mental boundaries.

Linguistic: becoming aware of how we use language within oneself and with others, and based on the internal representation system use language in such a way that it facilitates the positive changes in oneself and others.

Programming: The human mind works like a computer program and becomes habitual of some reoccurring patterns and behaviors. By identifying what programs are determining current experience, we can reprogram it by using specific tools and techniques and upgrade our mind for optimum high performance.

What NLP can do for you?

The psychologist discovers that all human actions are the product of their mental patterns or habits. All the things you learned to do are also the products of your mental pattern & habits. How you wake up, to how you go to work and spend your day, to how you work, and how you spent your leisure time. All these things have somehow become the parts of your habits or patterns and these patterns are very useful too because they allow you to do so many things without thinking about them, they also form the basis of creating new behaviors and recognizing unusual situations. But when these habits or patterns are not facilitating you, holding you back, do not lead you to produce the results you want, then there is a time you need to change such habits or patterns. With NLP you can change your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and replace them with the new empowering ones that will become just as systematic and regular as the old ones but a lot more enjoyable.
