I've been gearing up for the NLP practitioner training starting this
weekend also there is an online option there's one slot available I'll mentioned more
about that later what do you want to learn and what is something that you
want to learn that just seems too big too enormous or when you think about it
you just say to yourself I don't think I can do that it could be a foreign
language it could be learning NLP it could be becoming an artist a painter a
writer writing a novel writing a screenplay making a movie all these
things that are big dreams of ours that we fear that we don't have the capacity
to learn well you do and there is a way that you can do that and there's a
simple NLP technique for that now I'll be honest with this enormous training
that I'm doing it's a twenty four day training stretched over eight months and
I'm doing an online version to it I'd be lying if I said that I didn't feel
overwhelmed by this I mean definitely feel overwhelmed by this and it's a huge
challenge and I love to challenge myself I love to put myself in situations where
I actually ask myself can I really do this how am I going to do this and
there's a simple way it's called chunking and it's going to sound overly
simplistic but it's a lot of times it's the simple stuff that we overlook and
that is the way to go and doing something when I think about doing this
training or when I was thinking about doing this training I saw this as a
visual when I think about how overwhelmed I was it to me looked like
something that was too close to me I was like a big ship or something and I
couldn't see the whole thing it was like when I visualized it it was like too big
to see the whole thing you know when you're close
something you can you can only see what's right in front of you can't see
the whole object so what I started by doing is is I pushed the object back so
that I can see more of what it was and so I can get a whole visual of it and it
that's what it looks like it will take this huge ship with like writing all
over it like NLP teaching and maybe some of my training notes and things
like that so it's like this enormous ship with all this writing on it and
then what I started to do is I started to divide the ship into thirds and
then each third we divide into two and what I would ask myself is what two
things do I need to do to complete that one third and if that was still
overwhelming if that was still too much I would break that down into
more pieces you keep chunking it down until each little piece is digestible
each little piece is small enough that you can handle that task and then it
just becomes about doing one of those tasks and when that one's done you do
the next one first though you have to deal with that feeling of overwhelm and
how you do that is is you figure out where and what
representational system is the overwhelm being triggered by in this case for me
it was a visual I saw there's like huge ship so whenever if it's a visual you
want to push it back from you and get more distance from it so once it is like
this big blob right here and if you're too close to it if I'm too close to it I
can't see the whole thing so I push it back and then once I push it back then I
started looking at it and I'm also when I do this I might write on a board or
might write on a piece of paper I'll divide this into thirds and then like I
said I can divide this into more if I need to I can continue doing this and as
I'm doing it I can fill in what needs to be done in these spots what might also
happen for you though is you might not be visual and the overwhelm might not be
triggered by something in visual representational system in this
case for me it was but in other cases it might not be if you're very auditory you
may be hearing a lot of things when you think about learning whatever it is you
want to learn you might be hearing a lot of sounds you might be hearing a lot of
voices they might be coming from all different directions it could be some
critical voices telling you you can't do it so what you want to do here is what is
probably happening as you're hearing everything all at once you're going
either on sound other ones or other voices all at once or you're hearing a
combination of sounds and voices what you want to do is you want to stop the
you want to slow it down and pick out each sound or each voice and hear what
message it's delivering to you again you'll probably need a pen and paper and
you want to write this down so here each sound or voice individually and it
sounds really simple but what happens is most people are not even conscious of
this they're not even conscious of seeing some big visual image they're not
even conscious of like hearing all these voices of hearing all these sounds but
if you check in with yourself or you start with that feeling of overwhelm and
then you trace it to where is it coming from if your very visual it's probably going to
be in your visual system if you're very auditory it's probably going to be
probably hearing something so slow that down some people are very kinesthetic
and they might be feeling it in their bodies and this happens to me too I'm
pretty visual but I'm also pretty kinesthetic so what feels what it must feel
like to you is like you're a bunch of hands are grabbing at you or you might
be feeling like you're pulled in all different directions you might even be
feeling like you're being pulled apart I've had that feeling before it does not
feel good some of you might be thinking well I feel overwhelmed so it must be
happening in my kinesthetic system and that's not necessarily true
you want to differentiate between what is the result of the trigger which is
the feeling of overwhelm that is a feeling but that's an evaluative feeling
that's not a feeling like a tactile or pulling on your body so you want to
distinguish is it a feeling like overwhelm which is
evaluation of something and is that being triggered by something else is it
being triggered by visible is being triggered by something you're hearing so it
might be triggered by a feeling a sensation of being pulled in multiple
directions when if you have that feeling more than likely it is in your
kinesthetic system but if it's just like oh I feel overwhelmed well what you have
to go and find what system is it being triggered in so if it is being
triggered in the kinesthetic system you probably will have that feeling being
pulled in that direction in that direction and then over there and over
there again what you want to do is you want to stop and feel one at a time each
pull or each like if it does feel like a hand or if it feels like something like a
gravitational pull pulling you away you want to locate that feeling where is it
and what direction is it trying to pull you to go in so once again once you
know what directions each one is trying to pull you in and again you'll probably
need to write this down you want to prioritize well what direction is it
most important what is the meta direction what is the overall direction
that all the other world directions kind of serve and you just need to prioritize
and it might be you might have to categorize these two different things in
two different places like okay well that might be from a completely different
context so I need to put that feeling over there and know that when I'm in
that context then I go that direction but in this context I go with that
direction this will take a lot of confusion out of it when you chunk
anything down small enough you can learn anything you can accomplish anything so
once you do this and you have it all written out go for it
check out my website NLP-gym.com there you will find some free
training on sensory acuity which is the foundation of NLP training it's a
foundational skill also like I mentioned there is one spot left for the ultimate
practitioner training online version you can learn at your own pace I'll be
