and get the outcomes that you desire there are more than a dozen NLP
presuppositions but in this video I'm going to cover three you might be asking
what is an NLP presupposition is it a belief how many of you actually think
that NLP presuppositions are beliefs if so type yes in the comments below
not exactly some people might take them on as beliefs but I don't like that I
feel like it's a little too rigid and NLP is not like a religion it's not a
it's not something that you subscribe to and just automatically believe without
testing NLP is basically what works for you is based on that idea of you only
using what works for you so if presupposition isn't working for you you
don't use it and not all presuppositions apply to all situations in your life the
way that a presupposition works is think about anything that you pre suppose you
presuppose the Sun is going to come up tomorrow if the weatherman tells you
it's going to rain this evening then you kind of presuppose that it is you don't
necessarily believe it is and if it doesn't happen it's not like you have
this evidence that flies in the face of your belief and you
go into crisis or anything like that it's more just a light a loose way of
holding an assumption about something that's going to happen or that things
are a certain way all reality is subjective we will not we don't know
reality we don't know reality objectively it's always being filtered
through our subjective reality so because that is true we can then place
filters or lenses on how we look at things we're all sort of experiencing
the same soup of life but everyone has a different take on it and some people
have a great attitude about it and they think life is great and they're enjoying
it while others are seeing life as something that's miserable and hard and
you can put these same people in the same town the same situation give them
the same amount of money and people will always have different mindsets about how
they perceive the reality that's going on around them so you want to take
charge of this and NOP presuppositions help you do that and like I said you
don't want to do this in a very rigid way you don't want to say okay this is
how it is NOP presuppositions say this so this is gospel and we must do it this
way no we're not we don't want to do that what we want to do is we want to
take presuppositions and lay them over how we're perceiving certain situations
to give us more opportunities to access more ideas more insights than what we're
currently doing right now so you might be you might be saying well why put any
filter or lens over this at all why don't we just remove them all well you
really can't because we're always applying some sort of filter over what
we're experiencing we're taking in information through all of our five
senses and those themselves are actually filters because there might be more out
there than what our senses can actually pick up and then from there there's so
many assumptions and beliefs that you've been creating since you were a kid that
all of this information gets filtered through so you can't really take off the
lens there's always going to be a lens there but we can start making this
conscious about how we're doing it and then when we're conscious of it we can
change it so instead of the programs running us we run the programs within
ourselves and presuppositions or one way that we do that the first noir
linguistic programming presupposition that I'm going to cover is choice is
better than no choice now you might be thinking well duh that's obvious having
choices is better than having no choices but how are you actually perceiving
situations in your life if you're if you feel like you're stuck in a certain
situation or certain context in your life maybe it's work or your finances
maybe it is in your personal life with maybe a relationship that you're having
a lot of times if we feel stuck we feel stuck because we feel like we have no
choice and a lot of times we will naturally narrow a situation down
because a lot of choices can feel a little chaotic and a lot of choices can
actually scare people and overwhelm people sometimes so we have a tendency
to like to narrow down our options so that we just go with something and that
can be useful too but if you're feeling stuck or if you feel like you're dealing
with a problem that you don't know how to get out of you don't honest all've
chances are you have limited your focus or you've you've narrowed your focus so
much that you're cutting out your choices so when you take this
presupposition and you apply it to that situation or that context and you say
okay choice is better than no choice what options do I have here and how many
do I actually have the reason why we've pushed these choices and options out as
we think that they won't work but get in the habit now of starting to look for
these options look for these choices and what this does is it trains your mind to
sort for this new information and when you start allowing in this new
information you start seeing these more more of these choices you will actually
go into a state of abundance rather than scarcity without choice you're in a
state of scarcity when you start adding more choices even if there you don't
think they're relevant and even if you don't think they're significant start
adding in choices start looking at what's actually there and your your mind
will naturally start to sort for choice and abundance and more opportunities
rather than limiting it give this a try you'll be amazed just do it for maybe
five or ten minutes write it down and then let your mind go let your mind
get curious and wander into all of these options and choices and basically what
you're doing is you're you're telling your mind to go in the direction of
abundance and opportunity and this actually does work so if you're feeling
like you're limited and you don't have any choices in a certain situation know
that you always have choices you just need to widen this scope and remember
this presupposition presuppose that there are choices here that you're not
accessing there they're the second presupposition is the meaning of a
communication is the response that it gets and this is a hard one for a lot of
people because we are often misunderstood by others we say something
and we meant it one way and the other person takes it another way and then
there's this backlash or they people get angry at you and you go no no you've got
it wrong I meant it this way when you apply this presupposition that the
meaning of a communication is a response it gets
now you take radical responsibility for how you communicate because what is the
purpose of communication it's not for other people to try to figure out what
you mean communication good communication the purpose of it is for
you to translate what it is you mean so if people aren't understanding it don't
blame them don't push it off on them take responsibility for it change your
communication keep changing it until it's very very clear what you mean and
that people are taking it that way now you can probably take any situation that
somebody's going to misunderstand this and misinterpret what you're saying so
it's not like you're trying to find the universal way to communicate so that
everybody understands what you mean a lot of times it'll be individual to
individual or group to group and instead of if the person comes back and says so
what you're saying is this and they're totally misunderstanding you the idea
behind this presupposition is to be able to be flexible and adaptable with your
communication so that you can keep changing up your communication until
your meaning does come across so this isn't about
creating the cleanest communication that everybody can understand and everybody
gets what you mean it's more about cultivating the adaptability and the
flexibility by taking responsibility for how you communicate when you start
thinking this way when you apply this filter to your communication and you
live through this understanding this will change the way that you communicate
you will become so much more powerful in your communication because great
communication like I said has more to do with adaptability and flexibility rather
than getting it right so don't think about getting it right focus on
cultivating that those resources of adaptability and flexibility and taking
responsibility for your communication if somebody doesn't understand don't get
angry at them don't blame them don't tell them it's their fault you take it
on as your responsibility and alter your communication there's a saying that goes
you can either be right or you can be successful or you can either be right or
you get what you want that applies here too it's not about
being right and it's not about proving someone wrong that what you meant is
this came through in your communication and they misunderstood it it's more
about what is the purpose of your communication and it's to get them to
understand what you mean and that's your responsibility the third and final one
is there is no failure only feedback now this is a hard one for a lot of people
because it's hard to detach your emotions from failing at something or
from not from having your expectations crushed basically so when you're
attempting something and you expect to succeed at it and then you don't we call
this a failure we feel bad about ourselves or a lot of times we turn this
on ourselves and we think it's because we're not good enough we're not worthy
enough we didn't we did something wrong and if we think that way then it becomes
a self-fulfilling prophecy our self-esteem goes down or we feel like
our worth is going down and so then we act that way we act like we're of low
Worth and or it could be a status situation so we feel like we're low
status so toss all of that out and start thinking in terms of what failure
actually means if you attempted to do something and it didn't work
that's just feedback that's just the information comes back as well that that
way of doing things didn't work what happens when you think of something as a
failure we the word failure itself tends to make it seem like it's an unmovable
fact like this is how it is and that's that but when you put it as feedback now
it's something that's still moving it's still fluid it's still ongoing so if I
wanted to make a million dollars this year and I made five hundred thousand
dollars this year that's not failure that's feedback that's me saying okay I
have to do things some things differently here in order to achieve my
goal but if I think of it as a failure then I'm stuck then I'm not learning
anything every time you don't get something every time you don't succeed
at something see that as a learning and the way to do that is to look at it as
feedback not failure it's just a matter of the outcome didn't didn't happen
based on what it was that you were doing so now I get that feedback and I say
okay looking at this feedback here's what I need to change or here's what I'm
going to try and then you try again you get more feedback and you just keep
doing this until it you get what you want but if you think about this as
failure and you turn this in on yourself then you will start to think in terms of
well it's not possible or it's not possible for me maybe other people can
do it but I can't because I'm a failure and that just takes you down a dark
spiral and you don't want to go there so as hard as it can be sometimes because
we do get emotional about not getting what we want or our expectations not
being fulfilled as hard as it is detach that emotion and say okay this is not
failure this is just feedback and I can learn from this feedback and because I
can learn from this feedback I can keep altering what it is that I'm doing until
I get what I want all right now you know what some of the NLP presuppositions can
do for you but you don't know everything that NLP can do for you and that's why I
