you get your life back on track things were you know with this whole pandemic and lockdowns and
you know not being able to socialize and probably not being able to execute your career or whatever
it is that you do as well as you do or in the same way that you do and now it's finally starting to
come to come back to normal you want to make sure you you hit the ground running and you really just
get that get things back into on track get things back to normal and not just to normal but better
than normal like let's let's use this as leverage to catapult yourself to a better place by using
these nlp techniques so whether you're a coach or or just someone who who enjoys nlp and finds
it effective and you like using it or maybe you're a practitioner these three techniques
are the three that i use so often so much that i even forget that i'm using them sometimes so
uh you will definitely want to put these into your tool kit and use i would say probably about every
three months would be a good amount to use these techniques that's about how how often i use them
now before i get into what those techniques are if you find yourself liking this video make sure
you give it a thumbs up and if you haven't already and you've been watching my videos like a lot of
my videos and you haven't subscribed yet like what are you waiting for just hit that subscribe button
and the bell so you'll be notified when i put new videos out and if you're wondering what i'm giving
away for free in this video you can always check the description down here below i know some of you
get really impatient maybe some of you don't want to hear every single word that i say but you still
want to benefit from what is that i'm talking about here so yes for every one of my techniques
that i will be talking about in this video you will be able to find something in the description
to take it to the next step to take it further to to use it and to really put these techniques into
practice in your life the first technique that's going to help you get things back on track is the
well-formed outcome so another word for this would be goal setting but not just goal setting this
process takes goal setting to the next level most of the time people aren't achieving their goals
and one of the reasons why is they do not flesh out like really what their goal is what it means
to them how to get started creating a good strategy for it and that's what a well-formed
outcome does there could be unconscious reasons why you are sabotaging yourself while you're not
taking your your goal to the uh to the finish line using a well-formed outcome before you even get
started on the goal is one of the best things you can do for yourself do the well-formed outcome on
every goal that you have and what you'll often see is that the goal itself changes it transforms you
start to realize well wait a minute that's not quite the goal that's going to get me to where
i want to get to and that's one of the many great things that a well-formed outcome can help you to
realize so what does that do for you that saves you a tremendous amount of time and energy in in
and not having to go chase something that wasn't going to do it for you anyway it wasn't going to
fulfill you anyway i wish i had had this before i had done so many things in my life because i could
have saved myself a tremendous amount of time and i could have achieved the goals that really were
valid and meaningful to me so that's what a well-formed outcome will help you with it'll help
you understand strategy uh for your for achieving your goal it will help you understand do you
really have uh are you really congruent with this is it ecological for you in your life are there
inner resistances or outer resistances that you're not paying attention to and finally like how to
get started what are the first steps you need to make sure that every step is something that you
can execute on that is within your control because if you leave anything out that's to something
that's outside your control then you're just working from hope and really what you're working
from is hopelessness so you want to make sure that every step of the way is something you can execute
and control and again that's what the well-formed outcome will help shine light on and it will make
your life so much easier if you do a well-formed outcome before you start any goal before you start
any endeavor i highly highly recommend you use the well-formed outcome the nlp well-formed outcome
number two is a values elicitation now some of you who know your stuff who uh you've done uh some nlp
work you might say well wait a minute isn't the value solicitation part of the uh well-formed
outcome yes and no in the well-formed outcome the value solicitation is often uh referred to as
meta outcomes so meta outcome meaning you go a little bit deeper about what your goal is what
the purpose of your goal is you know like saying well what would that do for me if i achieve it but
that's usually where the well-formed outcome stops a good value solicitation will elicit
many values moving all the way into like these very high level values like passion joy freedom
peace these are some really high level values and they're very powerful just to even think about
them you know probably gets you really excited so if you are eliciting these values from the goal
you want to achieve you're packing all of that power you're packing all of that motivation all
of those uh values that are so important to you and you're connecting them to that goal so you're
connecting all of this motivation to achieving that goal now once again just like the well-formed
outcome when you elicit your values on a goal that you want to achieve a lot of times about 50
of the time you'll go back to that goal and you'll go wait a minute what i really want is i want to
fulfill these values that's always what a goal is a goal and not just a goal but any behavior you do
is an attempt to fulfill a value something you want to experience a lot of times when
people elicit their values they'll realize that the goal itself that they were chasing is not
going to do it for them it's not going to fulfill those values a lot of times what people realize
is that goal that they were chasing was really because other people wanted it so they thought
it was important or other people wanted it for them like parents or a spouse or just in general
in society we think it's good to own certain things and so we'll set a a goal based on that
and then we'll achieve it and we'll be like well i don't know why i worked so hard for this because
you know i'm not fulfilled by this i'm not enjoying it values are the key
to the fulfillment so some people will say well no damon i just really want to achieve this goal
i don't care about the values well there's always what you believe achieving that goal
will fulfill for you that is the value so let's define what a value is according to my mentor
steve andreas a value is a generalization about an experience that is important to you so it's not
the car so much that you want it's the experience of having the car that you want so
if if having a car or buying a car a brand new car is your goal it's also the same for
a house or you know anything that material possession that you want but it doesn't
stop there it also goes for any accomplishment that you want let's say you want to lose weight
well it's not the weight losing the weight itself it's the value you're going to experience by
losing that weight being healthier health is a value so if you're fulfilling the va your
value of health and your attack and that's really important to you and then you're attaching that
to the strategy of losing weight that's going to be more powerful but it will go even deeper than
that you you'll be able to elicit even more values out of that so many times when i elicit people's
values they are so surprised that even some of the smallest things that they want go so deep but most
of your values are unconscious most people have no idea how deep their desires go and and how
unconscious their values are and so when you do the solicitation it suddenly brings us all to the
surface and you make those connections consciously which is super powerful your values are motivation
themselves that is what motivation is you don't do anything without motivation motivation to fulfill
a value or a set of values so it's really really important that you know what those
values are and anytime you feel yourself losing motivation for achieving something all you have
to do is reconnect with those values remember why you're doing what you're doing and that motivation
will come rushing back to you and you'll never run out of it and because of this what i often
say and people go what when i say this but you do not need willpower and discipline to achieve what
it is that you want in fact those are crutches when you truly know what your values are then
you will do the hard work you will make whatever sacrifices are necessary because your your eye is
on the values not on the accomplishment and not on the strategy most people are way too focused
on the strategy and the goal itself and they're not connected to what those higher values are so
elicit your values and connect with those values and there's nothing you can't fulfill in your
life and last but certainly not at least is the swish pattern most people even if you don't know
anything about nlp you've probably heard of the swish pattern it is one of the
oldest techniques in nlp and it's also one of the ones that has survived the longest because
it is incredibly powerful and if you know what you're doing when you use a switch pattern
it's extremely effective unfortunately most teachers most schools teach the swish pattern
wrong and i was taught by multiple teachers how to do the switch pattern wrong and it wasn't until
i encountered my mentor steve andreas where he kind of smacked me upside the head figuratively
not literally i couldn't get the switch pattern to work and whenever i he taught me or he told me how
to you know what i was doing wrong i was just like wait a minute that's not how i was talking he was
like well how were you taught and i told him he's like well no that that's i can tell you right now
that's not going to work and and here's why and this was actually one of my very first videos on
youtube um was about the switch pattern and since then i've done a few more i highly recommend that
you watch them uh it's a very simple technique but like i said most people are doing it wrong most
people are teaching it wrong and if you know how to do it right it will make all of the difference
the swish pattern is mainly about overcoming a compulsion or a habit and that compulsion can be
overeating it can be smoking it could be uh quitting too easily or procrastinating
like these are a lot of our compulsions that we do that gets in the way of us
becoming who we want to be and achieving what it is that we want the swish pattern can
reset this for you and it's just extremely powerful because it takes that what the what
it is you're doing when you're compulsed and it rewires it and resets it by switching up an image
of an ideal you who you want to become and so you're redoing your programming inside your mind
you're literally rewiring no not really literally you're figuratively rewiring your brain so that
when you feel that compulsion it immediately gets swished the images inside your mind
get switched to an ideal image of yourself so it breaks that compulsion and now you want to
move toward being that you who you want to be and you're motivated to be that you who you want to
be so you don't procrastinate you don't overeat you don't smoke you go toward the you the ideal
you who you want to be now you again you really need to understand how this works and and do it
correctly because if you don't it will not work and when it does work it's amazing because it goes
unconscious again this is not something you want to practice like daily because once you
do it once you program it in you want to let it go you want to let it become unconscious so that
your you don't think about these things and you don't negotiate with yourself when the compulsion
would normally come up the ideal image comes up this happens all unconsciously it breaks the
compulsion you move on with your life if you're constantly having to negotiate with yourself
whether or not to procrastinate whether or not you want to overeat whether or not you want to smoke
or any of those things if you're constantly having to negotiate with yourself about that you're going
to lose that negotiation sometimes and you're going to go with the compulsion rather than
what it is you want to do to you know become who you want to be and accomplish what it is
that you want to accomplish you want this to become unconscious you want to wire this in
you don't want to have to negotiate every single time you want to be unconscious so
you don't have to negotiate and that's what the switch pattern will do for you i do recommend
watching those swish pattern videos that i've done and i will link those videos to
this video so that's the three techniques like i said if you check the description right here down
