Gym the number one myth about NLP trainings before I get into this if you
haven't already please click subscribe to this YouTube channel so you can get
these videos on a regular basis also coming January 6 from January 6 to
January 20th is open enrollment for my online NLP practitioner training I will
also be doing some free live online NLP training which will happen January 9th
January 10th and January 11th right here on this YouTube and Facebook channel
stay tuned for that what is the number one myth about NLP training I think it
really boils down to it's a common myth among many things that we
learn or we're supposed to learn this idea of knowing so let's unpack the word
know what does it mean to know something I can know something without being able
to do it I can know how to fly an airplane if I watch classes or videos on
how to fly an airplane but it doesn't mean that I can actually do it so when
people say I know NLP because I went to an NLP training
what does that really mean exactly I've been practicing yoga for 10 years when
somebody says oh you know yoga always find that the sound really odd and there
was a time when I practice martial arts and he would say oh you know karate or
you know martial arts and again I found that to be really odd because I don't
think of that as a knowing as a cognitive or intellectual knowing it's a
practice so the number one myth that people have about NLP trainings is that
they're going to know in help when they're done with the training but
again what does that mean exactly and I think it's easy for people to market in
LP trainings that way too to say you will no NLP when you go through this
training again what does that actually mean will you know the concepts but does
that mean you also be able to implement it is that does that mean that you'll be
able to use and I'll be effectively on the fly and in real situations or does
it mean that you'll be able to use NLP effectively on yourself the truth is at
the end of an NLP training you're not going to be that effective at
NLP and that's just normal that's like that's when you learn anything you're
not going to be that good at it at first and as I mentioned in my previous video
NLP trainings are more a demonstration of NLP it's the start when you finish a
practitioner training your journey has really just begun when I finished my
first practitioner training I was honest enough with myself to know that I did
not know NLP in the sense of being able to use it effectively and the first time
I took a yoga class even months after I've been practicing yoga I didn't think
of myself as knowing yoga I think I wasn't that good at it the same with NLP
so this idea that you can take an NLP training like a practitioner training
and then you know NLP and then you're done which is I think what many
Institute's try to sell they try to sell that certification like it's something
tangible like it's something you can just go buy off of a shelf it's just not
the case we are attracted to that it's very attractive to think that we can
just show up at a training and if it's a week long or two weeks
long when we walk out of it then we know NLP but we don't and I've seen this of
the several NLP trainings that I've attended and resource coach and even
taught if you don't practice it you don't know
NLP you may have certain cognitive understandings of NLP but that's not
going to do you much good NOP is like Yoga for the mind you cannot just watch
videos on it and are show up to an NLP training and then say I can do this no
you have to actually practice it I apply a lot of the principles that I learned
in practicing yoga to practicing NLP it has to become a regular practice your
body begins to take on a different feel in a different way of movement
and a new flexibility a new strength and a new balance when you practice yoga and
it comes to the point where you don't have to really think about it anymore
anymore you just do it you know P is the same way you will begin to after a while
just start to use it I'll be naturally even unconsciously once you've practiced
it enough but it takes a lot of conscious practice to do that it takes
actually years of conscious practice before you get to the point where you
just do NLP naturally all the time I have had people say to me after having a
conversation with them start picking apart apart the things that I said and
said well here's where you use this pattern and that pattern I had no idea I
was doing that but if you practice for long enough that will start to happen
think about learning a language if you went to a two week three week four week
intensive to learn a different language say Spanish you would definitely be able
to speak some Spanish at the end of that but if you didn't continue to practice
if you didn't continue to have conversations with people who know
Spanish your Spanish would start to fall away and go and you wouldn't be able to
speak it anymore and everything that you learn would go away however there is a
threshold at a certain point if you practice long enough if you practice a
different language long enough you will permanently remember at least a large
enough chunk of it that you can use it at any time and that's how NLP works as
well after long enough practice eventually it
becomes you it becomes a part of you and you will use it
without even thinking about it and that's the point that's the part where
you want to get you're not going to get that out of one training and that is the
major myth I think our assumption a lot of people believe going into an NLP
training is that they don't need to practice
after they're done with the training that they've got it with that where else
does that ever happen in life certainly doesn't happen learning a language
it certainly doesn't happen when it comes to physical fitness exercise
martial arts anything else you learned so NLP is no different you have to
practice it and you have to practice it enough and you get to a point where you
just do it naturally check out my website NLP-Gym.com follow me on
