is it possible that the way you speak the language patterns that you use and
the words that you use could actually be limiting you and keeping you from being
more successful and more fulfilled keep watching this is life mastery gym I'm

okay so let's talk about the L and NLP but before I get into this along the way
as you watch this video if you have any questions or if you have any comments
make sure you put them down in the comment section below and I will respond
to you when I first learned NLP everything seemed a little disjointed so
I understood the neuro and I understood the language part of it and I understood
the programming part of it but I wasn't quite sure how they all came together
and language seem to stand out sort of on its own it didn't seem to be
connected to everything else but what NLP really is about it's about mapping
subjective reality it's also about acknowledging the ways in which we map
reality already and then exploring that so I'll give you some examples every
language is in itself a different way of mapping reality music is a way of
mapping reality mathematics is a way of mapping reality you're giving symbols to
be placeholders for reality so if I say go left you know what that is based on
in space what that word means the direction to go I say right the same
thing we'd also used north south east and west but also if I say something
like Apple and Apple doesn't fly out of my mouth but you know what I'm talking
about you formulate the idea of an apple in your mind so I don't have to go and
point to an apple just to go find one I might not have one available but I can
just say the word so you know what I mean so in a sense I'm communicating a
reality to you that you understand and that's what makes communication amazing
and it's also what makes it great know clear your communication is the fewer
problems we and if you were limitations we have so
if you think about the purpose of language what is its purpose it's to map
reality and to give words to things so that we don't have to go grab the
territory I can just speak the map to you and you know what I mean without
having to show everything to you creating this map a map is only as good
as its limitations so if the map has a lot of limitations
then there's not a lot of possibility but if you can recognize patterns in
your language that indicates limitations which this whole thing is usually
unconscious for most people they don't think of their language as having
limitations or even patterns so if you can recognize limiting patterns in your
language then these are indications of limitations in your map of reality how
you perceive the world how you map your own reality and what you think is
possible and what opportunities are available to you so you can actually
create interventions through language and this is what they discovered when
they were creating nor linguistic programming as they learned how they
learned a set of patterns that you can recognize in your own speech or another
people's speech that you can then realize those limitations and also have
ways of challenging those limitations so can you actually create interventions
with language by noticing someone's language or your own noticing the
limitation and then intervening and breaking through that limitation yes you
absolutely can and that's what the metamodel is all about the meta model
was the first NLP model ever created and it is based on this idea of how we
distort delete and generalize reality through language and language is not the
only way that we do it but it's one way that we do it so when you hear someone
speak when you learn this when you learn NLP you can recognize their limitations
and if you're a therapist or coach or even in sales you can then challenge
those limitations and have that person access information outside of those
limitations so that they actually break through the limitation and into
possibility and another thing about language is it's also reflexive so not
only is my words and my language patterns or my words in my language
patterns indications of how I think and my limitations and my perceived
possibilities in my map of reality it's also reflective a rather reflexive
when I speak words and I formulate them a certain way it's sort of like they
bounce back and create those that that way of that it creates those limitations
and it creates those possibilities as I'm speaking it so it's kind of a
relational thing it's a relationship that you have with language so if you're
formulating patterns of language and words into limitation and you speak that
out into the world well you're also creating that limitation for yourself at
the same time so to speak it to say it that way
further confirms and reaffirms in your sense of reality those limitations and
then of course likewise the opposite is true too if you speak in possibilities
and opportunities that those patterns are reflexive as well those bounce back
to you and in which you confirm for yourself is greater possibilities and
greater opportunities so language is incredibly important it is one of the
most it's probably the map of reality that we use most in our lives and so
understanding language you then begin to understand how you map reality how
others map reality and of course that's good for influencing others it's good
for having mastery over yourself and so by understanding that and recognizing
those patterns you can break through them and the metamodel is not the only
one only model and NLP that deals with language there there are several of them
actually and it's good to learn as many as you can it's almost like learning a
different language and so you can recognize these patterns and then break
through them and for yourself and mastering your own life and then also
again if you're a coach you're in sales you're a therapist it's the same thing
it helps and getting through to having a richer map a map of reality that has
more choices and is more fulfilling so just like many of the topics that I
cover in my videos I could go on for hours and hours and even create full
trainings on this topic of language and how it can create limitations in your
life but it also can be reverse engineered to create possibilities and
opportunities and greater fulfillment in your life I'm going to go ahead and cut
this video short at this point but if you would like to work with me one on
one or in a group setting or if you're curious about what it is that I do go to
