channel so you can get these videos on a
regular basis think about all the
devices that we use in personal
development things like vision boards
goal-setting even walking on hot coals
affirmations does any of this stuff
really work imagine if you were able to
take all of those things things like
vision boards your goals your
affirmations what would it be like if
you were able to program that into you
sort of like in that movie The Matrix
when they want to learn kung-fu so they
just download that right into their
minds what would it be like to take
those personal development devices and
techniques and whatever else like the
visualization stuff and just actually
program that into you what if you could
program affirmations into you what would
that be like more on that in a moment my
mentor the late Steve andreas used to
make a metaphor or an analogy about
where you live and what you surround
yourself with so if you think about it
if you're at home right now or if you're
in your office or at work look around
you
what do you decorate your surroundings
with so if you're at home you probably
put pictures of your family around you
probably put little statues if you're
very religious maybe it's religious
statues or different religious symbols
what about your furniture I'm sure you
have furniture that looks nice and that
it's comfortable comfortable for you to
sit or lie on and also you might have
music you might have speakers around
your house and you play Pleasant music
is that where you really live though
where do you actually live and where do
you actually work because at work you
probably do the same thing you probably
have pictures of your kids around you
depending on your workplace and you
probably try to surround yourself with
as much positive influences as possible
you in your workplace you probably have
Awards you probably have trophies of
things that you've won to remind you of
your successes but where do you really
live and work do you really live in your
home do you really work in your office
no you live inside your mind you live
inside your neurology yes you do live
inside your body but your mind and body
or one the same there is no difference
between your mind and body you can't
have a mind without a body and you can't
have a body without a mind and if you
had a body with no mind you would have
no awareness of your body so the two are
really one in the same and we could also
say that that's your neurology you live
in your neurology you live in your mind
you're taking in all of this information
through your five senses and then you
represent or represent that information
inside of you you see images in your
mind you see movies in your mind you
hear voices you hear sometimes critical
voices sometimes you hear encouraging
voices you might even hear music you can
hear him really fast-paced music or you
can you can hear really slow melodic
music you might even hear nature sounds
and what does your body feel like well
there's the body where if you're taking
care of your body you probably feel good
if you're stretching and you exercise
and then there's the states that you
experience or you're experiencing
positive states or negative states are
you experiencing emotions like worry
fear anger this is where you live we can
make our home as comfortable as we can
possibly make it we can surround
ourselves in our physical home with
images and trophies anything that makes
us feel good and the same in our
workplace but that's not where you
really live I know this from my own
personal experience and I know this from
working with my clients we tend to put
our attention
on the things that we don't want we
think about we visualize that stuff that
we don't want we we hear critical voices
we experience that fear worry anger as
much as we would like to think that
we're focused on what we want we often
are not in my initial coaching sessions
with anyone my first question to them is
what do you want
and usually we spend anywhere from 15
minutes to the entire session getting
clear about that because the first thing
out of their mouth is everything that
they don't want and then I have to after
a little bit of hearing that I say okay
now stop I know what you don't want you
know what you don't want what do you
want instead and it's amazing to me how
very little clarity and focus people
have about what it is they actually want
so what are they decorating their real
home with if you're very clear about
what you don't want and it's normal by
the way let me also say that - why are
we very focused on what we don't want
because we are the descendants of our
ancestors who survived and how did they
survive thousands of years ago they
focused a lot on that man-eating tiger
around the corner they focused a lot on
that lion or that woolly behemoth that
might attack them so they they had to
focus on these things in order to
survive but we don't live in those times
anymore but we're still hardwired for
that the great thing is is we have
something called a conscious we have
awareness and we can stop this we can
intervene we can change how we think we
can redecorate our interior home our
real home so think about that if I ask
you what it is you want and you spend a
lot of time telling me what it is you
don't want what does that tell me about
how you've decorated your true home your
mind that means you most likely have a
lot of images of what you don't want you
have critical voices telling you what
not to do you have these feelings these
emotions that you don't
want to feel but you you feel them
because you're trying to avoid them it's
a strange thing are you trying to avoid
what might create those feelings don't
get me wrong there there is value to
fear and anger fear and anger are their
great alarm systems they will wake you
up to a situation fear will wake you up
to something you need to pay more
attention to to watch out for anger can
wake you up to when something has gone
too far and you're fed up and you're
ready to change something but remember
their alarm systems so if you have an
alarm in the morning that wakes you up
you turn it off and then you go about
your day you don't take that alarm and
carry it with you blaring continuously
and you don't carry that with you
throughout your day to remind you not to
fall asleep you let it go you turn it
off and you move on so fear and anger
are good emotions to wake you up but you
don't want to decorate your home with
these feelings so that imagine that's
your furniture fear and anger guilt
shame that that's the the furniture in
your interior home for you to feel
comfortable that's not going to help you
out or your your mind is filled with all
these images of what you don't want and
you're these voices and these sounds of
everything you don't want know you want
to change all that and that's what
neural linguistic programming does and
makes you aware of how you are
decorating your interior home and how to
change it you think about affirmations
you think about goal setting which is
linguistic affirmations are linguistic
and then you write out your goals and
then you can see them so that's visual
your States that's your your feelings
that's the kinesthetic so NLP teaches
you to become aware of all of this so
that you can then change it and
redecorate it and the best part about
this is is that right now for most
people it's unconscious how you've done
this in your internal representations or
is all very unconscious and if you think
about that if it's all unconscious
you're reacting and responding
unconsciously to all of these these
interior representations that you've
created what would it be like if you
changed all that and instead of having a
vision board that you see twice a day
you live in that vision board that it's
already programmed into you and even
better if it becomes unconscious you
ever had those times in your life where
you were very focused on what you wanted
you had that vision board you were
trying to move toward it and yet the
more you seemed to try to work toward it
the more it seemed to elude you that's
because you had all this conscious noise
that you were bringing into it this
scarcity where you're like I need this I
got to have it but when you let that go
unconscious you probably had the
experience of when you finally let it go
and you forgot about it maybe a few
months later a year later maybe even a
few years later suddenly you have it
that's what that is when you allow these
things to go unconscious then your
conscious mind doesn't get in the way
anymore so you have to bring it into
your conscious your conscious awareness
to change it but once you change it then
you can let it go unconscious so what
would that be like if your interior home
your real home where you really live you
decorated with your vision board exactly
what you wanted to create in your life
who you want to become imagine if
instead of critical voices you heard
voices of encouragement voices of
telling you where the where options are
where opportunities are encouraging you
to take action and do the things that
you want to do the things that make you
happy
imagine if you could manage your states
so that you could feel the feelings that
make you feel resourceful feel the
feelings that encourage you to take
action energetic feelings
that's that kinesthetic part that's
that's that you could decorate your your
internal home with that furniture what
would that be like so this is what this
is why NLP is so extraordinary it's not
just about having these morning rituals
or vision boards it's living that it's
actually programming that into who you
are and then letting it go unconscious
so you don't even have to think about it
anymore so these devices are fine I'm
not telling you to not use them what I
am saying is is that there is a much
more powerful way to do this and that is
to build it in to your mind
build it into your neurology and that's
