Preparing You For Success

Tim Brunson asked:




This whole issue of gene expression is a very fascinating hypothesis. Although I completed a course with Rossi a couple of years ago and attended a course by another psychologist around the same time, I don’t see the idea catching on with other researchers.

A lot of Rossi’s ideas on this subject concern altering gene expression based upon environmental inputs. Indeed, stress would be an example of such an input. A stressful situation would result in the generation (or production) of “stress proteins.” Such stress proteins can interfere with optimal performance and ultimately produce psychosomatic illnesses.

Remember Rossi, who is primarily a psychologist, is exploring is at the human genome and DNA levels. As DNA is essentially proteins, what he is saying is that experience (a.k.a. “nuture”) can restructure DNA. This is contrary to many of Myer’s comments (which he often contradicts). This is also in line with what the histology professor, Bruce Lipton Ph.D. is saying about cellular activity being influenced by our thoughts.

I feel that Rossi’s core message is that there is a relationship between novelty, gene expression, neurogenesis, and numinosum – the experience of fascination, mystery, and tremendousness that motivates our lives. Essentially, he is saying that such arousal creates a corresponding alteration of our DNA, thereby producing proteins that affect our physiology to include our brains.

The logical extension of this theory is the therapeutic model that involves four steps. The first he calls Data Collection. This is the initiation or sensation stage. This leads to an incubation stages in which there is an induction of a feeling or arousal. Before the next stages there is a period of private, creative inner work, which leads to the third stage of illumination. This is where the client/patient achieves insight or breakout. (I also call this the ah-ha, enlightenment or intuition phase.) This allows the subject to relax and enter the final verification stages where reintegration and thinking. (The stages are Data Collection, Incubation, Illumination, and Verification.)

Therapeutically, I like to view this as getting a subject to “step out of their box” and to confront sufficient challenge allowing him/her to enter an adaptation phase. I allow the subject to relax and let an “inner answer” emerge. This will be followed by a conscious recognition of the “learning” achieved. What Rossi does is to present a very scientific analysis concerning why this occurs.

One last note is that although Rossi has written volumes about psychotherapy and hypnosis (especially Ericksonian hypnotherapy), this latest work was AFTER he experienced what should have been a disabling stroke. I sincerely feel that his rapid recovery and the writing of his greatest work were due somewhat to the application of this theory.

The first key is to have a positive mindset about life in general.

The more positive energy that flows through your home the better.

Then you have to decide that you want to change the way you deal with negative situations and behavior in your child. One method of making that change is called New Behavior Generator and here is how it goes:

1. Make sure you have at least a half an hour during which you will not be disturbed and sit comfortably or lie down.
2. Choose a person whose behavior you admire, someone who you would like to model. This could be another parent who’s parenting technique and patience you wish to emulate.
3. Close your eyes and picture that person clearly. Imagine a situation in which that person is handling a parenting situation. Pay attention to everything about that person, including the way they look, how they speak, how they hold themselves, their mannerisms, and their gestures. Make sure you want to model that behavior.
4. Now it is time to start over and imagine that situation again, but this time imagine that you are in that person’s place. As you handle the situation in your mind, adjust any negative aspects of your behavior to match that of your role model.
5. Now you need to actually look through the eyes of this person/yourself with your own eyes and see yourself handling the situation like your role model would.
6. Once you open your eyes, you are the new you. You are the person who handles situations in this way. You must keep that image of yourself firmly planted in your mind. As you move on with your day, note how it feels to be that new person.
7. Now you want to anchor that feeling by making a gesture that you will associate with that feeling. You can make a thumbs-up sign or a fist or whatever works best for you.
8. Begin using the new behavior immediately and be consciously aware of your behavior so that you can make adjustments as you need to. Soon you will be that new person!

These are some great NLP tips that can be practiced by you to achieve success with positive mentoring on your child to derive win win outcomes.

Our thoughts are the most powerful aspects that influence our mind set for achieving success. If a person transforms his mindset from negative to positive, he gets much closer to achieving success. This transformation can be done by using subliminal messages. These messages have facilitated millions of people to achieve their goals in life and become successful. Subliminal Messages were previously used by advertisers. They used to flash messages during the movie so that it could strike the subconscious mind of viewers for reminding them of having the same in the interval. This helped them to increase the sales rate to a great extent.

Subliminal Messages to Achieve Success

Subliminal messages can assist people greatly in improving themselves and boosting up their self confidence. Once their negative attitude gets converted to being positive, they can drastically get attracted to their goals which can help them in succeeding in their life. Generally, these messages are unseen and out of sight and are sited in the images that consistently affect the thoughts in the mind. People can make use of subliminal software packages in order to get closer in achieving success.

For instance, if a person wants to enhance his typing speed so as to come first in a competition, he can use the software and store the message in it. The software will flash the message quickly in fractions of seconds like 40 – 50 times in a minute which will directly strike the subconscious mind of a person. If the person gets these flash messages 10 times a day, he will definitely get closer to achieving his goal. The repeatedly flickering message will help to enhance the typing speed and will facilitate in achieving success. So, opt for subliminal messaging and achieve your goals.

Most people have some goals in their life, but unfortunately most people never achieve those goals. NLP teaches you how to have well formed outcomes rather than goals as goals are just that a goal, whereas an outcome is the actual outcome of having achieved that goal.

You need to have well formed outcomes and be able to imagine how you will feel when you achieve that outcome. By having well formed outcomes in your life you can create well being in business, personal life and relationships.

If there is any area in your life, whether it is business or personal, which you want to change for the better then by creating an NLP well formed outcome you can begin to work toward that by getting by using NLP techniques.

Your outcome should be something positive as our bodies do not process negatives. So for example, if your outcome is to lose weight you need to look at it in a positive way, your outcome should not be to lose weight but it should be to be slimmer and fitter. You need to look at the positive end result and focus on that, you don’t want to focus on any negatives.

Your outcome needs to be measure by your senses – sight, sounds and feelings. You need to be able to measure your progress so that you will know if you are on the right track to achieve your outcome.

Your outcome needs to be something that is self initiated and self controlled. You cannot rely on others to change your life for you so it needs to be something that you can have control over. You need to rely only on yourself to achieve your outcome.

You may need to be flexible to achieve your outcome. By using your senses and measuring the progress toward reaching your outcome, if your senses tell you that you are not getting any closer then you need to be flexible in your approach and change your approach if need be.

The next step, and a very important one, is to take action. You can have all the dreams, goal or outcomes in the world but they won’t get you anywhere unless you take action. One big reason that many people don’t reach their goals is because they procrastinate and don’t take action.

NLP techniques can teach you how to motivate yourself and get yourself to take action toward achieving your well formed outcomes. Outcome based thinking enables you to visualize the precise outcome before you begin the process of working toward the outcome. NLP teaches you to set goals and keep them in mind right through the negotiation process.

It is important when working toward your outcome to not get disheartened if you aren’t reaching your outcome as fast as you’d hoped. Many people will feel that they aren’t reaching their outcome and may give up. While people that use NLP skills will look at their progress in a more positive way and look at how far they have come toward reaching their outcome and feel good about how far they have come. That is the great thing about NLP skills that they give you energy and motivation to keep going and realise your dreams.

Shezz P asked:




What exactly is NLP or Neuro Linguistic Programming? Six months ago I had never heard of NLP, however since I discovered it my life has changed dramatically.

I work as a ghost-writer and a while ago one of my clients asked me to write a report about Neuro Linguistic Programming. I had never heard of NLP and had no idea what it was, so as part of my job I started doing research on the topic.

This particular job changed my life, as while doing research I studied and learned many of the NLP techniques. These are techniques that can retrain the way that your mind thinks and change the way you behave and respond to situations.

Every decision that a person makes in their life is made from your past experiences. In other words, your past experience influences all your decisions and so if you have had many bad experiences in the past, then those influences can cause you to make bad decisions. As a result of which you will most likely continue to have bad experiences.

This is not something that a person does consciously; no-one wants to make bad decisions on purpose. It is something done in the sub-conscious. So how can you change sub-conscious?

Neuro Linguistic Programming teaches you the skills and techniques that enable you to do just that. You can retrain your mind to rethink past negative situations with a positive view and therefore have that positive view in mind when sub-consciously making future decisions.

I know that sounds a bit confusing and perhaps even a bit far fetched. I certainly thought it was a bit far fetched and too good to be true, but as part of my research I decided to give the techniques a go.

These techniques really did work for me and has enabled me to deal with situations in my life that I previously didn’t deal with very well. I can now handle stressful situations in a much better and calm way than I did in the past.

NLP techniques can help you to improve many personal skills as well as business skills and can change your life immensely in both of these areas.

If there is any area in your life at all that you would like to change then I definitely recommend giving Neuro Linguistic Programming a go.

You can thank me later!!

Michael McGrath asked:




Self Hypnosis And One Principle Can Bring You Success!

Would you like to increase your level of success? Would a better life make you happier? Is happiness your goal? Self hypnosis can help.

All of us desire more success in life regardless of how successful we may already be. The human race has an inbuilt desire to reach past their limitations and strive to reach horizons which keep expanding. Self hypnosis has become a popular method for helping us reach our dreams.

It is a sad fact that many of these people, in fact most of them, even those who use self hypnosis do not understand the main principle of success and therefore achieve very little satisfying results!

Self Hypnosis Success

Only about two percent of the world’s population use this principle and they get fantastic results. It is just as possible for you to join their ranks when you use this success principle. The only limits you have are those you impose upon yourself when you use this principle in conjunction with the power of self hypnosis. Do this and you have the self hypnosis success principle that will help you achieve all your dreams.

I am about to tell you what the success principle is that you should use with self hypnosis to achieve your dreams. Read this carefully or you may initially feel you have read all of this in vain!

The principle is simple – you must know what you want! Although you may feel that this is no secret or even a principle for success you should not underestimate its power.

If you ask people randomly to answer this question you will get the usual responses – “having more money”, “better relationships”, “higher paid and satisfying job”, “being happier” etc. Now these answers may seem ok and even appropriate but are they? However, they rarely answer the question satisfactorily very much like a politician doesn’t.

So some want more money. How much is more? Exactly what amount represents financial success? To the ones that want better relationships I ask this – better in what way? Do they want more friends, lovers, a soul mate? What qualities would the person and relationship have?

If they want to be happier with their current relationship how do they define that happiness?

What about those people that said they want a better job or to be happier in a job that liked. Well do you think they know what type of job would make them happy?

Probably the most ambiguous answer you will hear will be the response “I want to be happy”. Then tell me what happiness means to you!

Are you starting to understand the power behind the self hypnosis success principle?

The Real Reason for Failing to get Results from Self Hypnosis

Most of the people who fail to get results from self hypnosis or any self improvement tool are usually aimlessly seeking one thing after another with no real concrete goal!

If you want to get to New York you must know in which direction it lies. Likewise, if you want success or results from self hypnosis you must know where you want to go and what you desire from its use!

Once you have a clear definition of what success means to you, you can begin to build a picture of yourself living this life with all the success that you currently desire. From this mental image you can begin to work backwards in your mind and contemplate how you reached that place.

Once you know what you want you can research how other’s got it. You can use your mental image of success to motivate you into action. Use self hypnosis to program this picture into your mind at a very deep level to act as your blueprint for your future.

You can also use self hypnosis to emulate the behaviours of those who have already achieved the success you desire. Self hypnosis can even be used to help you eliminate negative beliefs , behaviours and feelings as well as instill new ones.

Immediately after reading this start to identify your real desires and form them into a solid mental picture of success. Program this picture into your mind using self hypnosis and any other self improvement tool you have.

Make this picture bright and vibrant. Think about it at night and in the morning. Recall it during the day and ensure the vision is strong and detailed enough to create positive feelings. Use hypnosis MP3s or CDs to imprint this image into the subconscious mind.

Self Hypnosis Works

Try toi fully utilize the self hypnosis success principle! Be precise in what you want. Build a vision of it and then program this vision into your mind with self hypnosis. Then watch as amazing things begin to happen in your life!

Clayton Deeds asked:




Mind control techniques are the best methods in persuading someone to what you want. During earlier times, people were more outlandish when considering strategies in conquering another person’s mind. Others would go as far as casting a spell or a curse on someone in order to catch their attention. Nowadays, people can simply incorporate different psychological processes to control the mind of another person. With the ability to master these techniques, any person can reach his goals in life without having to exert a lot of time and effort.

To practice these techniques, it is essential to be very observant when it comes to your chosen target or subject. Do not be too obvious about your intentions in manipulating the thoughts of another person. Be subtle and carefully observe the actions that you must take in order to gain the trust and rapport of the other person.

Being too forward will eventually turn a person off and may cause you your chance of affecting their personal decisions. You can also consider conversational hypnosis that will allow you to enter the person’s subconscious state and eventually command them to act according to your liking.

This practice is considered to be one of the most effective and most powerful ways of controlling someone’s mind. Clearly establish the concept of authority when it comes to other people’s impression towards you. When people regard you as their leader, it is much easier for them to act in accordance to what you need and desire in life.

Steve Bauer asked:




Sally emailed me asking me to clarify the distinctions of Process, Pattern and Content.

These three terms confuse beginning and advanced NLP students alike – chiefly the process/content distinction.

I’ll share with you my definition. It’s VERY likely for other trainers to disagree with it. Adopt it if you find it useful.

Pattern
In the context of NLP, a pattern is a predictable unit of behavioral sequence.

Now what the hell does that mean?

Gregory Bateson defines the pattern as follows in Steps To An Ecology of The Mind:

any aggregate of events or objects (e.g. a sequence of phonemes, a painting, or a frog or a culture) shall be said to contain a “redundancy” or a “pattern” if the aggregate can be divided in any way by a “slash mark” such that an observer perceiving only what is on one side of the slash mark can guess with better than random success, what is on the other side of the slash mark…. Or, again from the point of view of a cybernetic observer, the information available on one side of the slash will restrain) i.e. reduce the probability of) wrong guessing.OK, now that we have the jargon and the abstract out of the way, let’s try this in English.

Let’s say that you touch James’s hair and he gets angry. Hmmm, interesting… Then, you notice later that Tim touches James’s hair and he gets angry again. Wow, what’s going on here? Another time, Tara touches James’s hair and he gets angry again.

At this point, you’ve noticed a pattern. How can you tell? Because you can semi-accurately predict that anytime someone touches James’s hair, he gets angry.

That’s the structure of a pattern. Anytime x happens, y happens. Anytime someone touches James’s hair, James gets angry.

To use Bateson’s slash mark, it looks as follows: someone touches James’s hair/James gets angry.

Now, if you were to watch only half of the movie (someone touching James’s hair) and paused it, you could accurately predict the second half of the movie (James getting angry).

You’re surrounded by patterns. The chorus of a song is a pattern, which you can predict time and time again. You probably brush your teeth and dry your post-shower body in a pattern, knowing accurately what comes after each stroke.

Anytime x happens, y happens.

Process vs Content
Now on to the feud! Here we go…

Were John Grinder talking to you, he would undoubtedly argue that this IS the NLP distinction in therapy.

Once again, let’s hit an example to make this more obvious than Leonardo DiCaprio walking around in Uganda.

Karl needs therapy, according to him. The reason for this, he tells you, is that his father beat him when he was a kid.

This last piece of info is content.

A psychotherapist trained in most modalities would likely dabble into content to perform an intervention. This would involve exploring Karl’s relationship to his father, reliving some of the beatings, trying to understand why his father beat him the way he did, etc.

Enters the NLP-trained therapist.

This therapist will explore how Karl represents the problem situation. In other words, what does Karl do to make himself feel bad? Does he make pictures? Does he talk to himself? Does he hear certain voices? Does he experience kinesthetic sensations?

Once she has identified that Karl talks to himself and then feels bad, the therapist will explore HOW SPECIFICALLY he talks to himself. How loud is the voice? Where in space does it come from?

Then, the therapist will guide Karl in altering the way he talks to himself. He will lower the volume. He will move the voice around in space. He will accelerate the voice. He will change its pitch. All the way until Karl notices that he no longer feels bad when he continues telling himself the exact same things he used to.

In other words, Karl is now processing the content differently.

NLP-trained therapists can perform an intervention on a client absolutely blind to the content, that is, without having a clue as to what the issue is. You can read many examples of this in Frogs Into Princes.

So content is what happens. Process is the way we represent what happens.

Summing it all up
There you have it. Process, Pattern and Content.

Process: The way we represent what happens.

Pattern: Anytime x happens, most likely y will happen.

Content: What happens.

Simple, huh?

Basically it is techniques for mind, body and spirit. In a nut shell it is about your self talk.Whether you know it or not your brain is all ways talking to you.

Neuro Linguistic Programming (N.L.P.)can help you make sure your self talk is positive and help you have a positive mind set.
This self talk could be the difference between success and failure,and how you handle setbacks. Your self talk will be the difference between whether you let the adversities in your life get you down, or making you strive forward and over come what ever set backs that you may encounter!

It will decide if you are the type of person who see the glass have full or half empty! Every successful person I can almost guarantee you that had positive self talk, whether they did it subconscious , or consciously. From Bill Gates to Arnold Schwarznegger ,They knew how to put themselves in the right mindset to reach their goals and this is what Neuro Linguistic Programing helps you learn to do.

Every self help coach now teaches some form of N.L.P. All self help coaches now know that positive self talk is the fastest way a person can gain a positive mindset to help achieve their goals in life. The only way any self help and self change can take place is if you mind is total convinced you can achieve what your are striving for and to become successful you absolutely need to totally believe you can!

With out a positive self talk you cannot achieve your goals in life. Some people seem to have this positive self talk going on instinctively, others(like myself) have to learn to bring about this kind of mindset.

That is why we read all those self help books,and take all those self help courses,to try to learn how we can get are conscious mind to tell are subconscious mind we can improve, we can become more, we can achieve our l dreams, our life mission and life passion! So remember, before you can self improve,you need to learn how to have positive self talk, and the way to do this is threw “Neuro Linguistic Programing”!

Success Begins in Your Mind.

If you are having problems attracting the Law of Attraction, it could be the negative self talk and doubt constantly playing in your subconscious mind.

If you mindset is negative, that’s what you going to get. But…if you have a positive outlook and believe good things happen, then you are half way there.

Most people have a negative voice inside of them that constantly nags at them, constantly doubting.

People who are rich think differently about money than people who are poor. Its not that anything is any different for the people without money, they just don’t believe its easy and doubt on a very deep level that it is going to work for them. Whereas rich people believe its easy.

But its very easy to change from failure to success. When you think the way rich people do, you Attract money the way they do.

The easiest and fastest way to change your thinking is with hypnosis. Hypnosis works by changing the thoughts that play in your subconscious mind. Using self hypnosis audios is the easiest way, you just download the audio to your mp3 player or computer and just relax whilst listening to the powerful positive messages that are absorbed subliminally. This kind of hypnosis is very powerful and helps to change the constant negative thinking that has built up over the years.

If you are serious about tapping into the Law of Attraction, here are a few things you should consider:

• Don’t listen to radio and television news with its constant negativity.
• Avoid negative people who **** the energy out of you.
• Try to associate with people who are more successful than you.
• Read positive books, and keep them handy.
• Avoid negative gossip articles and websites, don’t engage in negative gossip about others.

Its all about our thoughts and our thinking and keeping it positive. So be careful what you think.
