Howdy ..
By now you should have some awareness of NLP and that it works by subtle influence .. but many people want to know how to start learning in a way so that they get some results fairly quickly. The best way I know of is repetition. Things that you repeat over and over again so that you can develope patterns to follow and not have to think about every word.
Ever looked at your feet while walking ?
Think about where to place your foot ?
Are you walking with good mechanics ?
Do your feet point in or out as you walk ?
try it ..
.. makes it harder to walk huh ?
But walking and NOT thinking about your feet is now natural to you and that means that you are NOT changing your physical behavior.
So .. the rule is :
Focusing internally is essential to learning but produces difficulty in being natural. Keep this in mind because EVERYONE who quits trying to learn because it doesnt feel natural is missing this point.
I like to isolate and deconstruct so I take each lesson and make it like a module that you can work on in specific terms. One of the most fundamental principles in NLP is
stress words. Stress words are the ones that you vocally add more stress to in order to make that word the prime point. We talk this way naturally so as you learn to manipulate your own language you will be able to use this right away.
Here is an example , take an ambiguous statement ...
Quote:
That will put some cream in your coffee
and speak it
OUT LOUD with stress on the words in bold.
That will put some cream in your coffee
That
will put some cream in your coffee
That will
put some cream in your coffee
That will put
some cream in your coffee
That will put some
cream in your coffee
That will put some cream
in your coffee
That will put some cream in
your coffee
That will put some cream in your
coffee
.. now you can evaluate which one is the
least sexy sounding and which one is the
most sexy sounding.
Think about that !! Which one sounds the most sexy ? It's just an ambiguous statement ! How can that sound sexy ? Well ... it wont get you laid all by itself but when you start practicing this technique and realizing that even the most unassuming thing can take on a sexy feeling to it then you really have something.
That is the Key to NLP .. it is
never what is actually said on the surface .. but rather
all the possibilities that could be just b-low it .. ha !
Have Fun
