NLP Exposed

By Lan Thomas


Neuro-linguistic Programming or NLP is process in by which individual try to attain their self actualization through communication. This is the mental programming in skill development in tackling real life experiences. Goal planning goes through various processes before thr actual implementation.

NLP shapes an individual behavior especially that learned through what has been experienced. There has been a lot of controversy trying to explain this concept because people tend to associate it to both success and failures in life. The subject entails a close balance between success and failure where success is seen to originate from copying others.

The study of NLP is as confusing as the human brain and the more one delves into the subject, the more they unravel complicated issues. This is a method humans use to choose what is appealing and that which is not helpful in ones life. It is the middle ground between what one believes as beneficial and what others have embraced leading to making critical but independent choices.

NLP is defined as the part of human being that through experience can be used to achieve specific set goals. When we imitate a person who is a hero, we only imitate his or her present state and not his entire past life. Our brains tend to pick on what is humanly possible to imitate and forget how we arrive at the state that we achieve.

The programming through NLP looks at what one has achieved and does not concern itself with how the goal was achieved. The process of arriving at a set goal or perfection is more important in life than just finding yourself at the top. Imitating other and doing what they do does not make you equal to them. You need to go through the entire process to be the same as they are or even better.

The NLP processes help in developing persuasion skills in humans, how people work or function and deal with the issues of counseling, coaching and therapies as well. It also helps in creating friendships even if it is for convenience sake. When our mind is programmed, we exude confidence and are able to build short term relationships with people next to us albeit for a short period. Speeches are born of the confidence that NLP helps us built and plays a major role in team participation and individual realization of life long goals.

The brain programming does not mean that people do not thing or function independently when making decisions. The process involves a lot of imagination and it differentiates the creative individual and the less creative. When people get ideas in their mind, they look for channels to communicate the same to others and this is one of NLP functions.

NLP is not an act of controlling the mind but a facilitator to enable others improves their lives in appositive way or in a more cognitive way. The concept is based on therapeutic change is a short period of time. NLP rides on the outcomes of verbal techniques applied in scenarios to effect positive change.
