What is NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming)?

What is NLPTo put it into one simple paragraph, NLP helps people make sense of their world, it teaches them how to change their behaviour and how to understand and motivate themselves to achieve excellence in all areas of their lives.

There are times when the internal representation of what we hold to be true or real, is sometimes distorted and outdated, and needs to be re-examined and upgraded so it can better serve us.

NLP is a very powerful tool that enables us to communicate with ourselves and others by observing styles of speech, action and behaviours, enabling us to be able to adapt successfully to any situation good or bad. Continue reading

Positive Affirmations

Positive Affirmation to Live by

DEFINITION: Affirmations are STATEMENTS or COMMANDS spoken either negatively or positively, the most popular use of ‘spoken affirmations’ are positive. They are spoken willfully and deliberately in order to help in the changing of some aspect of our life.

Powerful affirmationsNOTE: If you repeat your affirmations without emotion or without believing them, you are in actual effect affirming the opposite. Because of this, many people find that their situation worsens when using affirmations. It is very important to RESIST the temptation to think of the affirmation as not being true.

By accepting, believing and acting as if the affirmation has already been achieved, you will begin to ‘RETRAIN’ your subconscious mind to think positively; incorrect beliefs will slowly be replaced by the NEW affirmed statement or command. As you do this repeatedly you will ultimately begin to consciously create the life you are dreaming of.

Daily positive affirmations can impact your life by creating more enthusiasm, vitality, motivation and a strong sense of well-being. You can find many pre-written affirmations on the internet, but it’s better to write your own, because no one knows YOU better than YOU. Continue reading

This is good news for us as human beings, because it means we can change and replace ideas, thoughts and beliefs that no longer serve us, meaning we can change the way we interpret the world around us. Continue reading
