NLP 4 Everyone is a blog dedicated to informing everyone about the benefits of Neuro Linguistic Programming which, is the study of subjective experience originally developed by Richard Bandler and John Grinder back in the late 1970’s.
Richard Bandler developed the first NLP model called the Meta Model, which was extracted from watching two therapist who were getting remarkable results, Fritz Perls and Virgina Satir. Grinder and Bandler were joined by other interested students, Robert Dilts, Leslie Cameron-Bandler, to name a couple. And in only thirty years has developed into a world wide understanding of how humans process information.
In less than thirty years the methods of understanding human processing and modelling excellence have established themselves into nearly all European languages. It is independent of race or religion and it’s goal is to improve the quality and capability of every human being willing to investigate how, what, where, when and why they do and think the way they do. And to ask the questions, “Is this way of thinking or acting useful to me?” Once you know the answer to this question NLP gives you the processes to enhance or change, if you want to. The important thing is that NLP always gives you a choice and choice is better than no choice, isn’t it?
NLP has a number of operating beliefs. These are not truths and I would suggest that you fully consider them. And maybe, if you want to, try them on and see what happens when you ‘Act as if’ they are true.

1. Everyone lives in their own unique model of the world.
2. NLP is not a model of repair… it is a model of acquisition… it is generative and provides choice
3. A person is always communicating.
4. Choice is better than no choice.
5. Memory and imagination use the same neurological circuits, and potentially have the same impact.
6. Failure equals feedback. There are no mistakes, only results. Without failure and mistakes, learning would be impossible.
7. Mind and body are the same system. What affects one, affects the other.
8. The meaning of a communication is the response it gets.
9. If one person can do it, other people can too.
10. People make the best choices available to them at the time.
11. Everyone has all the resources they need.
12. Every behaviour has a positive intention (for the person doing it). The
intention may well be different from the effect.
14. If what you are doing is not working do something else.
Just thinking about these beliefs can change the way you perceive the world and make it and even nicer place. Try it and have fun.
