What is NLP?
Definition
NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Neuro refers to your neurology; Linguistic refers to language; programming refers to how that neural language functions.
In other words, learning NLP is like learning the language of your own mind!
Communication
Let’s make this simpler with an example.
Have you ever tried to communicate with someone who didn’t speak your language, and they couldn’t understand you? The classic example of this is when someone goes out to a restaurant in a foreign country and they think they ordered steak, but when the food shows up, it turns out they actually asked for liver stew.
This is the kind of relationship that most of us have with our own unconscious mind. We might think we are “ordering up” more money, a happy, healthy relationship, peace with our family members, and being able to stick to a healthy diet…but unless that’s what showing up, then something is probably getting lost in translation.
Conscious and Unconscious
In NLP, we have a saying: the conscious mind is the goal setter, and the unconscious mind is the goal getter. Your unconscious mind is not out to get you–rather, it’s out TO GET FOR YOU whatever you want in life. However, if you don’t know how to communicate what you want properly, it will keep bringing steaming bowls of liver stew out of the kitchen.
In fact, go ahead right now and think of, if there was one thing you could change, one habit you could break, what would it be?
- Would you remain calm during work presentations?
- Quit procrastinating and spending so much time on Facebook?
- Not devour a whole bag of potato chips or tub of ice cream in one sitting?
Whatever it is, realize that your unconscious mind only does that because it thinks that’s what you want. (“Sir, here is your procrastination along with a side of anxiety. I’ve also told the valet to bring up your emotional baggage as per your request. Will you need anything else?”)
NLP & The Brain
Neuro-Linguistic Programming is like a user’s manual for the brain, and learning how to become fluent in the language of your mind so that the ever-so-helpful “server” that is your unconscious will finally understand what you actually want out of life.
Holistic Coaching benefits individuals struggling with negative outcome results rather than successfully reaching their goals and living to their full potential.
What is Holistic Coaching?
Holistic coaching is a collaborative and integrative approach that supports individuals in achieving personal growth and well-being across all aspects of their lives. It recognizes the inter-connectedness of mind, body, emotions, and spirit, and seeks to address the whole person rather than focusing solely on specific goals or challenges. Holistic coaches work with clients to identify their values, strengths, and aspirations, while considering the various dimensions of their lives, such as relationships, career, health, and spirituality. By utilizing a range of tools and techniques tailored to the individual’s needs, holistic coaching aims to foster self-awareness, enhance personal empowerment, and facilitate positive change that aligns with the client’s overall well-being and fulfillment.
