Neuro Linguistic Programming 101

Learning NLP basics and more

For starters, let me begin by saying that Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP could easily be  understood. A simple understanding on its core principles could introduce you to what NLP is and all the other pertinent facts that come with it. 

For starters, Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP is the understanding of the relationship between one’s behavior and one’s subjective experiences that supports the mind at various levels of awareness. The way the mind functions affects how an individual thinks, perceives and understands the world. The interplay between the mind and behavior affects not only the way an individual thinks but also of how an individual interacts with other people. NLP aims not only to understand the conscious mind but also awaken the level of subconscious mind where human behavior is stored.

Neuro Linguistic Programming advocates that we understand the world through the language stored in our minds. In other words, NLP wants us to have an understanding of the world by understanding the world beyond our sensory organs.

It is but an inevitable fact that our mind filters from past experiences and stored notions of reality. What we think to be true is true – as far as our brains are concerned. What Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP wants is for man to think beyond the experiences and preconceived notions. Traverse deep in the subconscious arena and think. Do not get confused with reality per se and your own understanding of reality.

Selective understanding of the world leads to miscommunication and misunderstanding. In short, NLP is about how the mind interprets or filters the information coming in from sensory experience in the physical world.

To advocate the presence of change in one’s life means to accept the possibility of reprogramming your entire system. Though considered hard, the idea behind being able to reprogram and restructure the self is enabling a brighter today and a fuller tomorrow. Act according to your today and not because of yesterday. Live now and build on your tomorrow.

Ergo, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) wants you to outgrow past experiences and learn how to live a better and fuller life ahead. Do not depend on how you filter the world according to your own liking. Instead, learn to grope the totality of reality with the aid of your subconscious mind.
