In NLP, state is ‘everything’!!
• All our goals are actually states
• Performance and behaviour is a function of state
• Bad habits are attempts at modifying states
• You enjoy somebody’s company because he/she puts you in a good state
Internal Representations (Mental pictures / meaning)
Behaviour / Performance
Physiology (posture, biochemistry, breathing, muscular tension, etc.)
STATE!
#1 Check your neural system
What’s on the right side of your desk?
“Remembering is Re-experiencing”
George Lakoff & Mark JohnsonPhilosophy in the Flesh
We must become detectives of our minds
Modalities = Senses
Visual
Auditory
Kinesthetic
Olfactory
Gastronomic
Each one has their own sub-modalities
#2 Debug your system
Monitor the intensity of yourfeelings as the picture changes…
Notice how your feeling towards the picture changed as its size
and colour-tone changed…
Let’s try another one…
And another…
Control your emotions by controlling your
sub-modalities!
Critical Learning Point:
Internal Representations (Mental pictures / meaning)
Behaviour / Performance
Physiology (posture, biochemistry, breathing, muscular tension, etc.)
STATE!
Enthusiasm is a choice
“The quality of your life is the quality of your movement”
Moshe FeldenkraisIsraeli Physicist an Founder of the Feldenkrais Method
If Congruence is Power…
Then this is power…
And so is this…
But not this!
In Summary
• Behaviour and performance is a function of internal representations and physiology : self-improvement means managing both!
• Manage internal representations by modifying your sub-modalities
• Manage physiology by acting AS IF you’re excited, motivated, enthusiastic, etc.
