You are special, really special to me, because I am so excited to share with you the first issue of “NLP Around YOU”

Thoughtful Thought of the Week

(This section will contain a signature quote from my side – including some snippets from my second book Thoughtfully Yours. Here’s today’s quote)

“Action is the bridge from misery to mastery.”

Which is the much-needed action that you have put on snooze? What will be the first step to make it happen?

NLP Quote Corner

(This is the section that contains a Quote from one of the Founding Members of NLP. Here’s today’s quote)

“The greatest personal limitation is to be found not in the things you want to do and can’t, but in the things you’ve never considered doing.”- Richard Bandler

One Minute NLP

(One NLP Concept simplified for you, even if you are new to the field of NLP)

Embedded Commands?

Embedded commands are hidden suggestive commands in normal conversation, which are decipherable by the unconscious mind, but are not noticed by conscious awareness. On the surface, those commands look like a normal conversation, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. The real fine-tuning happens with the right usage of embedded commands. These commands are also known as conversational hypnosis, where the sentences do the magic of convincing the unconscious mind and making it behave accordingly.

Watch this video from a Real Estate Trainer that explains the power of NLP embedded commands in persuasive sales conversations:

Meta-Magic

(In this section, you will find some thought-provoking metaphors)

Look at this jigsaw. What is the missing piece, which will complete it for you? Some may seek clarity, while others may look for resources, a mindset, or a strategy. Identify your missing piece, because identification is the precursor to change.

Hook from a Book

(Treasure bytes from a book)

“Worry doesn’t empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength.” – Corrie Ten Boom, Clippings from My Notebook

What are you? A worrier or a warrior?

Movie Motivation

(One of my professors used to say – “Movie nahi dekha to kya seekha” – this not only added to my motivation of watching movies, but also inspired me to imbibe motivational learnings from movies. Here is today’s movie dialogue)

All Izz Well – Movie: 3 Idiots

This connects to the NLP technique of Reframing. This is not about being mindlessly positive or denying the negatives. It is to remind you that while you acknowledge something unexpected around you, also give it a thought – what could be possibly positive about this? Here is a simple example: A very common complaint of the common man is that there is too much traffic on the streets and that traffic is a waste of time! Now think about this – What is positive about Traffic? Well, doesn’t it mean that the economy is growing and progressing with more need for infrastructure? “All is well” acknowledges the traffic and flips it from being tragic to terrific!!!

Weekly Winner Posts

Last week during my NLP Train The Trainer classes, I was sharing the concept of the Pie of Knowledge. While there are some aspects that “you know”, there are several elements that “you know that you don’t know”. Both these elements put together are a very small portion of the Pie of Knowledge. The biggest section of the Pie is composed of “You don’t know what you don’t know”. Here is where you can read more about it: YDKWDK

See you next week
