The Ultimate Introduction to NLP Quotes

“think of something that happened to you recently and still bothers you, something that you wish to have off your mind … An episode came to Joe’s mind: an argument he had had with a drunk guy who had been hitting on his girlfriend a couple of nights back. Chances are that you are imagining a life-size scene as vividly as if you were actually there, right? When Joe thought about it, it was true: he was remembering the event as if it was a movie playing in front of him. Take that picture and begin by making it smaller. Then move it off into the distance and drain the colour out of it. If you hear the voices and sounds of the scene, make them fade away together with the brightness. Make the picture so small you have to squint to see what’s in there, and then make it even smaller. When it’s the size of a breadcrumb, you can just brush it away – just like that.”

“What I want you to do is to think about the very thing that made you feel bad. Just imagine watching it on a screen and taking hold of the brightness dial. Then, in one quick move, I want you to turn that dial all the way to bright, so you completely white the picture out – one moment you see it, and the next it’s just completely whited out. As Liz did this, she jerked slightly in the chair. Excellent! Do it again. Imagine the thing that made you feel bad. Now white it out, real quick. And again. And again. Now, take that really good feeling that you were spinning, and as you imagine that situation in the future, white out the bad thought and spin this really good feeling around.As you do this, you’re going to hear an inner voice that says, ‘Never again!’Because sometimes you’re going to feel that enough is enough and you’re not going to allow yourself to keep on doing”

“By listening to how a person speaks, you can identify how they are thinking, and that will help you to know how to communicate back to them. When they use visual words, see to it that you show them a clear picture. When they use auditory expressions, tune in and let yourself be heard loud and clear. When they use feeling words, grasp the chance to give them a solid understanding. This will help them feel that you are really speaking the same language as they are.”

“By challenging such comparisons, we get to realize that we all have good points and bad points, and because we are all unique, the only valid comparison we can actually make is when we compare ourselves now to ourselves in the past”
