Do you ever find yourself stuck in the cycle of intending to start a task, only to find every conceivable reason to delay it?
You're not alone. Procrastination isn't just about poor time management or laziness. It's deeply rooted in our subconscious beliefs and emotions about our abilities and the tasks at hand.
As a Master Trainer of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and a firm believer in the transformative power of NLP and hypnotherapy, I've seen firsthand how these techniques can revolutionize not just our productivity, but our entire approach to life and success.
The Role of the Subconscious Mind in Procrastination
At the heart of procrastination lies the subconscious mind—a powerful entity that shapes your beliefs, behaviors, and ultimately, your reality. It's where fears, uncertainties, and negative self-talk reside, often holding you back from achieving our full potential.
Understanding and reprogramming the subconscious is crucial for overcoming procrastination. Here's where NLP techniques come into play, offering a roadmap to navigating and transforming our inner landscape.
Have you ever struggled with feeling that you're not good enough or that you don't know enough, and you're afraid people will find out? If so, you may be suffering from Impostor Syndrome.
Impostor Syndrome affects many people, including many coaches, hypnotherapists, and NLP practitioners.
It's the fear of being exposed as a fraud or the fear that people will find out you don't know as much as they think you should. It can have a huge impact on your work and your life. In this article, we'll uncover the truth about Impostor Syndrome and see how NLP and hypnotherapy can help you to address it.
There are so many people who either want to be a coach or are already a coach. We are living in a world where people are stressed out and burned out by constant current negativity, past experience, and anxiety about the future, and they're seeking guidance and direction through coaching.
But what does it take to become a coach, or even better — the cream of the coaching crop — an NLP Coach?
Many people try to claim to be a coach without any kind of training or certification. There are even some people out there who claim that certification is just "a piece of paper."
But often, people begin their coaching careers by just giving advice... but when clients hit their "mental barriers" (which always happens) and the advice doesn't work, they don't know what to do. And when their clients aren't getting results, these coaches end up feeling like failures, or suffering from "impostor syndrome."
The fact is, while certification may be represented by a piece of paper, what it represents is deep training that allows you to be prepared to overcome any limits your clients may have. And then you won't feel like an impostor, because you'll actually be changing lives.
So the question is, how will your clients know that you know your stuff and that working with you is better than working with anyone else?
Time sure is interesting, isn't it?
Sometimes it slips through our fingers like sands through the hourglass, and sometimes it's slow and sticky like molasses.
This week is an important anniversary for me.
It was 22 years ago this week (on March 12th) that I graduated from a fun three-day course to become a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist.
It was the most magical day of my life... why?
Neuro-Linguistic Programming took the world by storm, with a new empowered way of looking at how the human mind works. Initially developed by Richard Bandler, John Grinder, Robert Dilts, and a hand-full of other pioneers in the 1970s, NLP has expanded greatly, both in usefulness and in Practitioners around the globe.
At its core, NLP is about producing excellence. If you want to produce excellence in any area of life — in your career, in personal relationships, in sales, in sports, in health and fitness, and other areas of life — Neuro-Linguistic Programming is likely to have answers for you.
To begin to define NLP, let's break down the name into its three constituent words:
You may have never heard of Susan Oliver's name, but it's almost a certainty you would recognize her face. Susan had over 120 television and film credits to her name. A well known actress in the 50s and 60s, she appeared in shows such as the Andy Griffith show, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Gomer Pyle: USMC, Gunsmoke, Magnum PI, and Star Trek. She directed shows such as M*A*S*H and Trapper John MD.
On February 3rd, 1959 — the same day Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and the Big Bopper died in a tiny Beechcraft V-35 Bonanza — Susan was on a commercial Pan Am flight that plummeted out of control from 35,000 feet to 6,000 feet before regaining control. This incident left her with a deep-seated phobia and she refused to go near an airplane. She turned down any role that required her to fly for over a year.
She reached out to a hypnotherapist, desperate for help.
Some of the most common questions we get at Transform Destiny as an NLP institute include, "What is the typical salary of an NLP Practitioner?" or "how much does an NLP coach earn?"
This is a great question, as NLP trainings are an investment and most people want to know how quickly they can make it back, and how well they will do financially as an NLP Practitioner.
So let's explore these questions...
I received this question via email today from one of our clients: "If the subconscious mind cannot reason, question, or reject the command you give it through hypnosis, why can't we suggest to it through hypnosis that we make $1,000,000 in 12 months and then expect the subconscious mind to show me the ways? It seems that my subconscious mind is always sabotaging my goals, even when I use hypnosis to suggest the outcome."
This is a fantastic question, and I'm so happy this client asked it, because I believe the answer can help so many people.
Let's first start by clearing up a myth:
I often get people who ask me the question, "What do I do when NLP doesn't work?"
This seems to me like a trick question, because I have never found a time when NLP doesn't work, as long as the client wants the result and doesn't give up on the process.
But there are often times when an NLP technique (or two or four) doesn't work. Sometimes, it even seems as if your entire NLP strategy doesn't work.
So what do you do? Unfortunately, many Practitioners just give up. It's not that the NLP didn't work. It's that the Practitioner didn't stick with it and try every approach to make it work.
Here are four strategies that will help you always get the result with NLP...
Have you ever wondered how NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming, AKA: The Lost User Manual fo the Mind) came about?
You've probably heard the phrase, "NLP was not invented, but rather modeled."
"What does that even mean?"
