NLP Techniques for Overcoming Procrastination

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.

Uncovering the Truth About Impostor Syndrome

Do you ever feel like a fake or like you're not good enough?  Do you sometimes fear that people will "find out you don't know what you're doing" even though you're educated? This is called "Impostor Syndrome."

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.

How To Become a Certified NLP Practitioner, Step-By-Step

As the founder of the top NLP Training company in North America, I often have people ask me "How do I become an NLP Practitioner?"

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?

What To Do If NLP Doesn't Work

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...

Are You at Cause For Your Health? An NLP Perspective

One of the biggest issues we have facing us in the modern world is that people have been conditioned to believe that health is not a personal responsibility.

Society blames health on our genetics, our upbringing, our environment, our government (or lack of government), for-profit corporations, our age... anything BUT the personal choices we have made and the personal choices we continue to make each and every day.

People have been conditioned to believe that health primarily comes in a bottle full of chemicals, reactively given to you only through the permission of a medical system that has assumed far more power than it can competently handle. THIS is primarily why we are in the position of health we are in today as a society...

Breaking the Pattern of Relationships with Narcissists and People With Personality Disorders

So many people say you cannot spot a narcissist or someone with a personality disorder until it's too late, but then they will tell you about the string of narcissists they have been in relationships with.

This is a clue.

While they may not consciously recognize the narcissist at the onset of the relationship the fact they keep "falling" into relationships with them is no accident.

I used to run this negative pattern in my own life with people who have BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder. Similar to narcissism, but more toxic). There is definitely something subconscious going on, because "normal" people are not attracted to narcissists.
