Neuro Linguistic Programming

One of the great strengths of NLP is the way in which words and images can transform how we see and, thus, experience something. For example, the negative absolute statements that revolves around words or beliefs such as ‘never’, ‘can’t’, and ‘too hard’ can limit our capacity. Simple changes in how we speak and see ourselves can significantly change what we will try and potentially succeed in. In essence, it changes our focus. What we focus on influences what we experience. The best example of this was when I was looking to buy a car. Once I had decided on the model, I found myself readily noticing it everywhere. The frequency of this car did not change, but my attention did. This phenomenon can be used to our advantage in many areas of life.

There are many other aspects to this technique, but in essence, it influences perception, which can dramatically change what you see and then do.
