A reflection on the ways in which it helps us in various areas of life.

Neurolinguistic Programming, being born and born in the coaching field, seems to be a subject only of use and interest to professionals in those fields, but the reality is that what it is and teaches is applicable to everyone in all areas of life. what it is and what it teaches is applicable to everyone in all areas of life..

Because... Who wouldn't like to communicate better with others? Or to be able to put an end to a sabotaging internal dialogue? Or to get attention when speaking? Or to know how to manage undesirable reactions to certain circumstances? In practically everything involving words, thoughts, emotions and behaviors, NLP can help.

What does NLP do for you?

Neurolinguistic Programming is a set of methods and techniques that allows to manage and change the states and behaviors of a person so that he/she has the possibility to choose what, consequently, will make him/her feel freer.

It is often said that NLP is like the "nuclear physics of the mind" or the way to decipher the map of our brain, since it helps us to understand the complex system of thoughts, emotions, ways of thinking, ways of thinking, and the way we think. configuration of thoughts, emotions, ways of communicating and behaving.. Once the relationships in this system are understood, possibilities and options open up in the person where previously there was probably only blockage, anger or anxiety.

By being able to understand this mental framework that influences so much in all aspects of life, gives the individual the option to better manage at all levels providing balance and inner peace.

Direct benefits provided by NLP that help you in your personal and professional life.

Although in the previous section we have mentioned in general terms what NLP can do for those who study and know it, here are 4 more concise benefits or advantages of knowing the tools of Neurolinguistic Programming.

1. Improves communication

Neurolinguistic Programming provides tools and techniques that allow to have a better communication with oneself, since it helps to creating less sabotaging internal dialogues by understanding how our way of thinking and speaking is structured..

But NLP also greatly improves interpersonal relationships. Knowing the representational systems or one of the essential foundations of Neurolinguistic Programming, such as calibration and rapport, offers a broader vision of the other interlocutor, giving rise to more fluid dialogues.

As if that were not enough, NLP helps at another level of communication more closely linked to the workplace: in presentations, talks and lectures. Everything learned at the level of interpersonal relationships is key to communicate better and connect with listeners; and with specific tools such as anchors, the fear of public speaking that many have, can be controlled forever.

2. Self-knowledge and confidence

NLP, by allowing you to decipher the map of the brain, opens a door to deeper self-knowledge, to understanding why we think the way we think, why we express ourselves in this or that way and why, in line with all this, we act as we do.. And, best of all, it gives options to make changes.

This self-knowledge also leads to deciphering the "hidden" resources or skills that each one of us has to face the day to day with more confidence, which provides greater self-confidence, something crucial for a much more effective performance both personally and professionally.

3. Overcoming false beliefs and irrational fears

Since we are born we internalize beliefs that we end up considering absolute truths and, in many cases, they are affirmations that prevent us from advancing and developing as people (I am not worth for that position, it is impossible for me to achieve that, etc.). NLP helps to discover what are those limiting beliefs that we do not know are holding us back and gives the possibility to change them to turn them into empowering ones.

On the other hand, NLP does not cure phobias as such, but it does have some techniques that allow the individual to manage his thoughts and emotions in the face of certain irrational fears (fear of a spider, of traveling by plane, etc.) so that he can gradually confront them without being limited in his life.

4. Controlling emotions and actions

As we have already said several times in this article, NLP works deeply with the relationship between thoughts, actions and emotions. works deeply with the relationship between thoughts, emotions and actions.. In this sense, it is a tremendously effective tool to identify emotions and emotional states (here it is closely linked to Emotional Intelligence), to understand them and, especially, to learn to embrace them.

Thanks to some tools such as the so-called "6 steps to freedom", impulsive people, those who, as they say, react to certain situations disproportionately, and then feel bad, can learn to modify these reactions, not by rejecting or hiding their emotions, but knowing how to identify when they occur, why they occur and curbing the behavior they generate consciously.

Learning NLP requires the study of its theoretical bases and fundamentals and a lot of practice to assimilate, little by little, all its powerful techniques. At D'Arte Human And Business School we are experts in the three steps of NLP training that guarantee a precise and staggered learning of Neurolinguistic Programming: Practitioner, Master and Trainer. In addition, among the trainers is one of the co-creators of this methodology, Frank Pucelik, a fierce defender and disseminator of the original NLP, which, of course, is taught at the school.
