NLP Made Easy! Episode #12: NLP is the study of 'human excellence!



Hi my friends! 

The other day I met a mason who is much wanted in the building industry. He is paid more than any other mason. I saw his brick work and it was so neat. I asked him how he is able to do such an excellent work. He gave a simple reply: 'I don't understand what you ask sir....but let me tell you this much...I place a brick and look at it....unless I am fully satisfied that I done it to my entire satisfaction, I will not pick up the next brick....'

That's why he is an excellent mason! 

I am sure you use the word 'excellent'. The dictionary meaning of the word is:extremely good; outstanding, very good, outstanding, magnificent, marvelous, superior etc. Almost all of us want to be excellent in doing what we do. We admire who are excellent. 

But have you pondered over the question what happens in your mind before you do something excellent outside? Why some people are excellent by nature and some others have to strain to become excellent? 

Its all in the mental programme! 

See this episode in which I have discussed this simple frame of mind called excellence!

NLP Made Easy! Episode 11: There is always a strong link between your mind and body!



Hi friends! 

Next time you meet a person who comes to you in a confused frame of mind and discusses his problem, notice his body posture and body language. You will notice something different in his facial expression, eyebrows, jaws etc. You may even notice a slight couch in his body posture. If you are able to clear his confusion to his satisfaction, once again notice how he looks. 

You will notice a difference. His looks will be different, his eyebrows will not be raised, you will see a different facial expression altogether. 

Next time when you wear a new suit or an apparel  which you like most, notice how you feel inside your mind! 

There is always a link between your mind and body! 

See this episode and do the exercise suggested and you will be amazed about this simple but powerful NLP principle!

NLP Made Easy! Episode # 10: There is always a connection between 'inside' and 'outside'!



Hi My Friends! 

Next time you watch a TV Show, try to become inquisitive to understand what is happening inside the TV set to get the images on the monitor. The same thing applies to a computer, a washing machine, a rice cooker etc. Unless you understand the technology which produces certain outputs from these gadgets, you cannot trouble shoot if there is a problem.

In the same way, a behaviour that you see outside a person has connection with the thoughts, feelings, emotions, attitude etc of the person displaying the behaviour. It applies to your behaviours also.

You have a choice of seeing things happening or making things happen! You can make things happen if you understand the mind - body connection. Else you have to accept what you see happening! This is where knowledge of NLP will be useful. 

In this episode I have discussed some common examples.

NLP Made Easy! Episode # 9: Without Self-introspection We Cannot Change!



Hi Friends! 

If you want to change, you have to introspect asking the following questions:
  • What am I doing now?
  • How what I am doing will influence my life?
  • What will happen if continue this without change?
  • What change I should bring about in my life and what will it do for me? 
  • What will happen to me if I don't change?
For bringing about personal changes, we should be personally convinced and personally determined. Others' conviction and determination will be useless in the absence of our own.


NLP will help us to understand why we change and we do not change.

See this episode where I have discussed a very important case study.

NLP Made Easy! Episode # 8: Understand the link between mind - thought - feeling - behaviour - habit!



Hi my friends! 


The other day I met an interesting person in my personal one to one counselling: an alcohol addict. His problem is he is so much addicted to drinking that we has to work very hard to earn - to drink! 

He was very clear: he needs money to drink and he needs work to earn money! But in the process he's losing his health and his wife is very worried, not because he is working to earn, but because, he is working to drink and ultimately die! 


I explained the issue of his alcohol addiction to his wife. I explained that as long as we do not arrest the 'thought' of having a drink entering his mind, we cannot wean him out from drinking. 

There is a close connection and link between mind - thought - feeling - behaviour - and habit. You need to understand how these are interconnected and how this connection make us who we are!

NLP Made Simple! Episode # 7: Understand the 'programme' to change the output!

Hi my friends! 

The other day I was playing a song from my iPhone. After a song another song started playing and I did not want to hear it at that time. After sometime I realised that I have created a 'playlist' and queued up the songs in that sequence and whether I like that sequence or not! If I want to change the song sequence I have to go back to the playlist and delete the queue. Unless and until I do this, the sequence will continue. I may not know how to change the playlist queue, but the iPhone will not be able to help my predicament.

The same thing happens when it comes to change human behaviours and habit.

This is where understanding the NLP principles will help us to get rid of hindering behaviours and habit.

NLP Made Easy! Episode # 6: Our External Behaviours Are Not External!



Hi Friends!


Take a rubber band and pull. Then leave it....you will see the rubber band going back to its original shape. If it does not, then it is not a rubber band which can be used because it does not have the functionality of a rubber band! 
The same thing is true of human beings. If we take the natural instinct of resistance from human beings, we will cease to be human beings. We are not robots to be manipulated by commands....

You see a person indulging in some activities. You may like it or may not like it. Just because you don't like it you cannot change it. Because he is 'programmed' to display that behaviour. 

What you see outside a person is not just an 'extra fitting'! But what is inside is projecting
outside. This principle applies to human behaviours and habits. We cannot remove a behaviour or habit by applying the 'Alt+Cont+Del' Key! 

We cannot remove a behaviour by force, nor can we introduce a new behaviour by force. That will amount to 'manipulation'. 


Manipulation is temporary, but modification is permanent. Modification calls for convincing the mind and intellect of the person. NLP will be useful to achieve this. Human beings are not puppets nor you are a puppeteer!

NLP Made Simple: Episode 5 : 'Human Beings and Meaning Making People'!

Hi my friends!

Human beings and meaning making beings and thinking beings! They think what they are doing and what they have to do before doing what they do. Unless it makes some meaning to them, they will not be committed to what they have to do.
If we understand this simple principle, we will understand why people work so hard. 

People who suffer to achieve something great enjoy that suffering.
Before doing anything they ask the question: 'what will it do for me and how is this important to me?'
Unless this question is addressed and answered, we will not be consistent in what we do, especially when it involves high order of discipline and pain!
