The Importance of Mindset:Visualization & Goal Setting
All of my life, I have found myself fascinated by psychology and the myriad of topics that stem from it. Attempting to decipher the underlying motives behind peoples' behavior, analyzing emotional attitudes & responses, discovering each person's strengths & weaknesses, the reasoning behind those characteristics, and so on.
I discovered Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) at an early age, I was fascinated by the basic concepts immediately, although not yet convinced, that our brains are "wired" similar to computers, each thought generates a response, each action breeds a reaction, etc. It actually seemed too easy, too scientific, I assumed emotions were surely bound to interfere with this detached way of thinking. Soon after learning that people are always in complete control of their emotions and that they could actually generate desired emotions on command, my interest in NLP sky-rocketed and I spent the next several years enthralled in my studies of it.
Over the years, I spent countless hours reading journals, books, reports, clinical research studies. I listened to tapes, recorded lectures, and attended numerous seminars. I was determined to find every answer I'd always been looking for and to learn more than I knew I was aware of. Every answer and theory made sense to me, more often than not, the answers or reasoning behind certain things were so simple, so plainly obvious, it sometimes came as a shock that I had not been aware or exposed to this clear logic before. In comparison, NLP made all of the traditional psychology I'd studied in the past seem pointlessly complicated , overly emotional and at times, even painful.
I have personally found Neuro Linguistic Programming to be the most effective method in not only maintaining a healthy psyche but also in aiding tremendous improvements in one's quality of life, (motivation, mindset, health, energy levels, confidence,etc).
Here is a short podcast where I briefly discuss some of the basic tips and tricks used in NLP to achieve any desired goal, Thank you for listening, I hope you enjoy it!
