Show Notes for Episode 161

  • First we recap all the cool stuff from last podcast
  • NLP doesn’t work...apparently. It’s not a science, let alone a pseudo-science
  • The Mythology: With NLP you can do anything that anyone else can do. Not.
  • NLP can be a short cut to improvement, but you’re not going to be the world chess champion...
  • Some people learn NLP because they want to be the next Tony Robbins
  • We think you should apply these things in your own life first!
  • NLP does not give you the ability to read minds!
  • Mind reading and complex equivalence are closely related (so don’t write in)
  • Framework is how we approach anything. Frameworks can be unconscious.
  • The Problem Frame = What’s wrong? Use the Outcome Frame!
  • Move from a stuck state to a process based solution...
  • How will I (x)? What will I see here and feel when I have (x)?
  • The Impossibility Frame = I can’t!
  • You can always model someone who can already do it...
  • The AS IF Frame is awesome! It opens up all sorts of possibilities...
  • Not fake it until you make it, but fake it until you become it!
  • A dimmer switch: What would it be like if you were on your way to learning it...
  • The Failure Frame is terrible! Change it to the Feedback Frame. It’s just information, folks! Make sure it’s useful to you...
  • Remember: You have the power to fire toxic people from your life!
  • Stories are useful to help reframe situations...
  • Make sure bearing and heading are the same, so you don’t hit something!
  • The Swish Pattern still works, but not all the time!
  • Start with the image you don’t want! Swish in the image you do want!
  • These NLP patterns work really well when you do them fast...
  • Your brain runs into a road block on the old pattern and looks for a new one!
  • The old pattern becomes pruned and falls away! It’s self-directed neuro-plasticity (Thanks Melissa Tiers!)
  • The New Code Swish uses motion and the hands too...

  • The Pattern Interrupt is Classic NLP! 
  • Learn to put up a Stop sign and shut that pecker down...
  • Once you shut down the one pathway that you don’t want...put in a brand-new path that you do want...
  • Smelling underneath your wristwatch will break most patterns immediately!
  • Melissa Tiers fixed Mike’s pattern: Late night eating pounds of dried fruit!
  • Yell STOP! Hold up your hand and push the picture away. Then say your positive affirmation...

Empowering Questions:

Ask yourself:  Since I have much more control over my emotions and my mental states...than someone who doesn’t know these things...what advantage will I gain by learning...to excel in interesting new areas?
