Creating your own tailored personal development plan is a big step towards setting and achieving your goals, but without the right approach it can seem a daunting and even impossible task. But with the right tools, all it takes is literally 15 minutes a day. NLP is one of the many tools at your disposal that can help you in building confidence to go after your goals with passion and determination.
Before we get started, let me ask you a question: "Why do successful people seem to find it easier to get what they want in life?" And why do some people get to the top of their careers and earn good money, while you continue to struggle to make a decent living?
The way I see it is this - the people who are able to achieve their goals and ambitions in life, with relative ease are much less inhibited, and even totally un-inhibited.
So why should this be? Why is it that some people feel less inhibited than others? What is their secret? Simple really - when they discovered strategies for coping with situations that worked well for them, they repeated those strategies constantly until that behaviour became second nature.
Successful people have learned the behaviours they need to achieve their goals, and they practice them on very regular occasions. So much so, their old, limiting behaviours have all but been eliminated from their life, and their new empowering behaviours and now the norm.
If these people can learn how to not feel nervous and anxious in important situations, so can you.
If these people have learned how to remain calm and relaxed when they get into winning positions in sport, so can you.
If professional speakers can learn how to overcome their fear of public speaking, and present themselves in a manner which leaves their audience wanting more, so can you.
Successful people weren't always successful - they learnt how to become successful. So if people can learn how to overcome their frustrations and focus on the actions they need to achieve their ultimate goals and ambitions - so can you.
If you're truly serious about overcoming your inhibitions, and can set aside 10 to 15 minutes each day (or every other day will do), you can learn some very simple NLP techniques that will show you exactly how to take control of your life. You can learn how to turn negative and dysfunctional emotions into positive and empowering behaviour patterns that will take you ever closer to your goals.
Before you turn tail and run at the thought of learning some NLP techniques, or if you're not really sure what it is, in it's simplest form, Neuro Linguistic Programming is basically a method of helping you change the way you habitually react to any given situation. When you experience anxiety or frustration, you are simply reacting negatively to the situation that is causing those emotions. NLP teaches you how you can easily change your reactions to be positive and empowering.
There are two very simple exercises that you can perform to help get started using these NLP techniques to create your personal development plan:
1. First of all, you need to start to take notice (or become aware) of the things that are causing you to feel bad. If a particular situation of place causes you to feel nervous or anxious, simply make a note of it. The best plan is to carry a little notebook around with you so that you can take notes whenever you feel this way.
In order to start tearing down the barriers that are standing in your way, you need to know exactly what those barriers are.
2. Secondly, you need to create 2 lists. One list of exactly how you would like to feel for most of your day. Happy, excited, energised, adventurous.. Your other list should be all the negative and dysfunctional emotions and feelings you want to eliminate from your life.
These aren't big exercises, but it's important that you take time to complete them fully. The more you put into creating them, the more you'll get out of the process when you start to create your personal development plan for building your future.
