Starting Point

Life Coach, NLP + Hypnosis Portland, Oregon: Where to Start the Smallest Next Step: Change Your Starting Point

By trying out different things without evaluating or judging ourselves as we go along, we can choose to start a new behavior or habit without a negative bias.

We can vary our starting points and decide to take the smallest next step by using a more positive and less negative approach.

Start to think differently about what a starting point is and re-think your smallest next step.

Reconsider adhering, trance-like, to the statistical averages of what’s normal or acceptable. Instead, consider being motivated by the exception to the rule.

Enjoy playing around with your goals. The process is the point.

Your Potential

Life Coach, NLP + Hypnosis Portland, Oregon: Working Toward Your Potential

Author Ellen Langer in her ‘psychology of possibility’ talks about how we start with the wrong assumption that we do not know what we can do to become more than we are.

She talks about raising the bar for ourselves and rather than starting from the point of ‘what is’, we could start from the point of what we would like to be.

As you begin, you can ask yourself  how you might reach the goal or make progress toward it. It’s a subtle change in thinking, although not difficult to make once we realize how stuck we are by a culture that limits our perspective.

This is where the NLP technique of modeling can be useful. We can discover our potential by finding and identifying the distinctions of another’s process, say, someone we admire, and studying these qualities until we incorporate them into our daily lives.

This is just one way to work toward your potential. Using self-hypnosis while studying and learning new perspectives and behaviors can be helpful.

New Grow

Life Coach, NLP + Hypnosis Portland, Oregon: The Future of NLP in Portland, Oregon: Growth in 2012

You know you’re using the right tools in your coaching practice when the emails pile-up, the phone starts ringing more often and potential clients are asking for interventions using one of your tools.

NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming) is the tool people have been calling about. ‘Can you use NLP to help me focus ?” “Yes” I reply, and off we go into an engaging conversation about the many uses and positive results of this modality.

It’s clear to me that NLP has a bright future in Portland as I notice a steady rise in the use of it within the hypnosis practices, life coaching and psycho therapeutic practices around town.

An awareness of ‘Mindfulness’ ( vs ‘mindlessness’) and the various approaches to its uses include the use of NLP Modelling. You don’t need to be Buddhist to be mindful, you simply need to notice the little things in life and practice curiosity.

NLP modeling is a method that involves identifying and utilizing the distinctions discovered when you study exceptional behavior and people.

We ask ‘how’ they do what is exceptional and study the distinctions that describe the exceptional writer or musician or mechanic. You can notice the exception rather than the rule and be more creative in your daily life as a result of this different perspective.
