NLP Courses and The State for Better Communication Skills

Posted in nlp courses Communication skills training by admin on 13th Aug

 

NLP presupposes or assumes that you are in charge of your own thoughts. There are of course those who say that this isn’t true. These people tend to not be successful or satisfied with their life and fall into the category of what many people refer to as “victims”

 

The reason I raise this so early on in this article is because it’s important to think about who is actually in charge of your thinking processes. The reason for getting clear on this is that everything you experience in your life gets processed by the six inches of grey matter between your ears. So you might as well take control of what goes on in there. It’s far preferable to be in charge as compared to having your thinking dictated to you, by someone else.

 

This is one of the major NLP presuppositions which is that you are “at cause’. Now many people get kind of freaked out by this because it means they are responsible for their own life. I tend to re-frame this as they are in control of what happens to them and the quality of life they have.

 

So far we’ve discovered that by choosing to take responsibility for your thoughts you get more choice for the results you get from your life.

 

Here’s another thing. Thoughts are what you use to construct communication with. Some people say we communicate with words but that’s only part of the picture. Communication also involves something called State which is the sum total of all of your physiology and your feelings and your body posture as well as your emotions and what you are thinking. So State is a pretty big thing.

 

And State is a two way thing. What I mean by that is that your state affects your choice of words and the language you use when communicating. This in turn affects the sort of responses you get in reply to your words.

 

Here’s a simple example of that. When you are in the state called anger the words you choose and how you say them tend to be different to the ones you use when you are in the state called loving.

 

So your internal state affects how you communicate with the external world. This in turn affects the response you get back from the external environment which in its turn then has an affect on your internal state again.

 

This is why we say in NLP that managing your state is the first and most important thing for you to do when you want to communicate with someone.

 

This includes you because as you just noticed you react to messages you receive as well as the ones you send. So if you’re going to talk to your self you may as well be nice to yourself as it will make your whole day happier and more enjoyable.

 

In my NLP Courses and trainings I go into much more depth on this topic.
