NLP is Neuro Linguistic Programming. Neuro for the connections in your brain, Linguistics for using specific language patterns to help you quit smoking, and Programming for you, reprogramming your mind with the help of a professional, to quit smoking for good.
NLP is used in many areas of life. These days, politicians, teachers, salesmen, athletes, businessmen, and many more employ this valuable method of self-improvement.
One of the key concepts is Anchoring. Most people when they see a puppy will want to pet it, because they have established a positive bond with puppies through past positive experiences.
However, some people will have a negative anchor due to a past negative experience, such as being bitten or frightened by a dog.
We have installed thousands of anchors for all kinds of things from politicians, teachers, weather, study, exercise, food, diets and cigarettes.
Our anchors color our view of the world. A parachute jump is an adrenaline rush for one person and an unthinkable and terrifying act for another.
Math is a fun challenge for one and boring for another. Our anchors determine what kind of meaning we give to a person or event, good or bad, it’s just how we perceive it.
NLP, when combined with advanced hypnosis, is the perfect therapeutic combination to help you quit smoking for good.
Specific techniques are used to break down the old anchors that keep you smoking, such as I need to keep smoking because it helps me relax. New positive anchors are then installed. Since I love to breathe fresh air, I love to go for walks to relax, or I always relax if I close my eyes and take a deep breath.
Simple differences in our language patterns, and this includes self-talk, can create a very different result. For example, if I say that I want to quit smoking, it is very different from saying that I will try to quit or that I hope I can quit.
In the first instance, if I want to quit, it implies action and a strong desire.
If I try, it’s not going to happen, as it’s impossible to succeed if we just try. There is no commitment.
If I hope to be able to quit, I will again fail since I have already included doubt in the equation.
These language distinctions may seem pedantic but I assure you that they are the key to success or failure. Either get your health back and save a fortune or continue to watch your life slip away.
