What is NLP?
NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming.
In short, NLP is an instruction manual for the brain and a methodology for using Neurology, Psychology and Linguistics effectively.
NLP is widely used for coaching and in business for management, achieving goals and re-programming one’s mindset.
Many sports players and athletes also apply NLP skills to achieve excellent performances. It is getting more popular in the clinical and educational fields as well.
Why is it so effective?
NLP works on your conscious and subconscious minds. As you may have heard before, they are often referred to as an iceberg. It is said that your conscious mind is the part you can see from the surface (10%) and the part hidden underwater is your subconscious mind (90%).
The conscious mind is in charge of: Logical thinking, Decision making, Will power
The subconscious mind is in charge of: Beliefs, Emotions, Habits, Values, Long-term memory, Protective reactions, Automatic bodily functions, Creativity.
NLP can help reach the fundamental part of your mind to achieve your goals.
