January 2010

It’s that time of year when we start to think about those New Year’s Resolutions. All the things we want to do, have and be in this New Year - new car, exotic holiday, lose weight, a new career, etc.

Often we don’t realise consciously that what we want to have or achieve are just a means to an end. What we really want from our possessions and experiences is the feeling or emotion that it gives us.

Perhaps you want to have an exotic holiday. As you imagine the holiday of your dreams what feelings and emotions arise for you? Maybe you imagine feeling relaxed, excited, enthusiastic and happy. Have you ever spent time day dreaming about what your holiday is going to be like - enjoying the feelings you’ll have before you even get there. Or perhaps you want to lose weight. That might make you feel fit, healthy and attractive.

Advertisers figured this out a long time ago. It’s obvious from all the sofa adverts at this time of year that having a deluxe leather sofa with recliner options will give you a happy contented family or an appreciative and attractive partner. Or you could join an exclusive health club and become fit and attractive like the lithe young people in the advert (who obviously don’t need it).

The seductive voices of advertising tell us “just get this thing or take part in this activity and you will be rewarded with these feelings”. I think a sofa is not the only way to have a happy family. Joining a health club is not the only way to feel fit.

I think there is a more useful way to think about New Year resolutions that gives us a better chance of getting what we want and many more choices in how we get there.

How do you want to feel in 2010? What feelings, or emotions, would you like to feel more of?

How would your New Year resolutions be different if started by choosing the emotional states you wanted to experience?

NLP New Year Practitioner Training - Beginning January 2010. Nine places remaining.

You know New year is often the time to start a new chapter in your life. Time to have taken stock of your life and identifying what is missing as well as realising what you really do want. What you want in terms of the experiences and values in your life, now and into the future.

New Year is a time for you and your partner or with your close friends to connect more deeply and make the moves to live the kind of life you dream about. It is time to go beyond talking and to act to make and create the kind of life you honestly really want.

This New Year is a time for change and new beginnings. Your time for change and your time for new beginning. In my experience, the most effective and practically based way to get more of what you want in your life is Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP.

Why is NLP so effective? It is because you learn to run your own brain, identify and change the behaviours that have stopped you fully achieving and actualising the kind of life you want. It is also about understanding other people’s points of view ( which are just as valid as yours ) and finding ways of working together to achieve much more.

Our next NLP Practitioner Training begins this month, January 22nd.

“much more than my expectations were met, I experienced discovering different layers within myself and therefore different potential for helping. The training was was helpful because it was experiential, non-judgemental, safe and supported and I can put this to use in my work as a coach and facilitator and in personal life“

Judith - Coach and Training Facilitator

Why are we making this offer? Well of course it is great business sense for us. More people get to learn NLP and tell their friends and colleagues … great for all concerned yet for us this is not the heart and soul of what we have chosen to do.

One of the guiding principles of both Communicating Excellence and Integrity NLP is to continue to change the world in really positive and connecting ways by sharing the skills, tools and techniques for individual and group change. Quite simply with more people at out trainings, we are achieving our goals even more quickly.
