Running Your Own Brain - Changing Neurochemistry
By Dr Richard Bandler, co-founder of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

Now I know that some of you like to think that you only need to read something once. But like most things in our lives, we all of us know that when we wanted to learn something and get the very best out of our experiences, we had to practice again, and again; in fact many times before we got it right.

Like learning to ride a bike or later in life knowing how to drive a car it was all just a bit awkward. We were consciously incompetent but we kept trying. Then suddenly, we become unconsciously competent and found ourselves doing many things without having to think about it. So as you prepare to read the great extract below, please keep this in mind.

In this extract from Richard Bandler's bestselling book "Get The Life You Want", Richard talks about the way that you can use good feelings to change the way you respond to the world.

One of my main focuses in the work that I've done has been discovering ways to help people achieve what I call Personal Freedom. Personal Freedom means having the freedom to be able to control your thoughts and to manifest the kinds of feelings you want in your life.

We are often imprisoned by the chains of our thoughts and we allow ourselves to think ourselves into problems. However, since most problems are created by our imaginations and are thus imaginary, all we need are imaginary solutions. So, here are some effective ways of controlling your thinkig for a change.

Think of a time when you felt really good and then start playing around with the qualities of the images, sounds and feelings. By changing the submodalities, you get to intensify the feeling.

For example, think of a time when you felt really, really good. Now, step inside that time and see through your eyes, hear though your ears, and feel the really good feeling all the way through your body. Make the images bigger, brighter, more colourful and you'll probably find yourself feeling even better. Make the sounds louder and crisper and if there are no sounds, add sounds. Start to intensify the good feeling.

Next, find out where in your body the feeling starts and where it goes. Discover the directions it spins inside your body and spin it faster and faster, and, again, notice your feelings intensify. There lies the control you have over your brain to create powerful feelings inside of you.

You can then attach these feelings to other thoughts. If you keep the spinning feeling inside your body and you think about your future while it's spinning, you will start to associate the feeling with your future. By doing this, you will start to feel better about your future...

...Similarly too, if you find yourself in a negative or unresourceful state, you can change it by changing the qualities of the feeling.

For example, think about somebody who annoys you, intimidates you or irritates you. Make an image of them and see them look at you. Hear them say whatever it is that they say and notice the bad feeling that happens in your body.

Next, take this image and make it black and white. Move it far off into the distance. Make it much smaller, one eighth its size. Place a clown's nose on their face. Hear them say whatever it is that they say, but hear them say it in Mickey Mouse's, Donald Duck's, or Sylvester the Cat's voice. This changes the feeling that you have towards them and allows you to deal with them with more confidence and effectiveness.

The more you practice using the techniques in the extract above, the easier they'll become to apply. Then to further super charge your conscious and unconscious mind with their effectiveness and bring about positive, lasting and personal change, head on over to the stress busting post and relax with the eye's closed process with the Paul McKenna video.

Over the next few days, weeks and months, you're going to notice not just a difference in your feelings, but will discover just how easy it really is to change your mindset.

I spend a lot of time saying sorry to people and have very low self esteem. i worry if i upset people and i guess worry about what people think of me.

My mum and dad split up when i was 6 and they used me as a tool to get at eachother i think that is where the root of my worry comes from.

How can i break away from this?

If you have read this post, "Change Your Mindset" and followed along with the exercise offered in the extract, then you will discover that you have the ability to change your thoughts, feelings and your neurology. And you may find this with the "Getting Over Grief" that uses a technique called Time Line Therapy. Like all the NLP Techniques offered to you in this forum they can be adapted and applied to any life situation.

One very good example is the article that I posted, "Changing Anytime Any Place Anything" where I demonstrate how I used an NLP technique to change how I thought and felt about myself in one situation that had a lasting and positive change in my thoughts, feelings and behaving differently.

You see what many people either don't understand or realize is this. My posts with the NLP examples are only beneficial if read more than once and with the application of those techniques. I have been using NLP for a very long time. And if you read the About post that takes you to my about page on my website you'll discover this. That page contains information to show people that there is no such thing as a hopeless case, to encourage and inspire people to taking back control over their lives.

NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) is the study of excellence and how to produce the specific results you desire in your life on a consistent basis. My blog article "Changing Anytime Any Place Anything" shows anyone how to change their mindset and by simply tweaking the technique to his or her own life’s situation and modeling what I did. This in turn getting anyone the same positive results that they want.

NLP is highly effective for teaching people to function better at whatever they do.

Richard Bandler designed his famous methodology to help people to be more fulfilled and to free themselves from ways of thinking and behaving that meant they were previously so limited.

NLP is essentially a "meta-skill" that enables you to take control of your thinking and your internal processes, so that you get more out of yourself. It teaches you how your internal emotional state is a large influence on your productivity, on your interactions with others, on how well you maintain your morale, and how to live others' morale, too. And this is what I so clearly demonstrate in my article, "Changing Anytime Any Place Anything"

So if I offer some gem, golden nugget in an extract or a video where you get to see Richard Bandler working with people you too can follow along and achieve the same results.

And it really works. But only if you practice and apply what's being offered.

My posts are not intended to give anyone NLP training or a course.
I will do my best to offer people through real life examples how NLP works and hopefully get people to realize that it really is as simple as Modeling someone else's successful behavior in how to changed.
