Modern Jedi NLP

What is the favorite thing I have learned so far and why?

As of right now, learning the basics of NLP is great. Specifically, I really enjoy learning about sub-modalities. I find it fascinating that our brains automatically organize our perceptions. Even better, is having the understanding that we can change our perceptions and therefore change our lives.

What is my favorite Definition of NLP?

NLP is an attitude and Methodology that leaves behind a trail of techniques.

When you were in elementary school what did you want to be when you grew up? Are you doing that now? If not what stopped you? If your are doing that what was the key that kept you on target?

I have always found this a peculiar question simply because what I wanted to be as a child is not realistic, and as far as a presupposition goes, I only made the best decision I could given that I was 7. Still, I wanted to be a ninja or a commando. Some of my favorite movies were with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sly Stalone, Steven Sagal, Jean Claud Van Dam, and Bruce Lee. I understand being a ninja is not a real career. However, today I do enjoy the fighting industry.

Keys to an achievable outcome

1. What specifically do I want.

I want to be able to manage my mind and significantly improve my career, finances, health, relationships, and the level of happiness I enjoy on a regular basis.

2. Specify Present situation

On a scale of 1-10 I am currently an 8 in my relationships. A 2-3 in my career, a 6 in my finances, and a 4 in my health.

3. Specify outcome: What will I see, feel and hear when I have it?

Each area of my life will be enhanced. For instance, I will enjoy my career more and be more productive. I will lose weight, have more energy and be internally healthy.

4. Specific Evidance Proceedure.

I will know when I have it by setting realistic goals in each area of my life, focusing on one goal at a time, and achieving my milestones for each goal.

5. Is it Congruently desirable?

It will allow me to focus on what is most important in my life, and to really contribute to things that matter to me.

6. Is it self-initiated and self-maintained?

In general, my goals are for my benefit. However, the residual benefit extends to all the people that I have relationships with.

7. Is it appropriately contextualized?

I would like to look back on each area of my life after setting my goals and see that I am achieving major progress in all areas of my life. I will choose a goal that is most important to me and that will have the biggest impact on my life.

8. What are the resources that I need?

I currently have Mark Shepard, my coach, for specific questions. I have Modern Jedi workshop to learn NLP and to apply the techniques to my life. I have books, cd programs, and the internet for further references.

9. Is it ecological?

Ultimatly the reason I want to achieve happiness is because we only live once. I want to be able to create a life that I am proud of. A life of no regrets and tons of happiness. A life that continues to give even after I am gone and that can touch the lives of the people I love.

The wonderful thing about these areas of my life is that they will continue to evolve and change which will give me the opportunity to challenge myself and continue to make progress in the areas that are important to me.

Achieving this goal is the most worthy and ambisious goal I have undertaken. It will not be an easy task to make improvements in some areas. Yet, life is a process that can be continually enjoyed and improved.
