NLP Psychology or Excellents and the Ring of Power


What is the psychology of excellence?

To discover, elicit the pattern of, and utilize excellent behavior in themselves and others.

Or, said a little easier, it's classic nlp modeling. Find someone who posses attitudes and behaviors what you would consider excellence. Find out what they do and then do the same things.

There are two different strategies to elicit. The first is going to be the mechanics of the strategy, and the second will be attitudes, beliefs and behavior strategy.

For instance, let us pretend you would like dance like Michael Jackson. However, you are shy but physically you are prepared. So, you ask Michael, how do you dance like that? He tells you, I do this move, and then that move and end with a thingamajig. Cool, now you have the mechanics of how he dances.

Then you ask, but how do you do that with all the energy and emotion, it looks like you own that stage? He then tells you, I imagine the crowd going crazy, I picture myself doing everything perfect, the more the crowd cheers the more energy I put into each move. Then I go do what I just saw in my head.That would give you his internal mental strategy.

Now armed with this knowledge, go out and dance, just dance!



Describe the ring of power process as if you were doing it to yourself.

This is kind of a fun and crazy strategy for creating anchors.

First stand up and imagine a ring of power in front of you. This ring of power will give you what every emotion you want to feel.

1.Then, imagine a feeling you really want.
2.When you have the emotion and are feeling the feelings at the top jump into the ring. When the emotions starts to fade, step out.
3.Lastly repeat the process with as many emotions you want. When your finished, break state, and test by jumping into the imagionary ring of power and see if it triggers those emotions that you wanted.

  1. Hey Josh,
    Excellent post! Couple of tweeks.

    1. it's the physiology of excellence not the psychology of excellence.
    2. you might want to check your title to make sure excellence is spelled correctly.

    The ring of power is well described. Let me know how it works for you as you stack it and reinforce it over time.

    I see you've learned how to add pics to the blog. Nice. If you could remember to add a link back to www.ModernJedi.com that would be a great help.

    Now, I'm on to your next post (or previous post).

  2. I love the use of the Michael Jackson example. It makes the process very clear.
