In any therapeutic intervention that is designed to achieve change, it is important to have an understanding of the beliefs and values held by the person wishing to change. NLP therapists are able to work with clients to eradicate limiting beliefs. NLP therapists are available to provide NLP in Herts.

Have you ever taken the time to stop and think about your beliefs and values. Ask yourself – where have my beliefs originated? How do they guide how I live my life? Do my values and beliefs serve me?

In order to achieve anything in life, it is important that you know your self worth.

Knowing your self worth means that you know that you deserve to be treated a certain way; that you deserve certain things in life simply because you are a human being.

All events occur at the right time and place. It is no accident you were born in this time. It is perfect that you are here now and this is the best time in space for you.

I know there are not many who would see it that way. Most of us are heavily involved in our physical lives to see the significance of our own existence. Nothing in the universe happens by chance or by luck or lack of it. You are here now because it is appropriate at this moment.

Intrinsic motivation is when an individual is motivated by internal factors, as opposed to external factors.

Examples of intrinsic motivation would be doing something because you feel it is the moral and ethical thing to do; doing something because you know it will benefit others or doing something because it brings you pleasure and joy.

The latter is common in regards to an enjoyable pastime or a hobby.

It is believed that intrinsic motivation is far stronger than extrinsic motivation however there are times when extrinsic motivation can become stronger because it displaces intrinsic motivation.

What exactly is motivation? Everyone does not always define motivation the exact same way.

Some people describe motivation as a mental force that drives a person to accomplish an end such as finishing a project or saving for retirement.

Some people say that motivation is why some individuals do one thing and others do something all together different. Motivation is often discussed in terms of setting and achieving goals and also what determines the behaviour of a human being.

Everyone, at some point of his or her life, has dreamed of being somebody special, somebody big. Who hasn't fantasized about being the one who hits the game-winning homer? Who hasn't dreamed of being the homecoming queen? And how many times have we dreamed of being rich, or successful, or happy with our relationships?

You can start right now and be successful? When you try to focus on the positive things in life you start to see more positive things. You need to use mind strategies to help you organize your understanding, you need to start reading around the subject – not just for the sake of it, but to answer questions that your own curiosity asks of you.

It can be a struggle to motivate yourself to achieve your goals therefore when the going gets the very toughest, enlist the help of a friend, family member or work colleague. For example when it comes time to study for a test, gather together one or more friends and do your studying as a group. Not only will this make studying less tedious and more enjoyable but also one of your friends might bring some fresh ideas or insights to the study material that you had not even thought of before.

Remember the children's book about the little engine and his
task of pulling the cars up the steep hill. He learned one of life's rules . He made the seemingly impossible task come true by believing. "I think I can, I think I can", he said. He said
it until he believed it. Then it became a reality. He did it! 

Amy M. Potavin

As a Professional Coach, I am frequently asked, "why is this
so hard?"

Now this question often comes in many different forms, such
as "Why is such-and-such at my job so hard?" Or, "Why is
addressing this issue with my child, spouse, family so
hard?" Or, "Why is it so hard to accept this thing about
myself?" Or the REALLY big question.... "Why is life so
hard?"
 

Ariel and Shya Kane

Start with the idea that how you do anything is how you do everything and it will empower you to investigate how you relate, not just in a love relationship, but also with yourself and all others. This defuses the mindset of looking to fix what is ‘broken’ and sets you on the path to having magical relationships in all areas of your life. Your DNA is unique and in every cell of your body. The way you relate to life and to others is also unique to you. The way you operate is predictable so it will repeat itself over and over again. Of course, there will be instances when you do not react as you usually do, but if you look at the overall pattern of your behavior, you will start to identify these predictable, recurring ways of relating. In other words, in certain situations with certain types of people, you usually respond the same way.
 

Shirley Ryan

We spend our entire lives looking for ways to get what we want and to feel good. The fact of the matter is that it’s actually pretty simple. Here we have two choices in life: living a love-based life or living a fear-based life. Many feelings encompass these two areas. The first is anything that brings pleasure: peace, joy, acceptance, and those things that feel good. Then there is anything that brings pain: sadness, disgust, anger and fear. Of course there are many blends within feeling states, but we won’t be looking at blends.
 

Joanie Winberg

Most people are looking for happiness and long for that true feeling of success, peace and serenity. It’s what we all strive for in our fast paced lifestyle. “Being happy is a choice you face every day of your life. Laughter and a sense of humor will not only help you feel better, it will help you instantly shift to high positive energy and diffuse a stressful situation,” states Joanie Winberg in her book, Rising to the Top, A Guide to Self Development. And while we all know that happiness can help with stress, did you also know that it can be a decisive factor in your success, your rise to the top. The ability to reach all your goals and finally make the kind of money you always knew you were capable of making, lies in finding your happiness within.

Many people suffer with low self esteem. The interesting thing is that your self esteem is not dependent on the facts, it is dependent on your interpretation of the facts. Here is a simple strategy to improve your self esteem in such a way that it improves your life as well.
 

BEWARE!

WHY do so many people let their dreams die unlived?

One reason is the negative cynical attitudes of other people. These
people are not enemies, they are friends, even family members. If our
friends are negative towards our dreams or aspirations . . . our
friends can kill us.

You get excited about the possibility of a new job, a new idea, or a
new image. You decide to give up smoking, lose weight, join a
Gymnasium, or see the opportunity to make money, do more meaningful
work, rise to a personal challenge, or create a new image; revving up
for this stimulating new prospect.

Goals stalled? Always running behind? Stuck in a rut?

Procrastination means “putting it off”. Whether it’s a career
goal, a home project, or something about your daily life, a
sustained plateau on a goal can rattle your motivation, challenge
your thinking. And that can eventually mean that you’re putting
off your LIFE, not just a task.

The key is to push through these plateaus to see the finish line.
Take a good look, reassess your strategy, ask some questions,
make some changes. Not dealing with it, won’t make it go away.
Stop putting off your life!
 

(Adapted from Dr John Maxwell)

"Within you right now is the power to do things you never
dreamed possible. This power becomes available to you just
as soon as you can change your beliefs."
- Maxwell Maltz

The vital importance of managing (controlling) ones thoughts, as well as
maintaining a positive attitude on the stair-case to success...
in business and in the journey of life.
