Trouble Achieving Success? Fix Your Mental Map!

The benefits of using Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques are far reaching,  bearing in mind there are more than a hundred processes that cater to a wide range of issues. 
 
In this post, I’d like to touch on how we are continuously changing maps in our minds unknowingly that impact our performance. Imagine if you were to know the maps that you had in your memory and how to use them deliberately for better results.
 
Wouldn’t that be awesome? Another tool under your belt!
 
What Are Maps?
If you follow the sequence of points here you will stand a better chance of understanding how we create maps:
 

• We have five basic senses: visual, auditory, kinaesthetic, olfactory and gustatory. Otherwise known as the senses of seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling and tasting. We process our inner and outer worlds through these senses.  
• Within each of these senses lay finer distinctions - what you hear can be loud or soft, what you see can be clear or blurry, what you taste can be delicious or awful
• NLP clarifies that we use these distinctions to create meaning and code our experience. For example, a perfume we like smells pleasant and a perfume we dislike smells offensive.   

 
One of the main  benefits in understanding our maps is that we become more aware of our senses. 
 
Changing Maps 
Having now become aware of how you store your experience via the senses, the next step is to decide what you would like to change.
 
A simple example - let’s say you don’t like vegetables and you know they are good for you.
 
Changing the way you have stored vegetables could be a simple process of replacing a black & white picture to colour. If this is one of your drivers for change, it will instantly make vegetables appealing.
 
Imagine if you could expand your boundaries to give vegetables another chance.   Wouldn’t this be great for your health?  
 
Or extend it beyond to changing maps about specific types of work you loathe but have to do? Wouldn’t this augur well for your results at work?
 
This is how high performers are created!
