Defining NLP is a challenge in itself...

N is for Neuro
The only way to get direct information from our environment is by using one of our five senses. The Neuro part of NLP is about the way we process this information in our nervous system and our brain.

L is for Linguistic
Once this information is processed we can use it by communicating it to others (external communication) or to ourselves in order to analyse it (internal communication). We can code informations and communicate them in many ways such as verbal or even non-verbal communication and that's exactly what the Linguistic part of NLP is about.

P is for Programming
The Programming part of NLP deals with the ability that we have to change our "mental software" in order to change the way we act.

Defining NLP for someone who has never heard of it is not obvious. Let's take a look on some definitions proposed by Steve Bavister and Amanda Vickers in their book Essential NLP.

1-The science of how the brain codes learning and experience.
2-A process that analyses excellence in human behaviour in such a way that the results created by that behaviour can be duplicated by almost anyone.
3-An attitude and a methodology that leaves behind a trail of techniques.
4-A revolutionary approach to human communication and development.
5-A set of procedures whose usefulness not truthfulness is the measure of its worth.
6-A user's manual for the brain.

As you may see, it's not easy to explain Neuro-Linguistic-Programming in some words so let's dig down deeper. I have chosen these definitions because in my view, each one focuses on one important aspect of NLP. Have a great time reading this blog...

Can you believe it?

You may believe in god, or in magic, but can you belive that?
