Hello, this is Keith Livingston, welcome to "Learn NLP in a Flash." These free, brief, educational segments provide you with solid, usable NLP techniques you can apply to your life right away. Each segment explores the basics of an important and practical NLP technique. Today's subject is the New Behavior Generator... Do you want to generate automatic changes in your behavior or the behavior of someone else? Want to become more comfortable in some particular situation? More relaxed with others? More self- disciplined? Want to stop a bad habit or start a good one? The New Behavior Generator helps you to do just that -- fast and easy. Now, there are typically two problems people face when trying to change. 1) They have no map of their new behavior in their mind. They have no unconscious knowledge of how to do it. They don't know what it feels like to have that new behavior. 2) Some attitude or belief or past experience is giving them a bad feeling about changing. The New Behavior Generator takes care of the first of those two (other NLP techniques are more appropriate for the second). In other words, the New Behavior Generator helps you build a clear, compelling representation in your mind, not only of your goal but of the unconscious learning and skill necessary to achieve it. New Behavior Generator (with a role model) 1) After you've chosen a goal think someone who you know could do what you'd like to do in the way you'd like to do it. It could be a real person or a fictional caracter. 2) Watch a "mental movie" of them doing the behavior you would like to do. Pay particular attention to things like their posture, the quality of their movement, their rate of breathing, how they are speaking (if speaking is involved). From looking at them think about how they are feeling and what kind of internal images and/or dialog they are having to support their mental and emotional state. If there's anything you'd like to have happen differently go ahead and make adjustments in your movie. 3) Now watch the movie and "morph" their image to yours. In other words, change the image of them into you. See you up on the screen doing things exactly as they did. Keep their posture, characteristics of speech, rate of breathing etc. If you want to make adjustments after seeing the movie, go ahead. 4) Once you have it the way you want it, step in and experience the movie first person. See through your own eyes and hear through your own ears as you go through the experience behaving just as you ant to. Once again make any adjustments that would make it better for you. Now you've given your unconscious mind the mental and emotional states it needs to go out and get the job done the way you want it to! That's it for today's "Learn NLP in a Flash" segment.
