Personal Development Plans and NLP Techniques

By: Wendy Jones

Do you realise the power of having a personal development plan? It's like having your very own blueprint for success in your life - tailored to create your life exactly how you want it to be. If you could learn how to build your own personal development plan, would you be willing to devote 10 -15 minutes per day to nurture it and put it into practise?

Have you ever wondered what makes successful people successful? And why they actually reach the pinnacle of their careers and earn top dollar, while you seem to struggle even to make a decent living?

The way I see it is this - the people who are able to achieve their goals and ambitions in life, with relative ease are much less inhibited, and even totally un-inhibited.

Successful people still experience nerves and feelings of anxiety when they find themselves in positions outside of their comfort zone, but they learnt some time ago, exactly how to manage their behavior and overcome their negative emotions and even eliminate them completely.

Successful people are constantly learning and adapting to methods that empower them. When they find something that works, especially where emotions and feelings are concerned, they repeat the behaviours that bring on those emotions until they become second nature.

If people can follow a simple plan that teaches them how to combat nerves and anxieties when faced with important situations - so can you.

If these people have learned how to remain calm and relaxed when they get into winning positions in sport, so can you.

And if successful presenters can learn how to conquer their fear of speaking in front of an audience, present their ideas, and wow the crowd, then so can you.

Successful people weren't always successful - they learnt how to become successful. So if people can learn how to overcome their frustrations and focus on the actions they need to achieve their ultimate goals and ambitions - so can you.

If you can dedicate 5 to 10 minutes each day to practising some simple NLP techniques, you can start to take control of your fears and frustrations and turn them into positive and empowering emotions.

NLP - or Neuro Linguistic Programming - in its simplest form is basically a method to help you control your thoughts and reactions in any given situation. When you experience negative emotions, like fear or nerves or anxiety, you are reacting negatively to that situation. NLP provides a mechanism that shows you how to take those negative reactions, and turn them round into positive and functional reactions that will start to empower you.

To get started, there are two very simple exercises you need to learn and practice:

1. You need to become aware of all the situations and environments that make you feel nervous, anxious and inhibited. Carry a little notebook in your pocket so that you can make note of them whenever they occur.

The reason behind this exercise is that you need to be aware of your barriers in order that you can start to break through them further down the road.

2. The second exercise is even easier - you simply need to write down how you would like to feel most of the time, and what feelings and behaviours you want to eliminate from your life.

Take you time to do step two thoroughly - the more detailed your list, the better you will be able to focus in on those areas, and create a personal development plan that supports your goals.
