NLP Sales Best Practice For Confidence

One of the presuppositions of NLP sales is to always operate from a physiology of excellence. This means if you want to be excellent at something, then adopt the posture and attitude of those people that are excellent at doing said action. Seems simple enough. Now there is a lot more to actually modeling someone, say like a boxer or great salesperson, than their posture. But how about if I let you in on a little secret body position that ALL people naturally use when they experience victory. A simple gesture you can use when your frustrated and down on yourself. Or when you have negative internal dialog just ruining your day.

We’ll get into the actual mechanics of the gesture in just a minute. First a little background as to how this was discovered and what it really means. In NLP there is a technique called a pattern interrupt. Of course it sounds complicated but really its quite simple. A pattern interrupt occurs any time you’re doing something routine and that routine is interrupted. Lets say your driving to your office. You’re thinking about what you need to get done that day. Running the same pattern you do every morning. Then out of no where a tree crashes down in front of you. This is where the magic of a pattern interrupt occurs. Your normal routine has been interrupted and you have the choice about how to react to the situation.

How about making the decision that you’re glad to be alive. That tree could have landed right on top of you had you been just a few minutes earlier. Think of how lucky you are to have missed it.

You notice it’s at that time of the pattern interrupt that you can make changes as to where your thoughts are going. At the time of the pattern interrupt, your unconscious mind is looking for instruction from you.

“I need some instructions,” is what your unconscious is saying to you.

You see the unconscious mind is great at running patterns or programs. But it is incapable of making a decision. That is where the conscious mind comes in. Can you grasp the power of this?

As I promised, let me give you that gesture that you can use anytime to get yourself into a positive state. I guarantee you’ve seen the gesture before. In fact, it is innate across all human cultures. I discovered this technique by reading an article in sciencedaily.com. The article discussed that even people who are blind from birth, and have never even see another person, use this gesture when they’ve achieved something great. It’s called the fist pump. And I know you’ve done it before. Either you’ve thrown both fists in the air and shouted. Or you’ve pulled them back into your side. Whatever variation you use, it will instantly make your unconscious mind believe that you just succeeded at something great.

This technique is effective in all manners of different areas. Whether you’re working on some frustrating project or just need to get in a better mood. Throw your fists in the air and say “Yes!” We’re all unconsciously programmed to react to this gesture. You can even do it in front of other people by pretending you’re stretching and say the “Yes!” under your breath. It works for me every time.

At first I thought my co-workers would think I had finally lost it, but then I tried it in front of them and everyone was so excited they wanted to know what happened. Human beings are so attuned to the fist pump that everyone just assumed I had done something great or something incredible just happened to me.

Insights into Simplifying Life

In between having a career one must also stop to introspect that what kind of life we are actually leading. One feels overjoyed while rushing between meetings the whole day, but it can be tiring also. What type of life do we want then?

You need to think about what is precious for you. Your circle of family and friends will always be there to help you out during tough times. But at times, you need to experience real adventure, fun and freeness to see that life is full of fun and there is much more than only work. Take out time to appreciate what is happening in your vicinity.

Reinventing your own life may not be the perfect solution, figure a way out to ease your life. Take a decision on what you consider to be most precious, have a life centered around those values and reduce the mess that doesn’t help you reach your goals. First and foremost, think of what is valuable, and before you start simplifying it, you need to qualify what are the determinants of a high quality life.

We have a consumerist attitude of living life, which tends to contradict the whole idea of simplifying life. As we keep living, we tend to accumulate more and more over a period of time and the world thinks that we are extremely interested in possessing objects and material wealth. It could be more than the physical items as well. One could be collecting activities also. This behavior makes us like a rat, which is always racing from one experience to another. Even though, this gives us importance and desire to be possessed, we are not always happy and satisfied.

There is an emergence of movement of simplicity in the flood of stuff. While we work rapidly and constantly, we become a hamster on a wheel. A large part of our salary goes in meeting our regular expenditure and we only save a handful of our income. We all need to keep remembering that life is short.

You need to come up with an objective that will make you happy and content. This same principle can be applied to your day to day routine. Try and take out time on a daily basis for new opportunities. Leverage time management which means one needs to do lesser things of higher importance. At the end of the day, simple living is all about a philosophy.

Living life simply means unburdening our lives and making it more light and clean. The goal should be to create more rounded, simple and lateral relationships with all the key aspects of our life: which includes the activities we accomplish, bonding with people in our contact and our connections with the world at large. This is in a profound sense a life which is straight on the outside and rich inside.

For many people, living life in a simple fashion means catering to gardening needs, taking a walk in the park every afternoon or reading one’s favourite books. By doing this, one tends to reduce the worldly possessions to ensure that one is never in a hurry. You can now focus on the world outside because you have lesser distraction to bother you now. Some people believe that life is all about gathering money and power. For people who have been focusing on the opposite, they know that everybody needs some time in the world to reflect, think and also get adventurous. Money and control are nothing in front of happiness in life.
