Everyday NLP Diary

Listening to my unconcious mind

I’ll learn one day, hopefully soon.

I’ll learn that when my unconcious mind is literally shouting at me not to do something, perhaps I shouldn’t let my conscious mind overrule. Especially as I know from past experience that it usually ends up with me losing out in one form or other.

Two recent scenarios

1. Last night I had a sneaky cheese sandwich at 9pm even though I knew I wouldn’t sleep well because of it and hey, I had a shite nights sleep.
2. At work, I recently took on a company on a retainer for three months, even though my unconcious mind was telling me they weren’t worth it. Two months in I am money down and not a happy customer.

Perhaps it’s a case of relaxing more and allowing my unconscious mind to build up his persuasive voice. Perhaps it’s just a case of doing what I am (unconciously) told.

Emotive words and timing

I work with words. I read them and write them and sometimes, like a fool, I think I own the exclusive meaning of them.

But, with all the will in the world, a dictionary can not do justice to a word, neither can a persons explanation. And, I still find many people with the same ideology - that they ‘know’ what a word means.

With my NLP hat on, I am reminded of concept that the ‘Map is Not The Territory’. There is some interesting ‘words’ about this on Wikipedia.

So, why the noise from me this morning? (more…)
