How to extract a winning strategy
Hello everyone, Article 1012.
Have you ever wondered why at times you manage to achieve the results you have set for yourself and at other times not?
Are our results the result of a particular strategy?
As we explore strategies, we recreate the sequence we go through in executing actions, large and small.
In NLP, we include our internal sensory experience (state management, anchoring, etc.) within these strategies.
Not only do people have strategies for success, but also for failure.
Panic attacks, for example, can have a gradual build-up that always involves the same thoughts and observations (and therefore can be stopped).
The strategies are usually below the level of our conscious awareness.
As an example of a successful strategy, someone who likes to present can have a strategy like this:
Notice who is already smiling.
Feel encouraged by it.
Project this good feeling to the whole audience.
While someone who hates presenting may, unknowingly, do the opposite:
Look for someone who seems disinterested or critical.
Feel sick.
Reflect that feeling on the audience.
By recognizing the pivotal points in strategies and copying the inner successful strategies of others, we can significantly improve our performance.
Exercises suggested.
Think about something you do frequently - it could be as simple as brushing your teeth.
Write the sequence of what has to happen to make you feel: Okay, I did it.
Think about a reaction or habit you would like to change.
Break it down to the smallest possible detail.
What is the smallest change that would completely break the chain of events that would normally follow?
Now, think of something you want to improve and write the sequence of steps you are following.
What are the trigger points?
What are some simple things you could change that would give you better results?
How the senses appear in our memories and in our imagination.
NLP strategies help us discover what people do to get the results they get.
We can improve them and share what we have learned.
They are part of the NLP modeling process.
We are particularly interested in the sometimes overlooked sequence in which sensory information presents itself when we imagine and remember past events.
This includes our internal thoughts, the images we see, what we say to ourselves and what we feel, as well as what is happening in the outside world.
We can use symbols to record our results:
Visual = V
Auditory = A
Kinesthetic = K
Called up = r
Built = c
Digital = d
internal = i
External = e
Useful questions to bring out strategies (can be repeated several times).
"What happened first?"
"What happened next?"
"What does it mean?"
"Tell me more?"
"How do you know it?"
Using this approach, we can identify the triggers and anchors that will encourage or discourage specific behaviors.
Recommended exercise.
Choose a behavior you want to change.
Work out the sequence you need to follow to achieve that behavior.
Identify triggers that encourage behavior.
Make a few small changes to your strategy in order to get a more useful result.
For example, if we want to try to eat healthier, we may have a trigger that when we see a chocolate nonsense we are attracted to eat it.
We want to change the result of the trigger and, for example, drink a glass of water instead.
Future rhythm.
Imagine that in the future, when we see nonsense, we hesitate, smile and then drink a glass of water.
Try it.
Find a trifle on purpose and see how easy it is to drink a glass of water instead.
