How to stop procrastination Now

"He was forever taken aback by [New York's] pervasive atmosphere of purposefulness the tight focus of its drivers, the brisk intensity of its pedestrians" (Anne Tyler).

The number one reason that people procrastinate and loose time is that they loose focus and become overwhelmed.
They take their senses and focus off their Goal and move to a larger,more sensory acute picture of something else. Something else can be anything that creates a type of Hypnosis over their attention and becomes bigger than the original Goal.


Park your outcome at the forefront of your mind until you get it
If we were to ask people about their submodalities while they are wanting help with focus we will note that the Goal is further away and in some way obscured from attainment (reach/view/sound) thus depleting the emotion and intensity from it being achievable.


Decide to stay Focused
Getting distracted is rarely logical and quite often emotional, a feeling that is less then desirable seems to somehow wash ones earlier best intentions away. 
It is usually not until much later that one realizes they have been distracted and by then they have no idea where to begin again ... and so they don't. 

Make it compelling Motivate yourself 
And yet strangely from time to time a reminder says "I must" do _____________ pops up and "Must" being a model operator of necessity is hardly compelling and especially compared to "I really want to" ___________

Just Imagine how it will be when you have it
One of the best ways to change this is to create a trance of having the end result, a trance after all is just a suggestion that does not need to ponder what if at every avenue.

A light trance after all can be compared to a vivid day dream, like a mini break, an infusion of happiness a cocktail of delight  even a moment of paradise.

Create a Plan and Prioritize 
People rarely plan to fail but by not planning and prioritizing their time and commitments often do. 
Emotions  are helpful in  sensory awareness and calibration but also are way more useful when managed, think of emotions like soda bubbles nice if you have a few in your soda but too many and it fizzes over leaving a sticky mess over  absolutely everything when you least expect it and nothing sweet or cold to drink. 




Check your emotions at the Door
If a person where to respond emotionally more often than not it can be difficult to predict any consistency in purposeful productivity, and yet easy to predict an emotional eruption sooner or later.

Manage yourself and begin to notice if and when your emotions are getting the best of you. commit to taking control of your own state of mind and well being.

NLP has numerous ways to help you with this, just pick one.
Let me know how you get on.

Changing outcomes in communication

NLP is an extensive variety  of skills that can be applied to any genre that you can think of to improve it and communication is a huge part of this.

Internal representation
If you would like to improve anything outside of yourself you must first improve the ways that you represent information inside of yourself.

Feel great for no reason at all ... It feels Great
The way you feel is a great indicator as to how and if you are staying on course with your own self management.

Consider the impact of your non verbal communication first
The way you feel is communicated to others through the way that you communicate first Non verbally and then Verbally.

Calibrating Rapport, pacing and leading are all parts of excellent communication, we should understand that communication is much like dancing, and their are people who can dance, people who can dance well and Dancers.


Any easy way to gauge how you are communicating is to ask yourself, how do I feel in this moment.
If the answer is great then this is a solid foundation for communicating well.

Communication is much like a Dance 
After all even if a Dancer was excellent if they performed while in a really bad mood and were not able to maintain sync with their partner they would have a bad performance.

Often times sensory awareness begins before even non verbal communication, people can get a sense of how you are communicating with yourself, the world and or them at an instinctual level.

Set the Emotional Tone
In fact Dancing is completely non verbal and yet we really enjoy the emotion that is communicated in Dance, and we expect to be impacted by the emotion, don't we.

As you know communicating well has many variables and how you feel is just the foundation. Great and consistent communication is an art that takes time and practice to develop.

If you are running into confrontations often then consider this.

Remember this 
Remember Virginia Satir who point blank tells us "The meaning of your communication is the response you are getting".


Sometimes it is as simple as taking a breath and stop talking to really begin to listen.
It may feel as if you have been listening for hours, but communication will not change until you change how you feel about the communication.

If you get upset then your communication will probably upset others too.

Stop and compose yourself 
Stop and take a breath, as often as you need too.

Sometimes people are not really saying the very thing they mean, calibrate for congruence in peoples communication, so you can help them find the solution they are really looking for.

Consider other peoples Maps
We have spoken many times now about people Maps, Perceptions, Beliefs, Values, Opinions all the things that create a persons way of thinking or processing and understanding the things that  are happening.

So, communication excellence is a long term journey of personal excellence, a great question to ask yourself is what will great communication mean to me.

Good Communication equals Success 
Tony Robbins says Successful people are also great communicators.
What can you do right now to change how you are communicating ?

Milton Model Language Extended Quote

Richard Bandler Said The truth is people like to feel good for absolutely no reason at all.



My client Susan said she noticed that when she concentrated on feeling better she was so surprised how much better she began to feel more of the time.


Yesterday I was talking to my friend Stuart who said when he got serious about getting in great shape, he began to show up to Run each morning, the more he got in to the rhythm of it, the better he noticed he felt about his own achievement, which led him to accomplish much more in his business life too.


Milton Erickson used to use the technique of indirectly saying a thing by shifting accountability to another speaker.
(I mean it wasn't as if I said is .. They said it, I am only passing the message along ...)

A funny thing happens then, I didn't say it but the person I am talking to gets to experience the full impact of the message without having any conflict in their conscious mind.

This language pattern is so simple and handy it bypasses the critical faculty and immerses the listener into their own imagination before they know it.

Of course you shouldn't just take my word for it, should you.
Some of the Greatest NLP Trainers of all time say, chunk information down into bite size pieces and then you will find yourself having as much fun as possible learning new things.

NLP Book Club

We are looking forward to our 5th month of NLP Bookclub and each month has been an incredible learning process for all of us.

The Book we are working through is Unlimited power by Anthony Robbins.
I have read and re read this book many many times and think it is a great place to begin putting together a framework to use and apply NLP in everyday life.

As a Trainer of NLP this has given me a great opportunity to show people how to begin to gain unconscious competence in NLP processes in every day life.

As a Coach this has helped me to share ways in which NLP can immediately change perceptions, feelings and actions which ultimately creates life style.

Every one of the participants return over and over again to enjoy the progress they have made since beginning 5 months ago, and look forward to the progress their Bookclub Colleagues are making too.

NLP Book club is a great opportunity to relax, sort your feelings and experiences out and discuss solutions with some great people who are also making progress, let our hair down, discuss current issues.


This week we concluded with the idea that when feeling down, what was really important was finding a song to fill your heart and using it as a bridge to a more resourceful state and then beginning to apply and use the things we already know.
Here is a song that evokes strong anchors in me from my childhood, a time when just by watching this show I began to dream of possibilities outside of my own current experience ... can you find your own song ?
