Successful people start with a dream or an important goal and have a very clear vision of what they want. They are very good at keeping focussed on the end result of what they want to achieve, whilst taking the steps they need to get there. NLP (Neuro-linguistic-programming) is often called the psychology of excellence; it teaches people to model excellent behaviour because the insights, skills and techniques it embodies are the result of more than 30 years of studying the way high-achievers think, talk and behave. It is an ever-growing, dynamic field.

What do you really want?

Think of the best experience you have had in the past 6 months; what happened? who was there? what were you doing? where were you? why was it so special to you?
Think of the worst experience in the past 6 months. What made it feel so bad?
If you had a magic lamp, what would be your first 3 wishes?
If you won the lottery, what would be the first 3 things you would pay for?
Write down 3 things you really feel strongly about
If you had to go away suddenly for 6 months, what 3 things would you do first?
Imagine you could do whatever you wanted. What would you do?
If you had only 6 months left to live, what would you do?

These exercises will help you consider what is really important to you. When we understand our true values, what really matters to us, we can be much more focussed and motivated to achieve our goals.

What is the happy ending in your story?

Think of a time in the future when you are really living the way you want to live.
Get a picture in your mind of that ideal time.
Where are you? Who and what are around you? What are you doing?
Really focus on that picture to make it as bright and vivid as you can, put sounds in and really get into the feeling of how good it feels.

Now you are ready to start the plot and plan each chapter of your story.

You can hear more about NLP and my unique Metaphorm programme which will help guide you towards your Happy Story. See www.breakthroughbreaks.com
