Dressing For Success September 14, 2008
Posted by janey in : motivation , comments closedMotivation can come in many shapes and forms and different things will be motivational to different people, thats human nature.
In the corporate world one of the great unsung motivators is power dressing as it has the ability to motivate not only the wearer as they feel strong and powerful, but also the person observing them as we so often judge people on appearance alone which is a big mistake
Many people have no idea what dressing for success truly means. This is really too bad. What we wear actually plays a big part in how we’re perceived. Although this may sound a tad superficial, it is reality nonetheless.
So, how are you dressing for that big meeting today? Are you taking the professional route of someone who’s confident and successful, or are you just slapping on that raggedy suit you purchased back in college?
Give this some thought before you proceed. After all, our clothes are our armor in this urban jungle we all share.
Dress for success and power and you may be pleasantly surprised the way others perceptions of you will change. You’ll not only feel a million dollars but you will also give your confidence a boost into the bargain.
Sure power dressing can cost a little bit more but can you afford not to dress for success.
Introduction To Nlp - The Facts July 11, 2008
Posted by janey in : motivation , comments closedNeuro Linguistic Programming or NLP (see also: Modeling NLP)is a system developed in the late 70s by Richard Bander and John Grinder. The main concept of NLP is that a person’s outlook in life can create great changes. A positive outlook can result to good changes and negative outlook can create, well, negative changes. In NLP, it is believed that language and behaviors are highly structured and these structures can be modeled. The model then can be incorporated to a person hopefully to improve his or her way of thinking.
Regarding NLP
In health care, it is not enough that a sick person only takes medicines and receives treatment. The patient must also have a mindset that he is really going to get well. But unfortunately, this is not what usually happens to patients stricken with terminal illnesses. They usually get depressed and think only of negative things. And as they continue doing this, the worse their conditions become. (Source: Introduction to NLP) NLP then comes into play.
Neuro Linguistic Programming is not limited to persons with terminal illnesses. It can also be applied in an everyday basis. To have a positive attitude towards health can help you have a sound mind and body. With the right outlook to being healthy, illnesses and sickness can be prevented.
It may not be correct to say that NLP can cure a person of any sickness or disease. But together with the treatment, NLP proves to be a good ally in providing sound and effective health care.
NLP Techniques
In sports, Neuro Linguistic Programming can help you improve in your game. It helps you concentrate on things and make you become more aware of the things you’re doing. If there’s something wrong it can be corrected right away. For example, a golfer who can’t hit the ball properly because of his form would take notice of it and implement change. So the next time he hits a ball would be in proper form.
Health care can also benefit from NLP. Positive thinking is a powerful tool that can be used in the treatment and recovery of patients. Neuro Linguistic Programming can help develop patients develop the right attitude towards their condition and illness. With a positive outlook towards their condition, it can bring about improvement.
