Enhance Wellness by Doing Something Different with NLP

Many people would say that it is absolute madness to keep on doing the same thing, time after time, expecting to get a different result or for something different to happen. Alternatively, many people, especially those in the personal development, NLP and wellness fields of varying natures, would describe it as intelligent to have a goal and be wonderfully flexible about how you go about achieving it.

Article Body:

Many people would say that it is absolute madness to keep 
 
on doing the same thing, time after time, expecting to get a 
 
different result or for something different to happen. 
 
Alternatively, many people, especially those in the 
 
personal development, NLP and wellness fields of varying 
 
natures, would describe it as intelligent to have a goal and 
 
be wonderfully flexible about how you go about achieving 
 
it.

It is this intelligent idea of enhancing wellness that I want to 
 
highlight today with NLP.

If what you¡¯re doing isn¡¯t working or increasing your 
 
wellness, do something else;

I was working with a corporate client recently and had 
 
been working with one of their senior managers using 
 
NLP and various other techniques. He had wanted 
 
his team to carry out a piece of project work in a certain 
 
way. He said to me that he had told them again and again 
 
(12 times in total), but they still weren¡¯t doing what he 
 
wanted. I pointed out that if he wanted them to change 
 
what they were doing, he might have to change what he 
 
was doing; I suggested that he be more flexible. Together, 
 
We explored some alternative approaches and things 
 
started to change.

If you are fed up with getting the same results to certain 
 
things over and over, with whatever it is that you are 
 
looking to change, use this notion to begin to disrupt your 
 
existing pattern. If you are just following the idea through in 
 
some way, by definition you are perceiving it differently 
 
and doing yourself lots of favours. You'll be increasing your 
 
wellness.

So, firstly, identify an area where you¡¯ve been doing the 
 
same thing over and over hoping to get a different result. 
 
Or an area that you want to increase your wellness. It may 
 
relate to a behaviour, habit, circumstance or situation; just 
 
choose something that you want to change the outcome of.

Then secondly, clarify your goal, that is, clarify what you 
 
want to achieve. Do this by asking yourself what you want 
 
and how you will know when you have got it.

Thirdly, construct or create a list of the different approaches 
 
and behaviours you have tried already in order to achieve 
 
this goal or increased wellness. Or note down what it is that 
 
you are doing currently.

Finally and most simply, put together a nice list of some 
 
alternative behaviours you will use to achieve the goal and 
 
increase wellness. Enlist some help ifyou feel it would 
 
help. When you have compiled a good list (put stuff down 
 
on that list that may well not seem right for you, it is good to 
 
explore avenues that in the past made you feel 
 
uncomfortable from time to time). Then, of course, look at 
 
starting to do the things that are on your list; do them.

What I am wanting to get across here is the idea of being 
 
more bendy.

Your mind and your body really are a single system, so it 
 
follows that physical flexibility can often lead to greater 
 
mental flexibility. There are certain activities which can 
 
greatly increase physical flexibility, including things like 
 
Yoga, Martial arts, Dancing, Swimming and lots of other 
 
general forms of exercise.

Practicing any of these will increase your overall 
 
behavioural and mental flexibility and level of wellness. In 
 
addition, find opportunities to break habitual patterns. For 
 
instance, most mornings when I shave, I do it in a different 
 
way. This requires me to stay aware and vary my patterns. 
 
The more flexibility you have, the more flexibility you can 
 
bring to situations involving others. Often, when people are 
 
seeing me for reducing their weight, I might suggest that 
 
they look at the doing things like swapping their knife and 
 
fork hands around for a week.

So, go ahead and identify a habitual pattern and change it 
 
to enhance your wellness. Especially if it is something you 
 
are not entirely happy about.

Here is a list of some things that you can do to interrupt 
 
your existing patterns and increase your wellness, you can 
 
be as creative as you want with these things.

-Eat a food that you never usually eat

-Go for a walk at an early hour in the morning

-Watch a TV show you would never usually watch

-Take a different journey home from work

-Take a cold shower

-Answer your phone with the opposite hand to usual

-Laugh and smile for no reason

The sooner you start doing this, the more fun you¡¯ll have 
 
with it. Then often, the higher your increase in wellness. So 
 
many people I encounter, know all this stuff or read it and 
 
still don't do these things and wonder why they are not 
 
getting what they want. Do soemthing different today and 
 
you'll be amazed how your wellness rockets.
