In this episode, I dive into the transformative power of changing our perspectives, particularly through the lens of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP). I share a realization I had recently: without altering our perspective, we cannot see our stories or circumstances in a new light. This episode is dedicated to exploring how shifting our viewpoint can unlock new opportunities for growth, healing, and self-discovery.

I begin by discussing the essence of NLP, which is fundamentally about understanding our mind's patterns and recognizing our blind spots. Our subconscious mind often operates on autopilot, replaying past experiences and limiting beliefs that keep us stuck in a comfort zone, even if that zone is uncomfortable. I emphasize the importance of reprogramming our inner narrative to change how we perceive our experiences and, ultimately, our reality.

One of the key techniques I introduce is subconscious timeline work. I explain how our subconscious does not recognize time, which means we can revisit past experiences and reframe them to create a more empowering narrative. By visualizing our future as if it has already happened, we can familiarize our subconscious with success and reduce the fear associated with pursuing new opportunities.

I also introduce the concept of perceptual positions, using the metaphor of watching a movie. By changing our viewpoint—whether as an observer in a theatre or as a distant camera operator—we can detach from the emotional intensity of our experiences. This shift allows us to gain insights and empathy, reducing stress and opening up new solutions that were previously hidden by our emotional responses.

Additionally, I discuss the technique of reframing, which involves changing the frame around our experiences to see them from a different angle. This simple yet powerful tool can transform obstacles into stepping stones, helping us to let go of limiting beliefs and embrace endless possibilities.

If you are ready to learn these tools, techniques and methods for changing your beliefs, thoughts and stories, I invite you into the OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification.
