What’s Your Filter?
Every single second there are literally millions of bits of information hitting your senses. How many can your conscious mind perceive? About 40. Bits. That means, that out of all the noise that’s flying around you, all the time, all the sounds, sights, smells, physical sensations, your brain has got to quickly (in about half […]
Compared To Whom?
Comparison is essential. We do it all the time without even knowing it. Even sitting there, reading this now, you’re subconscious is busily comparing your state now, including all your thoughts, feelings, etc, to what it might be should you make slight changes in your posture or how you’re sitting. If it comes up with […]
Watch The Be
Try this out next time you’re speaking about yourself, either to somebody else or to yourself. Avoid using the “be” verb. This is like a verbal equals sign.

Look For Treasure
One of the cool things about the human brain is don’t know much about it. Why is that cool? Because there’s so much potential. Think about it, when you think about your quadriceps or your nose hairs or something, it’s just an easy to understand, bio-mechanical piece of equipment. Once you know what it does, […]
Failure or Feedback?
One of the presuppositions, or basic beliefs, of NLP is that there is no failure, only feedback. Now, anytime somebody starts off a sentence with “there is…” or “there isn’t…” watch your back. After all, you could take any sentence that anybody says starting out with those two words and question them with “according to […]
The Metaphor Metaphor
Most people are surprised when they find out how much of our everyday language is filled with metaphors. To get a bit technical, words themselves are metaphors, for the ideas the words represent.
