One of the most consistent traits I have noticed with my clients over the years comes from their capacity to facilitate their own internal senses.
The ‘best of the best’ in terms of performance levels and abilities have an amazing capacity to change their internal senses, or submodalities. As soon as I ask them to do some elementary NLP processes – make a picture slightly bigger, bring it closer, change an aspect of the sound – it is done.
The high degree of flexibility they demonstrate with this seems to directly relate to their high performance standards. This is so for elite athletes, artists of various types as well as those who demonstrate a high capacity for Emotional Intelligence.
The ability to control and facilitate your own brain is directly proportional to your ability to amp up or down your internal senses. The good news is that this is a skill that is easily developed. You can do it anytime anywhere.
Conversely, those who struggle to reach the standards they are aiming for often find difficulty in easily moving their internal senses around – the player on the edge of the team as opposed to the champion.
An adverse side effect of this enhanced capacity though is, uncontrolled, it can also make darker emotions and states even more dark. Yet, this is often a place of motivation and inspiration for our artists – you aren’t necessarily doing them a favor by using NLP to make it go away.
There are many permutations, combinations and implications with these distinctions. We will explore them as we go on this site.
