This month lets look at some top advice on how to improve your NLP skills. Remember some of the most common sense is often the most uncommon practise, so beware...

1) Practise telling stories with the purpose of inducing some kind of state or feeling in another person.

2) Practise using submodalities inside your head to create a wide variety of resourceful states that can be useful in your life and practise ANCHORING to access them when you need them.

3) Practise looking at every situation from multiple points of view... the more ways you have to look at the same event, the more effective you will be in dealing with it.

4) When you PRACTISE USING EMBEDDED COMMANDS, you'll find that you DO THEM CONSISTENTLY and as you MASTER THEM, you'll find yourself able to DO THEM NATURALLY !!

5) Write out as many ambiguities as you possibly can. Notice them wherever you can and make it your focus to be aware of them continuously.

6) Write out your outcomes and make them well formed according to the NLP format: Positive, Ecological (good for all concerned), Specific, Sensory Based (what'll u be able to see, hear, feel, etc..) and in your Control.

7) Whenever you find yourself talking to much to yourself, get into the habit of shutting yourself up and change the Submodalities to make yourself feel better.
