What you think is what you become – power of neuro linguistic programming
SHAYO, who is an only girl, was just 17 years old when she witnessed the first physical fight between her parents. The fight continued for months and finally led to her parents getting a divorce. The divorce had a negative effect on Shayo and as a result, she began to withdraw from the rest of her family. Shayo’s mother never understood what was wrong with her daughter, and would always refer to her as a ‘problem child’.
Shayo performed badly in school due to her inability to concentrate. Her results were very poor, and because of this she got transferred to different schools multiple times. She eventually graduated and travelled to Canada for her University degree. After her University education, Shayo was able to secure a well-paying job. When asked about marriage, Shayo always stated that she did not have the intention of getting married at the moment and still wanted to take her time.
Shayo is currently 33 years, but is finding it difficult to stay in a committed relationship. She constantly attracts the same type of men - either he sleeps with her and leaves, abuses her physically/emotionally, or is a serial cheat. This affected her selfconfidence and self-worth and she often feet like she is not good enough.
Desperate to find a solution, Shayo went on the Internet to get help, and stumbled upon the page of a Certified Life coach and trained Psychotherapist. After going through the Coach’s reviews, she booked an appointment with him. During the course of their sessions, Shayo had to go through a series of processes to deal with her childhood trauma, past experiences and begin the journey to healing, forgiveness and letting go.
The Coach at some point applied NeuroLinguistic Programming because Shayo had some limiting beliefs and barriers, which were affecting her choices of men, her self-esteem, self-worth and her life in general. Different coaching tools were also used in order to move Shayo from her cur- rent state to where she desires to be. Today, Shayo is better than she used to be. She has a healthy relationship with her family, and a good sense of self-worth. She is open to commitment again, and will find someone in due time.
Shayo is where she is today with the help of a Life Coach and Psychotherapist, who made use of different tools, one of them, is called: Neuro Linguistic Programming.
What is Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)?
Neuro Linguistic Programming is the systematic study of the thoughts (Neuro), Language (Linguistic) and the scripts running our lives (programming). NLP deals with understanding and developing the mind. It deals entirely with understanding the language of the mind. How it is designed to function and how it is molded by our personal experiences. It is the study of our subjective reality. Our mind, once properly understood influences every- thing, ranging from relationships, communication with friends, clients and personal outcomes in life. Below are some areas of life, an individual can apply NLP. 1.

NLP is a phenomenal mind/body connection tool that helps you gain mastery over your thoughts, self-worth/confidence, emotions, beliefs, work, business and life.
2. IN RELATIONSHIPS (MARRIAGES): The recent statistics holds a grim future for marriages and love relationships.
