Decision Time

Posted on April 22nd, 2010.

My guess is that if you live in the UK you are well aware that in a couple of weeks or so we will have a new government.  The choice that you make when you place your cross on your voting slip won’t be the biggest decision that you have ever made but it will accumulate with everyone else’s to bring change, for better or for worse, for richer or poorer.  Even if your choice is to not vote, that too will have an effect.

We constantly make choices throughout our lives, some good, some bad, some important, some trivial.  Sometimes we even make decisions when in reality we have no right to make those decisions.  These can often be made when we have a significant emotional experience or when we are very young.  What often happens from there is that we forget that we have made that decision at a conscious level, but unconsciously we act out our lives as if the decision we made is the reality in which we live. Even when the reality is that it is not.

Imagine that when you were growing up someone criticised something that you had done and in the face of that comment you decided that “you weren’t good enough to succeed”.  This small split second decision can be carried through your life and can be the source of future unfulfilled dreams.

Working with people as I do, I frequently come across this sort of limiting decision.  That is what is so great about NLP Coaching, the techniques of NLP, Time Line Therapy™, and Hypnosis. This entire toolkit empowers you to help people to let go, or change decisions like these and in so doing you are able to assist your clients to achieve simply life changing results.

So ask yourself, what is it you believe about yourself that is holding you back, what is stopping you achieving what you want out of life?  If you could change anything right now what would it be?  Now go out into the future about a year after having decided to make that change now;  how does your life look? How do you feel?

My manifesto is for a World where personal responsibility counts alongside rights; where children are supported and stretched; where the degenerative failed cycles are broken; where honesty displaces spin; and the potential of humanity is unleashed beyond our currently limited conception of reality.

Change is easier than you think and not just the preserve of politicians. So vote for personal change.
