In this episode of The Brain Language Podcast, we explain the power in having a Well-Formed Outcome. The Well-Formed Outcome is one of the organizing principles of NLP. Defining your outcome in terms of the way you would like to see things happen will increase the potential of it becoming a reality. In order to apply the NLP model, a person must first have an outcome. Knowing your outcome is the best place to start when you want to make a change.

Main Points:

· Understand the goal-reaching process and what makes goals happen

· Picture representation of goals for the coming year

· Construct the boards for optimum effectiveness

· Well-constructed boards that are ecological, align with values and Include 5 major areas of a person’s life: faith, fitness, family, friends, financial

· Eyes move easily around

· These work like magic

· You can create anything you want and do if you are willing to do the dream and do the work

1st know what you want: written and date-specific

A goal is a picture attached to a feeling: a feeling of already having achieved it.

We think in three different ways –experience is made up of VAKAG

The more senses involved the more likely the goal will manifest

The visual channel goes into the future – be able to see yourself reading the desired outcome

Movie, dissociated vs associated

Write goals down – use all three senses

Success = balance

Anyone can make a lot of money by working 14-16 hours a day and being focused at the expense of other areas of life.

Success is achieved when a person achieves their desired goals in a balanced

Desire, faith expectancy – in every desire is the seed of its manifestation

Do the work (be involved in the process)

Have faith that the desire will be reached

Goal questions: what skills do I have; what skills do I need?; how do I get the skills that I need?

Goals: decide what you want, give it attention, take feedback, effortless, expect

Does not achieve – feedback, adjust – may not know the bigger picture

Trust the details will be handled.

Give yourself a periodic reward

Closely timed

Understand what motivates you – what are you getting from this?

Divine discontent

Don’t get ready – get started

When reaching a goal – set a new one at the point of fulfillment

Falling short of a goal is not failure, only feedback. Many successful people don’t reach goals consistently. Set high goals to have greater achievement

I’m receiving more and more requests from people to help them with their lack of ability to fall asleep, stay asleep, and get restful sleep. So that they can wake up rested. Sleep is difficult because of the things we keep track of or have to take care of.

Sleep is a big part of calming your nervous system to manage stress (EP 79).

Hosts discuss why people can’t fall asleep.

1. How does NLP help us when it comes to getting a good night's sleep? Strategies, routine, remove lights, avoid, light, screens, heavy foods, alcohol, caffeine.

2. Now that you have a routine in place, here are some tricks and techniques for the occasional stress we might experience.

1. Relax your body. Stretch calves, neck muscles, facial muscles. One technique is to tense your whole body and then let go.
2. TELL YOURSELF THAT YOU ARE DOING TO FALL ASLEEP, STAY ASLEEP UNTIL I’M READY TO WAKE UP (unless there is danger or someone calls me)
3. Relax your jaw and your eyelids
4. Visualize a very relaxing scene, such as a lake with glass-like water, a beautiful landscape, the ocean on a calm day, a time when you were in nature and fell asleep. Use submodalities to adjust the color and movement, even the location. Experiment to see what causes your body to relax the most.
5. Counting seems to be popular. Here are some examples:
1, 2, 3, 4 – 2, 2, 3, 4 – 3, 2, 3, 4 and so on. Very monotonous but you have to think about it to keep track. Count backwards from 100. Also, see the numbers as you count.

6. Slow your breathing – you mentioned this last month.
7. See the word deeper and overwrite it over and over.
8. Some people like very cool to cold air temperatures. Sleep studies often have a person sleeping in 55-degree temps.

3. NLP techniques to help you: submodalities, mental lockers, change internal dialog, 6-step reframe, circle of excellence. Change your mental channel like a TV channel.

4. Recap the pattern:

1. Develop a routine that excludes screen time, lights, TV, alcohol, and heavy foods but includes, low light, relaxation, and feeling comfortable. The Circle of Excellence.
2. TELL YOURSELF THAT YOU ARE DOING TO FALL ASLEEP, STAY ASLEEP UNTIL I’M READY TO WAKE UP (unless there is danger or someone calls me)
3. Use a counting technique or the lockers and/or adjust submodalities
4. Make sure your body is relaxed.
5. Slow your breathing and make it slightly deeper.
6. Fall asleep. Ta-da! And you will. Before you know it you are waking up in the morning!
