Self Modelling

If you know how you get yourself stressed then you could do it with even greater skill unless you would like some new choices!

Self modelling i.e. making yourself consciously aware of what you so often take for granted with what you do unconsciously is a means of building consistency into the results that you achieve. If for example you know how you make that outstanding sale then you can reproduce it. If you know how you put over your points persuasively then you can have consistency in the way that you do it in the future. Similarly if you know how you get yourself stressed then you could do it with even greater skill unless you would like some new choices! If you know how you get yourself depressed once again you could do it to order or you could begin to change the pattern.

Modelling is at the heart of NLP

Modelling is at the heart of NLP. Most successful people model naturally. They know what they do that works and they repeat that success. Watch a top athlete or sportsperson preparing themselves to compete; they will have a sequence of behaviours and thoughts that they use because they know it is what gets them into the state they need to play well. Have you ever seen the All Blacks at the start of a match. No doubt about what works for them!
