The basic concept of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) is modeling. And the basic of NLP modeling technique is the law of cause and effect, which states that like causes always produce like effects. The great thing about modeling is that you really don’t have to understand how or why the tactics of your model work. You simply need to choose your model, analyze, and work on acquiring them (by the law of cause and effect), you can then enjoy the same levels of success.

With modeling, you also don’t need to understand why something works. It is simply cause and effect in operation. You simply commit to reproducing the same causes and the rest takes care of itself. So, if you want to achieve something, find someone who has already achieved what you want to achieve. Then analyze what they are doing, specifically to produce those results. Finally, commit to taking action. Replicate the causes of success and the product will not evade you.

You can always put into your subconscious mind that you are a non-smoker and you are constantly working on improving your health.

So, sit down with pen and paper and write out all the reasons you should stop smoking. The key is to be honest with yourself.

Dealing with procrastination is a skill that everybody needs. Typically, we think of procrastination as being an action of delay. However in NLP, procrastination is more descriptive of what our brains are actually up to. We always choose the thing that is associated with the best feeling (kinesthetic representation).

This firing of information that is not currently relevant to the present. Critical appraisal of what is currently being experienced is an enemy of relaxation.

Hypnosis. When thoughts and ideas are not evaluated, not critically assessed, we become susceptible to suggestion. That is, in our relaxed state we take the words we are hearing as the agent of control. So, hypnosis doesn’t have nothing to do with black magic, hocus pocus, mind control, etc. Read more about self hypnosis here: free self hypnosis intruction and stage hypnosis here: learn about stage hypnosis
