Emotions As Passengers, Not Drivers: Choosing & Changing Your State

A long time ago I promised to make a book using Tom Hoobyar’s NLP stories. He and I got a good start on it, and then life interrupted, and Tom passed on. So Susan Sanders, a good friend and stellar NLP’er, and I took the beginnings of a manuscript Tom H had created and turned it into a completed work. Today you’re getting an excerpt directly from the book, and one you haven’t seen before.

Motivation: Looking Back to Look Forward

I don’t know about you, for me this is the time of year when my motivation starts to suffer. The holidays are approaching, I become reflective about the year that is coming to an end and anticipatory about the upcoming year. My family is excited and begins discussing their plans for the season. Not to mention the chill outside makes me want a warm fire, cozy blanket and cup of hot chocolate. The motivation to

Overcoming Shyness

Overcoming Shyness By Tom Hoobyar Article Word Count 1861, average reading time 7 minutes. I want to tell you a story about a teenage boy who went to his first dance at a new school.

The Sound of Silence

You and I both know how important nonverbal communication is in our interactions with others. However, do we really know, and understand, all the parts and pieces that go into that nonverbal communication? It’s easy to overlook part of it, or to underestimate the importance of nuances when we talk to others. This is a nice piece on not only the importance of nonverbal communication, but also on the differences in the various rules of

Celebrate Yourself

In this email you will hear about an interesting experience Dad had when he attended a graduation ceremony at NLP Comprehensive years ago. It was one of those times that wasn’t expected to stand out. He had anticipated attending the graduation ceremony, meeting great people, then going back to his life. This one experience impacted him at a much more profound level than expected, as is often the case. You’ll find much more about the

How to Beat Overload

Most of us feel that experience we call ‘overwhelm’ at one time or another, and more so as life seems to keep moving at a faster pace. Here’s a look at how to manage those experiences and have a little more energy for your self. It’s a little play with submodalities, the “molcules of meaning” in our imagination. Nice. Oh, naturally we go into this is some detail in both our Portable Practitioner Program, and

Where are your limits?

“People respond to their own model of the world/map of reality, not to reality itself. (The map is not the territory.)” This is perhaps the fundamental statement on which all of the rest of NLP is based. It’s our internal reality, self-created, that determines our world. Yes, we all walk on the same planet. But what we are aware of (and what we ignore) as we walk our path, is what determines our experience. This
