According to Tony Robbins, NLP techniques can be used to change your mindset, your response to difficult situations, and how you view yourself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on to find the five best Tony Robbins NLP techniques.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tony Robbins: NLP Techniques to Try<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Try the following Tony Robbins NLP techniques to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-change-your-life-in-5-simple-steps\/\">change your life<\/a> for the better. It all starts with changing your posture:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1) Change Your Posture&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Tony Robbins, NLP can be achieved by changing your physical state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn how to control our mental-emotional-physiological states, we need to explore the factors that influence our states in the first place. As mentioned, <strong>your physiology\u2014your posture, facial expressions, breathing, and gestures\u2014and the things you focus on both determine your state.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people develop physiological and mental patterns that consistently produce the same states. For example, if you have a habit of hanging your head down and dwelling on thoughts about your failures, you will habitually feel disheartened and depressed; as we know from our discussion of how habits are wired into the brain, the neural pathways for these postures, thoughts, and emotions become well-trodden, reinforcing the patterns.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First, develop patterns of physical states and movements that support a happy, powerful, strong emotional state. <\/strong>For example, if you\u2019re standing tall and breathing deeply, you\u2019ll feel more confident than if you have your shoulders slumped and your eyes down.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get started, try this exercise for the next seven days: Five times a day, spend one minute giving yourself a huge smile in the mirror. Each time you do, your smile will strengthen your neural pathway for happiness. Go a step further by also making yourself laugh three times a day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2) Change Your Focus<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What you choose to focus on determines how you experience life and what emotions you feel. <\/strong>Think of your focus as a camera lens and reality as a party: Your camera can only capture one small piece of the whole scene. If the camera focuses on a couple arguing at the party, it gives the impression that the party is full of conflict, but if you focus on a group of friends dancing and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/advantages-of-laughing\/\">laughing<\/a>, it makes it seem like the party is fun and lively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3) Consider Your Identity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Although your identity is not fixed or innate, it dictates your behavior, as people subconsciously strive to act in ways that reinforce their identity. <\/strong>For example, if you identify as a low-achieving person, you\u2019re less likely to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-push-yourself\/\">push yourself<\/a> to excel\u2014regardless of natural ability\u2014than someone who identifies as a high-achieving person. As such, your identity determines your decisions, actions, and fate; so, it\u2019s important that it pushes you in a positive direction. Ensuring that this is the case may involve needing to remake your identity, if it\u2019s not currently pushing you to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-become-the-person-you-want-to-be-2\/\">who you want to be<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4) Ask the Right Questions&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-ask-the-right-questions\/\">Asking the right questions<\/a> is a key aspect of Tony Robbins\u2019 NLP method. Thinking is merely a sequence of asking and answering questions\u2014in other words, virtually every thought you have is preceded by a question, even if it\u2019s not one you consciously asked. <strong>The questions you ask yourself set the tone for your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-break-negative-thought-patterns\/\">thought patterns<\/a>, so it\u2019s critical to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/make-a-habit\/\">make a habit<\/a> of consciously asking yourself positive, empowering questions that will lead to empowering thoughts.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you\u2019ve tried and failed to skateboard three times in a row, ask yourself, \u201cWhat do I need to do differently?\u201d This is an empowering question that\u2019s framed to find a solution, and it leads to empowering, concrete solutions, such as, \u201cAdjust my footing.\u201d Don\u2019t ask yourself, \u201cWhy can\u2019t I get it?\u201d This is a disempowering question that leads to disempowering answers such as, \u201cI\u2019m not coordinated enough.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5) Use Words to Shape Your Experience<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as your questions influence your focus and thought patterns, so do your words. <strong>Change your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors by changing the words you habitually use<\/strong> to describe feelings and experiences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Use words that dull negative emotions and intensify positive ones. For example, say that you are \u201ca bit peeved\u201d instead of \u201cabsolutely furious.\u201d&nbsp;<\/li><li>When you\u2019re upset, use words that disrupt your emotional pattern. For example, replace the word \u201cjealous\u201d with \u201coverloving,\u201d which is a funny enough word that it might divert your thoughts to the reasons you love the person who\u2019s making you jealous.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Expand your vocabulary to include more words that reflect how you want to feel.<strong> <\/strong>Having a limited vocabulary limits your ability to feel and express emotions.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Follow the above Tony Robbins NLP techniques to dramatically improve your life today.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the best Tony Robbins NLP techniques?
