Secrets of Changing Minds

How is it possible to turn tragedy into prosperity, depression in joy, and chaos into success?

In this article I will introduce you to the power of changing beliefs, including step by step NLP strategies.

How is it that two people can face the same challenge, and one ends up fumbling it while the other glides through it like a pro? Is there a difference and if so, what is it?

If someone believes that he doesn't have the ability to change his situation, you can teach him new strategies that can help him make changes. But if he still believes that he is powerless, no change will take place.

3 Warning Signs of a Self-Sabotaging Belief

When you want to change someone's mind over a problem, whether it's about their lives, their relationships or your product, how do you know when the belief is more problematic than the problem itself?

1) Personal - Believing you are the problem
2) Pervasive - The problem isn't the problem, your whole life is the problem
3) Permanent - No resolution is possible

If you notice when someone feels this way about their problems, you know you have core underlying beliefs about that problem that you need to bust.

What Is The Root Belief Of All Limiting Beliefs?

All limiting beliefs can be grouped into these categories; I am broken, or the situation is broken.
On the other hand, healthy beliefs have their roots in the belief that people are not broken, that people have the resources they need to overcome any challenge or they have the ability to get those resources.

The key, then, is to shift the belief that you are broken into a belief that you are whole, that problems are not personal, pervasive or permanent, but impersonal, in one area of life and temporary.

How Do You Change a Belief?

1) Offer counter-examples. A belief can be built because the person has never seen evidence to the contrary. If someone has never seen a TV, they'll never believe that when you turn it on little people will appear in it. Bring them to a TV, and switch it on.
2) Break the belief down into tiny little bits. Use questions, but do it with kindness and compassion. Every generalization will break itself at some point, including that one. All generalizations? All the time? According to whom? How do you know that? Ever had a time when it never happened? What would happen if it didn't?
3) Re-frame the belief. It's not that you can't learn, it's that no one has ever shown you how. It's not that there's no such thing as a TV, only that you haven't seen one before. It's not that you can't change beliefs, it's that you've never noticed you do it all the time.

Until limiting beliefs are shifted, any attempts to change minds will be blocked by these beliefs. It's like walking into a room with the door shut; it's not going to happen. The wonderful thing about going after beliefs rather than problems is that once beliefs are transformed, changes are usually generative: resources are freed up and solutions are often thought of on their own.
