What is NLP?
NLP is the practice of understanding how people organize their thinking, feeling, language and behavior to produce the results they do. NLP provides people with a methodology to model outstanding performances achieved by geniuses and leaders in their field.
A key element of NLP is that we form our unique internal mental maps of the world as a product of the way we filter and perceive information absorbed through our five senses from the world around us.
Neuro:
Each individual has established their own unique mental filtering system for processing the millions of bits of data being absorbed through the senses. Our first mental map of the world is constituted of internal images, sounds, tactile awareness, internal sensations, tastes and smells that form as result of the neurological filtering process. The first mental map is called ‘First Access’ in NLP.
Linguistic: We then assign personal meaning to the information being received from the world outside. We form our second mental map by assigning language to the internal images, sounds and feelings, tastes and smells, thus forming everyday conscious awareness. The second mental map is called the Linguistic Map (sometimes known as Linguistic Representation).

So what does all this mean with regard to creating what you want?
We all operate on internal beliefs about who we are and what we are capable of. We all have a certain internal representation of who we are and what we are capable of. Most of the beliefs we carry are on the subconscious level, and we are not even aware that we have them. These beliefs affect our internal dialog and how we think. Our thoughts being energy that goes out into the world and attracts back to itself, affect what we attract, and thus, what we create for ourselves. It is only when we change our limiting beliefs at the core levels that we are able to change our outcomes for ourselves.
