Scion of NLP

Posts Tagged ‘video’

I was shown this little video that was an awesome demonstration of mental filters and I thought I just needed to share…

The interesting thing is that from an NLP standpoint this goes a long way to explaining things like context frames and the impact of language frames as they apply to people in general. From the perspective of things like depression, anxiety, paranoia, and other similar psychological disorders, the only real difference is that the frame is set, not by an external source but, by an internal source — this is why I always explain depression to my coaching clients as a form of self-bullying.

Here’s the video … check it out:

… now imagine what how this applies to things like Law of Attraction! Anyone who wants to know why it works for a lot of people — it makes a huge shift in your mental filters. Research has shown that people who believe themselves lucky will see when money is left on the sidewalk, where unlucky people will usually step right over it! — it’s all filters people! If you’re depressed, anxious, or just unlucky, you’re gonna be doing a lot of internal thinking about problems in your life … but, when you’re mentally positive, and filtering for the good things in life, it’s much easier to see opportunities and success.

Hmmmm… something to think about — when you start your day are you filtering for the right things or are you setting a negative frame on your life?

As most people know, a personal blog originated as a public journal kept on the internet … web + log = blog …

Now, with the availability of You Tube and such, people have begun doing vlogs, which are blogs in video format … video + blog = vlog …

Some people feel this turn of events is one more cheezy form of internet tackiness, however, as a person who is camera shy it’s been constantly brought to my attention that I need more ‘face time’ with my fans — the reason being, with the launch of my new book and high hopes of selling 100,000 copies I’m going to be needing to do promotion … which is going to involve radio and tv. This means I need to get over my fear of film … (*gulp*) … so, I have one of my first vlogs from my Verbal Self Defense website (www.VerbalDefenseTactics.com):

Curiously, one side note I’d like to mention is regarding something Dean Hunt said on his blog late last year …

‘The money is where the fear is.’

… and I really liked that quote. What Dean meant was that the people who get paid the most are the ones who do the things most people are afraid to do … like (in my case) public speaking. Teaching NLP certification courses is more than sharing information … it’s the confidence of putting one’s own ability on the line and stepping up … so here I go (again)!

  Oh yeah! That’s me beh-beh! (*little dance of joy*)

I made a little Christmas video because this time of year for everyone can be stressful for everyone … tempers run high and patience can run short — a perfect storm for verbal abuse in an endless number of family and shopping situations.

Here’s a poem parody of “A Visit from St. Nicholas” which was written by Mary C. Ginn … I think she really helps put things in perspective…

  … oh, and BTW, you can blame Jodie for the “blooper” reel at the end…

Hey y’all … I just came across a blog post from Viv Craske (the King of Confidence) about Richard Bandler’s Xmas Message — something everyone should see if they’ve had a less than excellent year.

For those of you who don’t know who Richard Bandler is … well … he’s not that easy to describe, but I can tell you he’s one of the founders of NLP and he’s a really, really, really amazing and smart guy! — so I highly recommend that you should take a listen to his best wishes video about 2010!

If you had a crappy 2009 and want to go into 2010 with a better attitude …

… and watch the video.

(Trust me — it’s worth your time)

Okay … I was recently sent the link to a post on the Mental Floss Blog called The rebirth of the book? and it showed a little You Tube video about new develops that are being worked on about finding way to incorporate iphone in books! I love the idea! I’ve posted a copy of the video below — and as I watched it, all I could picture was my new verbal self defense book where the book would be a stand-alone version giving the reader the information, but with the iphone in place they could see video demonstrations or a interactive flash game where they could test their skills as they’re learning them!

Boo-ya baby!

BTW, for anyone who is more interested in searching Google for more of this stuff, it’s called Transmedia Storytelling … which is defined by Wikipedia as storytelling across multiple forms of media with each element making distinctive contributions to a viewer/user/player’s understanding of the story. Awwwwwwwwwwwesome!

The following 2 videos are 2 different ways of looking at the same potential future predicted by Microsoft.

The first video was created by Microsoft to show what technology in the year 2019 will look like and I thought it was awesome! !The techno-geek in me totally wants it now!) Originally the clip was shown at Wharton Business Technology Conference and it’s called 2019. It looks pretty crazy with the special effects and what things might be like.

Interestingly however, the second video is a parody done from the original with a few added comments which put things in a bit of a different perspective. I thought it was hilarious and in my opinion seemed to give it a more human element…
