NLP Life Planning

How to get better at creating more of the results you want. There are three stages to producing more of whatever you want from life:

• Clarify what your most important goals are and take small daily action steps towards them
• Keep on doing this in the face of all setbacks
• Adjust course as needed

This may sound simple, but will not always be easy. The key is to notice every time you get stuck. Then make full use of the support systems to keep yourself on track. Your support systems include close friends, NLP practice groups, tutorial sessions at the seminars and private one to one coaching sessions.

Getting started with planning your new life

Do this on your own, or with someone else, whichever works best for you. If you are experienced at life planning, tailor this to suit. If not, follow the recipe:

1 Values
Before you can identify what your most important goals are, you need to clarify what is important in your life. Your goals are a reflection of your values. Start thinking about your values and what is important in your life. The words you are looking for will be vague, like success, happiness, connectedness, or making a difference. Write them down. When you have your top ten written down in rank order, you are ready to start planning.

2    Life areas
Clarify the seven or so main areas of your life. It is best if you make up your own key areas, but here are some to start you off:    Health – Career – Relationships – Finances – Family - Personal Development - Time Management

3    Time frames
Choose three different time frames, short, medium, and long-term. The trick here is to try and guess which ones will work best for you:
Short term, typically: a week, a month, or three months Medium term, typically: three months, six months, or a year Long term, typically: three years, ten years, or the rest of your life

4    Create a matrix drawing
On a clean sheet of paper, write your seven life areas spread down the left hand column. Put the three time frames across the top and draw a matrix of squares, one for each life area and time frame.

5    Fill in the key outcomes and issues
Taking each square in turn, write down at least one key outcome and one key issue in each square. See ‘Identifying Key Issues and Outcomes’ (next page) for how to do this.
