NLP can make you feel better about painful memories and it can also make you feel better about your current problems.

But in most cases I don't want to feel better about my current problems. I want to solve them and move on.

If anything I want to feel worse about my problems so I get to my threshold faster and do something about it.

If I have a problem that's out of my control or influence, I re-categorize it. It's not a problem.

If you can't do something about it, it's not a problem.

If you can do something about it, shut up and do something about it.

For example, I lost a loved one a few years ago. There's nothing I can do about that. It still hurts. I still miss him, but it's not a problem.

Also, a few years ago my weight kept bouncing around within a range of about 15 pounds, which was screwing with my cholesterol levels. It was a problem. 

One day I looked in the mirror and noticed how my face and stomach was becoming more doughy and round. Not only did I use NLP to rewire my mindsets, I made a plan of three simple things I would do to change this and I future-paced the hell out of myself until these habits were real and "in the muscle."

Most importantly I took action to execute the plan.

I've seen people who apply a NLP process on themselves for losing weight or quitting smoking and as soon as they're done they order a cheeseburger or light up a cigarette.

What they've likely done is just used NLP to make themselves feel better about a problem instead of solving it.

Don't do that.

Do take action to improve your life no matter how bad or wonderful it is. It can always be better. Sign up for Transforming Your Self to learn powerful tools to improve yourself and your life!
