Introduction
The unwanted behaviour can be changed or reprogrammed via using the language inside the
mind to get the wanted behaviour.
“Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a model of interpersonal communication
concerned with relationships and experiences” (Gravells, 2007, p.274); that is to say that NLP
is considered as a solution to better someone’s life in all domains. More precisely, it is a set of
mental techniques that are used to change thoughts, attitudes, and behaviours to the preferable
ones as Gravells (2007) explains it as “NLP is a way to increase self-awareness and to change
patterns of mental and emotional behaviour” (p.274).
In addition, NLP is to change negative emotions and actions to much preferable and
desirable ones in which it takes variety of techniques for the same purpose (Kandola,
December, 2017). “NLP is about the way we communicate and how we behave” (Vizard,
2012, p.87); this means that it is a useful mental activity in which humans can manage their
thoughts and beliefs to reflect their actions and reactions the way they desire them to be. NLP
is a possibility to improve people’s communication (Budimen, & Frankovsky & Birknerovà &
Benkovà, 2018)
Ilieva and Vazov also explain the work of NLP as the following:
NLP is a model that explores the links between the way the physiology and the brain
work (neuro), how we use the words (linguistic), and the accepted patterns of behaviour
(programming). In other words, NLP is a set of models that make up the approach to
success that can be applied in every sphere of reality and most important- in
business.”(p.30)
Mindfulness is an NLP technique used to focus our mind on special point in the present
time so that our mind would promote relaxation and reduce the feeling of anxiety.
The results showed that there was an effect of NLP on anxiety. NLP can improve
knowledge, skills and attitudes, communication skills, self management, mental health;
reduce work stress, and self-efficacy. The biggest role of NLP is to help humans
communicate better with themselves, reduce unexplained fear, control negative
emotions, and anxiety. (p.505)
NLP techniques give the power to people in order to change themselves and improve their
life skills; thus, their anxiety would be gradually decreased.
