Since you were a little kid you have been charmed by stories. At the start you were told bedtime stories. Then at school your teachers told you stories. You listened to stories in the playground. And as life has gone on you have remained hooked on stories in papers, journals books, films and on Television.

There are many sorts of stories to which you’re also drawn, like jokes and scandal. All of these stories inform us and help us to form our views about ourselves and our lives.

Because stories are such a vital part of forming who we are they constitute one of the strongest NLP techniques. This is due to the fact that we believe stories that are well told.

In reality you give credence to virtually all the stories that you are told about yourself, both the good stories and the bad stories. If someone else suggests something unpleasant about you it causes you to feel bad. If someone else tells you how well you’ve done and congratulates you, it makes you feel good.

And that’s the secret of why stories can be such an influential way to motivate yourself to attain what you need. By telling yourself stories about how good you are , with appropriate conviction you can make yourself feel great. By telling yourself you can achieve anything you would like you can set the game up for you to realize any practical goal that your heart wishes.

The sad point is that we are living in a world in which negative stories have more traction in the media and so in society than positive stories. So much of what comes to you from the world around you is negative. The media, your buddies, your associates and team mates have a tendency to broadcast bad news with great glee.

It’s therefore up to you to make up your mind how you would like to be, what you aim to achieve and to begin telling yourself good positive, self-motivating stories about yourself. Become a broadcaster of good, positive stories.
