Show Notes
Neil introduces the concept of Timelining, an NLP technique aimed at generating shifts in perspective and insight. Neil shares his personal experience with using Timelining in his own life and with his students and coaching clients. He guides listeners through the process of physically visualising their goals on a timeline, adjusting the timeline as needed, and creating a well-sequenced plan to achieve those goals. Neil emphasises the importance of engaging physically in the process to enhance the vividness of the visualisation.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
-
The timelining technique is a creative visioning tool that uses space and time concepts to generate shifts of perspective and insight.
-
Timelining can be done mentally or physically, with the physical method being more effective as it involves moving the mind and body together.
-
When using timelining, visualise your goals at the end of the timeline and then assess how the distance feels from the present moment.
-
Adjust the position of goals on the timeline if they feel too far or too close, ensuring they are in a position that feels right.
-
By physically engaging in the timelining process, individuals can gain insights, adjust the sequence of events, and create a well-sequenced plan to achieve their goals.
BEST MOMENTS
"Time learning is a creative visioning tool that uses space and time concepts to generate shifts of perspective and insight."
"I'm constantly doing this everywhere I'm on the timeline. If it feels too long a time, too far away, I'll walk back along the timeline towards today to a point where the goal starts to feel about right."
"I've done this countless times with students and clients and every time I've been struck by how people change their ideas as they're playing."
"Typically, insights present themselves and people say things like, ooh, that feels too far away. I don't think I can get there."
"It's incredibly useful if you're prepared to go and play and do it physically."
