NLP offers the potential for making changes without the usual agony that accompanies
these phenomena... It affords the opportunity to gain flexibility, creativity and greater
freedom of action than most of us now know ~ The Training and Development Journal

There Are 8 Reasons Why It's Been Hard For You To Change In The Past:

1. You have not clearly defined what you don't want. An important step is to clearly know what you don't want or what is not acceptable in your life and then to remove your focus from it.
   

2. You have not clearly defined what you do want in your life. Clearly define what you do want . . . so you become aware of it when it appears. I know that 'sounds' simple, but if you are in any way uncertain or unclear, you could walk right by and not recognize it. Clarity brings your focus onto what you want and the clearer and more congruent you are . . . the quicker you achieve. Develop a clear picture or image of your completed goal or desires.

3. You haven't made the changes at your unconscious minds level. Your issues, beliefs, or sabotages are to deeply ingrained in your unconscious mind for you to change on your own. You do not know how or what to change, are not objective enough and do not have the 'skills' to make the changes make on their own

4. There is an internal conflict going on inside of you. Part of you wants to change or part of you wants one thing . . . and part of you want's something different or doesn't want to change. You might actually feel an inner struggle between two opposing sides of you. Or something always 'sabotages your best efforts'.
   

5. You need to learn new skills, develop positive beliefs, learn more flexible choices and integrate new behaviors to get what you want. There may be a limiting belief that stops you and it needs to be changed for you to achieve your desired results.
   

6. There are similarities in the way sabotage & all compulsions work in a persons mind. People who are compulsive think about 'doing their compulsion' and they either experience a good feeling when they think of doing it or they experience the feeling of 'escaping from bad feelings' that they have when they are 'not doing it'; or both

7. You have not made the changes at your unconscious minds level, so your results don't last. You have not make lasting change or the work on your unconscious mind's level is incomplete.
   

8. You don't give yourself a chance or time to learn & change. It may be a process of change that takes time or you need time to learn new skills & integrate new supportive behaviors
