Where to go now, Spiderman?

He did it again. 10 years after his first attempt, French “Spiderman” Alain Robert climbed the Petronas Tower again, without robe and only using his hands and feet. He reached the 58th floor before police coaxed him out of his pursue.

Imagine the wind. Imagine the height. Imagine how it would be like to be up there and see the world so small below you.

This is fantastic - now imagine what kind of feelings, pictures or sounds went through his head while he climbed up. Probably total confidence, absolute trust in his ability and forward looking to the top of the tower.

Surely not - oh God, what do I do up here, careful that I don't fall, this is dangerous.

What you do in your mind and body when you set out to do something is what we in NLP call a positive internal representation (argh, what words!!!). An Internal Representation is about the things inside your head when you go about to do something. The question, always, is, what are you saying to yourself, and what is happening in your body!!

Be it the presentation that you fear or that you anticipate or that cold call that you postpone or just do it due to the fast beating of your heart or the confidence that you have.

Anything you do!!! Really.

People around him might not notice him, but they will soon. Then Alain sets off and quickly reaches the first floor. What are people on the street going to say? Come down, or hey, man, that is cool!!! What happens to the people inside the office that see him hanging outside? Fear or anticipation or excitement?

Off, off he goes and fast he is. Real fast. And attracts attention.

So, ask yourself, what is going on in your head when you start out doing something? And remember, every time, you do this, and even if you feel uncomfortable the first time around, it stretches your belief system and the neurology!

What we teach in our NLP Certified Practitioner courses intensively, and also in our 2-day introductionary course this weekend is to how to manage your feelings. How to always be in a state that empowers you because it is the fear inside of you that is crippling you.

Just imagine what you can do if you just know ways to overcome this fear and become the magnificent person that you dream of being? You can be it, so very easily, really!!!!!!!, when you just realise your potential!
