"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I've been using this NLP technique(Reframing)for quite a while and it doesn't seem to have the effects many people say that it has.

Do you guys have a different story ?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Well it depends on HOW you are using it, and in what situations. If you can get more descriptive and post exactly what happened in one or more situations I'll tell you what I think.

It seems to work only when I am using it. ie during a week, as long as I don't stop listening to my own voice on the tapes it works within that period of time(ie 3 times a day during a week, its effects are for that week, if I stop listening it stop the effects). So is this reframing technique permanent? if yes for how long am i supposed to use it?

If you consider the fact that your prior POV (or frame) had developed after YEARS of practice, it is easy to see that casting it aside and taking a new POV will most likely take considerable time and effort.

(Rapid, instantaneous change IS possible, but unusual).

I suspect you are at the point where you have to CONSCIOUSLY reframe a situation. All that means is you need a bit more practice with your new frame. With enough practice (and positive reinforcement), you won't have much trouble with your new POV.

What is reframing?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

By REFRAMING you could mean two things. One of them is the six-step reframing technique which is explained in "Frogs into Princes" the earliest book in NLP.

The second one is about reframing a situation so that it has a different meaning to you. This can be divided into two pieces. Content Reframing and Context Reframing.

Content Reframing
This is about giving a different meaning to the content of the conversation. For example if a father worries that his son is too violent, and you say to him "Good thing, now you don't have to worry about anybody messing with your daughter" you are shifting the "frame" from not useful, to useful.

Context Reframing
This is about changing the context of the behavior and assumes that this behavior must be useful in some other context. For example saying dirty words to your g/f while having sex may arouse her, but saing it while having coffee will get her mad. So by changing the context of the behavior you shift people's view on a particular behavior. They thought it was bad, but now in the new context they can see how it is useful and now they beging to like it.
