Modeling

[signeos]

The most useful nlp technique you can ever use, i just recently came to this realization that i have been using this for years in all areas of my life. This is just absolutely amazing, when you realize you have been doing this and it seriously has changed your entire life. Any admirable trait or characteristic or ability that someone has i tend to model, and eventually incorporate that into my life.

That's great! :) Depending on how long you've been doing this incorporating, you must be a fine specimen of a human by now! :) Positive role models are a wonderful thing, and I believe we all do what you do. The key is in the definition of "admirable." Some people might think that a bank robber or killer is an admirable role model. I'm grateful to have several in my life at the moment. (admirable role models, not robber/killer models) I look at them, I admire them and what they do, how they do. I LOVE them. And I attempt to figure out how *I* can be like them and accomplish similar goals. One such has taken me on to create a "mini me" of himself. I'm his future mini-me. That's what HE thinks. I'll decide what traits and skills I want of his, and I'm sure it's not going to be all--but there are many, many that it gives me joy to contemplate incorporating into my life.

I agree, definately an important tool. I try to use it all the time. I remember once falling in love with someone very quickly, only to realize that it was just a few key points that I actually loved about that person and in the end he was actually quite unappealing. Modeling those parts of him into myself allowed me to essentially be free of emotional attachments to him, because they were now a part of me.
