Neuro-Linguistic Programming is a name given to three most powerful elements that are essential in producing human experience. The three components are; neurology, language, and programming. It is, therefore, an approach to communication, self-growth, and psychiatric therapy that creates a connection amongst neural courses (neuro-), dialectal process (linguistic) and interactive patterns we learn through practice (programming). The founders of NLP; Bandler and Grinder argue that you can bring the three elements together via therapy to achieve specific goals in life. They say that as one can acquire exceptional skills people that can treat complications such as phobias, depression, tic disorders, mental illnesses, short-sightedness, allergies, common cold, and learning syndromes.

Set your goals/objective
You should know what your drive is and what you want to achieve in the end. NLP pressures on the significance of working towards those things you want, without aiming for results life becomes a dull encounter. Once you have a predetermined outcome, you can focus on how to achieve it. NLP provides a set of well-formedness strategies that results should satisfy.
First, State them positively. You can ‘not do’ something rather you’ve got to do’ something. You should also set realistic goals that are achievable. Secondly set testable and demonstrable sensual understanding. You should have an existing procedure that you can measure your progress towards achieving the outcome. Thirdly, set a sensory-specific goal in the sense that you should be able to say what you would look like, sound like or feel like when you achieve the result, and finally set an ecologically sound goal that will benefit you and not harm others in the process
Sensory awareness
Once you know your outcome, you must step to have enough sensual insight to determine whether or not you are moving towards the result. It also involves the ability to deduce changes that come along
Change your behavior
The third guiding principle is to fluctuate your behavior until you get the answer you want.
You’ll need to do something else if what you are doing isn’t working. Your sensory awareness should help you determine if you actions are leading you to the desired direction.
Implement the outcome
The fourth and final working norm of NLP is to act now. It is action now to change your performance and those of others, now and in the future. The fundamental principle is never to procrastinate.

The disadvantage of using NLP is that it is not “scientifically” proven. When NLP in the early 1980s came about, it attracted scientific research and tests. However, skillful trials had failed to demonstrate any benefit of NLP especially when its activists made more and more uncertain when claims and scientific interest in NLP worn away, though they argue that the lack of experimental support is due to unsatisfactory research testing. That said, many influential people in a broad spectrum of areas of excellence have all used or been exposed to NLP.

Aligning these positions gives greater clarity and lends to feedback that one might otherwise overlook.
