If our emotions assign value and we aren’t feeling, we are not generating value propositions upon which we have choice. We must first, then, be aware we are feeling anything at all – this opens us up to choose based on the message being sent by the emotion. Emotions are messengers. I learned this from from Mike Davis. He is known as the Emotional Success Coach and I found him in my search to align my Christian faith with the practice of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP. NLP helps us learn the language of our minds and it was a taught to me in my coach certification training. I wasn’t sure whether to embrace NLP or run very far away as a Jesus follower. It can be used in what appear to be some pretty non-Christian ways. But it reveals our design. And God put that design in us. When I began looking for evidence of it’s use in the scriptures, it was there to be found. Of course, the name NLP is just another way to describe many ways we have modeled observable truth of our design for our uses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Therapy(EMDR) are two others that take the observable truth about or design and put it to work to serve our growth. Therefore, I have come to conclude we are to use it. In fact, I have become compelled to share it, in light of our faith toward our joyful obedience to God.This is another part to why I study and research and share about this today.
