Introduction:

Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is an approach to psychotherapy and organizational change

based on the model of interpersonal communication chiefly concerned with the relationship

between successful patterns of behavior and the subjective experiences of alternative therapy

based on this which seeks to educate people to change their patterns of mental and emotional

behavior. The Stress plays a vital role in the human behavior that leads to various disorders and

affect the human health. The cause of Stress is been through both external and internal

environment that change the human function form normal to abnormal. NLP which helps in most

of the modern corporate to keep their mental health nourished. The human assert is the vital role

which leads to the improvement in the Industry.

NLP and Chronic stress

The co-founders, Richard Bandler and linguist John Grinder, believed that NLP would be useful

in "finding ways to help people have better, fuller and richer lives They coined the term "Neuro-

Linguistic Programming" to emphasize their belief in a connection between the neurological

processes.

NeuroHow we use our nervous system to experience the world around us. All the information

that enters into our brain using our five senses of sight, sound, touch, smell and taste.

LinguisticHow we use language and other non-verbal communication systems to interpret this

informationpictures (is it focused and clear or hazy), sounds (is it a loud or quiet noise), touch

(does it feel rough or smooth), smell (does it smell fresh as a daisy or is it an odour of decay),

taste (does it taste too salty or too sweet).

Programming Once we have interpreted all this information, we run programmes (often

unconsciously) to get things done. We are not aware that we are running them; they are just part

of our routine. For example, brushing our teeth twice a day, or washing our face, or our daily

drive in to work. Using all the information in our mind we can find out what is in that

programme. If theres something that needs changing we can do so. For example if you can write

presentations easily but get anxious about standing up and actually presenting, or you find it easy

to talk to your boss informally but get nervous when you ask for a promotion or pay rise, or you

play sports excellently for fun but always lose in competitions.

Stress is the response to emotional pressure suffered for a prolonged period over which an

individual perceives he or she has no control In humans, symptoms of chronic stress can vary

from anxiety, depression, social isolation, headache, abdominal pain or lack of sleep to back pain

and difficulty concentrating. Other symptoms include:

headache anxiety depression aggression intense mood swings rash loss ofconcentration/ poor concentration hypertension

Stress among Indian Population:

Total Indian Population 1,210,193,422 (1.21 billion)

Total Male Population in India 623,700,000 (623.7 million)

Total Female Population in India 586,500,000 (586.5 million)

0 to 25 years 50% of India's current population

57 % of corporate workers in India report increase in stress

Fifty-seven per cent of workers in the corporate sector in India reported an increase in stress over

the last two years, a survey has said. Of over 11,000 corporate across 13 countries, 58 per cent

companies worldwide experienced an appreciable rise in their workplace stress over the last two

years, according to a survey by workplace solutions provider Regus plc.

The survey asked more than 11,000 respondents about their experience in the workplace during

tough economic times.

It was found that Indian workers experienced a slightly lower rise in stress than theirinternational counterparts, with 57 per cent reporting that their levels of stress have grown

"higher" or "much higher" over the past two years.

The most significant stress hike in the countries surveyed occurred in China, with 86 per cent

reporting an increase in stress. The lowest increase in stress was felt in the Netherlands, with 47

per cent reporting a rise.

A Regus statement said a study by the Indian Council for Research on International Economic

Relations found that India's rapid economic expansion has boosted corporate profits and

employee incomes, but has also sparked a surge in workplace stress and lifestyle diseases that

few Indian companies have addressed.

The survey said 45 per cent of Indian workers are particularly stressed by the increased focus on

profitability that has arisen during the recession. In fact, this particular pressure is stressing out

Indian employees more than workers in any of the other countries surveyed.

Another factor responsible for increasing workplace stress is the pressure to maintain excellent

customer service: 33 per cent identified this as a major stress-causing factor. Company size has

also had an influence on the level of stress increase experienced in recent years.

It was found that workers in mid-sized Indian companies (50-249 employees) have experienced a

greater rise in workplace stress: 61 per cent of employees in mid-sized firms have reported

higher levels of stress against 55 per cent of people in smaller businesses. This may be due to the

potential for downsizing.

2) NLP Swish Pattern

1) Now, when you are happy with this representation, take the original un resourceful imageand place a small dot in the center of it.

2) This small dot is a very small copy of the second resourceful or happy image.


8/8

3) Now, very quickly, and with a nice whooshing noise, expand the dot until it fills thewhole original image.

4) The positive image is now the only image you can see.5) Return to the first image, and keep performing this shift until you can perform it

effortlessly.

6) Once you have performed the shift 5 or 6 times, taking a moments break between eachattempt, take another break, then think of performing the task that you struggled to be

resourceful for.

7) What image pops into your mind? The Image which makes you positive right.Conclusion:
