When you purchase a car, a washing machine, a TV, there is typically a manual or handbook included. When YOU came into existence with your astonishing brain and your mind which is capable of unbelievable feats, were you given a manual? No. Were you taught how to use your mind so you can live the life you want? No!
Our aim here at MindManual is to assist you in gaining greater understanding of the most powerful resource you have – your own mind – so you have more choices and flexibility in running your life smoothly, as you want it, and with you in charge. As we develop the website, you will have at your fingertips a manual to which you can refer any time you're stumped on how to make a decision, how to handle that criticism, how to negotiate for what you want, how to deal with that frustration…you know, those coming-at-you-all-the-time bumps on the road of life….and it will be in everyday language.
Simply put, we're creating a manual on how to take charge of your mind, which runs your brain, which runs your feelings, which runs your behaviour, which designs how your life will be. Do you want to direct your life, taking charge - or leave it to chance?
The material will be based primarily on modern psychology technology called Neuro-Linguistic Programming - NLP for short. (Is it any wonder we call it something for short?)
You may want tips on stress-proofing or effective communication; you may wish to make a more thorough study - there will be opportunities for in-depth exploration of how minds and brains work, should you choose to take that journey. The choice is yours.

WHAT IS NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING? (NLP)
Our perception of any experience is coloured and shaped by filters such as memories, values, beliefs and decisions as well as our self-talk and the movies we run in our heads. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is the study of how these perceptions affect our feelings and behavior. By understanding these processes and learning to change them, we gain many more choices in how we experience life and relate with others.
Joseph O'Connor and Ian McDermott in their book "Principles of NLP" describe these processes like this:
"Neuro refers to the mind and how we organize our mental life. Linguistic is about language, how we use it and how it affects us. Programming is about our sequences of repetitive behaviour and how we act with purpose. So NLP is about connection, for our thoughts, speech and actions are what connect us to others (and) the world..."
NLP is invaluable in any area of life in which positive change and effective communication is desired, such as Counselling, working within the Caring Professions, Sport, Education, Staff Management & Business, and of course for Personal and Relationship Development.
