The world is systemic, and therefore so is change. This means that the only way you can change others is by changing yourself.

NLP presupposes that the body and mind are one system, so changes in one area always affect other areas. (Physical ailments caused by stress are a good example of this.) Similarly, we are all parts of the world’s system.

So, for example, if you want to have more energy, you might choose to eat better. Or, if you want people to treat you with more respect, you might choose a more open outlook.
