Neuro Linguistic Programming Episode Part 3 : Understanding Metaprograms - List of Metaprograms

Welcome everyone to Corporate Learning Excerpts. My name is Jardine.

Today’s topic is Part 3 of Understanding Metaprograms, a topic of Neuro Linguistic Programming, we will talk about some sets of metaprograms today.

So let’s begin.

There are a lot of meta-programs that have been identified. The exact figure changes all the time as some meta-programs are merged with other similar meta-programs and new meta-programs are added to the list. I’ll be going over some today. When I am going over the list, think of yourself and identify which metaprogram you most associate with, most of the time. You might be asking, can my metaprograms change? Yes, they can change over time and adapt as you come across new information and expand understanding of your life and circumstances.

So when you are doing this, ask yourself these questions related to your life : Given what you want in your life, is this helpful or hurtful? Do you need to make any changes? Keep these questions in mind as you work through each type of metaprogram

Lets start with our first set : Options vs Procedures, it gives an insight on how you want to do something.

Metaprogram Set #2 : Specific vs General Information

Metaprogram Set #3 : Proactive or Reactive

Metaprogram #4 : External Frame of Reference vs Internal Frame of Reference

Metaprogram #5 : Goal vs Consequences

Metaprogram #6 : Match vs Mismatch

Metaprogram #7 : Similarities vs Differences

Metaprogram #8 : Positive vs Negative

Metaprogram #9 : Solutions vs Problem

Metaprogram #10 : Intuition vs Sensing

Metaprogram #11 : Self vs Others

Metaprogram #12 Independent, Proximity, Cooperative

Now that you know atleast some of common Metaprograms which shows you more ways of seeing things, the key here is flexibility. And the idea is for you to check the usefulness of your own metaprograms to help you achieve your most valuable outcomes. Learning to change your own metaprograms is through repetition by simply practicing a different way than yours. Aside from that you’ve got the rest of the world to communicate with, and sometimes when you don’t see eye to eye, perhaps it’s simply because they are seeing what you are seeing through a different set of metaprograms.

So that’s it for your list of metaprograms.
