Be Empowered Using NLP Presuppositions to Rewrite Beliefs That Have Been Holding You Back
Lets imagine for a moment that you are choosing to rewrite or recode your basic presumptions about the world and the way you want to experience it in the future. The creators of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), Richard Bandler and John Grinder, borrowed the concept that the map is not the territory from the developer of general semantics, Alfred Korzybski.
This expression, and others like it such as the menu is not the meal, infer that in order to process our experiences we create representative constructs of them. The image of a sandwich on a menu in most cases will taste of plastic, ink, and paper as opposed to actually eating the real sandwich. Interestingly, intently focusing upon either one can cause you to salivate if the sandwich is appealing to you.
Our minds are unable to perceive the difference between representative constructs and real experiences. The best example that comes to my mind is the subtle difference between anxiety and fear - anxiety is hypothetical and future-based; fear occurs in the 
moment. Vividly imagining a horrible or pleasant experience is quite similar to experiencing it in reality. If you don't believe me, go watch a suspenseful, horror movie, and when you find your heart pounding you'll get what I'm talking about...
Here are several empowering NLP presuppositions as defined in The User's Manual For The Brain by Hall and Bodenhamer that you can try on for size and reflect upon past and future experiences. These NLP presuppositions are powerful for understanding how to rewrite beliefs and be empowered.

representations of possibility and potential.
