Zen says:
"Thoughts lead to other thoughts and the whole stream of thoughts turns into what we call an emotion"
John Daido Loori - Cave of Tigers
NLP says that our state, our emotional state, is a result of a series of thoughts, that we have. Each thought may be a self-talk (things that we say to ourselves), or a picture, or a sound, or a feeling or behavior. When we have run through this series of thoughts, we end up in a certain emotional state.
In NLP we call each thought an internal representation, and we call the series of thoughts a strategy.
By tracking and noticing the thoughts or internal representations we have, we can begin to change them in order to reach a different emotional state, or let them go entirely, to reach enlightenment!
