Behavior

Definition

Any activity we engage in, including thinking. In NLP, behavior encompasses both external, observable actions and internal processes such as self-talk, visualization, and emotional responses. NLP distinguishes between behavior and identity — a person is not their behavior. This distinction is fundamental to the NLP presupposition that every behavior has a positive intention, and that change work targets behaviors while preserving the underlying positive intent.
