What you’re about to read is one of the most powerful strategies for you to master NLP beyond the rational level.
You see, 90% of new students try to learn NLP rationally.
The little exercise you are about to engage in will get you to learn NLP irrationally.
And what you will do is this.
Within the context of your family, you will express yourself entirely non-verbally during the course of two days.
Yeah, you heard me right.
You will have to express your feelings, your desires and other communications using analog channels: making sounds, using gestures, facial expressions and so on.
The key here is to knock you out of the constant use of digital words, which usually tend to shut down our senses and prevent us from really taking in the rich contextual clues present in every communication.
If you’re pissed, make a lot of growling noises. Express your rage in that way. Only one rule: no words.
How can you express your caring to your kids without words? What sounds would you make?
How will you tell your spouse or significant other that they are the most important part of your life?
Hint: Welcome to the world of pattern interrupts! If you think that weird questions do a great job for interrupting patterns, wait until you experience this.
I routinely leverage this particular exercise in my own family to flex my analog muscles. It’s usually great fun for everyone. Do it too.
