Instead, you’d say to him “Come here right now!” which might make a massive difference if a speeding
car is just seconds away.
This is a very basic example of NLP (in fact it is barely classified as NLP, as it just scrapes the surface).
Another example of this technique might be when people say to themselves “Okay, don’t forget to buy
milk on the way home.” They are more likely to forget. Instead, they should say “Remember to buy
milk when I’m passing the shop.” That way, they picture the shop as they say the word, and when they
see that picture in real life, ie, they are likely to remember to buy some milk.
(If they wanted to be even more sure to remember the milk, they should say “When I pass the shop,
I’ll have to be careful because milk will explode out the windows, covering me in cold milk.” This imag-
ery invoke senses and emotions into the mnemonic - but that’s another subject!)
On a level of 1 to 9, this technique is a 1 in terms of complexity and depth. There are hundreds of tiny
tricks we can use in neuro-linguistic programming, as you get higher in the scale you are getting closer
to hypnosis.
