NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming)

Yesterday I introduced the 5 questions necessary to direct your mind through the effective usage of body language in any communication effort. I think it is important to repeat the fact that you should be looking to use these questions to TRAIN YOUR MIND through repetition. The length of time necessary for a skill to become automatic is person-dependent so to say how long it will take you to learn this is futile.

For you to even begin your thought sequence, your mind wants to recall the name “Hitchcock” on the cover of the DVD box from Blockbuster. In order to do this, your eyes move up and to the right… What your eyes new position indicates is the initial activation, maintenance and transmission of the image of the DVD cover.
