One of the presuppositions of NLP sales is to always operate from a physiology of excellence. This means if you want to be excellent at something, then adopt the posture and attitude of those people that are excellent at doing said action. Seems simple enough. Now there is a lot more to actually modeling someone, say like a boxer or great salesperson, than their posture. But how about if I let you in on a little secret body position that ALL people naturally use when they experience victory. A simple gesture you can use when your frustrated and down on yourself. Or when you have negative internal dialog just ruining your day.
We’ll get into the actual mechanics of the gesture in just a minute. First a little background as to how this was discovered and what it really means. In NLP there is a technique called a pattern interrupt. Of course it sounds complicated but really its quite simple. A pattern interrupt occurs any time you’re doing something routine and that routine is interrupted. Lets say your driving to your office. You’re thinking about what you need to get done that day. Running the same pattern you do every morning. Then out of no where a tree crashes down in front of you. This is where the magic of a pattern interrupt occurs. Your normal routine has been interrupted and you have the choice about how to react to the situation.
How about making the decision that you’re glad to be alive. That tree could have landed right on top of you had you been just a few minutes earlier. Think of how lucky you are to have missed it.
You notice it’s at that time of the pattern interrupt that you can make changes as to where your thoughts are going. At the time of the pattern interrupt, your unconscious mind is looking for instruction from you.
“I need some instructions,” is what your unconscious is saying to you.
You see the unconscious mind is great at running patterns or programs. But it is incapable of making a decision. That is where the conscious mind comes in. Can you grasp the power of this?
As I promised, let me give you that gesture that you can use anytime to get yourself into a positive state. I guarantee you’ve seen the gesture before. In fact, it is innate across all human cultures. I discovered this technique by reading an article in sciencedaily.com. The article discussed that even people who are blind from birth, and have never even see another person, use this gesture when they’ve achieved something great. It’s called the fist pump. And I know you’ve done it before. Either you’ve thrown both fists in the air and shouted. Or you’ve pulled them back into your side. Whatever variation you use, it will instantly make your unconscious mind believe that you just succeeded at something great.
This technique is effective in all manners of different areas. Whether you’re working on some frustrating project or just need to get in a better mood. Throw your fists in the air and say “Yes!” We’re all unconsciously programmed to react to this gesture. You can even do it in front of other people by pretending you’re stretching and say the “Yes!” under your breath. It works for me every time.
At first I thought my co-workers would think I had finally lost it, but then I tried it in front of them and everyone was so excited they wanted to know what happened. Human beings are so attuned to the fist pump that everyone just assumed I had done something great or something incredible just happened to me.
