One Minute NLP – When Their Actions Don’t Match Their Words

Simultaneous incongruence (a jargon from the field of NLP) from occurs when there is a misalignment between what someone says and how they express it. Imagine a colleague saying, “I’m fine,” while frowning and avoiding eye contact. Their verbal and non-verbal cues don’t match, creating a sense of incongruence.

In NLP, recognizing this is key to understanding deeper truths. People’s body language, tone of voice, and gestures often reveal their genuine feelings more than words.

For example, if a team member agrees to take on a task but hesitates or sighs, their incongruence might indicate doubt or overwhelm. As a skilled communicator, you can address this by saying, “I noticed you hesitated – would you like to talk about it?”

In your own life, self-awareness is crucial. Are your words matching your feelings and intentions? If not, pause and reflect. Aligning your internal state with your external actions builds trust, clarity, and authenticity in all interactions.

The magic of NLP lies in turning these subtle observations into opportunities for deeper connection and understanding.

Meta Magic – Are You Cutting The Strings?

Young Ethan squinted against the bright sunlight, his small hands clutching the wooden spool. It was his first time flying a kite, and his father, Mark, knelt beside him, guiding his hands. The crisp wind tugged at the vibrant red-and-yellow kite as they launched it. With each failed attempt, Ethan’s giggles mixed with determination until, finally, the kite soared upward.

“Run, Ethan! Let more string out!” Mark encouraged.

Ethan ran across the grassy field, the string slipping through his fingers. The kite danced higher, a vivid splash of color against the azure sky. His heart swelled with joy as the spool emptied.

“Daddy,” he said, breathless with excitement, “let’s cut the string! The kite will go even higher!”

Mark paused. “Son, the string helps the kite stay steady. If we cut it, the kite won’t fly higher—it’ll fall.”

Ethan frowned. “No, Daddy. The string is holding it down! Let’s free it!”

Reluctantly, Mark handed him a pocketknife. With a quick snip, the tension vanished. For a fleeting moment, the kite seemed to rise, untethered and wild. But then it faltered, swaying chaotically before tumbling down, a broken tangle of fabric and sticks.

Ethan stared at the fallen kite, his excitement replaced with confusion. “Why did it fall?”

Mark placed a gentle hand on his son’s shoulder. “The string wasn’t holding it down, Ethan. It was guiding it, giving it the strength to fly high.”

Now, let me ask you: In your life, which are those rules and relations, which may be feeling restrictive to you? But when you think deeper, they are actually guiding you, anchoring you, and probably even helping you to rise to your fullest potential.
