One Minute NLP – Break Bad Habits with the Swish Pattern

Ever wished you could effortlessly break a bad habit or develop a new, positive one? NLP offers a powerful technique called the Swish Pattern that can help you do just that.

First, identify the trigger that starts the unwanted behavior. Visualize yourself engaging in the bad habit. Then, create a mental image of yourself doing the desired behavior instead. Make this positive image bright and compelling.

Now, replace the negative image with the positive one swiftly in your mind. Repeat this process several times until the positive image feels more natural and dominant.

The Swish Pattern helps your brain associate the old trigger with the new, positive behavior, making it easier to break old habits and adopt new ones. It’s a quick and effective way to create lasting change.

Meta Magic – Are you making your well unwell?

“You are a filthy, obnoxious well! Your water made my children ill. It’s impure and useless. Your existence is undesirable.” Mr. Ramakant’s harsh words deeply wounded the heart of the only Well in the village. The Well, which had served the villagers faithfully for years, providing water for drinking and other needs, was deeply hurt by these accusations. Mr. Ramakant’s comment left the Well feeling disheartened, dejected, and shocked by the unexpected occurrence of his children’s illness.

From that day on, the Well decided to stop providing water to anyone in the village. The following day, it refused to give water to the villagers, leaving the entire community perplexed. News of the Well’s decision spread quickly, and the villagers grew anxious about how they would manage without it.

Determined to find a solution, a young villager named Yusuf ventured beyond the village boundaries and discovered a nearby lake. He returned to the village with the good news, and the villagers rejoiced at having found a new source of water.

The Well observed the villagers passing by, and did not bother to reconsider its decision. Within a week, the Well’s water stagnated, becoming murkier by the day. As it ceased to share its water with the villagers, the Well itself became unwell.

My question to you is: When it comes to sharing your knowledge and resources with the world, are you making your well unwell?

Hook From The Book

Movie Motivation

“Sawal ye nahi ke aap ki ankhon ke samne kya hai, sawal ye hai ke aap dekh kya rahe ho” (translated to “The question is not what is in front of your eyes, the question is what are you seeing.”) This dialogue from the movie Dhrishyam 2 reminds us of our filters of deletion, generalisation and distortion, due to which we selectively see what we want to see, rather than what is there in front of our eyes.
