NLP and the Power of Future Pacing

Ever walked out of a seminar feeling inspired, only to fall back into old habits a week later? That’s where future pacing steps in. It’s an NLP technique that helps you mentally rehearse success before it happens.

Here’s how it works: once you’ve learned something new—maybe a mindset shift or a behaviour change—you imagine using it in a future situation. Vividly. Sensory-rich. Like a movie in your mind where you see, hear, and feel yourself handling the situation brilliantly.

Why does this matter? Because the brain doesn’t always distinguish between what’s imagined and what’s real. So future pacing creates familiarity—and familiarity breeds confidence.

Next time you learn a new tool, don’t just store it. Play it forward. That’s how you turn insight into action. And action into transformation.

One Curious Case of Two Words

The press conference had just ended, but one curious young reporter wasn’t done yet. With notebook in hand and ambition in his eyes, he approached the elderly tycoon who had just spoken about his journey through decades of business storms and triumphs.

“Sir,” the reporter asked, “may I know the secret of your success?”

The businessman smiled, as if he’d heard this question a thousand times. “Two words,” he said.

The reporter leaned in. “What are those two words?”

“Right decisions.”

“Of course,” the reporter nodded. “But how do you make the right decisions?”

The man’s eyes twinkled. “One word.”

“Which is?”

“Experience.”

A pause. The reporter scribbled quickly, then looked up again. “And how do you get experience?”

The tycoon chuckled, the sound worn and wise. “Two words.”

The young man’s pen hovered. “Which are…?”

“Wrong decisions.”

MY Question – What are your two words of success?
