If you do not know the way to say, Say it with A Metaphor (II)

By Elkin Arriero


The Art of Building a Metaphor

Thru a fascinating lesson to lean, so smart help "distract" the conscious part of the brain, causing a comatose some of it, that it is "tracking" and "activating" remedies, responses and meanings that help often so surprising that somebody reveals something critical, that you "click" the mind and be in a position to realize and explain any issues.

The unconscious can distinguish associations, is way more abstract than our conscious, knows to relate things: one thing "leads" or drive to another because they have "common features".

Good metaphors are like "keys" to access the unconscious of a person. So are vital when do NLP exercises.

Here are some examples ...

Occasionally we are saying "metaphors" and limiting simple as "I feel lost" or "so heavy that day," we sometimes fill our day and metaphors. A key step is usually to listen and change these similes for inspiring others, to help us see our situation differently.

One of my favourite metaphors in the film "Forrest Gump" and see whether you remember ...

"Life is a box of chocolates, when you open one you don't know what you are getting."

Metaphors to Speak with Others

Metaphors help us connect with our subconscious, "to name what we don't know how" but also help us to connect, to speak better with others.

Everybody has a majority representative system, ie, a meaning that is processed by which much information ... Can be visual, auditory or kinesthetic. When we identify the representative system of our partner can utilize analogies to "approach" is more to him, to "improve our communication" and ensure that our message is really heard.

I give an example:

If your boss is visible can say something similar to "The results of sales plummet, we want to do something" (a visual metaphor will help you understand your message better)

O. ..

If your partner is hearing you assert something like "Let's talk by one, otherwise we sound like chickens hollering at once in a chicken coop." (trabajos por internet)

And therefore you get the idea?

Now ... The simplest way to start?

Read frequently what I call it like the "Sources of Metaphors" specifically, jokes, myths, children's stories, many stories of the Bible or other non secular books, poetry, etc ... This can give you the experience and coaching to begin building your own metaphors.

And if you already have or come by utilizing metaphors to communicate better, share in this space, we'd love to hear from you! EduynLabino
