How do you know when you’ve cooked the perfect meal?
Not from a recipe. Not from a rulebook.
You just know.
The taste, the texture, the reaction on someone’s face—it all comes together in a way that feels right. That’s how I learned to cook.
Learning Through Experience, Not Instructions
I was eight years old, home alone, trying to make ladyfingers. No clue what I was doing. No instructions. Just trial, error, and a whole lot of burnt attempts.
Each time, I watched my mother’s reaction.
- Was there too much spice?
- Not enough salt?
- Was it overcooked? Undercooked?
By the eighth attempt, I nailed it.
Not because I followed a formula—but because I studied what worked. I paid attention to the patterns, made adjustments, and improved based on feedback.
And that’s exactly what NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) does..
The Science of Observation and Adaptation
Despite its effectiveness, people often argue that NLP isn’t “scientific” or “empirical.” But let’s think about this for a moment:
- How do you know when your haircut looks good?
- How do you decide to change your outfit before a party?
You observe. You adjust. You repeat what works.
That’s NLP in action.
NLP dissects the patterns behind how we think, decide, and act. It’s like an MRI for decision-making—it reveals the underlying mechanics of our choices.
Turning Intuition into a Formula
- No more overthinking.
- No more second-guessing.
- Just using the right technique, consciously.
When you train your mind with NLP, life becomes easier. You start making better decisions, faster.
A Simple Exercise to Try Right Now
Next time you find yourself second-guessing a decision, pause. Notice the pattern. What thoughts are running through your mind? What past experiences are influencing you?
That awareness alone is NLP in action.
Once you see the pattern, you can change it. And when you do, decision-making becomes effortless.
Final Thoughts
Whether it’s cooking, making decisions, or understanding human behavior, success comes from recognizing what works and refining it. NLP gives you the tools to do just that—consciously and consistently.
