NLP - Secrets and Surprises

I've just found out about the new Secret Cinema in Brighton.

As soon as I found out about this I was reminded of the value of anticipation in a successful therapy session.

Have you ever noticed what happens when you find out that a surprise is awaiting you, a surprise birthday present, a secret guest at a party, a special treat, a holiday to a secret destination..... What if you remembered such a time now? What do you remember about the kinds of feelings you had when you enjoyed a sense of anticipation? What do you remember of the very first time you were anticipating such a surprise? Was it the anticipation or the excitement that gave you the most pleasure and made you feel so good?

I wonder if you have ever been on a really good training session where, right from the start, you knew something great was going to happen to your learning, even though you didn't yet know what it was going to be.

Or maybe you recall reading a book where the suspense just grew and grew. Perhaps you couldn't even put the book down, because your attention was so fixed in such an enjoyable way.

Then there are those films or TV programmes where the episode was so enthralling you couldn't wait for the next one. I must admit I've even trawled the internet looking for the early release of a sequel because of the sense of anticipation and curiosity I've been having.

And how much more highly tuned are your senses when you are experiencing that anticipation? So that you are able to enjoy every moment and learn even more than usual because of a natural feeling of being in the present, taking in every bit of information so your unconscious can use it in its own unique and resourceful way.

Even though I could suggest today what I think are the greatest benefits of regularly allowing yourself to enjoy moments of anticipation, curiosity and pleasant surprises, I know how much more learning you experience when you allow yourself to discover it for yourself like all the best kinds of learning.

Surprise yourself.
