Conversational Hypnosis With The Milton Model – Cause and Effect
Reading This Article Will Cause Wonderful Things To Happen
There have been many psychologists and philosophers over the years that have claimed that the brain is nothing more than a cause/effect creator, creating imagined relationships between events in the outside world.
While this may not be entirely accurate, it is true to a certain extent. Seeing one thing, and seeing something else happen in the same order a couple of times, and then developing a cause/effect belief about the pair of event is a huge time saver when it comes to cerebral processing power.
For example, if you were a caveman, and smelled a distinctive odor just before seeing a tiger, you’d certainly remember those two events as linked, so that in the future you’d be able to run quickly away at the same smell, instead of waiting to see if it meant tiger.
This powerful brain process can be used effectively in persuasion. In the Milton Model, “Cause and Effect” is a power linguistic tool. It can be used several ways.
You can phrase your idea as some kind of cause, and use a generally desired event or condition as the effect.
Buying my product will cause you to be very happy.
Participating in this investment program will cause you to become wealthy.
Participating in this exercise program will cause you to lose weight.
You could also turn it around, and lead with the desirable effect, and then imply the cause to the positive effect.
If you really want to be successful, you should study these language patterns.
If you’d like to easily lose weight, you should exercise every morning.
If you want to have a comfortable retirement, you should start investing now.
If you’d like to enjoy your grandchildren growing up, you should quit smoking.
You can also link an increase in one event or condition to an increase in another state or condition, by using “the more…the more”
The more you exercise, the more weight you’ll lose
The more you study, the smarter you’ll become.
The less you watch TV, the more free time you’ll have.
Another way to make these sound a bit less obvious is phrase them other than “X causes Y,” as this can be easy to refute with a simple “no it doesn’t.”
Another way to say “X causes Y” is:
X leads to Y
X can make Y a real possibility
X is naturally followed by Y
You can also soften it up even more (and therefore making them harder to argue with) by quoting some other group, either real or vague.
Many people have discovered that exercise naturally leads to easy weight loss.
More and more people are starting to realize that the sooner you start with dollar cost averaging, the easier you’re retirement will be.
It’s been proven time and time again that by learning conversational use of the Milton Model, you’ll easily become the most persuasive speaker that anyone has ever come in contact with.
And of course, as I’m sure you’ve realized by now, that the more you read this blog, the easier it will be to do just that.
