Quote of the Week

"Where words are restrained, the eyes often talk a great deal."

-Samuel Richardson (18th Century Novelist) 🌼

This Week's "Subconscious Success" Tip

Did you know that the way your eyes automatically move can actually provide clues about your thinking process?

This concept, called eye accessing cues in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), suggests that eye movements can help us understand what’s happening beneath the surface—whether it’s recalling a memory, creating something new, or tuning into emotions.

This subtle practice that makes a difference in your day-to-day interactions and self-reflection.

Also, if you interact with humans in your day-to-day work, this may give you some insight on their information processing style, which could allow you to ask better questions and build more intimate relationships by adjusting your choice of words.

How to Apply This Tip

First, learn the cues! These are presented as if you're looking in the mirror. (flip if you're looking at someone's face)

Example of how to apply:

Imagine you’re reflecting on a difficult decision. You notice that you often look down and to the left when thinking it over—this indicates internal dialogue, suggesting that perhaps you’re engaging in self-talk rather than processing your true feelings.

By noticing this, you can shift your eyes to the right, tapping into the kinesthetic space and allowing yourself to access any emotions connected to the decision. This small shift can reveal insights that your inner dialogue alone might miss.

Alternatively, next time you'd like to gain some new inner insight on something, notice where your eyes naturally go while thinking of situation and then move your eyes to other positions to see if you gain new perspectives. Perhaps you can access your inner self talk or feelings if you typically only access visuals (and vice versa).

Why It Works (The Short Version)

Research in NLP suggests that eye movements correspond with certain cognitive processes, allowing us to access different parts of our subconscious mind.

By becoming aware of these subtle cues, we can open up new pathways for creative thinking, emotional processing, and self-reflection. This practice doesn’t just increase self-awareness; it also helps us connect with our inner wisdom, revealing insights that may be hidden in everyday thinking.

Ready To Try It?

Here are a few ways to play with what you just learned this week:

• Give it a try the next time you’re reflecting or problem-solving, and see what new perspectives emerge.

• Experiment with different directions to access memories, feelings, or creative thoughts.

• Check in throughout the day to observe how this influences your insights and emotions.

Try it with friends and family and see what you notice about their responses!
