One of the techniques NLP Practitioners and Hypnotherapists use is called "Future Pacing." Here's how to use it in a persuasion format. http://www.hypnosis101.com/ As hypnotherapists, we take people out into the future and have them imagine already having achieved their goals. In other words, a person who wants to be thin and healthy and exercise regularly--we take them out into the future, having already achieved that and step them in to that. So they're imagining themselves out on the future thin and healthy and energetic and everything they want to be. We make sure there's a tremendous number of positive feelings attached to that imagination. So that whenever they think about exercising, that goal pops into their mind and they have all those positive feelings which motivate them to take action such as exercising or eating healthy. That's future pacing.

What is the Stroop effect and why should we care? http://www.hypnosis101.com The Stroop Effect is a widely studied phenomenon that looks at how the brain reacts when presented with conflicting information. In a Stroop test, the subject very quickly looks at a word and tells the tester what color the letters are. It's ingrained in us, at a very deep level, to process the meaning of words, no matter what the color of the letters. It's an automatic, conditioned, ingrained, unconscious response. The Stroop Effect is extremely difficult to overcome with conscious effort. There's not much you can do to change it, except... With hypnosis.
