SUMMARY I hope you’ve enjoyed another episode of Attraction Pebbles! This month, let’s talk about using creating and fostering NICK NAMES to create a sense of belonging and a sense of bond. Remember… We all have a need to feel like we belong somewhere or to someone. When we use nick names, we bypass our social conditioning and speak to the real person underneath. Here are some examples.
• “Danger Dave, Pistol Pete, Magic Mike.” • Generic Nick Names are great to use: Brat, Rebel, Chief, Muscles, Tiny, Mr. Trouble Maker • Hello Stranger! Hello Trouble. • Remember to use a nick name that also has “ego stroking” effects. It will indirectly show affection without directly giving anything away. So here’s your assignment this month! Go out there and use a couple of generic nick names on strangers, and see how they respond. First they may be taken back, but if you use it with charm and affection, soon you’ll realize that they’d appreciate the causal down to earth nature of your communication. So go out there and put it into practice! I look forward to seeing you next month!
