LET ME REJUVENATE FIRST

There another “motivational” meta-program behind the Motivation Direction (#35), it is the Rejuvenation meta-program (#26). This perceptual filter governs the experience of re-charging your batteries when you are exhausted. “How do you best like to re-change: with people or by yourself?” Woodsmall added this to the NLP list of meta-programs, taking it from Myers-Briggs who took it originally from Carl Jung and because of that the terms used for this one are unfortunate: Introvert and Extrovert.

Normally we think of these words (introvert, extrovert) in terms of being social and one’s social skills, but that is not how these words are used here. Instead, the introvert is the one who re-charges his batteries by getting off by himself— meditating, taking a walk in nature, working on a puzzle, reading, listening to music, etc. The extrovert is the person who re-charges her batteries by getting with people, going out on the town, dancing, joining a club or sports group, going out to a party, etc.
