day 16

Today we will see the process called “anchoring”. This is the process that links events in our lives that are associated with intense emotional states with constant repetition. For example, is there a song that brings back memories of a particular person you were once in a relationship with? This is because while you were at the height of an emotional state, the sound of this music was playing. So, you remember the feelings of that distant moment once again when you listen to the music.

Anchoring is part of our lives. We are constantly learning to associate and create meaning from things that are happening around us and this usually occurs on an unconscious level of awareness. We will see how to understand anchoring so that we can take control of the process and use it to anchor what we want, when we want. Wouldn’t it be helpful to anchor yourself to feeling good about exercising or eating vegetables (if you don’t feel good about those things anymore?) or getting rid of the negative anchors that are currently connected to things you don’t really want to do. but do you know that they are good for you?

Mastering this skill can virtually it changes any area of ​​your life very quickly. Here’s how to create positive anchors.

1). The secret to grounding yourself is to first get into an intense emotional place. For example, standing up, breathing, smiling, gesticulating, or making statements when you’re really excited will help the grounding process.

two). Now create a “trigger” by performing a single action over and over again. This could be snapping your fingers, pressing your fingernail against the side of your hand (firmly enough to feel strong), saying the word excellent whenever you feel like you’re at the peak of emotion, repeating it dozens of times each time plus. your emotional intensity.

3). Now, change your status. Relax and change your focus for now.

4). Finally, practice what you just learned using the trigger you just conditioned yourself to use. You should feel your body return to that peak sensation.

Now, once we create the anchor we want, what if you want to get rid of one that’s driving you crazy?

To “collapse” a negative anchor

1). First, create a series of positive anchors. These can be touching the side of your arm, or one of the ways mentioned above.

two). Then, if the negative anchor was a certain word or touch, deliberately fire both the positive and negative anchors simultaneously. This will collapse the negative association. If you have done it correctly, you will have trained your brain to have a stronger anchor association with the new anchor than with the old one. Repeat several times to strengthen the response.

Finally, how about another great way to change a pattern? This is called a Snap pattern.

1). First, identify the behavior you want to change, and then see the undesirable behavior in your mind’s eye. Let’s say you want to change from biting your nails.

two). Next, create an image of yourself performing the new behavior. (Do not bite your nails and let them grow).

3). “Snap” the two images so that the undesirable behavior automatically triggers the clever one. To do this, make a clear, large, bright image of the undesirable behavior, then in the bottom right corner of THAT image, make a small dark image of the new way You want to be. Now, take that small image and, in less than a second, enlarge it in size and brightness and expand it through the first image of the behavior that you no longer want. As you do this, say the word wham! with all the passion and enthusiasm you can.

4). Speed ​​and repetition are the keys to this process. Now as fast as you can do this five or six times and have fun doing it. The message to your brain is, “See this? Whoosh! Do this. See this? Whoosh! Do this, etc.” until the old image automatically actually triggers the new image; the new states and thus the new behavior becomes a natural part of your life.

Now learning this was exciting. It doesn’t take years of therapy to fix some of these things, unless you want to go in that direction. Why would you do it? It requires attention and conscious effort.

These tools and skills are really designed to produce results quickly and I hope you will take the time to participate in this program. thank you very much for reading this.

Ahead.
