Dr. Crew's NLP Lessons #28

CREATING A POSITIVE BELIEF
An Exercise

OK, are you ready?
First, think of a situation that is worrying you, that is due to happen some time in the future. For example, a difficult conversation you have to have with someone, a tense business meeting, or an important presentation.

1) In your mind's eye, imagine the event occurring in the future. You may you look up and in front of you as you imagine this event.

2) Now, look further out into the future, as if you were floating out in time 15 minutes after the very successful completion of the event. Be aware of what you see, hear, and feel and bring in all of the senses that have recorded the event successfully happening.

3) Next, think again about the event itself and simply notice how you now feel about the success, now in the present time.

4) Remaining in the present moment, consider how your level of concern has been altered.

* This technique helps to change the limiting belief by allowing your mind to practice the event happening successfully, almost like a mental rehearsal. When the event actually takes place, it has already been practiced, reducing your level of anxiety and providing you with more confidence.

Let me know how this exercise assists you!
