You can instantly change your state with NLP anchoring.
NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic-Programming, and is a school of thought or process of self-improvement that involves several elements including neurology, psychology and linguistics. It is based on the principles that we as humans never really know reality, only our perception of reality, and that life and mind are a systemic process. One of the techniques of NLP is called anchoring, which enables you to change your state of mind or mood instantly regardless of your physical circumstances. There are several techniques that will make the anchoring process work better.
Find a Trigger
Everyone has triggers from their past that bring back memories they have experienced. It can be a song, a smell or the way someone touches you that takes you back to the exact state of mind you were in when you first experienced it. Find a trigger that you can use to help bring you into the state of mind you desire. Common choices are squeezing the middle finger and thumb of one hand together or lightly pinching the flesh between your thumb and index finger.
Create a State
In order for the anchoring process to work for you, you must create a favorable state of mind to work from. Take some time by yourself and visualize a specific instance from your past that brought you joy. It doesn't matter what age you were or where it took place, as long as it was joyous. Put yourself right back into the situation and really feel that happiness again. The more intensity you can create the better it will work.
Timing
Once you have successfully recalled a joyous occasion and are at the absolute peak of that state of mind, apply your trigger. It is important that you physically feel all the same emotion and intensity you did when it first happened as the trigger is applied.
Break the Trance
After you have applied your chosen trigger for several seconds, break your trance. Release the thought from your mind and change your focus. Get up and walk around, shake your arms and legs and put yourself into a neutral state. This will give your mind a rest before you continue.
Repeat the Sequence
To firmly solidify this anchor in your mind, repeat the process several times. You want the end result to be for you to apply your trigger and instantly return to your joyous state of mind, so the more practice you get the better.
