(By Abby Eagle) How do you want to feel when you wake up in the morning? How do you want to feel as you drive to work? How do you want to feel when you go to sleep at night? Confidence, love, happiness, calmness, excitement? How do you want to feel? Most of us know what it feels like to experience a specific feeling but how do you get hold of that feeling when you need it most?
The simplest way is to bring awareness to the feeling when you naturally experience it and then reinforce the state by acknowledging it to yourself. Then in the context where you want to experience the feeling just remind yourself of how much you enjoy it. For example, let's say that there is a moment in the day when you feel a sense of excitement. If you like feeling excited then you would repeat out loud.
"I like feeling excited. I like this feeling. This feels good. I want to feel excited when I wake up in the morning. I want to feel excited throughout the day. I want to feel excited when I go to sleep at night and most importantly I want to feel excited when I wake up in the morning, just becomes it feels good to feel excited."
1. Identify a resource state that would be useful for you and name it. A resource state is a positive feeling like calmness, relaxation, peacefulness, happiness, love, excitement, power, strength, playfulness.
2. Remember a time when you felt that way. See what you could see at the time, hear what you could hear, feel what you could feel and step all the way back into the memory.
3. Focus in on the muscle tension of the resource state; focus in on the muscle relaxation of the resource state; get in touch with the physiology of the resource state; demonstrate the posture of the resource state; demonstrate the breathing of the resource state and give the facial expression of the resource state.
4. Invite your unconscious mind to turn up the good feelings.
5. Then affirm to your self, to your unconscious mind that you like feeling this way. Move your body in a way that is a demonstration of the resource state and say the appropriate words out loud. The words - the affirmation - will become a direct suggestion to your unconscious mind to bring on that state, for example.
"I like feeling excited. I like this feeling. This feels good. I want to feel excited when I wake up in the morning. I want to feel excited throughout the day. I want to feel excited when I go to sleep at night and most importantly I want to feel excited when I wake up in the morning, just becomes it feels good to feel excited."
6. Future pace the state into the appropriate contexts. That is, situations, places, times and with specified people where you want to feel that way. A future pace is a mental rehearsal - a post hypnotic suggestion for how you want to behave at some time in the future. Let me know how you go with this procedure.
