Working With Your NLP Skills To Design Ideal Resource States

If you have found out about Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) in a book, or you have had formal coaching in NLP, it is certainly worth brushing up on your NLP skills. When you include NLP skills into your everyday life, you grant yourself more options about how you live your life. In effect, NLP gives you the methods and practices to enhance your relationships, your communication skills and to excel in whatever you wish to achieve.

The subject of this piece is resource states, as talked about in the context of NLP skills. Suppose that you were able to feel however you want to feel any time you desire, and it is really as painless as breathing. Just how marvelous would that be!

You realize that there are situations when we wish that we could act differently. For example, a lot of men and women are quite terrified of speaking before crowds. Even worrying about it in advance, we can turn ourselves into nervous wrecks. Our imaginations go into overdrive as we review all the other times when we have felt anxious, and then they amplify all those lousy feelings, secure in the certainty that it is bound to happen again. And thus, it is somewhat a self-fulfilling phophecy.

You can see from the example that we actually practise getting into negative resource states, such as feeling worried, on a regular basis. Although these states are not particularly useful, we clearly know well the process of state induction and there is no reason why we should not implement the same method to generate beneficial resource states.

So, what type of emotional state would be beneficial in this circumstance? The choice is yours, but it would most likely be helpful to be confident and calm. There have perhaps been many other instances when you have felt these feelings previously. Just settle down and think back to when you last felt comfortable and self-confident. Maybe it was yesterday or perhaps many years ago. Recollect everything about it, from how you was standing, how you were breathing, how you felt, what you saw and what you were listening to back then.

In the unlikely event that you are not able to call to mind any situations when you felt the type of states that you are intending to access, then you possibly know someone who is a role model for you, who you can impersonate. Maybe you know them personally or they are a public figure, and you can effortlessly think about how they would approach your situation and behave as they would. Observe, hear and sense as they would and copy them.

You may have noticed that sometimes that there little things that trigger memories and all the associated feelings you experienced at the time. Maybe, it is someone giving you a slap on the back that reminds you of how you felt when your father gave you a congratulatory one upon your passing an exam, or perhaps a whiff of a certain perfume brings to mind a romantic dance. These triggers are known as anchors, and as one of your NLP skills, you can choose an appropriate anchor and integrate it into the resource state that you are working on. So, you need to make your chosen state as big and bold as you can and then build in an anchor, such as scratching the tip of your nose. Then, whenever you do this action again, it will bring back the feelings of the resource state automatically.

If you become a master of the NLP skills of inducing favorable resource states and successfully anchoring them, then you bring so many more options into your daily life as you know that you can’t be thrown by any situation. Even if you are initially, you have the necessary skills to reclaim the situation and ensure that you act to the best of your ability.
