Employing Your NLP Skills To Produce Ideal Resource States
Whether or not you have found out about Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) in a book, or you have been given professional coaching in NLP, it is certainly valuable brushing up on your NLP skills. As soon as you bring NLP skills into your life, you give yourself more possibilities about how you live your life. In fact, it gives you the tools and practices to transform your relationships, your communication skills and to shine in whatever you wish to accomplish.
Something you will often hear talked about with respect to NLP skills is resource states. Suppose that you were able to feel any way you wish to feel any time you like, and it is really as straightforward as blinking. Now that would definitely be a gift worth having!
There are perhaps countless situations when you would like to be in more effective command of your feelings, but as yet you have not been able to learn this ability. For instance, many individuals are quite terrified of speaking before crowds. Even thinking about it ahead of time, we can turn ourselves into nervous wrecks. We recall situations when we have been anxious in front of groups previously, and we might also use our imaginations to conjure up everything that might go awry. And thus, it is something of a self-fulfilling phophecy.
You can notice from the example that we actually practise getting into damaging resource states, such as feeling nervous, on a regular basis. Although these states are not particularly useful, we clearly know well the practice of state induction and there is no reason why we should not utilize the same method to generate constructive resource states.
Given your already demonstrated skill at resource state induction, how would you like to feel instead of anxious? The choice is yours, but it would most likely be valuable to be self-assured and relaxed. There have possibly been a number of additional situations when you have experienced these feelings previously. All you have to do, as previously in negative circumstances, is to remember all the instances when you felt calm and self-confident and make it as authentic as you can. Be sure that you truly repeat the event. The more of your sensory faculties you use, the more effective it will be. Emotions, sights, sounds, scents and tastes – they are all applicable.
Now, if you are thinking that you can’t do this because you have never felt this way previously, then imagine how someone who is calm and self-confident would stand, breathe and feel. Perhaps this is someone you admire for being this way. 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.
You are probably now beginning to see the value of practising the NLP skills of creating resource states and anchoring. These are NLP techniques that you can apply to all areas of your life. Of course, the benefit of perfecting these skills is that the resulting states will considerably boost your communication skills and have a beneficial impact on the other individuals that you come into contact with.
